You know what Daniel, when you first started showing videos long ago, my problem with you was you talked to the camera like you were a teacher. But you taught risky crap and I was afraid stupid people might follow you.
You showed a very recent video link on another post. You're proud of this?

This is what I tried to write as a response, but treeslayer has the comments set for him to review before he posts them.
"I told people it would happen. Daniel keeps putting out that cowboy dramatic crap and some stupid people will start doing things that way too. Here's the proof. You roll the customer's shed (hope it was garbage), tweak a utility pole that isn't yours and put the customer's house at some risk to do things fast and cheap. Yeah, you got da money now, so go git drunk and let ur boyz buy themselves some crack. We need arborist work to be viewed as professional, not go the other way."
Now, I will say this. Your stuff was really rough and risky years ago. You got better. Your trimming got better, your cabling got better. Of course, the whole time you talk like you are the top thinker of all tree men.
But now this treeslayer video brings me back to my original dislike of your video postings.
Yeah, we actually do use your name at work as vocabulary too.
We say, "don't do a Daniel". Which means, take the time to do it right and safe, don't take a risky short cut.
