Welcome to Lincoln County Jacob! I'm just a few miles south of Lincoln City. That's a Sitka spruce and we have lots of them. They don't have a tap root like a Doug fir does. Shallow rooted, roots fan out on the ground and with all those limbs they're liable to tip over when the wind blows. Not a high grade lumber tree. An empty detergent jug works good for aerial piss calls, easy to send up the tree and nobody can see your plumbing while you're emptying the reservoir. Glad to see you're employing the RRP. Great tool. Thanks for the video...

The amount of skill and stamina here is incredible.

I was going to say the same thing. Astonishing.

Honestly, I just had this show up and I am thoroughly enjoying watching your work. You seem so patient and jus go about your business. I would be terrified being up that high but you make it seem so matter of fact with it. You are an amazing craftsman. Hope you have a great day.

You guys make it look easy. I was a little dissappointed we didnt get to see the whole tree down. Part 2? Great job great content..thanks guys

The first thing I must say is Bravo! Your entire operation was so well orchestrated and you made it look effortless. You were way up there dude. I could have taken a bite of that hamburger, chewed and swallowed it in the time it took for one of those firewood length pieces to hit the ground. You were dancing around up there like you were on the ground. I'm in my early 60's now but in my prime I used to climb telephone poles. You and your subscribers have earned this story I am about to tell for your laughter and enjoyment. One day I was up a pole and had to shut down some equipment for service. The company I was working for at the time required that the exterior speaker of the truck be on at all times when you were up a pole for insurance reasons regarding weather. That day when I was deep into the job the dispatcher came over the radio and said for all climbers to come down and wait out the weather event. I thought I could get it re-energized and working before I came down. I thought wrong. The wind started blowing so bad I couldn't stand in a fixed position while working on the equipment. I kept swinging around the pole and my gaffs would start to blow out. I started getting a little nervous realizing I had made a bad mistake. I called a buddy to assist and he and I together got things in order. When I came down 2 hours later my knees were shaking and well you get the picture. I was maybe 30' up. I say you and your subscribers will laugh and I welcome it because man you were like 170' up there for the whole day. You have my respect. Well done. Great editing and overall I enjoyed every minute. Thank you. LIKED and SUBSCRIBED.

Now this I was not expecting - how neat the extraction of the tree branches were separated from the trunk, My older brother (bless his dear smile) who also did this type of work and just like you guys were very good at what he did. Big difference was the machinery they did not have just the chainsaws, wire rope, wood cutting saws and axes, the big branches was cut into firewood for sale, remaining refuse was chopped up & used as mulch for Home Gardeners. This is some 70 years ago, My beautiful memories of how they did it back when resourcefulness did come not with modern machinery but all hard YACKA, blood sweat n laughs. JUst like you modern guys who are doing the same work but alot more PANACHE cheers & work safely

I remember years ago watching Ace Tree for inspiration in my own tree work. In my opinion you guys have gotten to that level of filming and make some of the best content nowadays , especially from this side of the world!

Thanks! They are awesome

Awesome video! I was offered an apprentice position one time with rope & saddle at five dollars an hour but couldn't afford it at the time and had to turn it down. I did step into the nursery and landscaping construction works and was groundskeeper for a tree farm of 10,000 tree's. After the planting I tended to a total of 35,000 trees and learned a great deal from the owner in my apprenticeship at tree farming. A truly great person who taught me so much and a good friend also! Thumbs up guys, trees are awesome!

Could we get a in depth story time of how you got in tree work at what age and just basically a timeline of your career did you go to college etc when you started KZread etc. would be great to hear it thanks

Nice take down buddy. Gotta love the days where it’s worth while just staying in the tree opposed to coming down.

young kings handling serious business w a smile you love to see it

Man, you’re good. Ya show up, and go about it. Great work. Great Vibe too

Dude, these videos are therapy. Keep going.

i am terrified of heights!! wow, you are a beast

100K is right around the corner! That's awesome!

There is Beast Mode. And if you make another step further, there is Treeson Mode! Way to kick butt.

I tell you what I'm sitting here watching this eating my lunch today at work. I usually don't get too anxious when you climb but this one was giving me the shakes. Lol I'm not even the guy in the tree nor would I ever climb a tree. I'll fix the truck that pulls the chipper but I'm not climbing a tree. Especially something like that. Don't know how you do it man but it's always a joy to watch you work.

You need a climber friendly soda can? They make it. Its called a screw top plastic bottle. Or a stainless steel bottle. Get a high quality narrow mouth with a loop. They also make double wall steel bottles, stays cold. Costs less than a new chain. They also make bags for cans, use a climber's chalk bag. You're welcome!

Wow! That was amazing to watch! Time to watch part 2! Great job!

