YouTube can be awesome, the bc caller training standard video playlist is just awesome teaching material. It seems to be a government or insurance company funded video that makes sense. It’s incredibly detailed and is broken into something like a dozen or so parts. But it focuses on technical detail just as much as how this kind of work can kill you detail.
My point being I think if you want to learn how to fell a tree properly, this is where you would start, right?
However we get idiots like this, or other guys on YouTube who look like pro loggers, but there’s no way they are (wranglerstar *cough*). Watching them cut down a tree is just embarrassing.
It makes me angry that people make it look like they are pros but they don’t have a ticket or education in anything and they’re teaching people. People look at YouTube for a source of information and knowledge, I use it for that and as a guideline as to what I’m getting myself into. But when you have people doing one of the most dangerous jobs (felling trees) using one of the most potentially dangerous power tools and they do it all wrong and pass it off as good.. strikes a nerve.
Look at this guy,
I am by no means an expert, but I know enough to see red flags all over the place. In the end they laugh off the experience but in reality he could have been shitting in a bag for the rest of his life, or worse! Coulda destroyed his home, but he seems to have no issue with that....
