How NOT to cut down a rotten tree

[NoAngel2u]

I felled 7 large trees out at my place today. I had to leave several that pose really huge risks to structures, but I just was not comfortable taking them down by myself. Got back to my mothers for dinner and pulled up youtube to see if I could find some helpful videos that might address the difficulties I'm facing with those 3, and came across this video. I laughed till I cried. Enjoy!

I do understand the difficutly with that tree. One of the trees I took down yesterday was hollow. They was the scariest one I took down, but it went right where I wanted it, and it had about a 60 percent lean to it. I needed it to fall about 5 feet further to the left of it's lean, so it wouldn't crush a tree Mike and I planted some years ago. I wooted over that one.

yea the one in the clip seemed too big to fell to me, especially if you didn't have a clear place where you knew you could make it go.


I hope you are not felling 2-3ft diameter trees Noangel........sometimes you have to hire pros or rent a lift that can safely go high enough to take it down in pieces

I think the biggest was about a 1.5 foot. You just keep your sweet man worry to yourself mister. I have 3 for sure I'm calling the guy with the bucket truck to take out,, but 2 others that I'm really feeling challenged to take out myself. I think I can, I think I can....

They are 60-70 foot. The 3 I know for sure I'm not doing just have no clear place to bring them down, and I do NOT want to deal with a tree hung up in another tree.