Well this is the best Arborist channel on You tube, YT keep encouraging me to watch others so I have, but honestly, they don’t even come close. I love your expertise, quality footage, camera angles, banter, good manners, seeing different parts of the process, ongoing conversations & above all you’re a really hard worker - or grafter as we say in the U.K. One thing I would like to see is a picture of you before the beard times 😆🤣😂 🌲

@jamesdevries5722

To be clear: "Felling" trees means cutting them at or near the ground and controlling the direction in which they fall. It's an art in itself. This man is having to piece the tree down. He has to figure out how to safely land every single part of the tree with the help of his ground crew. It is a much more strenuous and dangerous job. I did this work as a young man and loved it.

Oh man...a marathon session up in the clouds for you all day. Majorly impressive! Off to part 2 now!

Hell yeah brother looks like an awesome day at the office God bless you brother Charlie Western PA

I watch KZread videos on fire tv so I rarely comment. That tree was so epic I had to get my phone out to comment. Total respect to you and your crew for professional work. I worked on heights as a young man on bridges. I don't think I'd ever be able to do what you do.

Great video as always! Love tree cutting!

Hi Jake - loving your continuing content 👌😎 - if you want a quick hack on how to measure height (& progress etc) use your compass on your iPhone (elevation) - excellent for real time progress measurement too - keep on hanging in there bud 🙌 - AL

You’re right about spruce being so dang heavy. I’ve often thought it was water retention as it seems to be a more fibrous wood.

@rogerbarnett8412

2 жыл бұрын

Spruce, imo, is lighter than Douglas-fir. Log weight calculators agree with me. As to how much heavier it is wet versus dry, I can't say, as I've cut many times more fir. Redwood, however, if cut in the spring, sinks. It's almost as heavy as live oak

@CanadianDirt

2 жыл бұрын

@@rogerbarnett8412 You’re right! I looked it up on both log tables I have and green D. Fir is heavier. I’m not sure why, but green spruce feels heavier to the unscientific mind when moving it around the sawmill. Maybe it’s because the fir is all gang and merchant sort, so smaller logs, where as some of the spruce is 36” diameter at the butt.

Great content. Great filming, excellent commentary. All around just fk'n good!

***PUCKER FACTOR*** @17:57. I pictured my head getting snapped backwards bc mentally I was moving closer to cut through those pesky holding fibers. It's a great mental exercise to play the 'what if' game as well as imagining what i would do during the removal process from your POV. Almost like trying to predict your next move. Great work as always!

Good job. Awesome video.

dude ,,,, that's straight up awesome ,,,, ,,,,,love it,,,,

Great job Jake

Jake ....... easy solution to your beverage can delivery is to get one of your speed line loops and a can cozy, place the base of the can in the middle of the inside of the speed line loop ..... slip cozy onto can, this will have enough friction to keep the loop under the can (make sure the speed line loop is balanced and sitting evenly on either side of the can), clip it onto rope and pull up to you. you can do the same basic thing with a bent wire coat hanger made into a universal hanging hook for your can

Great video! Hard work! I catch myself kinda bracing with worry.❤

Had a guy speed line or zip line my 60’ white pine. First time I’d seen the technique. He clipped on 5 limbs at a time then cut each and attached another 5. Smaller tree and branches. Nice neat pile. Nothing hit the house. Neat setup.

One thing that I use when speed lining from a high tie in is set straps around 10-15 feet apart as I descend from tie in on rope… really helps with getting rope back to climber.

I can watch these videos until the sun comes up! Thanks for posting!!!

Love the video but I don’t think you’re getting the best out of that speed line kit if you have another strap connected to the next branch above at all times you will keep the tension and it wouldn’t be a lot less Pfaff getting the line back all the time because you would always have control over it.

@rogerbarnett8412

Correct you are, @ RHP Mountain & Trail. I've been speedlining since ~1989, and learned that trick long ago. Few understand its importance..until they try it.

@rogerbarnett8412

2 жыл бұрын

Let me add that, a bight in the speed line can also allow for a limb that is behind the action --or at any aspect--to be lifted. This advanced technique requires either a z-pulley rig, GRCS, a mini, or a chipper winch. The further out the limb is tied, the more it can be lifted. Lifting low limbs will allow a better speed line angle, assuming the line is tied off high. So, structures can be cleared more readily, and more lateral distance can be achieved.

@rogerbarnett8412

2 жыл бұрын

Adding to my latest reply, often a high tie point is needed. low limbs often don't allow for a speed line angle that will allow the load to travel sideways. This is when that high tie point comes into play and the lifting technique. Of course, during the cut and after, the line does have to be tensioned. Climbers and crew need to understand how forces on a speed line quickly mount as the line is tensioned. All that said, my favorite speed line is a static line. Zero stretch + less droop. Only for advanced users....

That is one long day in a tree. I really don't know how you do it but I can completely understand how you wouldn't want to climb it more than you have to.

Awesome work 👏

REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE ❤❤❤

You’re customers probably thought it was “raining”😂🤣
