another backleaner

bullsh*t .ten feet on that jaloppy gets you what ? how about twenty five feet . Slings and things and all aside if you had a Larger ( much) bucket you wouldn't have made that cut . Stop bullsh*iting. Thats why you get beat up , because you talk so much sh*t. I've known you for a long time , that was a fk it cut . straight up and you know it , and if it went wrong no one would have seen it , fact . I hate bullsh*t. One more thing , why on all your videos that you cut trees over you run when the tree is falling ( watch it your self). not walk , you run . why ? WTF. stop bashing TB and realize that you are not Gods gift to tree work . You made a nice cut and got it on video , but it was lucky . Your tools are outdated and your presentation is weak . Clint Eastwood couldn't help you . Your talking to people like they never did this before . The wheel is round , can you make a better one ? You are way out of control . Watch how you reply , or I'll rip you a new .....
 
Here's the thing you must not know about me Glenn..

I DO NOT BS.. I call it like it is, and that is a personal value that I very rarely bend or break.

The fact that you think that was a f-it cut shows me one of two things.. either you didn't watch and read closely, or you've never seen trees getting cut on this level before. Face it pal.. you grew up in brym mawr, not the PNW.. around here you're lucky to find one person in any company that understands how to make a simple proper notch and back cut, much less have a thorough understanding of the compexities of tree falling. Just ask Teti how much he learned on Katrina.

You may be one of the most productive big removal arborists that ever lived (and I mean that sincerely), but don't think you understand everything about how I cut trees.. I have a few tricks up my sleeve that you have yet to see.. I tried to tell you that 2 years ago in Manellas and your boy just laughed at me.

Then later you told me the "plunge will get you in trouble one day".. So can I put you in the same category with Roger? You don't plunge anything but front leaners? UNfortunatelty there aren't enough fallers on TB that know what can be done with the plunge cut to stand up to the critical mass of ignorance on the subject here.

SO sober up and smell the coffee, because you don't know how I AM cutting trees these days.. You may have met me when I didn't know how to use a port a wrap (true story). BUT Times have changed.

Just a note about basic human nature... whenever someone makes that kind of statement. They tend to be very insecure about whatever it is they're making such a strong statement about.

You BS Daniel, I BS, we ALL BS. It's fundamental, healthy humans do it all the time.
 
allright I warned ya .
Save this for your obit.
Here lies Murph
bullSh*tter who found out too late that a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous.donatations can be sent to the American Society of BullSh*tters. ASBS
RIP
- I know what your doing , I've seen you plunge cut trees that my 14 yr old could drop . Why ? cause you learned how to do it and now it's "cutting edge" .stay with me here because I 'm drinking coffee. When your doing tree work and you are panickky, running , yelling , that to me says one thing, your nervous . I bet you have had problems with the plunge cut , but you won't admit it . Thats a good cut for certain situations , not all . Lets get back to this video . You yanked a Locust tree off of the wires , had your mini bucket parked under , and your trying to sell this cut as " science" . You take un nenecessary chances for one reason , you have to . Keep playing around and you'll find out . Your not the first man to play games and the price you pay , will be higher than the price you got.
I've always been a fan of logging . Seen alot of shows in my day , talked to alot of loggers at shows. Your right I'm from Bryn Mawr , not a logging town . Katrina?( your always name dropping too) how about Bob? that was a good one. I can't say I wouldn't have pulled that Locust over like you , but if if did , I would have been like "phew" man that was lucky. I just finished my 29th summer full time cutting trees , I don't run , I don't yell , and I don't play with trees . My mom said to me when I was a kid , I come home from kindergarten upset, " If they don't play nice , don't play with them "
you asked me to watch your videos and I did . WTF . Should I lie . I just saw "The AMerican" worst movie I ever saw in my life , so George Clooney is probally getting beat up pretty good . You movie stars are so sensitive when the reviews come out . The backleaner gets three stars , mostly for entertainment. Thats more than Clooneys movie .
My tongue is sharper than my saws , and I have sharp saws.
Should I get another cup of coffee ? Cut a tree down and just stand there , take it in .
 
YA GLEN... GREAT post

GREAT for getting somebody killed. "Cut a tree down and just stand there" (you ought to be ashamed of yourself Roger & Blinky for supporting that statement) And the pions here are already starting to parrot that poisonous mentality. Seriously.. are trying to get someone killed?

Yes, I could stand safely on the vast majoriy of trees I cut, on and off camera. And I AM fine with staying at the cut and steering a tree with backcut as it falls, when needed and safe. I'll stand at the stump or in the hooks.. when its safe to do. I've shown it.. WILL YOU?

Why do I run?.. out of habit.. its the safety training.. GOL.. escape path 45º back from stump to either side.. You are correct in that there is no danger in standing at the stump on a good tree or spar, with no hangers or deadwood, well cut hinge, no chance of contacting another tree on the way down. However I cringe when I watch a video of a west coast faller, stand at the stump and look out as he dominos a couple monsters through the forrest.

I wouldn't want any newbie here to read your post and think its OK to stand at the stump when dropping trees in the woods. That's a death wish. What about the guy in Deleware that worked with Hop, that got Killed falling a simple everyday tree? How close to home does it have to get.

