It's that time of year again! Tree cutting tips from pros ..

Seriously, its the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. He should've used some detcord and cut himself a larger tree.

Still kind of funny, cutting a tree down with a shotgun.

Hell SMITTY, in Freetown, that's the ONLY way to do it. That was funny

A shotgun with a bayonet?

Well sure franco b. For up close & personal.

At about 2:30 he cuts down a much bigger tree.

This was not filmed in Mass.

Often times I get the tree into the living room and find I need to take a few inches off the bottom. Thanks for the tip, the shotgun approach looks far easier than my bow saw.

Certainly saves time.

Yeah ... nothing fun is filmed in MA. They have laws against that here ...

Tree Cutting tips....
I know its not an Evergreen, but a neighbor of mine up the street just killed himself, cutting the lower branches off an Oak tree in his yard. He would climb up a ladder, cut the big branches slowly with his chainsaw, just enough so they would 'bend' to the ground, but he wouldn't cut them all the way thru. Then he would go down the ladder, tie a chain to the branch, and pull it off the tree with his tractor.
Well, the last branch he did this to, went fine, until he started shackling the chain to it. It released from the tree by itsself while he was still chaining it up, and it fell on him before he could get out of the way. Nobody came around for 3 hours. Many family members drove by his tractor, but didn't stop to look for him I think the mailman found him.

Aw man what a shitty way to go. That sucks.
