That tree looks like it was full of the dry chemical used in fire ex. if so you couldn't get me with in 3 miles of that tree
What makes it such a "GREAT TREE FELLING" video except for the pollen it is just a tree coming down. The pollen explosion is coool.
Ralph
Gotta admit Ralph, that was one huge load of pollen.
A similar pollen cloud was emitted from a large fir tree across the street from my childhood home during the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 and settled on the yard and neighbors car.
If that was pollen I don't want any of those trees around. Probably raised the city atmospheric pollen count into the oshatometer range for the day.
I sure that was pollen I bet any of my cedar trees would do that.
Ralph
Is that why the meteorologist are always saying something about the mountain cedar in their pollen reports.Quote:

That's really the atmospheric residue from the meth lab next door=will have to fall the house also.
The tree blew its last wad all over everything as one big last FU!
Oh Lord can aany one get may a tssue??
What's fascinating about this one is how the woman wasn't hurt by a falling limb, chainsaw, or ladder.

Apparently the chainsaw was not running or stopped when idle, otherwise she would have lost at least a arm.
Ralph
It's OK luv, I've got everything under control! It hit her in the torso so she would have been worse than (h) armless. hope her retreat was successful.
Who was on the other extender ladder? superman or spiderman.
There is no way she escaped completely unscathed, she had some scratches and bruises for sure.Quote:

Risky felling but his praising the tree god was well warrantedQuote:

IF ONE OF THOSE WEDGES WERE OUT A FEW MILLIMETRES HE WOULD HAVE HAD A WEDGIE or a boot somewhere the sun dont shine.
He missed the building on the right by not much more than the thickness of the bark. Incredible skill when you consider that even a light cross breeze could have been a disaster.
A funny way to drive in fence posts....
I've seen a lot of trees go down by some very experienced people, trees that size will roll very often on the way down. I think that's why he dropped to his knees after. The aim can be perfect but if you get even a little roll off on the way down it could be off by a few feet or more. This guy knew what he was doing!
Oh, for heavens' sake. Keep seeing political hate garbage from the odd member. Unwelcome, and disappointing.Quote:

Of course, air should be still, or be gentle in the intended direction. Some luck wouldn't hurt. GIF gives no detail. I'd like to read a report on the strategy in this case.
I first saw this video several years ago, I am pretty sure there was info out there back then, should still be if you dig.Quote:

Did he just hanged himself?
It looked like his "safety belt wrapped around his neck.
He did not look like a survivor. Palm looks like a canariensis. may be he's in Phoenix poor bugger. He was safe from and not concerned of those killer spines of petioles . The sharp lumps left after fronds has fallen would have given him serious injury after being thumped into them. Seems we are cruel to ourselves when we destroy nature.
Nothing like beating yourself to death!
Saved by the safety strap.

strike him lucky and pink.
Yet another near-victim of invisible power lines.
They had a winch line slung over the opposite limb and hooked to the one he was cutting hoping cause it to be pulled away from what ever was below and to lower it safely to the ground. A slight miscalculation in the strength of the limb versus the build up of kinetic energy from the falling weight of the cut off limb very nearly ended in total disaster for the guy, aside from having a strong safety strap, dropping his chain saw may have been the smartest thing he had done to that point and that was involuntary I am sureQuote:

Possibly not as well as the 27" television I have hooked to mine as a duel monitor so I can be working on multiple tasks at the same time and see what is happening on the other screenQuote:
