Add this to my list of jobs I wouldn’t do even if you paid me a zillion dollars. Skyscraper window washer, crane operator, tall ship sail letter-outer, transmission tower technician. Literally any job that’s more than six feet off the ground, I’m out. Huge respect to these guys.
This brings back memories. i did this for over 40 years. Tree removals were my specialty. It was always interesting determining where to make the pie cuts, which way the branch would go when lowering and the like. I am now 72 years old and those days are in the past, but it was great to watch you guys in action. Very professional.
So good to see a video of people doing something properly and professionally. As for the views from the top of the tree, crikey, I felt sick, 4 feet is enough for me. Nice one you guys.
You're more of an artistic engineer than anything else, angling those cuts just right so that the limbs fall precisely where you want them to. Great job!
Great but great great job. It's scary to see how that tree had almost no bark and some branches were really rotten. It must have been dead for many years
I climbed thousands of trees as part of my forestry job. Mensuration and folia sampling etc, we ALL hated climbing dead trees. You were really just guessing how structurally sound the tree was. We had trees as big as this one fall or break when we had people up them. It looked dangerous and it was. Pretty amazing effort.
Wow, I’ve never watched filming from that angle before! (Now I know what a birds eye view is really like) big respect to you boys for the careers you have chosen, I hope you realise how valuable you skills really are!
Very nice work Harry. I saw no real improvements to be made. Couple of potentials; At 6.00 minutes. Protect your uphill hinge as much as possible when swinging side lean especially on short grain stuff like gum. Straighter that back cut is the easier they fold over. I don’t reckon this tree maxed out your fuel capacity but I grew a valuable and silently rewarding habit of switching off after almost every cut. Saves heaps of fuel and a bit of noise and heat. AAA+++
As clean as they come. It’s good to see the planning behind it all. Definitely at the top of your game and it’s good to see and learn from. Like a graceful Ninja in the trees 💯
The climber ascends knowing the tree is absolutely dead before going up. Confidence is off the charts not to mention the absolute skill once you are up there. I have been skydiving but was more comfortable jumping out at 15,000 feet because of my chute. Up there you are all by yourself and nothing else.
Any chance I get to pull over and drop big tops I will. Why not, time is money and dead trees can never be trusted. Good job man, always love your videos!
Que trabalho mais lindo, quanta adrenalina!!!......já assisti vários vídeos de pessoas cortando árvores, e em seguida, derrubando telhados de casas próximas ou amassando carros....😲😆 Meninos, esse lanchinho me deixou salivando 😍 pareceu delicioso! Parabéns pelo trabalho, pela equipe e simpatia 👏👏👏👏🍬🍬🍬
Gotta do this kinda work with a wind speed of zero. Gotta be trim but in great shape as well. Under 40 helps too so you're livelihood duration is limited.
Very nice video . Clearly a real pro ,cutting down trees. I myself like it when i cut trees in a ground level. Not high in the air. Greetings from Finland,!
Absolutely fascinating! Everyone in that neighborhood can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to these guys. I’m glad it’s you up that tree and not me though. Definitely not my racket! Bravo! 💪🏼😎👍🏼
It was a lot of fun watching this video. I started going to work in 1954 need us to say I’m not climbing anymore I stopped when I was 75 but what was interesting you use a static line when I start a claim and we use a Bowsens, not and we made our own saddle out of the rope, which was Manila with a double Bolin knot on the bite good job, Guy. There’s not many of us left who can work like that on a tree like that. Take care be safe.
Nevermind the what if or should would could 😂🤣 this dude is onnn!! He went home to his family that's the main thing but anything can happen aye boys... tuff!! solid work bro💪🏾 from aotearoa n.z
I'm training to be an arborist and the one thing that really sketches me out is climbing a big dead tree like this. How can you be sure that it'll take your weight? Freaky!! Well done!!
" Wow" this takes some nerves to accomplish, and elevates arboriculture to another level.....Respect & Admiration to the team for their skills and video content.
We just bought one of those giant slingshot things at the golf course I work at. It works so much better than swinging a bag in a circle and hoping you let go at the right time to get it through the branches. Also, it works very well for sending golf balls across the pond.
Loved tree service work in almost every way, but I'll never miss climbing dead trees. Tree service is a great job to have in the winter here in Minnesota, easy to stay warm on the coldest of days.
I had a similarly huge dying gum removed from my backyard recently. I was going to go out for the day whilst they did it. Instead, I sat staring, spell bound by the aerial ballet, poetry in motion display by the crack team of tree surgeons. It is as much art as artifice and I take my hat off to them all!
That's what I was thinking aswell but I haven't cut down a tree yet alone 30 feet in the air. And it does make sense that they feel competent and safe in their work to not need to rig but as a lawncare worker like me you hate to see the ground damage

