falling challenge big tulip through deck

Either you are trolling, playing with us, or you really are that clueless! No matter the case, please fucking stop! I beg of you. My liver just can't take anymore.

I would instruct everyone to pause the frame at 1:58. Without a doubt one of the worst undercuts I have ever seen a so-called expert make. World class hackery on full display. I have sent folks packing for making better looking cuts than that. Nuff said.

You once again use the word "Throw" to describe you ripping a top out with a pull line. Throw would imply that the top is being pushed from behind. Certainly not whats happening here.

Your intent was to "throw" this top over the Maple, no? We can clearly see that your top did nothing more than plow right through the maple, removing a punch of brush along the way. Notice all the green brush laying next to the stone dead top. Where the fuck did that come from? Freeze frame at 2:58. I will let the viewers decide whether the top went over, or through the Maple?

If I had the capability of being rendered speechless, thats where I would be right about now.

Right

Perfect shot

Got as much forward movement as possible...

Taking a dangerous tree and rendering it harmless in one cut....

With only small 1 to 2 inch limbs breaking out of the maple... did you ever prune a tree... wouldn't you take a lot more than that out if you were pruning it

Notch was what was needed to get the job done no more no less

You're hung up on how a notch looks

I care about is it going to get the job done or not

Knowing what works, what doesn't and why is required... if you're not there yet, stay in your box

If
 
And yes again it is good to define our terms


For me throwing a top means any time I'm trying to put some distance between the cut and the Ark. Of the moving piece to clear obstacles and that can be forward most often but can also be sideways as well how it gets there wouldn't be part of the definition
 
I'm beginning to think you just might be suffering from some strange, rare form of delusion, because we literally just watched that ash top go through the maple, not "jump over the maple" as was your stated intent. Now if your intent was to do a little "pruning" on the maple, courtesy of the ash top as it plowed its way through, then well played Daniel. Well played.

And yes that notch was worthy of some shame buddy, so shame on ya'.

Addendum to my post. Wife just walked in from weekly food run, and viewed the closeup of your under-cut. Her response went something like this- "who's the hack?" True story buddy.

I can’t believe I didn’t catch this thread last week. I can’t believe I just read it all...

So, Daniel, if you wait till my kids are on spring break in a few weeks, I will load my fam up for a trip and we will head your way. I will gladly film you topping this tree from an extension ladder on the porch. I’ve even got a good HD 32’er that I’ll let you use. I’ll strap it to the roof of my Jetta. But if you break it you buy it. Lucky for you, I’m no dummy, my filming skills are right on par with your felling skills. Plenty good to get it done....So between the two of us we should definitely capture the art and raw talent of Daniel Murphy, abortionist, err aah arborist extraordinarie. It’s obvious that you are aspiring to be the bam Margera of tree cutting and that your recklessness is nothing more than film antics. I don’t see you achieving that level of fame but I’d love to do my part in helping you get shit done.

Bonus is I’m only just turning 40, so the empathy hormones haven’t fully released in my brain like in the case of Rico and evo and Tom on here. So that means I don’t care if you fuck shit up, get hurt or even die trying to get that shot. So I’ll totally advocate for you doing your thing as recklessly or ridiculously or ignorantly as you desire. It’ll be all about that skull x bones disclosure at the beginning of your video. You’re clearly a stunt man and these trolling antics you engage in are literally self promotion and I might argue, self preservation for your break out YouTube career.

So let’s see you get famous or dying trying. I may not speak for everyone on here when I say get that tulip job and get that ladder out and get to hacking out those face cuts/notches. After all beavers manage to fell trees with multi-angled, precision face cuts. And I’ve seen them chased down with steep angled back cuts, so you may want to open that door for this tree too. Do it right man, utilize the full skill set. Give it the Full Murphy. Nothing funny about safety.

@Nickstulz Can't speak for all, but keep those fucking videos to youtube and outta here. Home owners sending themselves to the hospital is not fun or educational.

It's educational for homeowners who think it's going to save them a bunch of money to just put a ladder up there rather than pay a pro, but I guess they aren't here.

I had a homeowner like that the other day that I was bidding for. 72 years old and scheduled for back surgery later that week with a Bradford pear in his front yard. Told me while I was bidding it that he thought he could "get up there and cut those limbs"

I bid it low to save him the injury, but I've yet to hear back from him.
 
It saddens me when I scroll through the comments on Daniel's YouTube vids, and read all the comments commending him for the good job and thanks so much for teaching this. I sat and stared at the cut at 1:58 as recommended and just shook my head. I'd like to think theres such a thing as thinking TOO far outside the box, but this guy is so delusional and confident I don't think he has any idea where the box is anymore.

Keep hammering his delusions Rico. Maybe one day, maybe, he'll stop.
 
So which type of notch, BackCut, hinge width and pull strategy would have thrown the ash top farther and minimized other tree damage?

[QUOTE="Daniel, post:
I haven't even put a bid in and was stand-offish with the client. The job is a little far from my usual area and a steep driveway over 400' to the house... I'd really like to put a bid in to just drop everything in the woods and walk.. that last one spoiled me.. CLient is dumping a ton of $ into the house and he would like to save some $ on the trees..

If we look past that debacle masquerading as an under-cut and the fact that the top did not "jump over the maple" and simply plowed through the maple, then honestly Daniel did about as well as one could expect. If one were going to truly clear that maple they were going to need over 15 ft of jump. Good luck with that.

If your goal was not to tear up the maple, then why not simply take the time necessary to piece the ash down? Since you wouldn't need to spend time rigging and pulling the maple out of the way, time spent on the job would be about the same. Plus the maple sustains zero damage!

This vid is just one more example of some very subpar cutting, and Daniel once again asking us to not believe our own eyes.
