Love how you captured the nitty gritty man against tree thrill and legit adventure of solving a one-piece hole in one with real consequences for failure. Also, great that you had the solitude there to shoot video without being interrupted by the distraction dynamic that comes with other peoples opinions around (although that dynamic is pretty adventurous too but harder to film). Felt like I was there with you, due to your way including the audience and probably because I have been there.

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith Thanks! I have done some cutting for a friend on some Box Elders which are a common junk tree here. He has one he asked me about, which I advised I could drop into its 40 degree lean onto his shed, he could wait for it to fall on the shed of its own accord, or he could call a tree service! It's funny sometimes when people think that because an amateur has done some chainsaw work he can perform miracles!

When I'm getting ready to take out a tree or trees I tune into some falling videos to get into the groove again (I don't fall trees for a living). This truly opens your eyes to considering so many variables in this business. The hollow stump, and the close proximity of the structures gave you a heck of a challenge, but you read it right, and worked through it! Outstanding.
