Mike Rowe is a man who has tackled nearly everything imaginable.
My brother was a tree guy .. he did what they do on weekdays .. and after every hurricane on the gulf coast and a bunch of tornadoes in the mid west too .. he loved his job .. these guys and this show reminded me of him .. we lost him a couple years ago now .. this all made me miss him 🙏 be safe up there guys

If I didn't have a fear of heights, I'd love to do this.
My old stomping grounds. In the 1970's my husband & I used to ride our dirt bikes in that area, mostly on deer trails & logging roads. Outstanding views. Ground clouds most mornings. If you ever get back into the area, look for London OR. Went there once, got lost trying to find our way back. Beautiful back country. Thanks for the memories. Also my family has a timber farm near Dexter OR, we regularly use arborists to evaluate the health of our trees. I made a table for my dad out of red oak and chinquapin, it was fun to work with. Still have some leftovers that I carve stuff out of.

Greetings from Myrtle Creek, OR. I've been through London and have been through Dexter many times on my way to Oakridge. Love Oregon. This is the closest Mike has been to my home town.
RIP James Luce. I became an arborist because of you, brother. I’ll never forget you
AS A TREE CLIMBER, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ! Love you Mike!
No way! You are so brave!!! I can mountain bike, whitewater Kayak, ski etc but I don’t do heights. Not even for the view. That’s why someone invented drones. 😂

Love your shows, Mike. It's good to let folks know all of those jobs that they had no clue about and just took for granted.
Oh wow, this was awesome at its best. I actually learned quite a bit n admire these fine arborists who do an amazing job. What beauty it was to see out among the other trees of the forest. ♥️😊👍👍
😂😂😂 we had a workaway volunteer on our farm up above Willits that didn't know how to recognize poison oak. We didn't even know he was suffering until one morning at breakfast we were explaining to all the workers how to spot it in its dormant state and described what the rash looks like and he said "Is that what that is?!?!... thought I had an STD or something" 😮 Apparently he'd spent one of his days removing what he thought was dead brush around one of the cabins and didn't wear gloves... then he did what guys do, he went to the bathroom.

I lived in Laytonville for 20 years. I got it super bad my first season, cutting brush with a chain saw in shorts and a tank top.😲 I had it everywhere. It lasted for weeks. After that, I never got it more than a little 1" spot here or there. I guess you build immunity. 😂 My one friend gets it in the crotch every year because the same reason your guy got it. 😂☠️ Had one out of town worker get it on his face and in his eyes. Had to take him to the hospital for that one.

As a climbing arborist myself, I can say that Mike fits in perfectly 😂❤
I may sound like a baby but this made me tear up. When Mike completed his first jump by himself I could see the excitement joy and respect in his eyes when being questioned about it! I have so much respect for all of our military and for what they do for us Americans! Thank u so much
Thank you folks so much for the show.
Mike you and the gang are the greatest, Thank you all for all you do!
So very cool! 👍🤘Thank you! Thank you! ❤💚❤🎄❤💚❤
If only Mike put up a TreeStuff Tree-O-Cache plaque!!
I’m an arborist been one since 1989 worked in Bay Area for most of my career the city of Palo Alto just across the pond from you thanks for an epic episode
I've been waiting so long for Mike to do my job.
This is the one time I'm jealous of what you got to do and where you went to do it.. would love to be up in a tree out in that kinda scenery.. lol
Grew up in Glendale, OR just a little south of Azalea. Hunted deer for many years out in those mountains. Loves the shows. Keep up the great work.
Such an interesting episode. My husband was/is a treeman. Now I know a little about what he experienced. He talks about the tops of trees alot😊
I'm so happy! Someone gets to do all!! I think I live through you. Its a gift for me!
Watched the nations largest burr oak get cut down. Shawnee KS. Every arborist around showed up. Too old, was gonna fall on a hwy. They cleared about 20 trees to give it room to fall. Caliper at about 20' up was 6' a true giant of a tree.
So beautiful at “allow me to remind you”. Took my breath away
Love your stories! ♥️
Amazing!!
Great view 🌲
Get that thing looked at lol! Mike you slay me man! This series is so fun and informative!
Truly fascinating
Wow, what a view to behold!
that was awesome love the content and adventures
Mike and crew y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace
That’s near me in Oregon! Awesome
As always something I wasn’t expecting to see, that is what makes these interesting.
THANKS MIKE
I love Mike!
Awesome
Loved your recent FB post about the teardrop campers,
Hmm, woulda loved to climb with Mike Rowe.
What an amazing experience. 🎶💐💖
There was a possible record for a pecan tree down in Warren County, Mississippi. Over 8 feet in diameter and 150-foot spread. Sadly, it was cut down.
Good job.
Best guy on the internet hands down thank u mike for such interesting content 👍👍👍👍🤠
That’s a lot of Subarus and Tacoma’s in the parking lot. The NW tree bro’s are always predictable. Nice episode Mike. Keep up the good work.
Just an FYI- I as a youngster was told by my Mother that I was so allergic to poison oak/ ivy that I didn't even need to touch it. Basically if the wind blew in my direction it was a done deal. Luck be with you my itchy friend...
Mike Rowe, you are a national treasure!
I love Mike ❤️

