Here is one of him knocking down a tree close to a house. He has better
climbing ones but this one has his 70+ year old Mom singing the blues,
with him on drums, Harp and singing, and so on. The vids that show him
knocking off the limbs as he climbs are really cool.

I haven't watched he whole thing yet, but something caught my eye at 2:00.

He drops a section as 2 other guys on the ground aren't even watching. The
section drops what? 10, maybe 15' behind them. I guess you build up a lot
of trust over time.

He's not into OSHA. None of his 1000+ video's have constant mandatory
safety warnings like: always wear helmet, glasses, steel gloves,
earmuffs, steel pants, don't put your hand on whirling blades, don't
drop trees on pedestrians, on ad infinitum. That's one of the things I
like about him, not controlled by American Bar Association, or whomever
is responsible for turning American men into buffoons.

No OSHA reg or suit from the ABA is going to prevent one of those guys
from walking in the wrong direction. Common sense says that people on the
ground should be looking out for themselves as much as the guy dropping the
tree.

Heck, all it would take is a nest of bees in one of the cut offs to get
one of the grounders running into the path of a falling section. I would
think that *they* would be paying closer attention to what is going on
above them.

He usually
doesn't endanger guys working with him, usually a young dude and his son.

The definition of "endanger" comes in many shapes and sizes.
