Default Paul Nosak Raw - USA's Tree Work Ambassador?

Well, I have been looking through the 4 videos but certainly not the TV shows as I am here in Australia.

Has anyone seen any of them TV shows?

For the other viewers here's the YouTube Video's ... I picked the 3 out of the 4 worth watching.

This one is the Raw video.
YouTube - Nosak Raw

This one here is them craning and the climber has to evac coz slings were loosening or some BS. Climber was told to cut straight through too but the saw got jammed.
YouTube - Tree Whipping

And this one is some attitude and friction, pay attention to the craning again. Paul on the crane asked for a double sling to bring the piece out what I call "elnatural", in other words spider slinged at top and bottom so it doesn't swing, you see this in videos around this place. But watch the boom and the swing on the log.
YouTube - tention

The guys website is here and a video runs in the first page so for those of you with slower connections you just need to be patient. In that video you'll see him drop start the saw and hold it near his head revving it as he shows off.
Nosak Raw -- Tulsa’s Only Reality-Based TV Show

Certainly I lost count of PPE breaches and poor work methods, compared to the craning videos we see from the guys around here and the professionalism I'm a little shocked.

This guy could be setting tree work attitude back to the 70's, lordy help you if you break a $7 something on the job site too.

He's saving you from the deadliest vegetation on the planet ... trees.