As far as getting loud, that isn't always the case. PLenty of hand signals etc. And Sammy's got a bad ear.. Yes, I may get excited, but that isn't nervous.. Check out my face on the slow-mo tulip drop that eveyone freaked out about.. NO WORRIES.. it was 100%, just the same way that backleaning locust was.. You'd go "phew I was lucky" because you don't have the skill and experience to know that it wasn't.. You may be extraordinarily great at what you do, but you still have PLENTY to learn...

AND TOM D.. this is exactly what I AM talking about.. what is wrong with this site. Here you have two elders patting someone on the back for giving the advice "don't run, just stand there at the stump and take it in".. And you pride yourself on this site being up on safety.. YOU ALL ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Its disgusting.
 
you run because you are scared ! It's disgusting that you talk down on people . Running like a b*tch. .Your scared , I know fear , your full of it , wanna be somebody ? Be real . Cmon Daniel , you wanna be that guy ? you tube ? Sammy? becareful what you wish for , you keep running on those cuts , but you can't hide . You should be ashamed of yourself for talking down on people who have done this for a long time . Your scared ! If I had your Ballz Id quit twenty years ago . Cmon Murph , wanna play with the big boys ? You don't have it , bring your camera. You run out of fear , you wanna be the man , the star . Watch your videos . You are scared . Take it in Murph , your the expert cutter , is the tree gonna come back and kill you ? no ones cutting trees like you , Thank God! Your scared , scared of not getting away . SCARED! trick or treat . The only thing wrong with this site is a scared wanna be super star talking sh*t. You don't get ballz at your age , thats why you run . Scared , nervous , unsure . Full of Sh*t ! I call it like I see it . Scared! any body reading this who is a rookie , understand this , Daniel is full of sh*t. did I spell that wrong ? Hey Daniel , bring it ! What you do , has been done , what you wanna do , has been done , what you can't do has been done . Sad part is , if you had my ballz , you'd be dead .
The worst part is that your gonna die playing your dumb video games and I'm gonna go to your funeral and get smashed , tell every one I told him so , and than go home to my wife and get yelled at for being smashed . Your a student not a teacher , your lucky for now . And you'll always be scared .and full of sh*t! are we still friends ? HA ! keep running Forest ! Run !when your done tree work buy a shrimp boat

YA, we're still friends..
That gets an A+ for humor.. still laughing...
so you gonna splice that tenex sling for me?
 
Daniel, you are out of line.
I don't know anyone on this site from Adam, but I find the "mass" to be well experienced, informed, and educated in the work we do. Truely you are the only person that I have real concern for.
The vast majority here has expressed serious concern with some of your work habits but you have not once considered that, maybe just maybe, they could be right.
I do not profess to know everything, not from a long shot. If someone expresses concern with something I do, even if I have an answer, I will consider and try to learn from thier input. I won't automatically call them closeminded and "stuck in a box".
There are many things that I see in your videos that are quite troubling, most of which are still unexplained or the seriousness downplayed:

You posted a video censouring yourself. WTF??

You routinely bang up neighbouring trees and claim it's no big deal. That is something myself and I'm sure many others here strive very hard not to allow. Smashing up preserved trees reflects badly on our profesionalism.

You've posted videos where limbs crash into your boom, and again claim it's no big deal.

You regularly use machinery to tension lines. Why??? This is pushing your workplace hazards into higher risk areas for NO reason.

You routinely drop large trees very close to infrastructure with NO reason. WHY? For the sake of a video????

On a personal note I see alot of what appears to be very healthy trees coming down. God help PA and it's urban forest.

You seem to be a gluton for punishment, posting videos you know will get criticized.
I am not picking at you, I am genuinely concerned. No one here is going to enjoy saying "I told you so".
 
stop with the lies.. tell riggs its ok, you agree with him to stand at the stump and watch as you fall a tree, BUT stop the lies..

I have never crashed a limb into my boom. NEVER.. and you're just another idiot for saying so.. Put your glasses on and look again. That limb hit the spar next to the boom..

I break one little 1.5" branch of a robust unkept red maple and then go prune the one litle branch that got broken.. and you have a problem with that? ARE you smokin' crack or just plain stupid?

What appears to you on a little 20" screen to be healthy trees, are often extremely hazardous trees.. another ignorant statement... have you never seen a hollow tree? or a cracked main stem on an otherwise healthy looking tree.

Just because you are cluless, doesn't make my work unsafe.. Not becasue you or anyone else says so. You think its unsafe to tension lines with equipment.. I tell you the flexibility that allows in tree work makes it much safer than not doing so. When I work with a well coordinated team that understands how and when to do so, its all good, and the possabilities that allows are huge.

NOW I don't care WHO says different.. NO ONE can tell me that isn't so.. SO when you or anyone else says so , I KNOW I AM hearing from an ignorrant, inexperienced, small minded, arborist that thinks he knows a lot more than he does. And if it's true, why isn't it in the ANSI standard?

People talk a lot of SHT on line.. do you think you can show me better tree work? I'd like to see.. show us what you got or keep your stupid criticisms to yourself.
 
"idiot, retarded, stupid, clueless, ignorant, inexperienced, small minded." All in one post.
And you have a problem with the posters here on treebuzz?
