Wayne, PA (PRWEB) August 27, 2014
Murphys Tree Service in Wayne, PA will have a week without its arborist, Daniel Murphy, the week after Labor Day. Murphy will join dozens of other arborists from around the country for the annual X Week gathering in Bel Air, Maryland. This event, hosted by David Driver of Arbor X Inc. in Bel Air, will bring together the rock stars and the bad boys of the highly competitive and often dangerous profession of tree care to discuss technique and philosophy, and to review the latest jaw-dropping videos. These world-class tree climbers and chainsaw masters are often considered the Green Berets of the contracting world. The attendees at X Week are the men who are called to remove difficult and dangerous trees in situations when others would walk away. And they have earned their fame not from competing in industry championships, but from the videos of their work that they produce and publish on YouTube.
As David Driver explained, Before online forums were available, tree climbers were very isolated in their practices. The vast majority of arborists had never been to a conference, read a trade magazine, or seen any training material. They learned the trade from whatever company they happened to work for and continued using those practices for their entire careers. Training was very limited, and the result was that tools and techniques evolved at a snails pace for decades. But with the advent of online forums, particularly in the early 2000s, arborists began watching and adapting techniques from rock climbers and cavers. Those were fun days, said Driver, but even with the ability to converse with arborists from around the world, we were still limited by the difficulty of articulating with words our very complex and dangerous techniques.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, states tree climber Daniel Murphy, then a tree video is worth a million. In the late 2000s, arborists from all over the globe began posting videos of their work on YouTube, and a revolution in awareness began. Language and distance barriers were immediately transcended. Anyone could watch amazing feats of climbers dismantling 300 ft. dead gum trees in Australia and technical rigging in tight spots from England to New York City. And like most subjects on YouTube, there were a lot of novices posting relatively boring videos of man cuts branch, branch falls to ground. But in time, a small minority of chainsaw-toting videographers began to attract large followings. This small handful of highly skilled tradesmen was able to show in great detail the skills and equipment needed to remove large and threatening trees.
Murphy himself has an eclectic library of videos available on YouTube, and they show everything from advanced cutting techniques and extreme precision in falling, to safe and correct pruning, climbing and safety lessons for the inexperienced. Owner of two small companies, Murphys Tree Service in Wayne, PA and Stump Munchers in Newton Square, PA, Daniel Murphy is also one of the most controversial figures in tree world. His innovative techniques for cutting and rigging, demonstrated in his videos, have caused heated debates to rage for weeks in the online arborists community. I didnt realize my methods were different until I uploaded a few videos, said Murphy. I got a lot of negative feedback. People called me a reckless, suicidal maniac, and of course, lucky, lucky, lucky. It took three years and a hundred videos for my peers to realize that luck had nothing to do with it.
Many of the techniques that were once considered revolutionary in the industry are now common practice, thanks to the energy and creativity that have gone into the making of videos for arborists. The X Week event in early September will create the opportunity for many of these innovators to meet face-to-face for the first time. Attendees must leave their chainsaws at the door.
About Daniel Murphy: Daniel Murphy is an ISA certified arborist with 30+ years of experience, a published author, and has been on the cover of Tree Care Industry magazine twice. He claims to have learned his trade from one of the best tree climbers in the world, and he continues to search for better ways to work with dangerous trees. Videos of his work illustrate the level of skill and daring that are often involved when dealing with trees.

Tree Surgeons Post Videos, Convene For Annual X Week To Debate Dangerous Cutting and Removal Techniques
THE LIFE of a magnificent 250-year-old tree on the site of Aldi's new Silsden store ended ingloriously yesterday as it was felled by chainsaws in less than five minutes.
Staff at the Ecology Building Society had battled to save the 35m tall lime tree which overhung its property after learning too late that the food retail giant had full permission from Bradford Council to chop it down.
An earlier tree preservation order had been revoked to enable Aldi to clear the site off Keighley Road and re-landscape areas surrounding its new store.
Removal of the tree was dependent on there being no council objection to final landscaping plans.
And when that deadline passed yesterday, contractors moved in with chainsaws, said EBS Ethics Manager Anna Laycock.
"It's been such a sad day - when the tree came down the noise was terrible, like a scream," Miss Laycock said.
She and other workers have organised on-line campaigns through social media to try and persuade Aldi to change its plan, but no comment or response has been forthcoming.
"We had a huge amount of support from members of the public, but not a word from Aldi despite attempts to contact them," she said.
Aldi haS also not issued any media statements on the removal of the lime tree.
However, Bradford Council did confirm that planning permission had been granted as part of the overall approval for the new store.

