And you know there will be numbskulls who will take him up on it, too. Wouldn't mind watching that operation go down-- from a good safe distance.

We need to get the AFV crew there ahead of time to record the whole process. They might get a whole episode out of it!

This sounds like a job for James the Narcoleptic Tree cutter....

That's just plain painful to watch. The fact that it was videotaped is doubly painful. I guess we can be glad James is still alive... maybe.

That has to be the funniest video I've seen in a long time.

I doubt there are many people out there who drop trees including us amateurs who havent notched a tree and have something go wrong..... but still, that always gives me a chuckle!

Yes, I often think about the book "Fire On The Rim", the story of a 20 year seasonal firefighter at Grand Canyon. They were very experienced at dropping burning snags in the best direction to avoid spreading the fire. One slow day they were taking down a dead tree in the campground. They carefully planned the cut but the tree had other ideas....it went 180 degrees the other way and came down in the middle of a tent! If those expereinced guys can't do better than that, who am I to hope?
