Oh my gosh, to scary even to look at

Very creative use of the ladders.

 

Notice the guy clearing brush at the base of the tree?

 

Wonder how that all worked out.

[Nelg]

Man, o man!  I would like to see the pictures of the top of the tree coming down!  Surely the one who took this one would wait and see what happens next!  

[Wiljor]

Gotta admit, the guys got some big chestnuts :-)

[Frogee]

Looks like that the the top of the tree will hit the building below

I wonder if they had to call the fire Dept to get the man out of the tree?

[pluMmet]

Completely safe.. really.

 

Brilliant if you ask me

 

I'm retired phone guy, climbing ladders and poles is my forte lol

 

That fellow has the tops of his ladders lashed to the trees and the upper ladder nestles in a notch he put in that stub.

 

He is wearing his harness and the tree lean is away from him so it's about as good as it gets

[DiveDeepSix]

No way in hades!!! 

[Shabibilicious]

With the tree gone......they'll have to seek lunch break shade elsewhere.    

 

 

GO RV, and NO BV

Having recently taken down a good size tree. That guy would be lucky to be alive? My extension ladder would only go half way. When the top fell the change in weight nearly knocked the ladder off.

[SnowGlobe7]

but it is all balanced in a little bulldozer??????

 

 

ummmm shifting is my major concern

This incident reminds me of an enterprising fellow back home who needed a hedge trimmer....talk about improvisation...

check out the ladder in the bucket. it's miss-matched. How did he get a fiberglass ladder to the notch in the tree?

I wonder if the loader on the ground reached up  far enough up to do it?  (I also use  ladders. Not like that though)!

Not miss hatched at all.. look at the rung holes they all line up.

 

the fiberglass ladder is setting on a notch like in this image

 

 

and like I said the tops of the ladders are lashed to the tree.. the bottom one is lashed by rope the the top by his harness lanyard thru the ladder rungs (like this.)

 

Ever seen one of these?

I would think he would use climbing spikes and a belt.    Or he may end up a  .
