Over the years I have learned so much watching your channel..thank you for helping me become the best climber I'm able to be..your awesome man

Well, that is a decent starter set-up, August. The upgrades will come with experience 😁

Every tree owner everywhere is LOVING Adam's commitment to treework at 5:00

Enjoyed it. As someone who is kinda a tool and equipment geek to begin with as well as an aspiring tree guy (at 45 yrs old lol, but have always been a "wood man") I really liked the equipment intro. Thanks, as always great video.

Risk comes with big reward! I like this video August. As long as I have been a really big fan of yours I have watched you grow. Which is a awesome to see! 👊

Ah, yes...back in the day when a hard working crew could have lunch, or finish the day at a local pub or pizza place and relax after an honest days work. Such distant memories!

All great equipment you guys got exactly what every tree crew needs. With that awesome chipper I can't believe that you guys survive on such a small chip box.

Howdy August, Gotta say the Vermeer AX 19 is one of my favorites to see in action! Eats all that tree no problem. Reckon lunchtime was during one of the trips to empty the truck. Again enjoy watching a great crew just get to work and get the job done. Have A Day! ;~)

Thank YOU for your TIME!!!

Impressive. Its inspiring to see what you've done with your business.

showoff really. here i am two years into this and still have to sweat and hump my ass off, now i got a guy in town with a man lift cutting my throat on every bid. frustrating to work so hard lowering limb solo with no crew havimg to climb down the tree to untie my ropes just to climb back up and bring down more of it ive been in ghe woods most of my adult life ,learning through trial and error. today i dont think there is any tree i cant safely bring down alone thats not to say its easy because its not ,but i suit up and show up at every oppertunity i get and am greatful for. your videos have taught me lots and you have a great flow about how you get the job done. always in control and at peace in the air as am i. when i climb its the only time the worry of the world leaves me and i feel like im actually helping people with a problem they cant fix,felling trees. thanks for your videos i cant help but see your equipment and wish i had something like even one peace of it

Stoked you are giving details on gear. Great video as always.

You guys make it look easy. Great work.

Always a great show. Great to see you fellas! I cant wait to get home. My order showed up today. I have to wait till tomorrow to open my MB box. I am 4 hours out of town for months I bet.

I used to make those cranes back in 2016. its really cool getting to see them things being used for something like this.

yeah, I'm not jealous...or envious...haha! beautiful work...loved the gear id stuff...don't want my ground crew to see this ... or they'll get the idea of how relaxed and chill tree work can be!

Love your videos, great tree work and awesome crew!!! Oh and love the Ford💖! Love my new monkeybeaver buffs❤️❣👍

Nice video and a good job. Take care and have a blessed day

Awesome video I still learning from you thanks for sharing 👍

Happy fathers day to you. Gods blessings upon you and your family.

Great video as always. That old mad max truck looks cool. I have 2017 volkswagen transporter as a work car. I am a crapenter and a tree climber and the car is always full of tool and mess. Im wonder to buy and old silverado or a f-150 that can be a tree work truck and pull the chipper. Thanks for sharing. 😊🌲👌

good to see you guys out working

Storming here in WWVa today. Up and down... Good job. Good eats🙂

Pretty cool to see that ArborTech body on a truck out west. They are only about an hour from where I live and right next door to a couple customers I visit every couple weeks.

Loved watching that big first pick disappear into the chipper.

Happy to see you today !!

I've always thought of them as just different tools that are useful for different jobs. DRT for jobs with double lanyarding or lots of limb walking. SRT for columnar trees and removals without a lot of up and downing.

Cracking beard mate! It’s a strong look

In the late 70s - early 80s, I climbed for companies in 3 different states, and everyone just climbed with a saddle, climbing rope with a non-locking clip on the end, and with the 2 foot tail from the double hitch securing the clip, you secured the two ends of the climbing rope with a friction knot with 2 loops under and one over. Now, that securing of the rope is done with hardware, plus you have a belt full of hardware. Really curious when all this hardware started to be used.

I want a mini skid. It’s okay Jeff, I have a shameful Chinese saw too. Raise hell praise Dale!

That chipper is a beast. It would be awsome to work with your crew,.

How does the F550 do hauling that chipper? We have a Morbark M16 that our F550 seems to have a hard time pulling when we have a load of chips. But, we have to pull a lot of STEEP hills!

I was really curious what crane it was. Last spring I bought a bt4700(23.5t/92ft boom) I sold it and bought an AC38/127Altec

That chipper is almost as impressive as the crew nice job guys

I recently witnessed a crane job. It was impressive.

Is the hydro pump for the dump on the truck located in the storage bins?? If so we had on blow and killed all of the climbing and rig gear. Huge expense

I'm 50 Yrs old, I've worked full time in IT for the past 27 Years. 5 Years ago I climbed and cut my first tree. My whole life i never knew there was a field like this. I am sure I have been in the wrong industry this whole time.

I went to college and got a business degree with major in information systems management. My senior year was the big tech crash of the dot com era. Prior to that Raymond James was snatching USF graduates as fast as they could. So when I graduated about the only tech jobs left were changing passwords for AOL. Started off lawn biz part time and fast forward almost twenty years later got a pretty sweet tree gig going on. Love it, I see the degree hanging on the wall and just shake me head.

A chipper has made the biggest difference for me so far, you'll get there!

How long did it take for you to get use to running a saw specify in tight spaces? I have no saw experience and no one to teach me so I'm trying to learn by myself on a clearing project Mainly junk trees in the 3 to 6-inch range all grown sense 2007 (ish) I bought an ms194t which is my only saw currently

Word up on 201T gas tank...my baby echo tank lasts longer. Good tip on Stanley hand saws...I will give them a try. Been using silky for years, but they dont seem to stay sharp as long as they used too.

It's because you're stronger now, and saw faster/more than you realize. Dead serious. You'll find this dynamic at play in the use of many hand tools. Obviously, there is an opposing factor, where we learn how to be more CAREFUL with preserving our tools, as we gain experience, but swinging things harder and more often, still has an inevitable effect.

Aloha August, love the videos man! Do think the upgrade to the new sena (the one you showed in this video) is worth "upgrading" compared to the old? I'm rocking the old, and I like em but the range isn't great. Mahalo

They are heavy and they don’t keep sound out as good as other helmet systems and they are more uncomfortable because of less space under the ear muff foam for the Sena speakers. Probably the best helmet for safety though.

Hey. First of all. Thanks for the phenomenal content. Thank to you and other valuable channels I decided to change occupation. About my question- what was the brand of blue rigging rope, which you used in one od videos to help tree fall in required direction?

To the untrained eye it would seem that way. It had been topped. That is just chopped in half, truncated cuts like a lay person will trim a tree. This caused rapid sprouting branch form called epicormic. They lack the genetic ability to steer and organise themselves for balance, strength and light. And they have weak unions at the cut point where they emerge from. This tree was not sound.
