Man. No offense but you are a terrible two kniver. First of all if your going to make a video out in the trees you have to know a bit of information, The tree you said might have had soil deficency problems could be correct if others around also were poor. I'm 90% that tree was a replant and planted by hand the year after a planter came though. The tree you tightented up was way to tight. You need to only knick lateral buds and take leader down to lowest bud, that is if you ever want it to grow.
Yup. Asking for the hospital and nice bill to go with it. Also, swinging with no leg guards you leave the skirts sloppy, like Trent did here. Lastly, it seems your knives must be very dull if you have to pull from the opposite side of your body for enough power to get through some wimpy frasers. Looks like a lot of wasted energy to me. Im pretty sure I'd whip your ass in a race with better quality to boot!
This tutorial is terribly irresponsible! Knives should never be used without leg guards and using 2 at once more than doubles the danger. It is impossible to trim 900K a year without leg protection...regardless of how careful you are. One glancing swing off a stout branch will send the knife into your knee. I have the chaps to prove their worth. We now use rotary pruners and even those can be dangerous. This young woman could have been seriously injured learning in this way!
Your farm is NOT healthy, AND you put a beginner in a weed infested field with two knives and no leg guard or boots???? You should go back to Mc Donalds to work. I been shearing trees for 30 years and I have never seen such a rediculas job.

Thanks for the tips. Think I'll stick with secateurs though.
