NOT the most efficient tree removal.

Heck, may as well cut the logs into firewood length while your up there! I can't believe they filmed five minutes straight. Fast forward to 3:30 if you get bored, looks like he was.

I wanted flash pellets if he is the knoxtreeninja, some nunchucks knocking some limbs off, and somewhere some chinese stars.

At least that saw he had was cutting at peak performance.

I fast forwarded but was still bored.

I get worked up seeing stuff like this. I'll hold back the comments.

depends on what you get paid an hour. low money Chunky chunky, big money fasty fasty.

That chain could prolly use a touch up.


I confess to doing little chunks like that over driveways sometimes rather than moving a rigging anchor.

No doubt.....however....that saw could be a gutless 017-021 that would stumble if presented with cold butter......

As far as chunking down goes....many times, it makes sense...specially if the wood has to be cut anyhow...small drop zone...no desire to bother with blocking...ground crew busy with clean-up..etc etc.

yeah, not to mention the unnessisary and extremely dangerous one handed saw use. (I usually have no problem with one handed saw use but what he did in the first 20 seconds really bothered me after that thread in Awakenings about the guy who cut off his arm.)

In my neck of the woods. I'm doing 90% of my work in nicely landscaped suburbia...

I can't get away with that too much. I'd leave the turf into a lunar landscape.

Theoretically, there are times for chunking down small wood, but I don't think that this was it.

I think that his ground crew was more likely busy doing something else, like not being present. I doubt that he was just pulling one out of a bag of tricks. With that open dropzone, I'd just drop them in multiples of firewood lengths, then cut them on the ground. No ground crew required. Nothing too big to move into a good cutting position. A lot would already be propped up off the ground to some extent.

Bad technique, bad PPE.

He's trying to advertise himself. Can't knock him for that. He didn't even disable comments, where he is having his A$# handed to him.

He might be almost done with his pruning job and was concerned about dropping big blocks that might break a large, superficial root, so he was using the small blocks a pad for the larger ones.

Oh, that was a removal.