Interesting. There's Chinkapin in the Blue Ridge mountains where I grew up. Small tree that produces nuts much like a chestnut. Probably some relative of the American Chestnut? They had become pretty scarce by the time I left there back in the late 90's.
Wow!
Welcome to my world Mike. 🌲Glad you could make it.👋😄
Brian French is a stud. Local Portland arborist. Great episode
I have an oak tree with a 220" circumference (70" diameter) at 3' up the trunk beside my house. That is an impressive tree but, yea. When I was younger, I used one of its' branches to remove the bed from a 1970 Ford F200. The broken limb and chain wrapped around the limb still sits below the tree to this day.
That's the biggest Chinquapin I've ever seen; around here they're size of Japanese Maples.
as an arborist this epsiode is my fav yet
Now I’m curious: a fiddler here in Virginia is remembered for the tune “Chinquapin Hunting” and I wonder if he was tree hunting?
Mike so glad you're doing this video tree trimmers never get the credit they deserve when the power goes out the lineman they won't get out of their trucks until we come in first I done it for 20 years a naked all the credit 👍🖕 the middle one is for the lineman they make more money than way more money 🍀🍀🍀
keep the episodes going
I worked in the Southern Oregon Coastal Mtn Range for 32 years and have seen thousands of Chinkapin trees, but nothing like that one. When the nuts fall off the trees at a certain time of year, they are good to eat once you get them open. We measured a 9 foot DBH Tan oak while doing a survey once. Unfortunately, it was smack dab in the middle of a proposed log landing and was cut down a long time ago. I’ve seen a lot of big Tan Oaks over the years, but nothing close to that one tree.

My dad was a hot shot with the forest service, he would have loved this show!
Was expecting a taller measurement. The Firs at my place are 120'-125', so I'm guessing those firs near them gotta by similar.
I used to work on communication towers, the highest I climbed was 1200'. One thing I always enjoyed was the views because they were always different. I got to travel to some cool places too. Guam, Japan, and Alaska just to name a few. We had a job scheduled 17 miles off the east coast, but a hurricane came through and pushed the job back. I would've enjoyed to do that job, it would've brought back memories of my time in the navy.
Incredible! Thank you all!
I love climbing trees best job in the world

My brother and I used to climb a tree on a friend's ranch to sit on a branch and watch the cows. One day, when I was 12 yrs old I went up there, sat on that branch, heard a cracking sound. The next thing I knew was my oldest sister walking me into the house, passed out again before going into the house. Woke up again on a bed cry, "Oh my back, my back." She thought that I had fallen asleep under the tree. We were the only ones home at the time. So when I woke up crying she called 911. The tree branch broke and I had fallen about 25 feet on to a uneven pile of 2x4's. Ended up breaking my back in 3 places and spending about 3 months in a cast from shoulders to hips. Never climbed a tree again mainly because I was not around a good climbing tree ever again.
I think you should see about getting some of those early pine cones to replant to help regrow more of those cheeka poos pine trees.,or cheekapooh pine trees again.
4" inches shy of 105'. Nice guess Mike!

What was the girth measurement and difference from last measurement… hope she keeps her throne 👑 😊
Somebody says they want to have a discussion with me, how quaint. My JOKE about denying the existence of sasquatch being racist was just that, a joke that I think followers of Mike may appreciate this day in age. I love Mike Rowe! He keeps levity in this crazy mixed up world we all live in. I am quite sure sasquatch is offended at you Mike and you may see him on Jimmy Kimmel sharing his feelings about you doubting his existence and Jimmy blaming it on Trump.

I've gotten poison oak and pokeweed oils on my twig and berries. And I've been pepper sprayed and tasered. Would choose pepper spray and taser to be tortured lol.
Main climber in our company is 62, they don’t make em like they used to. Only hope to know half of what he knows one day.

Whats worse, poisin oak or poison ivy?
When me and my cousin were growing up, he got poison ivy on his junk to😂😂
