    Right where I want to be.
    Yep, that's been posted, but still cool.
    Heck, if that was me, it would hit the house, bounce off and kill the shed. That would be after it kicked off the stump sideways taking out the power pole.:D

    I hadn't seen that one. Loved it when he got on his knees in front of the camera. :)

    That was definitely video worthy. I wouldn't believe it if someone just told me.

    Very cool. Especially like the credits: "god of the laws of physics". Looks like there were only a few inches clearance either side.

    My buddy Spencer dropped a tree in a spot about that tight years ago.

    Was a pine tree 90-100ft tall and leaning well over his camp at the lake. Bad enough that we were there one night when it was windy and decided to sleep out in the cars just in case it came down!

    No one thought it could be dropped without crushing the camp... enough to the point that word spread he was dropping it and there was a crowd of people to watch.
    He dropped it off to the side of the camp and between the camp and the garage. Not even a single branch touched either building. I still haven't figured out how he did it!


    Me... yeah... not so much.

    Couple years ago a birch had broke and was leaning toward my shed. I decided to cut it before it fell in a windstorm.
    Yeah... dropped it right on the shed and ripped the gutter off. With my neighbor watching :emb:

    That limb looks huge and heavy. What is your game plan to take it down?

    Is there a decent way to whittle it off a little at a time with ropes letting the first sections down? Used to love doing stuff like that when I was younger... now... slow, fat & numb... not so much... :whistle:

    That drop was impressive.
    I normally need 40' clearance in all directions for a 30' tree. ;)