Campaigners fail in bid to stop 250-year-old tree being chopped down
A tree planted in memory of a University of Canterbury history professor has been felled to make way for campus building repairs.
The University Council found the "very unfortunate event" resulted in the removal of a red beech memorialising distinguished history lecturer, Jim Gardner.
Chancellor John Wood said there seemed to be a "systemic black hole" in the area of memorials, with no central register kept, and no map or record of memorials or plaques.
"It appeared that the status and location of the tree was unknown and it had suffered damage in the remediation process and was subsequently removed to facilitate the building's reinstatement," council documents said.
A university spokesman said the tree was removed to allow for the repair of a lift shaft in the history building. "Although it became apparent after the tree had been removed that it had special meaning, I am advised the works required could not be completed without the tree being removed."
The university did not have a heritage trees register because the majority of the trees on campus considered significant were in the protected Ilam Heritage Gardens, the spokesman said.
It would work with Gardner's family, his former colleagues and the history department on options for reinstating the memorial.
The university council asked management to identify and register items of significance on both the Ilam and Dovedale campuses and to develop a draft memorials policy.
The policy is out for consultation and will be returned to the council .

University mistakenly fells memorial tree
A Coventry woman is warning neighbours to be on guard after a number of fires believed to be arson in the Tile Hill area of Coventry.
Mandy Cook was at her home in Dormer Harris Avenue last week when her shed was set alight.
The resulting flames licked at the house, where her four-year-old granddaughter was sleeping upstairs.
Fortunately the fire was spotted by a neighbour before it got too bad, although the back of the house suffered some damage.
The incident happened at about 10.30pm on Wednesday August 20 and came just days after her grandchildrens other grandmother had had her car torched.
Mandy, aged 43, has also heard of other potential arson attacks in the area and hopes that families will remain eagle-eyed over the coming weeks.
She said: There have been quite a few fires recently, with my shed being being set on fire and four days before that my grandchildrens other nan had her car set alight.
My shed is joined to the house and the fire came through in to the house when I had my four-year-old granddaughter here.
We were lucky that my neighbour saw the fire as we were in the front of the house and didnt know it was happening.
The police are investigating and I just want to warn people as it seems that someone is going around doing this as I have heard of about four or five fires in the area.

Warning over suspected Tile Hill arson attacks
SEEING a flotilla of 200 black swans returning to the Swan Bay wetland between Coraki and Woodburn is about as good as it gets for Richmond River County Council's Mike Wood.
"So much of what we do is about politics and paper shuffling, so it's good when you see something like that as a result of work on the ground," he said.
Mr Wood said the Swan Bay area was a paddock with a single swan struggling through the weeds a year ago, but the prime habitat has been restored thanks to some intensive restoration work.
Some politics and paper shuffling has paid off with Richmond River County Council (RRCC) being named as one of four recipients in the Lismore electorate of an Environmental Trust Restoration and Rehabilitation grant.
RRCC will use their $94,765 to rehabilitate 3.5 kilometres of the Richmond River at sites in Lismore, Ballina and Richmond Valley Council areas over three years, as part of their Coastal Zone Management Plan.
Other recipients include; $99,260 for the Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare group to improve wildlife corridors; $99,800 for Wilsons Creek Huonbrook Landcare group to remove coral trees and $100,000 for EnviTE to restore habitat links in Yarringully Nature Reserve and Bungawalbin Creek catchment.
Thomas George said his electorate had received 10% of the $4 million on offer across the state, which was a credit to the professionalism of the organisation that had submitted project applications.
"People have a view that I don't do much for the environment but have a look at what the electorate got. That's partly the quality of the applications and I'd like to compliment each and every one of them," he said.
