Paul Nosak Raw - USA's Tree Work Ambassador?

Eric Frei

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Wow, I must have missed this before, scarry. Nothing says "REDNECK" like sleevless shirts.

Eric Frei

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!

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?

Eric Frei

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."

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 shit. 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

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

TREE-SURFER

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.

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.

Jeff Darby

Hi All,
I veiwed this not long after it was put up, Sorry for laughing, This bloke is down rite dangerous!He definately needs the riot act read to him very loudly....He comes over like a Tree wrestler..loud mouthed..full of cuss for his co workers. As for the suburb he brags about the wealthiest....more dollars than sence..He get's "The Bozo Award".

having just viewed those vids, I beleive that guy and his mates are what are commonly known as complete dicks. A stihl baseball cap must be their form of head protection! Nature may take its course and take them out of the gene pool with a freak accident (hopefully) complete dicks!!

newguy18

His climber shouldn't be working with cranes.

I even got a little plastic thingie so that I can wash it in the dishwasher or the washing machine to get the grime off of it. Maybe that's taking things a bit far...

After watching "Ax Men", I was thinkin that ol Nosak should go spend a week or two with those guys and see if he lives through it! He'd fit right in with the crew who's yarder operator quit.

Hey, Gerome was trying, ya gotta remember who is running the show, ole NoSac there- what a beuty that dude is. Sad but true that seems to be the trend, more losers with big equipment and no clue, I've seen it personally right next door to my shop-these guys were rolling out with the biggest fanciest stuff you've ever seen and total crackheads, I'm not kidding, they were so bad that even with the guise of all that stuff they couldnt hide the simple fact of what losers they were. It was all part of a failed merger of two tree services that "decided they were gonna put everone else out of buisiness", that lasted less than a year and now I'm left with the much humbled original neiboring hack that at the end was rumored to be hiding in his house with two armed gaurds because the much tougher hack threatened to kill him " -decided we were gonna put everyone else out", lol, that still gets me.

newguy18

He doesn't even know how to do a step cut and personally i would have climbed down a few feet while the chunk was getting picked off but then again he did it without injury.

I must admit, despite the safety issues and the poor work techniques it was entertaining.
I guess thats what its all about, Entertainment.
Act like a cowboy and people will watch.

PPE & SOP's are great, but they would make for boring television.

It's the way of the world these days.
Everyone wants to entertained, no-one wants to be educated.

Looks like he wants to be the "Paul Snr" (of American Chopper) of the tree world.

Nice crane lift!! yet they never showed episode 6 with the full version???? And after such a big spiel about all those calculations.

Its a testiment to the crane manufacturer though, to go from 5 stabilisers to two and not buckle!!! Maybe Nosak can be their test pilot!!!

Haile_wanted

Nosak No Brain!! This idot need to take note on his own disclamer at the start of his shows and let the real Tree Professionals do the work while he sits on the couch and shuts up.

treevet

I saw the ice storm episode tonight on HD on Learning Channel. Missed the first one. Squashed concrete lawn bench, broken neighbor's window, inexperienced help running all over the place, constant chain smoking while working, PPE issues, dropping a tree that wasn't scheduled, etc. etc. Comedy of errors and a blackeye to the profession.

rbtree

Far king amazing that any cable TV channel would pick up that nonsense.

Wow. Glad I checked back at TW, just in time to tune in to the crane tipping on end episode.

I'd watched all that stuff on their site months ago.

Time to email TLC and give 'em an earful.

Eric Frei

Anyone recording these episodes?
