Trees up in the mountains spend so much time totally under snow when they are young, they barely grow year to year till they finally get tall enough to stay out of the snowpack

Nice to hear the seasoned share their tips with the youth. Not all do that. 👍👍

25:00 Here's a small tip I learned. On the bar oil jug I only put a small hole in the silver seal with a screwdriver on the opposite side of the handle. This way the oil comes out in a narrow stream so I don't spill it. If the seal is completely removed it makes a wide stream and makes a mess.

33:44 In the middle of nowhere and there's still an old tyre in the bush. I realize that it's the town's tip/burn area but that tyre was well back from the current site!

As someone who has lived in southcentral Alaska their whole life it is really cool to see other parts of the state through the eyes of someone who isn’t just a tourist.

Jake, I just wanted to say how glad I am that you decided to pursue your own path instead of sticking with Eastside. I think of how cool this channel is now and how many more cool things you can show us without just the content from Eastside’s work.

You living the life my boy. I've always wanted to go to Alaska and to go there to fell some trees, I love it. I'm in Georgia and Florida helping with this hurricane. So many people have been taken advantage of from tree people. I'm here to make money don't get me wrong but I have helped people who didn't have the money to pay to get the work done. I took a huge pecan tree off an elderly woman's home. A tree service told her $10,000 for the tree. I offered to take it off for free. They ended up scrounging some money together and gave me like $115 but I was doing it to help more than anything

Work up, walk flat. Listen to him. You only get so many steps in life. Don’t waste yours. Great job and great video. Thank you for sharing.

What a great video! Beautiful country you were in! Thanks for filming and taking us along!❤❤❤

That tree that had fallen but corrected it’s growth is gnarly. I love seeing trees like that

Its a sleepy town until the cruse ships show up : )

Fun watching you guys! Love the slow mo of Gordy cutting the blow down tree

Thanks for sharing Jacob. Always good to see Gordie in your videos as well. Keep traveling, traveling videos are cool.

Wow! almost a million subscribers! well deserved💪 Love your videos jacob!

Thank you for making these videos! I appreciate the length you go to share everything in such detail and coherence :)

Good show, worked as a cutter in 1979 and 1980 out of a camp north of Ketchikan. Ran 045 and 2100 Husky’s with 42” and 48” bars; square cut, skip tooth chains. I was in my mid 30’s at the time; worked Wa. and Or. also. It was a good time in my life and loved working in the woods. Stick with it young man and the memories will be there when you’re older; be safe in the big timber.

I've been to Skagway and you're right; it's definitely off the grid. My wife and I got there via ship, but I believe that many of the locals fly or own their own boat. It's definitely rugged up there. The topography is positively breathtaking (as I like to say, "pristine wilderness"). I love your channel. You're quite a skilled technician. Excellent content.

I just took a cruise from Seattle to Alaska last week. We stopped in Juneau and Skagway. The trees there are so small compared to ours in WA. Fun to see Alaska again.

Not a great representation of southeast alaskan timber. Skagway is in the northern reaches of southeast so it's colder and doesn't have as good of soil as southern southeast. Larger spruce, hemlock, and cedar further south. Still no fir though

25:55 That's a real friend. Back barring the cut while your buddy films you! Always enjoy when you two do a trip together.

I've enjoyed watching you grow jake, you have a lot of talent and never have a bad word to say about anyone. I've followed you from the early days of Eastside treeworks, I'm a young tree guy myself almost 12 years in powerline clearance plus residential. Would love the opportunity to work for you one of these days brother! Until then I'll continue enjoying watching the channel!

Thank you for taking me along.

Wow, Jake, what a trip you went on up there in Alaska. I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Thanks for taking us along!

Man pulling out the nice cameras for this trip! Video looms amazing!

“I just tickle it, tickle it then I just pull put.” 😳🤣

Alot of the pine we grow in iceland comes from seeds from skagway. They are the only ones suited for our oceanic climate. Actually seeing video from this place that is so often talked about in my circles, fills me with gratitude

Awesome preforming keep up the great work love the content 💪🏻💪🏻

Almost 1M, Jacob! Congrats!

Beautiful work Jacob.

Jacob ur awesome. Thanks for the video. Throughout all the struggles..

Tickle it, tickle it, tickle it, feel it, then pull out. Very good advice Gordy, when cutting, and dating

You sure have the best job in the best locations on the planet Jacob ❤

Always a treat to see Gordy and you slaughtering woods! That saw is a MONSTER! I am so jealous 😂

That saw made me know exactly what’s on my Christmas list, hard to find people to port saws here in the UK tho 😂

An old faller taught me when it’s almost around the tip of the bar and is hard to rotate, you can take your wedge and smack the back of the tooth to help get it around the rest of the way

You must have an amazing wife that stands by your side. Almost as scary as being married to a cop or fireman because the wife always wonder if you are coming home. I admire your arborists skills and your people skills. It is awesome how you and Gordy get along and joke but learn from each other at the same time. Stay safe Jake & Gordy! Best to you and your families!

I live in Maine and i have a 044 that has heated handles. Got the saw from my dad and i love the saw

From POW myself. Used to be popping in southeast, I cut out of a bunch of camps before things slowed down a few years ago. I still cut around home whenever the opportunity arises. And even the hemlock will hang on tight for you if you coax it to

Amazing! I am 2 1/2 Hours from there! In the Yukon! If only I knew I would have come to see you!

so cool that you can travel so much to do this job

I live in Skagway and really enjoyed the video. Thanks!

Rocking the walkers bar!! Represent

Great video. This is mostly the size I cut in the North of Norway. I mostly use a hq 550 or a 562 with some shorter bar then you use. It's easier to walk with in that train.

