Building Off The Grid (TV show)

[BDinPutnam]

I watch very little television beyond the Weather Channel and Ancient Aliens.

Just started watching it and this jackass in Maine is felling a 20-24" inch tree by flat cutting at the very base from the back almost 90% of the way thru and then cutting out a wedge in the front (felling direction)?

I hope when they come back from commercial there are some serious "don't try this at home" warnings.

ETA: nope.

This might be why I stick to what I stick to.

I've seen that show a bit. Makes me want to pack it in and move to the middle of Alaska while I still have enough youth to do it. Talk is cheap, though

Well do me a favor, if you do- don't barber chair yourself with a 40' oak tree!

OR ask me to come over and help you get your trapped saw out of a stovepipe.

2 problems-most people won’t notice he is doing anything wrong or dangerous. And some people may actually try to drop a tree the same way. Guy is lucky he didn’t hurt himself or anyone else.
