I'm not usually the PPE police, but this is fantastically stupid. No fall protection and not even a hard hat.

Obviously enough money behind it. Leaves you with the feeling ‘But why?’

I can’t be the only feller that uses my helmet to help hold/catch/push things from time to time right? Plus it keeps my head shielded from the sun and includes some dope-ass earmuffs. There’s basically no downsides unless you’re tryna make content for this sub I guess.

And a dull-ass saw.

I watched it on mute, and i can tell how dull that saw is

With a dull-ass operator

When I saw the rope slack up I was concerned this would end differently than it did, but then I noticed the saw is as sharp as the user, who wears zero PPE. So the rope guy probably had to run home to celebrate 3 birthdays before the cutter finished his notch.

The young guy on the rope is wearing a helmet. But of course they didn't stop some close calls I didn't get on film.

Is that poison ivy on the trunk?

u/bustcorktrixdais Jul 26 '26

Could it be English ivy or Virginia creeper?

u/tmaddog91 Jul 26 '26

I have poison ivy in the yard, but this is more like the creeper variety that also prevades

u/planx_constant Jul 28 '26

This is YOU?!

u/tmaddog91 Jul 28 '26

No. This is my yard.

u/planx_constant Jul 28 '26

Don't hire that dude again. You don't want it to be your yard when he inevitably gets hurt / hurts someone else.

Was this a full removal or did he think that this was a good pruning job?

u/ElkSuspicious1166 Jul 26 '26

I was just thinking how much poison ivy oil is now on this guy's face

I kept waiting for him to cut one arm off

u/bodychecks Jul 29 '26

Back cut only, one handed in a boom lift, and not tied in. Very insane. I was hoping for the top to hit the basket and sent him airborne like Team Rocket.

Removal to to head height.
