Bored? Let’s cut down this sketchy tree

Have you ever seen a skilled arborist skillfully drop a tree exactly where they want it? This is not that. Today, we'll do our best to remove a hazardous tree safely and effectively, without all the skill. With a rope, an electric chainsaw, a UTV, and some GoPro cameras, we'll do something productive and have a little fun. Enjoy!

I swear on my life if you were to make toast I would still be fascinated. Edit: Seth you should make a tree house in your back yard. It would be so cool to read a book or something and then open the door and ride down a ramp, or you could hit a drop and you could call it the Oscar drop. And the whole Oscar drop idea isn’t mine.

[@avocette]

I'd love it if seth does a shirt that says "today we’re gonna do something different" on the front and "although... kinda the same" at the back

[@askbeforeplaying2983]

It has been.

[@dahak972]

“If it dies, it dies”, he said with an intensity that belied his cool, collective manner. It was a deep seated intensity that came from a place deep down inside. You just know that camera did him wrong in the past.

[@tjbarke6086]

"Cool, collected", manner. Not collective. Because I'm pretty sure Seth is more of an individualist anarchist, than anarcho communist. Although... there is a sort of MTB collective thing goin' on...

[@josyphmcilroy3389]

Hey seth, I'm a professional arborist in New Zealand, and what I would have used was a fiddle block to pull the tree over because of the back lean, and no your hinge is not good, your scaf is your direction, yourhinge is your steering which you had no hinge so you really had no control, and your back cut is your release and your control, but for a homeowner it's better than what I've seen been done on other youtube channels, congrats on not destroying anything, mainly because it was dead my main concern when you were doing your back-cut is that when you put tension on the tree with the gator was a barber chair happening, which is dangerous and deadly, anyways keep making your great videos, I watch every one you release after work👍

[@RumfordSledhead]

really good point about barber chair, it looked to me like he had no hinge on the smaller stump left but some holding wood on the bigger one further in the woods.

[@RumfordSledhead]

Also never heard of a "Scaf?"

[@brock6286]

my dad was a bush man for 44 years and i showed him this and he was laughing throughout the whole video, and thatch nice to see since he has not had a proper laugh or smile in a very long time, keep up the great work seth!!

[@moritzoeconomicus]

Alex: "safety first" also Alex: *barefoot*

[@lakesidelaunchers4307]

Who would have thought watching someone cut a tree would be interesting

[@notatoad]

I wouldn't have until I found August hunicke's channel a couple weeks ago. Apparently tree felling is a whole KZbin genre, and it's pretty great.

[@Android480]

The arborist KZbin channels are actually fantastic content. You’ve got men hanging by ropes 80+ feet in the air with a chainsaw strapped to their waist, talking off 500 pound logs one at a time. There’s a ton of thought that goes into making sure each log falls in just the right place, roping up the logs so that they fall in a certain direction and don’t take out any of the tree climbers in the process. Fantastic stuff.

[@MattClippers]

@Javier Estrella its the way he edits his videos

[@benboquet7436]

This is pretty lame in the "tree cutting" department

[@robgoffroad]

After watching videos for the past couple of years, I've concluded that the key to a successful channel is being LIKEABLE. The content itself is secondary. Now, it helps to get rolling faster if you have good content to start with, but once you're comfortable on camera and can be yourself and be likeable, you will succeed. Seth is amazing proof of this. A few other channels worth mentioning for the same reasons: Matt's Off-Road Recovery, Fab Rats, Trail Mater and Robby Layton Nation.

[@23mattFrost]

As a tree surgeon myself you’ve done a pretty decent job at taking down that tree Seth!!👏🏼

[@Jake_IBS]

Great video, especially being certified in ladder safety. Look into a Ladder strap/cinch for stability, 3 points of contact at all times, and when you're up high keep your sternum inside the width of the ladder when leaning side to side

[@SmokeytheBeer]

As a professional tree climber, don't listen to this ^^ person about safety. That being said, as a "Don't Do What I Do" video it was entertaining.

[@willjaeger6776]

I like how both channels relate to each other but then again have different themed videos. Keep it up!

[@TUFF93ryley]

Literally one of the safest videos I’ve ever seen on the internet on someone cutting down a tree. Even better than most people who say they know how to cut down a tree haha. Your hinge is sort of fine, maybe a smaller wedge cut out because it’s a dead tree is all.

[@iangoulding1420]

A pump track along the side of the gravel road would be so sick

[@montanawhite5699]

As a guy who was training to be an arborist you did great. Wore safety gear, rigged the tree, and had it fall where you wanted. What more could you ask for? Most amateurs would of just started cutting, and have that tree fall over half way leaning on other trees, always posing as a threat.
