And nobody died??

[Metals406]

Watch all 6 videos if you can. . . In part 6's description, these guys are called "professionals", and the viewer is directed to look at the "nice" stump at the end of the video.

There are sooooo many things wrong with this whole goat-rope, I couldn't even begin to list them all.

I am speechless.........:jawdrop:

 

[parrisw]

Hmmm, don't know what to say??

 

[WoodChuck'r]

I wish the video could have ended up with a death.

As Mel Brooks once said - "Tragedy is when I get a papercut on my finger, comedy is when you fall into a sewer and die".

 

[jerryw66]

Painful to watch all 6, but I did, I'd like to send them a chain file, and a donation for funeral expenses.

 

[wigglesworth]

That was nuts. Seriously, its only a matter of time before that dude makes his last cut.....

 

[bitzer]

Thats how 95% of Americans fell trees. I only watched the first and last. You give a guy a saw and he automatically is a pro. It took him forever in the last vid to get through that thing. If it wasn't for something to help pull it down, getting that saw out would have been fun. That chain must have been dull as hell or pinching half of the time. I am amazed that more people are not killed or maimed felling trees. That stump looks par for the course around here with weekend warriors. I'm surprised he didn't use a sloping backcut.

 

[MnSam]

A sharper chain and it might have been 2 videos instead of 6.

 

[striperswaper]

can't believe that guy has lived long enough to look that old

and he looks old enough to know better, but to film it and post it??
god does take care of fools, he is living proof

 

[Farmall Guy]

Wow..... I'm not sure what else to say.

I guess a good notch isnt nessesary when the chain gets dull, must save alot of time by not stopping to file then make that extra un-nessasary cut :jawdrop:

This guy is definatly waiting for darwin to come calling

 

[Article10]

Wow, that was painful, I only watched the first and last vids.

Just be thankful you do not have to work with him, to quote him at the end "that was a tough one" yep, when you are stupid they all seem tough don't they?

 

[Scooterbum]

He should change his name to "Lucky"

 

[Meadow Beaver]

You mean like this Lucky

 

[Kupreanof]

For you guys that only watched 1 and 6, go back and watch 2 starting at 1:30!

Dibs on the ladder when the inevitable happens...

 

[sawinredneck]

"Now that's the power of Stihl":greenchainsaw:

I don't even know where to start. I had to watch them all, I was sucked in, couldn't stop. I loved the hanger in part two and the engenious way he got it down:monkey:
The ladder didn't move as much as I expected it to.:jawdrop:

 

[Cedarkerf]

Im ashamed hes from the PNW WOW what a big tree, the chain wasn't dull it was probably his most experienced chain. Experience trumps sharpness

 

[Kupreanof]

I'm surprised this guy hasn't been offered a role on axemen!

 

[rarefish383]

I didn't have time to watch all of them. I was thinking my 11 year old Black Lab could have chewed the thing down faster. I had a minute and a half into the final cut and I don't think he hit the cambium yet, Joe.

 

[superduty5.4guy]

He's probably one of those guys who sharpens the cutters on the top using a flat file, thinking 'now thats the way its done'. I see that from time to time and it just makes me put my head down and laugh every time.
