Although it is difficult to see in the video, I am actually using 3 safety rope, one to catch and lower the tree and two other ropes to secure myself to two other trees. So if the tree I was climbing snapped, there is no way I would fall, I might get cut in half by my lanyard, but no way I would fall.

My wife was filming. She is no help at all when it come to this kind of work.

YEAH, YOU CAN TELL HE IS NO PRO.........

[grimrodent]

You pros must hate it that I proved that almost anyone can do this kind of work if they really try. I was 58 when I did that.

[grimrodent]

There are houses down below, one on each side and a tool shed and a small barn. The tree swing out directly over one of the houses. Without the rope there would be a BIG smash.

you do this for a living and thats the way you decided to complete the job?

its amazing your still alive.

[grimrodent]

I don't do this for a living. Just whacking some trees in my yard because the pros wanted way too much money.

No hooks, no help, no boots, no sense.

@grimrodent I'm a 58 year old pro, and I can see you were placing yourself in great danger to cut as much of the top as you did. Haven't you seen the film where the guy gets slammed around after trying to rope down the huge top, and his groundman doesn't know how to let the rope slide so it doesn't almost kill the climber?

good job not to bad for a old man

[anotherkilleralias]

You idiot. You are so lucky you didn't kill yourself doing that, you were putting WAY TOO MUCH shockload on the stem you were roped into, one small cavity or weakness and it could easily have snapped, sending you smashing into the ground. Honestly, the reason we charge a lot for this work is because it's DANGEROUS, and there are more variables to it that you can sensibly pick up just from reading about it. There is NO SUBSTITUTE for experience, you were lucky this time!

@grimrodent your an idiot dude

[Neelo1]

I am actually amazed watching this video that you are still alive. Firstly, are you an absolute idiot? I had to watch three or four times to actually believe what i was seeing, You are infact wearing jeans and sneakers?! Minus the hard hat, you have absolutely no PPE. Im digusted, plus your technique is horrific. It's clowns like you that give real tree men like myself a bad rap....we go through years of training to perfect our work and a clown like you puts his life in danger to save a few $

@spacemite WELL, FOR AN OLD MAN , IT IS EXTREME HAHAHA

[tomcat624u]

@grimrodent GOOD FOR YOU........... BUT EVERYONE CAN NOT DO THAT KINDA OF WORK.....IT IS A SPECIAL SKILL THAT REQUIRES MONTHS OF TRAINING... I USED TO WORK FOR A POWER COMPANY TRIMMING LIMBS OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. THATS WAS WHEN I WAS LIKE, 22 HAHAHAHAHA I'M 49 NOW . ONLY EXPERTS NEED TO BE TAKING DOWN TREES OVER HOUSES AN STUFF BECAUSE, WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING, THEY COULD MAKE A BIG MESS HAHAHA
