What a great ground crew and attitude! Would be a pleasure to work with these guys

We have safety meetings & prayer before starting the job everyday so I love seeing this and I'm glad you were able to help this crew.

What a terrifying job!!! So glad there are skilled brave guys like you to do this.

Fun fact: squirrels can survive a fall, they can't be killed by terminal velocity. Was sitting on my deck watching videos last year, umbrella up, and a squirrel fell out of the oak above me. Landed 3 feet away from my foot.....acorns flew out of his mouth(scared the crap out of me!!!!). He didn't move for about 30 seconds and then got up and walked away. Even the babies can fall out of the nest and the mom will come and pick them up. Love the video! Have a great weekend!!

I don't know who that guy is Jake the older gentleman but man what an awesome man would love to work with him and you definitely but wow what a blessing we pray everyday to

That jumping between tree to tree was intense, especially with how thin they are! Respect to tree surgeons!

I am 42 years old and have done tree removal since I was a kid "family business" and everyday my dad prayed before we started our day, sometimes the customers would join us and sometimes they would stand back not sure what to think but never had a complaint about it, I would say 99% liked it. Keep up the good work both in the tree industry and in the ministry of Jesus!

What a fabulous person that older man is!!!!

Power to you for doing this specialized job. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, I felt dizzy just watching at this kind of height. Thank goodness for the safety precautions you take. Good job

That prayer and safety confirmation before was my favorite park of this vid. Start each job with prayer Nothing happens but through the father!

I did not realize how much goes into getting a tree removed. Much more appreciation for this profession. You guys are crazy lol 😂

Love what you do man, as a ground guy you cannot get a much better crew than the ones you worked with In this video, have to send a prayer to the man upstairs before every single job to make sure my dad is safe

I knew they were squirrels from the squeal. Glad baby was ok breaks my heart

Wow! That’s two tall trees. Must be a great view. I presume you pause each time at the top ti look around…Thank you for posting. Love watching your work. Scary and exhilarating at the same time.

I'm not Christian but I gave the video a like right away because of your confidence praying in front of the world. It's honorable and worth being proud of.

Same here, not religious at all. But something to be said for the praying. Its stop, pause, think safety. As an atheist I welcome that too. Kudos to them too, for not being shy about there Christianity.

The safety talk and prayer was everything in this video!

Thanks, Jacob for the super fast Sappy Supplies order, my first! The handwritten thank you note was a nice touch, keep up the strong work!

Heck yeah Jacob! I am 13 and bought my 4th saw today. I will be carving soon.

We had a 50 plus year old fir tree removed last year. Took a crane to handle the huge sections of the trunk. The logs were big enough to mill dimension lumber. Firs grow like weeds here in western Oregon!

Hey Jake, a couple of things. First the famous last words of some climbers were "I don't normally tie in twice when..." You know anything can happen at any time. i.e. @20:52. You also know that a chainsaw can cut through a steel core flipline in a second. It doesn't take anything to throw your climb line around a couple of branches above you. A second thing is when zipping those dougs don't do an undercut. Cutmore into the collar, but not all the way off, and allow the branch to peel to hang down and settle before cutting it all the way off. That will take some energy out of the zip and you won't have the branch moving side to side on the way down. Avoiding stuff like eves and gutters.

You must be from the UK. Reality proves it has its place. The peeling method does work. If you had actually done Douglas firs you are either cutting to much before they peel or you're taking to big of a branch in which case you should use a controlled speed line.@@edwardallen2696

Really wish I had someone like you too have taught me the ropes of the tree industry because the guy I had really didn't have the patience or knowledge to teach someone who has never did tree removal. Great videos

Poetry in motion….thanks for sharing!👍👍

prayer is always good!!!!!!!!

Wow! Amen!!! Very cool. Jesus is King

Artist with a saw, rope and knots! Nice!

Love the prayer!!! 🙏 What a great guy!

baby squirrels are always a tough dilemma. honestly if you leave the nest to the side and the babies are still okay the mother will come to get them when you guys leave. they usually have 5 or so nests in the immediate area so the babies will be fine if you leave them alone. it's just hard when you're trying to work a job and it can be a hinderance to the job to try to get them down safely.