When I saw the title of the video saying ‘Dead Tree’ I assumed it would be newly dead or dying not matchstick dead!!! Brave men performing brilliant work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice work Harry. Is your tie in point a running bowline with a long tail and a figure8 stopper knot at the end? Reason I ask is because here in the states it gets looked frowned upon.
@@treeclimberharry582 I've heard (but never seen) that the bowline can loosen with repeated loading and unloading. I don't think it's "rated" for life support without the Yosemite tie-off.
Good vid. How is it that you determine if a dead tree will hold your weight and not collapse? It looks like the safety line holding the climber is the top of the tree. If the tree gave way it appears the climber is sol.
you can definitely see and feel when the tree is too dangerous to climb, and and know when your pushing the limits. this tree although very dead, still had good structural integrity close to the trunk and main forks. only the ends of the branches were getting rotten and brittle.
Sweet video man awesome footage and the gym stuff at the end is freaking Rad bro! The better I stay in shape translates to being able to climb better too! Stay safe and keep up the great work! Question reading your reply to @stihlborn what would you have done if those trees were mush?
hey man thanks for the great feedback, yeah my climbing definelty improved when I started gym too. as for removing those tree if they were mush, there was access for a tower so that would be the safest bet. otherwise probably have to bomb out bigger section providing the trunk was still solid and just have more collateral on surrounding trees.
Wuaaaaah. 😵💫Seeing something like that from a "first-person" perspective always makes my knee muscles cramp up. How do you actually test that the branch over which you shoot the carrying rope is strong enough? Are you only hanging from one rope? No backup? Huge respect for your courage, calmness, precision and professionalism! Edit: just a few seconds later my "backup" question gets answered. But still ... 🙈
Add this to my list of jobs I wouldn’t do even if you paid me a zillion dollars. Skyscraper window washer, crane operator, tall ship sail letter-outer, transmission tower technician. Literally any job that’s more than six feet off the ground, I’m out.
Huge respect to these guys.
Quite. I’d be worried about ending up six feet under the ground.
I'm with you Ima, no way would you get me up there
Fruit picking?
So you don't fancy being the chief International Space Stations' chief window washer ? Man I'd love that .....
yup
This video serves as a reminder that there’s levels to this game. Absolute professional at the top of his game. What a pleasure to view.
I actually was nervous watching it. Great job.
He can nearly stack em where they land.

100% agree!

Get a room.
I have nothing but respect for a guy who's cutting down the tree he's hanging from.
That was amazing to watch. I held my breath the whole time you were cutting the branches. never mind the height.
you guys are excellent.
Great but great great job. It's scary to see how that tree had almost no bark and some branches were really rotten. It must have been dead for many years
I don't have anything critical to say from the safety of my couch! You gentlemen are very brave. Great work!!
What amazing skills you have!!!!!! You have this down to a fine art!!!! Thanks for sharing this video ❤!
So much fun to watch these guys do a very precise but difficult job!

