The trouble with Youtube videos....

[nz paul]

It looked like he had a main,or middle stem that he could of worked/anchored in instead of hugging that limb,but probably cut it first. Yes good on him for having a go but it would be good if someone helped him out and showed him the right safe way or hes Just another fatality/accident waiting to happen.

Oh my god!

Fair play to the guy for doing it but I think he got away with it unharmed due to luck, nothing else.

Taking that sizes top off demonstrates balls of steel or total naivety. I reckon the latter.

I was bricking it at 2:14 when he put his left hand up to push off a leaning chog while his other hand was still holding the throttle on!

FairPlay to him, for a first timer that was pretty ballsy.

[Scott Walker]

Hats off to him trees down and he's saved him self some dollar he's the one laughing.

Before you ridicule people think back to your first job, did you make a cock of it? If you didn't its only because you had someone showing to stop you.

 

 

How would you have taken that stem on with nothing more than that weedy little saw?

 

Who said i was ridiculing that particular man? The post is about people tackling very dangerous jobs armed with nothing more than a bit of Youtube viewing.

 

No i didn't make a cock of my first job thankyou.

 

I would have made sure that i didn't put myself in the position he was in at 2:14 when he nearly put that running chain through his chest.

 

 

 

Agreed he finished the job and was unharmed, but that was by luck and next time he might not be so lucky.

 

Had the job ended differently, with him seriously injured or even dead, it wouldn't be a case of 'fair play to him, at least he had a go'

looks like dadio will be getting envious of that felling cut. (thats my british humour)

 

But fair play to him for doing that i remember being talked step by step through my first rigging job. No-one with him and only using youtube for guidance id say fair play but a few times i was worrying for his safety with the saw.

My bad, it must have been this specific description of that mans actions that confused me.

 

then gets up there with an electric back hand saw with one hand, no step cuts on the chogs, hits the house and check out the gob for the finale

 

I didn't realise you intended to take the pee out of anyone who learns anything from you tube, its how I (and others) learned to splice rope

[Arbtech Tree Services]

Agreed, there are a lot of things that can indeed be learnt from Youtube, it is a resource just as Arbtalk and many others.

 

However, where is the line to be drawn?

 

I personally don't think that ariel saw work with rigging is something to play with on the strength of watching a video.
