Paul Nosak Raw - USA's Tree Work Ambassador?

Ekka · 9th March 2008, 04:01 AM

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.

I watched a couple of them. Its hard to tell how much is staged and how much is real. Whatever, its difficult take any of it seriously.

I just hope he viewing public share my opinion because most the majority of the workmanship is poor at best. Thankfully, that type of show would never get aired in England.

This guy might also do well with the nosak show, he appears to possess the right theatrical qualities. At first I thought this was funny, now I almost feel sorry for him YouTube - Climbing Otter Tree Service DeLand, FL 386 748-4969

How do you say it, "WANKER"!
If I you are going to place videos online about your company. You would think to make sure they were positive. If I had a 5 million dollar house, and getting tree work done, I would at least google them. Seeing those videos would deffinatley scare me away. Lets have more guys in the trees with four months doing the rigging, spilling some fule or oil on the ground. In one of the most wealthiest neighborhoods, or have the owner just do a couple of wheelies around the block!!! Thanks Paul Nosak -anassfor the USA-

treeseer · 9th March 2008, 04:12 PM

Thanks RC1, I'm going down to Deland FL area later this month, and now know who to avoid hiring as a sub.

That was SO bad technically.

Odder than an otter otta wotter.

Therrin · 9th March 2008, 05:44 PM

That first guy is a complete moron! Running around with that damn saw like some crazed maniac! Looks like some druggie to me.
That wheelie right past a house which was previously mentioned and valued at several million dollars! Freaking crackhead redneck...
I'm not even gonna get started on the craning operation and the stuck saw. Those guys are nucking futs!

The second guy... wow. I guess anyone can cut trees down huh?

Therrin · 9th March 2008, 06:11 PM

YouTube - The Tree Limb Incident

ooooh, even better! H.O. buys a cheapie poulan from "Lowes"... he says, (in a completly lisping voice)
"I was gonna buy an electric, but I heard that they aren't very loud, and besides, this one is gas powered and has good kickback.... I've never used one of these things before.... I've got some lovely accessories for it (then claps his hands) ... "

WTF????

This is the h.o. that everyone is scared to death of...

dannyboysfc · 9th March 2008, 09:36 PM

I think they or you guys call them shirts "wife beaters" or something like that.

It was bad him ragging on his worker saying he'd go toe to toe in the rink with him, that's just so NOT TV!

newguy18 · 9th March 2008, 10:37 PM

Whats wrong with sleeveles shirts?Thats half of my shirts,and yes my neck is red.

That's what my motherinlaw calls em, but the bad thing is, it's her daughter who beats up on me!

They are better than the elbow tan line and sweaty pits that come from t-shirts. I like long sleeves for working, but wtf do clothes have to do with professionalism anyway?

Ekka · 10th March 2008, 04:06 AM

Guy, it's mandatory PPE for chainsaw pants or chaps.

Pretty much mandatory on building sites for long sleeves due to sunburn.

Pretty much mandatory for High Vis.

Then you got these type of guys, T-shirt's, shorts and all sorts of other "what ever was on the floor near where I woke up wear."

Ace Master · 10th March 2008, 05:17 AM

plenty of talking it up, but does any of them know what they are doing, guys like this give the real professionals a bad name (cowboys) they should be supporting each other and working as a team and solving the problems that arise.I 've had my fair share of KNOW IT ALLS aswell and they dont even last a week as they are full of sh

it. They can't do what they told me when they first started

. Now i test them first ,i find the biggest tree and see if they can at least climb up ,that soon sorts the big mouth shitheads out.

Had 2 in two weeks

newguy18 · 10th March 2008, 05:20 AM

Man i wish i could climb the big trees like that.

George Hayduke · 10th March 2008, 11:54 AM

Crane wheelies are cool!

NOT!!!

There are always ambassadors from both ends of the spectrum. Nucklehead Nosak is the bottom end...Guy M is from the other. Can the public discern between the two? I sometimes wonder

It's mandatory for the guy's now over here to have additional PPE in the summer. Sun Tan Lotion. Factor 20. I laughed my rollocks off at that 1.

Is there an Email for this idiot Nosak. Jeez, this dude needs educating. I cringed when that crane went up and it even mentioned on his site about the weight calculations. It's not rocket science.

arborjockey · 10th March 2008, 03:36 PM

Dont be shy ekka put his website up their and it has a "cotact us" icon. let him know what kind of idiot he is. Makes arborist look like fly by niters. The $5 mil. house in one vid. looks like the same one behind the car he crushed. Did he say he was going to dump a semi load three times?

and why not a full load.
