What not to do - two videos

[DruidCarol]

First up is why you don't use a ladder, or if you do, think it through:

The second is all about cheap stump removal... or not:

That one was definitely alcohol fueled.

Man that guy on the ladder, that was awesome. Maybe before next time he will watch Daniel Murphy's tutorial on working with ladders on trees.
Ill be honest, back when I was 18-19, the whole "cut it high and let it fly!" thing started from notching stuff from the top of an orchard ladder trying to get 40 vertical ft to fit into 28 vertical ft of space. My move was to leave a lot of hinge, hit the chain brake, and bail incase the tree or limb hit the ladder.
Back then my tree work had 6:00 news written all over it.