I love buying from local tree guys like you and Gordy

Mad respect and admiration from Cincinnati, Ohio USA!!

Love the prayer before the work starts! All glory to God!

Good thing we watched all of August's speed line vids! What a great system.

Thank you Jake. Awesome video.

Great to see that the ground crew wanted a safety check first though it should have been done before you started to climb the tree love your vlogs all the best from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

Great job done Jacob...

Oh kool good to see you Jake ⚒️⚒️

Got great couple of guys to work with glad to see ya doin well

Omg.. I’m afraid of heights just watching u. More props to u n ur amazing skills!

Love your content and insights. Your high level of focus on safety is appropriated. There is one thing I noticed and thought I’d mention. As in this video, when clipping you life line to the tree, you carabiner is side loaded. For your sake, I’d like to see a biner with a rated gate: such as DMM AmericanO. I just sent you $40.00 via PP so you can buy one of your choosing. Stay safe…

I love the prayer b4 you climbed!

Loved the prayers, it shows you care!

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing

Awesome job Jake

WOW! What a pro! they make it look easy.

Love that safety meeting and then a prayer!

Hopefully the mother squirrel found it’s kid after relocating

Impressive and scary as hell at the same time. Talk about excellence!!!!!

Homeboy literally trusts a mechanism to hold his weight and life 😢😅❤

nah the prayer was way too wholesome, what a great guy.

I’m anxious just watching you , we don’t have trees this tall in England thankfully lol great job 👏

I’m glad that the little critter was OK cute little guy

what we need is another Collab with august and the monkey beaver crew

Seeing Jobs like this make me feel better about my low paying ground level job 😅❤

Thanks!

Awesome job brother

I managed to watch nearly eight whole minutes before my collywobbles took over. You take care of you....

Great job man I am impressed with the battery on that little husky

Awesome job Grind crew excellent. Can’t wait for those sticks. Stay safe

Really love that boss!!! Good Godly man!!!!

oh my god, this is so interesting , you are a brave man

Crushed it buddy!! Lotta branches can't wait for part 2.!! And my rope runner pro is kinda the same with srt I'm a small guy so I leave it at like 4 I think makes it smooth for both

KZread thought me 4 different US Presidents favorite food was squirrel soup xD blew my mind

I don't these days, but my younger days I was a pole climber, stay on the ground now. Highest I've ever been was on a tower about 70 feet, pucker factor was high that day, these guys take that to a whole new level! I absolutely know I don't have the balls for this!

What an awesome prayer. People don't do that enough and it works...

@23:20 good call. If there is a doubt, then there is no doubt. Treat those choices like your life is on the line, cause it is. Don't ever take a shortcut. Good job man. Keep staying safe.

my first tree cut video. that was fun! I was hoping to read *why* these trees were removed. I know nothing about this realm and couldn't guess!

It's about like after 6 months at sea stepping foot onto dry land for the first time I know because I was in the Navy and now I climb trees

Wow that was awesome

What a beautiful tree/habitat

Watching this make me feel like climbing is for babies! And cutting trees are for grown ups!!

Very interesting .Thank you.

25 year climber love those big removals. Methodical groove

I appreciate your videos.

glad i found the video after watching the shorts. my feet was tingling the whole time im watching the video

I love the working lanyard

He earns every penny he gets. Amazing.

My hands started getting sweaty when you were at the top cutting. I hate heights but enjoy your videos.

Watching this at 1am on silent as wife sleeping no matter how much you charge you don't get paid enough for doing this job

Really interesting video quite a skill there that saw us brilliant

I cant imagine doing this this is to scary i have masive respect man

I do work installing fiber optics and I have to climb poles from time to time. What you do is nothing short of amazing compared to what I do

Jake approved. Good stuff. Love

I learned how to climb in Maui. I'm climbing in AZ now, man do I miss the coconuts. What a fun gap to jump back and forth between too. Excellent video, mate! Stay safe

There usually one guy on the crew who keeps them as a pet. Funniest thing ever. So true dude lol

That guy is pretty slick with that rope, the guy with the saw ain’t bad either 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You are a tree surgeon for sure. Very impressive.
