Seen this amateur cutting down a tree

[t0ny0k]

Driving around yesterday and caught a glimpse of a guy up a tree. I could not believe what set up he had. Few hours later I was out and could not resist stopping to take these photos. The guy was not around, maybe I should of checked to see if he had fallen off. The scaffolding had to be at least 15 feet high, then the ladders on top.

I doubt they fella climbed so much as five rungs on that ladder before he realized what seemed to be a good idea turned out to be a dangerous idea...

Saw very similar last week could not get pictures. Medium size oak being dead wooded 1 bloke with chainsaw looked like a ms170 tied to his waist with a bit of rope walking about in tree then when he wanted to get further up to top of tree picked ladder from up tree placed it in fork and rested in crown and climbed up it. And when they were clearing up young lad cutting log with same saw 1handed will handing bit of wood in the air with other.

Sounds like someone's guardian angels deserve a pay rise...
