Who is this guy? Doesn't he have anything else better to do than to get someone killed?

[HereticSinner666]

if you need a pully system attached to your skidder chains, to fell a tree. Put your saw down, and quit. you stuttered like a mother fucker. ''Make sure you saw is full off gas.'' no shit, your supposed to gas and oil your saw before you head out anyway. and you forgot to mention sharpening your saw. cant fell with a dull saw.

This guy is an idiot in this video! Oddly enough, he is an idiot in every other video he has out as well. He should have an office job on the ground floor somewhere because i could totally picture him falling out a window. Do not listen to anything he says...EVER!!!
