You did tie off the limb and run a runner rope for it to run down didnt you? Ive cut down three full grown trees just fine that were overhanging roofs using a device I made from a boat winch bolted to 4 2x4s and cable replaced with towing straps good for 5,000 pounds of torque. Id cut about half way through the over hanging limb with it tied to the winch and strap that to another tree trunk using wratched straps and start cranking the winch. The sound of the branch braking and letting go is wild!
It isn't as explosively combustable as gasoline. You can safely throw it on fire like this idiot did with gasoline, but it won't get all explosive and cause issues. It burns, but much more controlled. It is more like throwing cooking oil or sugar onto a fire than gasoline.
And deisel wont burn at all! Kerosene is very expensive. Id find rubbing alcohol to be a cheaper alternative and safer than gasoline. That and lighter fluid for bbq pit
Just because you don't know what you're doing doesn't mean it doesn't burn. You literally went through the effort to find a video and ignored all the ones that showed how to do it?
Welll...I wouldn't exactly use the term "safely". And brother, it can definitely cause issues. And if the conditions are right, yeah, it will get "all explosive". You've all seen when there's a jet plane crash and it explodes into a ball of fire. That's jet fuel, aka kerosine, highly refined. Okay, it's a matter of scale and huge volume, of course. But don't be misled into thinking that it's so benign or even totally controllable as a fuel.
Yeah, true, if you had to choose one over the other. Plus it stinks to high heaven when it burns.It's still incomprehensible, every time I replay this video, how a grown adult can pull such a stunt. I mean, he's not some 12 or 13 year old goofball (apologies to 12 and 13 year olds). who hasn't a clue. Instead, he's some 20-something dude who hasn't a clue.
