Beware Expert Village Idiot Drew George Finn| Dangerous Felling Practices
Beware Expert Village
Dangerous and illegal practices are being shown as "expert" ways of doing things. This is SHOCKING stuff and other fools are watching and believing!
Inspired from two sources here.
Why angled back cuts are dangerous
Angled back cut| backcut| tree felling| back cuts
We were put onto a series of videos by Drew Finn of some seriously poor practices. He thinks coz he's some desk jockey engineer and back yard wood lot tree faller he is qualified to spin his bullshit around the net. Viewers are buying the bullshit too!
Here is the whole series of videos to "safe" "proper" tree felling.
This is not a joke but a serious threat from a HACK! An idiot passing himself off as an expert, in a field he knows little about.
You'll see some real shoody stuff in the list of "expert" videos. see for yourself, here's the list. Below the list is some pics I pulled.
