I hope everyone appreciates the cameraman, the quality is impressive considering the fact he was sitting on a portable mechanical bull when he captured this pristine video
This is some definition of "blows up" that I was previously unaware of. I didn't know just falling on the ground is blowing up. And the cameraman continuing to do his job during an epileptic seizure is to be commended.
I didn't think it blew up. Looks to me like it just broke up when it hit the ground because it was so dead and dry. And the chunks of limbs bounced around.
The 1930's sounding truck idling for no reason while operating an electric over hydraulic winch is bona-fide arborist. I do like how the tree skipped the wood chipper stage all on its own. Now they got enough spare wood to make a tripod! Teamwork
Wow! It doesn't really blow up, it disintegrated, lol, at least the top did. It would have been cool to see what the trunk looked like. That was a HUGE very TALL tree. So glad it didn't sway on his house. 😊 "Isa"
I appreciated your video. A dead tree is just that very expensive if it lands on your house. Thanks for showing us the smart way to explode one dead tree before $7500 later worth of dead trees fall on your house. 👍😣
“Y’all gonna saw ‘er down, chop ‘er down, pull ‘er down, or blow ‘er up, BillyWade?” “Well I s’pose all none of them ideas at once, BobbyJedd. Go gitcher camera and I’ll figure out what we’re gonna did when we watch ‘er on playback.”
Thanks for the sane comment that is on course with the subject matter. I can’t get why everyone seems to be gripped with the shaking camera syndrome in this video. I mean a comment or two but it goes on and on and on 😢
I came to the comments to see all the loggers yell at each other about the proper way to tell a tree. The cameraman is the first person to ever stop that from happening.
Lol.... I'm not going to yell at anyone, but... his wedge cut isn't deep enough, and his back cut is to low. Should have been an inch or so above the flat part of his wedge cut. Good on the guy pulling to not let off and allow slack. Other than that it was a fairly straight tree, so things worked out. Oh and props to the cameraman😂
We had this done to a dead red pine that's was about 10 feet from our house and leaning HARD towards it. My MILs boyfriend at the time came out and did this exact thing with his truck. That was 2 years ago and we're still finding pieces of that tree all over the back yard.
That brings back memories! My late father was a logger and took me along to help many times. Funniest thing that ever happened, the town we lived in hired him to cut some trees down so they could make a soccer field. As usual, I was his assistant that day. After getting the trees cut down, he was bent over cutting the logs into manageable chunks when the elastic in his underwear broke so of course, every time he bent over, they would fall down his legs inside his pants. After several times of this, he finally got annoyed and pulled out his pocket knife and proceeded to pull up each side above his hips to cut them so he could pull his underwear out. He threw them as far as he could and went back to sawing the logs. Upon getting home and telling my Mom about it, she said, “Can you imagine what the person who comes across those size 44 fruit of the looms will think?” 🤣🤣🤣
@@allaboutroofing2bark looks like a softwood and I’ve seen pines that when they start to age out they branch up like that. Still waiting for the exploding tree though. I just saw some branches break.
I mean, I'm not sure how else exactly you're supposed to saw it. Also I mean, he was standing away from where the tree was going to fall... I mean, unless I'm missing something it looks like he's doing everything you're supposed to.
Because it is dead. Says it literally in the title of the video. Believe it or not, pine trees *do* lose their needles when they die. The trunk is a giveaway that it's a pine.
@@leaf2180 The Branches are the wrong shape for pine, and the bark looks closer to Oak or Cottonwood. No one claimed that pine trees don't lose their needles when they die, but people have been around long enough to tell the difference between a Pine tree and something else. Also the title of the video was typed up by a person, Just becouse it says something in the title, doesn't make it any more or less true then anything else.
Anytime you see a rope tied to a tree, you can be sure they have no idea whats going on. There is never a need to tie a rope to a tree. Its unnecessarily dangerous and in no way directs the trees fall.
this could be a safety film disaster no safety gear whatso ever pounding those wedges alone could have sent a widow maker on his head with a tree this dead
I'm impressed that the picture is so clear, considering that the cameraman is strapped into an operating electric chair while soaking wet. And naked--for some reason he's naked.
