Somebody quick! Get a noose around these guys.

I realize it's a useful service, but if you watch what they do, you can't help but sweat.

My next store neighbor had two guys out this morning. Trimming palm trees about 30 feet up. They used a ladder in this case, but I've also seen some of these guys with gaffs trimming trees 40 feet up. With a gas powered chain saw running on a tether off on one leg. Holy crap. Some of this I could not watch.

This thread is about daredevil tree trimmers who risk life and limb to make sure your shrubs look great.

I'm sorry, but this is a weak attempt to derail this thread about that video.

Well see..20mm's post contained NO MULTIMEDIA CONTENT..therefore, it doesn't really count. These days, if you don't put MULTIMEDIA CONTENT in your post, you will get no viewers.
