You guys, Daniel is clearly deranged. Probably not a danger, considering he prefaces most verbal or written attacks with "Pal".
I enjoy his flame-outs. It happens every few months, he will get his dose of attention, and, secure in the knowledge that he is supremely capable in his profession, he ventures out to videotape his ordinary tree work. Ordinary with the exception that he uses skidsteers and pickup trucks to pull over trees. Backassward in industry terms, but miles ahead of the competition in his mind.
Flame on Daniel. It's time you showed us simple folk how you clean gutters. Tree work is not your strong suit. You know it, everyone else knows it. Gutterman.

Oh my Daniel! something without value to anyone but your own outsized ego.
You rant like a child whenever someone disagrees with you, you fail to answer important and telling questions and then focus on trivial details...as if all our accumulated experience is wrong and only you are right. You claim to be an old hand at real tree work and you aren't.

It's easy to talk crap online Chip.. you can go off about my mediocre talents, call me lucky, a pussey, gutter cleaniong meglomaniac or anything else. Some pimple faced 18 year old can tell me I don't know what I AM doing or that my techniques are reckless and unsafe. Some hillbilly or weekend warrior that never ran a bucket truck or a skid loader in his life can talk crap about my equipment and its use. Half the people talking crap on this thread have probably never even used a plunge cut to fall a tree. You can say anything you want online. There's no accountability.
IN the real world it takes a little more than talking crap to get it done.. In the REAL WORLD I just bought a $86K bucket truck with cash and you can't afford a video camera.
I've been on the cover of TCI Mag. twice, been invited to give a presentation and the international ISA symposium on innovation, wrote an article on footlocking that Tom D called the most complete publication on the subject, in either written or video format, won the aerial rescue in Penn Del when I was 46 years old, and shown the most broad ranging video librbary of advanced and complex climbing, rigging, and falling techniques used in suburban arboriculture in the world for free.
And I've put up with the ignorance and stupidity of small minded arbosrists here on TB that can't get out of their boxes (with you at the head of the pack), in order to spur thinking and reach those that that are wanting to learn.

Wow Daniel! You bought a bucket truck with cash... or at least you say you did but in that same post you made it clear that you can say whatever you want on the net. I don't believe you.
Anybody who spends as much energy on self-promotion as you, should by now I hope, have a few covers. I'll bet you send them pictures every month. I've had a number of pics published in tree rags... But they were requested, i didn't send them on spec. Whoopie doo! It's not like that's an accomplishment of merit, for either of us. They're just pictures, they don't mean anything.
Of all the people on this forum you are by far the one that talks the most and does the least. I'll bet you you do a lot of driveways along with your gutter gig, maybe some brush clearing and grubbing... then when you finally bag a tree job, out comes the video rig and it's 'hey look at me' time.
It's just another way to shore up the overwhelming insecurity you must feel... as evidenced by your repeated statements of great accomplishment and frequent personal attacks. The problem with the world today is that noisy, ambitious fools like you worm your way into positions of leadership and then feed your ego at the cost of other people's misery. You'd be a great politician.
I'm sure you're proud of your very average skillset, but that's all it is... average. Did you happen to notice i stayed quiet on this thread until i'd had enough of your 'it's over your heads' drivel. I'm not a ringleader, i'm just fed up with your non-stop BS.
If you turned even a tenth of what you say about others inward, you'd never say another word. You have as your signature that to learn you assume you know nothing and go from there... But in your posts you've said there is little or nothing you can learn... from peole here or in workshops. That's SO lame. It's stupifying that you can do that without recognizing the obvious conflict. Nobody in this business knows it all, no one is beyond learning... But no one wants to be 'taught' comically arrogant goofballs either.

Funny thing is, $68,000 won't come close to covering a single year at the universties my son is looking at. He'll get a scholarship but it won't be full ride unless he makes West Point. I could buy Douchle's... I mean Daniel's, truck a few times over but have more important things to save for.

Nice sentiment and one I would happily abide, but Daniel made this personal and keeps making it personal. I have no qualms about making a bonfire out of his fatazz ego... Call it a guilty pleasure if you want.
I'll admit it must be disgusting to read along, we're all the way in the gutter here but it's sport at this point.

Forums do very often degenerate into this kind of 'sport' but even allowing for that this is so well below mediocre its painful.
Rather like watching a drag line working in mangrove mud, you keep watching because you think anytime soon something really interesting will be pulled up...but that bucket keeps ciming back full of foul smelling mud.
Sure this a forum and not mangrove swamp, and this is just one thread...but the environment for open exchange here is damaged by this garbage, if it doesn't bother other members fine, in the end the forum will be what members want it to be (I've certainly learnt that over the past few years!) its just a shame IMO thats all.

I started this thread so i should be able to finish this thread.
I feel bad for calling daniel a wanker,it feels childish.
But it reminded me when i used to get teased in year 3 at primary school when i had glasses,a teeth plate and hearing aids(they called me the bionic boy-actualy makes me laugh out loud now).
Anyways, used to get in lots of fights until one day a nice little teacher gave me the advice to ignore those kids with the big mouths as im just fuelling there fun.
I took her advice and lived happily ever after.
Moral to the story.........
Ignore wankers!

You are delussional Chip, if you think I started making this personal.. Re-read the thread.. you made it personal by attacking my person, when I had been providing a logical argument with a lot of practical and correct information about the pros of the technique.. That is indeed the result of pearls to swine.. read your Bible!