@GuiltyofTreeson

8 ай бұрын

yeah that would have been a better size to bring

Damn brother. You are a lot safer than i was. On a chop and drop i didn't shut the saw off. Didn't want to waste time or energy pulling cord. I even filled it running. Just run it in on a notch and slap the brake. Fuel and oil went in. Capped it and kept cutting

Great to see Alaska. I used to live in Seward.

The greatest tree channel on you tube

I love the 550XP Mark II, nice to see one used again. I've used a 500i, and it's a great saw, but I rarely cut large wood, so a 562XP or a 550XP Mark II are much less fatiguing to use.

That whitish moss is called caribou moss. They love it. Nice falling, I wish I was still young enough to do this kind of work again. Thanks for the video.

Right on welcome to Alaska! I live in the big city of Anchorage 😊

Congrats on 1M subs

Ahhh... Grand video sir. Enjoyed it! 💪🇺🇸

You guys should come to Australia and do some cutting. Keep up the great work 👍

I bought gordys hope up kit for my stihl 462 and its a different saw now super awsome kit ..includes fallers suspension

Not the first time I’ve tickled it and pulled out 😂

Love Skagway! Stayed at the Golden North Hotel in 1974.

Looked like Gordy had the hurt put on him the first day. Rolling with the 661 and the 36" bar, full big wood west coast style.

The guy running the 550xp mk2 i love that saw my favorite i run a range of 16 to 20 bar with it.

1:57 "weird funky ... pine? hemlock? I don't know... weird, weird mountain tree" 😂

Love Alaska Love your videos

Jake I'm just going to speak for everyone here and say we all love the sounds that chainsaws and chippers make!

Omg your saw is a beast! I don’t have any of mine ported… I see it makes them cut better but does it make them a lot louder?

That’s awesome, wonder what that cost them for you guys to go up there. Or any where you guys can travel.

What aluminum hard hats do you prefer? Looking at getting one this fall before my work picks up. Love the channel 👍

Love the safety squints. Swear it works better than glasses 😂

Man... that wood has awesome growth rings! Too bad some of it can't be saved for lumber... since it would most likely have to be helicoptered out... and we all know that's super pricey! Great couple of days working! Things out of your control in far away places... weather and area transportation. Maybe next time you'll be able to work a few more jobs per trip! Happy you anf Gordy had a safe trip... and on to the next one.

Want to see a difference in trees look at what they call alder in Alaska. Stay safe. Love all of your videos, thanks for sharing

We usually chose to walk a tree with our calked boots rather than limbing from the ground, lifting our saw above breast height.

Hell yeah dude!!

Nice video How you folks getting the threes out from here? Is it you folks that cutting the limbs off and cutting them in length??

How do you like the defender pro pants compared to the zeros??? Love the content!

Great vid! You should come to the uk🤙🤙

The terrain looks so rough and remote, i was wondering how do they get the trees to the mill,

Hey Jacob, how do you travel with your saws? What type of case do you pack them in? Thanks

@GuiltyofTreeson

I usually ship them to the location ahead of time but if you empty the fluids out you can put them in a duffle bag and check them on the plane

4:40 what is the filming setup? It looks so nice

Ain’t gotta worry about no Bears when your carrying a working chain saw? 🤷🏽

I'd like to see a review for the Echo 7310.

Awesome video as always. Just a question in the video there was a part ware you pushed a small tree with a second one your face cut you cut from up to Down a longer shallower cut. I was just wondering the reason for that instead of the Humboldt?

@GuiltyofTreeson

8 ай бұрын

I feel like on the smaller diameter trees I get better results in a wide open and shallow conventional notch. its hard to get a humbolts really open and shallow enough for wedges

Just imagine if Jed was still around. This would have been a cool field day for you 3

Gordy, will those bushings fit the MS441?

How are you liking the Walkers ultralight bar? Johnny just sold me a 32” to try.

How many did you all cut down great job

What camera are you using that gets those shots? Or is it some type of editing?

That Lichen Moss is also known as Reindeer Moss or Caribou Moss. It takes Decades for it to grow.

You need to go out to the central Midwest and cut some Osage Orange if you want to see some tough trees.

Hah! I was there last week!

Yellow pine is a whole different animal than the soft pines. They are tough !!

Dang the first thing I thought is the video quality is on point.

So how does one get on the "Gordy friend list"? Asking for a friend, of course

yesterday ave my 2 weeks notice to quit my job as a excavator operator to go back to logging im 20 years old have been logging since i was 16 and bushing over dead trees since i had enough weight to do so . Im gonna start my own business in logging im from estonia i have a dolmar 5105 with a 18 inch bar love that saw and a 1960s 2wd tractor thats gonna do all my skidding and i hope we really dont use tree length logs anymore and i dont know how well its gonna bay off but its more of a passion than a job and one things for sure im gonna learn alot and do alot and hopefully have enough to buy a processor someday it would be a awesome upgrade to a chainsaw or a forwarder but thats a big maybe i dont think i wannago so big but i have ran those all alot and they get a job done quick thats for sure good luck and be safe out there

Are you still in Alaska? are you going to be in the Anchorage area? if so, I would love to say hi and shake your hand. Love your videos.

A broken down ferry beats the hell out of most of your trip with Kevin Hamm!

I understand that they wanted the trees cleared for the incinerator but what do they do with all the lumber and brush? Do they burn it or do they let the locals take what they want for firewood and their personal use?

I hope you guys are aware that you're having waaaay too much fun. While enjoying watching this video, I'm as green as those trees you're cutting, with envy.

Are the logs being recovered or just covered with trash>?

What are they doing with all the wood? Looks very complicated to get it out
