  • my god what an idiot,do not listen to him

  • DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM ! read all the comments first and see,all his other videos are just as bad or worst and I cant believe that after over 2 years of neg.commets nobody or HIMSELF has taken all his "how to kill yourself" videos off youtube, I have been flaging all his videos that's how bad they are.

  • There is no possible way, in concievable shit hell, that this tree wants to fall where he says ,because of that dumb cut he demonstrates.

  • what the fu........???he is an idiot....dont try this at home.....notes how he removes the peece of wood in the start of the clip....no break on the chain or enything....its not easy to do the dishes whit only 8 fingers.....

  • first big mistake the notch is about 45 degrees which is to small it need to be about 70 degree opening and like most of you have said helmet and face mask are the min safety things required before you even start expert idiot more like
