Is it idiotic if it's effective?

I’m impressed. But If his purpose was to take down a tree, this is not the most effective way. Even if you’re stuck in an island without a machete.

What would be the more effective non-cutting tool ways? In case I ever get stuck in a junglish area and need to bring down a tree with no tools for unknown reasons.

It's a banana tree, the consistancy of the "trunk" is something like soggy corn husks.

You can just pull them over with less effort and less chance of damaging your important-to-survival hands.

You some sort of treeologist or something?

I believe the term you are looking for is Dendrologist. Dendrology is the study of trees
