    A chainsaw in the wrong hands is dangerous. One tree took out a garage, boat, pickup, car, plus the contents of the garage. Tree cutting gone wrong (2).jpg

    I’m wondering which direction they hoped to go with it? Maybe to the left. Watched a couple of buckin b ray videos good to go.

    Hey watch it! I learned a lot from him, like safety gear is optional etc. :hair:
    In a twisted sort of way I wanna see a u tube vid of the tree cutting expedition. I can't understand what their plan was from the pic. Looks like climbing or bucket work to me.

    They started cutting that tree months ago. It looked like the saw they had at first didn't have a bar long enough to cut all the way thru the tree so they girdled it without a notch and tried to pull it down with a rope. The tall tree in this picture is girdled with a notch started but still standing. These trees are on a city lot. Tall tree.jpg

    So who is they? City crew, or just somebody with a saw?

    It appears to be a landlord cutting trees at a rental property.
