Apparently, "felling a tree isn't hard"

Interesting how he describes the gob cut . Very open ( angled top and bottom ) ........possibly written by a beaver ?

Nice find!

 

there will be a few jobs to clear up over the bank holiday then!

 

 

yeah cutting trapped saws out or replacing crushed fencing haha

 

you might have to wait for the ambulance crews and police to clear the scene of the accident first though

common sense should tell you how to chop down a tree and when to call in a pro...

 

Unfortunately, those two words tend not to go together these days.

There may well be but I suspect they will be jobs for the A&E department

What a load of tosh. It's difficult enough to follow as a trained professional. How a DIYer would interpret it is open to much speculation. I'd venture that if someone came a cropper following their 'advice' and using their tools a decent QC could make a case for The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 or similar.

What a load of balls! Lol can't actually believe what I was reading!

 

Someone is going to get very hurt!

 

If you want a tree felled and you are unsure, call a pro!

Felling a tree is easy though! Getting it to go where you want is the skilled bit, otherwise nobody would bugger it up and get tree surgeons. We need people to bugger up attempts to reiterate why we are needed in the first place!

I was given some Birch about a foot thick trunk recently and when I went to fetch it the woman told me her brother had cut the tree down with an axe. It was in a field so it didn't really matter where it landed but it would have been easier with a saw.

He had prob bought hissel a Granfors Brucks and simply needed to play with it!

P.S.

It is as easy, or hard, to fell a tree, as it is to drive competently!

Both merely require a modicum of brain function and physical coordination.

Seriously!
