    We all enjoyed that guy "carefully" using his ladder to top a tree. Well, his "brother" don't need no stink in' ladder… :headbang: (He claimed the tree "just missed me" when he landed on his back.)

    A "Teachable Moment"

    I think that video would have been a lot shorter if he learned how to sharpen his chain.

    Did anyone else seem to think it took a long time to back that back cut? The log wasn't that big and it was over a minute before he turned the saw off. I think I'll refrain from any further comments on the situation.

    Looks like you beat me to it by about as long as it took to make that back cut. ;)

    I am surprised he didn't fall earlier! Like when he finished off a jug of hooch before he got up in the tree!:)

    For humanity's sake I hope he's sterile. ;) Best thing he could do is put down that saw before he kills himself or someone else,then sell it.Use the money to hire someone who knows what they're doing.
