I work in the Madison area for a very professional tree care company. I have seen these guys around before and I just shake my head. I honestly think there is no excuse for at least not wearing a hard hat. If I did even a quarter of the things they did in that video I would be out of a job. Luckily there are many great tree companies in Madison that do things right. Btw this is all coming from a 23 yr old, just cus your young doesn't mean you have to be dumb... Oh and we are hiring, wouldn't mind having that ground man cus I shake my head way too much at the one I have now...
I just read one of your posts about being injured off-site, OUCH!, although I did think of a better nickname for you here, Halfsac, reminded me of the SOAnarchy character. (I'm not trying to be mean, hell it's the truth! and funny as well) Honestly you might look into a sperm bank just incase you want children.
Haha if only you were the first to call me that! Luckily for me I have a wonderful 9 month old boy but would like to have more. And ya that did hurt quite a bit. I did go into work that Monday morning and took down a maple though (bucket). Maybe I am a little young and dumb sometimes Haha but I can half blame that on my wife for making me wait to go to the doctor!

If I wake up . . . it's a good day.
On that second video at the 3:51 mark the cut ends up jerking the saw out of his hands and bending the bar. The only good thing is he didn't have the saw attached to him that low down!
Both videos didn't show patience and respect for the dangers involved, and am I the only one that saw all the debris on the roof? Seems to me if I'm the homeowner and I saw this video I'm calling my insurance company to send someone out to appraise for a new roof.
Lemme see, what's that saying? "There's old climbers and bold climbers, but no old bold climbers."

Think I'll call this cowboy and invite him to the thread.

I think many of us saw the debris, however; that could be determined to be negligence by the home owner imo. Waiting two years to cut a dead tree is sorta looking for trouble!

Those lines have a ripple effect for ages, its very surprising how long they will ripple for down the line.

I'm surprised he didn't drop the wires off the pole and drop the whole tree. That tree should be 5,000 with a crane but they probably did it for 2,500-2,800.

I hate dead cotton wood, or even drought die back tops. I have had that happen on blocking palms down too, last one I cut a cerf for the rope to cinch in.

I've only been climbing a couple months and have yet to get to do a removal on spikes but I'll play the game.
Tennies vs spikes/boots, I never saw a buck strap, no termination knot at the end of his climbing line, almost smoked the house a few times because he didn't rig anything, he was cutting awfully close to his opposite hand when using that hand saw. Wouldn't catch me doing that I like all my fingers to be in good shape and hand saw cuts suck. And that's not mentioning free climbing to set his line higher. :msp_scared:
Looks like he tied his hitch right at least..
Edit: I forgot I was in the commercial climbing section rather than newbie section. My apologies.
