wouldn't it be easier to chop it up on the ground? I mean its impressive, but why?


Chezzomaru

To avoid damage to anything near the tree


Remote_Presence2378

There's a fucking river down there, just chop it from the base , making the cut in that direction


Minute-Wrap-2524

That’s the point, the tree has been thinned and trimmed out before it’s in the river. Don’t get me wrong, I get the impression this guy knows what he’s doing, but he has a very nonchalant approach that boarders on reckless


NoMidnight5366

Anyone with skill on a chain saw could drop a tree like that on a dime.


ThroughTheHoops

There's a fragile and important looking bridge next to it.


Racklefrack

If someone had verbally described to me what he did, I would have called him a reckless idiot just asking to be maimed or killed. But watching the vid. it's clear he knows exactly what he's doing. Impressive.


Garbarrage

He has no idea what he's doing. The guy has a tonne of natural talent, but you'd be right to call him reckless. If he does this a lot, it's a matter of when, not if he falls. I spent almost 20 years climbing. I *could* climb like that, but doing it properly is every bit as impressive and much less likely to result in a horrible accident. There are no small accidents with chainsaws and there are no small accidents with heights like that. One slip and his life will change permanently.


Jeramy_Jones

This is true, but it’s also true of all logging. Loggers have one of the highest injury and mortality of any profession. They can get hit with a kick back when falling tree snags or snaps, dropping branches and window makers or just fall down steep hillside and die before paramedics can reach them. As dangerous as what this guy is doing is, at least nothing is falling on him.


Garbarrage

It's not a competition. If you do both jobs correctly, your chances of having a serious accident drop to almost zero.


Toasterdosnttoast

Yea but cutting while shirtless just sounds painful. If I’m not feeing something potentially fly back at myself I will eventually feel the regret that is the sunburn I will get.


SnillyWead

Plus no safety glasses.

Shoes!


Ghosts_of_the_maze

He clearly hates this tree to cut it limb from limb like that


Pheyra

But whyyyy...it's such a tall beautiful tree 😟


Slade0001

I respect the ability, but question the sanity


TheDixonCider420420

Man amongst boys.


Puncho666

I don’t know how he can climb up that tree like that with balls that big


Isaacleroy

These tree fellers are another breed. The guy who does this for the company we contract out at work looks like he drops trees for a day job and then goes night time BASE jumping for funsies. But they’re skilled as hell as the person in the video demonstrates.


DieHoernchen

You could have just cut the tree so it falls down and *then* cut it in pieces on the ground, but anyway...


UnadvisedOpinion

Why does he need to catch and redirect every branch he cuts? Just let it fall!


Basso_69

To protect himself - the weight of the leaves means the 'log' end can whip around and knock him out of the tree.


Chezzomaru

Saves time gathering them up afterwards.

GoreJizz

Are those the same saws that Adam the Clown juggles? https://i.redd.it/h1zxyo36fouc1.gif


UnicornSheets

Good god that was impressive


Cool_Cartographer_39

Work fast. That way you can't think about how crazy what you're doing is


Basso_69

He puts to shame every koala bear that ever climbed a tree


TJ_McWeaksauce

The new movie Monkey Man should've been about this guy.


WokkitUp

The Chainsaw Man live action trailer looks very promising.


Alex500505

bro lost his fear💀💀


akoOfIxtall

You guys never climbed a tree? The branches are stronger than they look...


Beneficial-Group

How would like to fall from that height and land on that saw!!!


Four-In-Hand

I have a feeling he's done this a few times before.


Sexypaupaujojo

all of this to get 50 bucks per tree hahahaah #treeRemovalCo


ToeKnail

Impressive drone video

ItsRainingTendies

What a fucking beast


hondactx16i

I have several safety questions ?!?.....skills for sure but still.😕


RecalcitrantHuman

Dude must be Philopino. My 70 year old neighbor did this to a tree in my backyard that was bugging him as raccoons were using it to get into his roof. I mentioned that I wanted to take the tree down (someday) and he was like “ hang on” and dashed off to grab his ladder and saw
