    Outstanding tutorial! The perfect tree for me to study, one of my first tasks is a very similar but slightly smaller pine which needs to come down. I just ordered a Monkey Beaver 1.0 today and already have a tracking #. I spoke with Katy today she was very nice and answered all my questions. You are a fine teacher Sir, Blessings. BTW, speaking of hitting the mark, my uncle used to have me walk out about 10 to 20 paces and put a stick in the ground then tell me to drive it in with the tree. He too was a great teacher.... I miss him very much.

    The first climb, you’ll find yourself leaning back and driving your spurs forward and down out of fear. Stand up on your spurs, trusting boyweight alone to drive them in. Bring your hips in close, and hold onto the flip line with both hands right where it meets the trunk. Your lower back will thank you.

    Thanks, I don't expect I'll be a nervous climber, I've rappelled, climbed walls, zip lined and flown small planes. The higher I get the more I like the view. The first thing I'm going to do is throw a flip line around the tree and dance around on the spurs to find out what they will or will not tolerate, I think I will then find my comfortable spot. Never-the less, excellent advise and I do appreciate it very much. BTW I took a look at your channel, nice Tanfoglio! I'm a machinist and shooter too.@@WildAcresFarms

    Remember the days you despised the teacher approach. As we get older we think about things differently. I personally enjoy the thorough walk through the process. It does kinda get hard not to show off but as you should. You’ve always had it but now people and kids who haven’t the slightest idea are entertained and think about these things that otherwise would go unnoticed. You’re a stud dude, keep doing what you’re doing it’s a nice way of showing this industry in a positive different light. I think it’s needed, stop and think. Have a little fun, goof off with your guys when the majority just miss that part. 🙏👍🤔😎👏

    I must be a hardcore viewer since I almost enjoy the ride, discussion and mental prep for the job than I do the work. Didn’t see no cups of coffee during the ride or the asking of one more cup before getting out of the truck. Carrying everything is a good groundsman. Back in the day when I was still working, I always climbed just so I didn’t have to do anything else. Just walk from stick to stick and wait for the rest of the guys to get the cable to the pole, climb up, perform my work then back down and off to the next and wait some more. Wonder if the customer or the neighbors question the sanity of the guy in the tree as they hear him babbling about who knows what at deadly heights in the tree. Can hear them now. Honey? Yeah. Where did you find the guys trimming our trees? Off of Craigslist, why? He’s in the tree talking to himself about hammering something, and the guy on the ground is walking in circles talking about the guy in the tree talking to himself.

    55:44 I felt my first tree yesterday and somehow just by learning of of KZread I managed to get it exactly where I wanted it, it was a pretty small tree though so not a lot could have gone wrong. It was about 3-4.5 meters and 6-7cm wide but the feeling you get when felling your first tree exactly where you want it was sooooo nice. Ok have to work on getting good notches tho, do you have any videos on then or are planning to make a video on how to make a proper notch???

I noticed that you haven't been choking off with just the rope wrapped around the tree with a carabiner touching the spline to the tree , without the carabiner connected to the Zig-Zag itself, is there a reason for that? Also the both of you discussing the hinge was extremly helpful. Thank you both for your time and effort.

    When you’re moving a static object without help from elsewhere, it requires greater force. So a little nudge doesn’t matter so much. But if the object is already moving, especially in the same general direction, even a little nudge will allow the object to deviate from the desired direct of movement. So either eliminate any nudging and or get the object moving quick enough or hard enough, so that when the nudging takes place. There’s enough weight and momentum to carry the object along the desired path. And create as much leeway into action as is possible, before initiating said action. I’d say you’re not only doing all this already. But also understanding the mechanics of it. Note. Think I overdid the word ‘nudge’ and variation thereof.