Fair play piecing it out with zero rigging. Looked like a sketchy tree

I use to be a faller 40years ago this bloke is bloody good good on ya mate
since then, tree cutting saw engines also improved with better high perfornance lighter 2 stroke engines and improved 2 cycle oil technology
🐱👍🏿
My goosebumps on heights… you are a brave man
Very well done mate 👍 Same for advice-givers in the comments too....they certainly know how to talk these trees onto the ground
Thanks Reg!

you sir, are a bad ass. I'm 65, video made me wish I was 20 so I could apprentice with you. amazing professional!
Dude you got some raw skills. I enjoy the vids. Keep them coming.
Good to see a professional who knows what he is doing. I've seen a lot of youtube videos, where cars and houses get destroyed.
You’re braver than me, there’s no way I’d trust that rotten old tree. Great job man!
Harry, you must have huge balls or crazy or just both!
That tree has been dead for 15 years,stupid or no fear or sence of it.Every tree is different.
Tree was dead but not rotten trunk was or appears to be solid dead wood
Gotta do this kinda work with a wind speed of zero. Gotta be trim but in great shape as well. Under 40 helps too so you're livelihood duration is limited.
Great job! It was a pleasure to watch. Thank you!
Well done guys. Showing the rest of the world how to do it properly. Bloody brilliant!
Very nice video . Clearly a real pro ,cutting down trees.
I myself like it when i cut trees in a ground level. Not high in the air.
Greetings from Finland,!
You are insane and insanely good!!! I was awed by that performance... Bravo!!!
Now the palms of my hands are all sweaty! But impressive how you put those logs and branches so neatly beside eachother. Well done!
Absolutely fascinating! Everyone in that neighborhood can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to these guys. I’m glad it’s you up that tree and not me though. Definitely not my racket! Bravo! 💪🏼😎👍🏼
Amazing job. I felt butterflies in my stomach when he was cutting the big trunk.
Much respect from the UK. Brilliant work Sir.
A pro at work. Loved every second of it. ❤️

Brilliant, the customer waits till the tree is that fucked before getting someone it to climb it...
yep gotta love it 😩🙄
litterally 90% of the job is climbing dead trees lol wish ppl would call sooner 😓
They won't call until it's beyond all hope
They think it's easier to remove a dead tree or cheaper, it's a common thought process I've come across.
This is beyond my imagination! God bless you.
Howdy from Sacramento! You have great skill and a fun crew. Thanks for sharing!
Biggest mountain ash I've ever laid eyes on. Well done, TCH! Surgical! Cheers.

The trigger for the Big Shot is well worth the money.
Thanks for the content brother! I learn something every time I watch.
Absolutely mind blowing. GREAT job Climber Harry.................and not too shabby on the Ninja bars either. 😉👍

Been watching Ninja Warrior....waiting for you to show up & beat mount madoriama👍
haha i wish 😁
Loved tree service work in almost every way, but I'll never miss climbing dead trees. Tree service is a great job to have in the winter here in Minnesota, easy to stay warm on the coldest of days.
Tree man harry knows the importance of holding wood
a great job guys, I got vertigo just watching.. thanks for sharing and best wishes from NZ
That see- saw though. Not to mention that they managed to miss all of those trees at the bottom, excellent work guys!
Harry, you have “it” . Excellent job brother. I climbed for a little under 27 years. I started at age 15. I knew when it was time to stop.
Эти парни свою работу знают от и до. Дух захватывает от увиденного Я бы не смог
an impressive tree it was. the wood is dry and still stong, listen to the sound when the big pieces fall! impressive work!
10:23... mes bras ont eu super mal. Toutes mes tendinites se sont réveillées.
Super travail. Bravo et merci pour la vidéo.

What ascender do you guys use? That looks super quick
Amazing work guys, follow through shots as the limb falls to the ground is top notch.... And the awesome thing is that you are having a blast!
Awesome video & true professional climber. I dislike hights and watching this had me scared & feeling I was going to fall.
Made it look easy ninja man! Awesome video🤙🏻
Nice work, gotta love a good drop zone. looked solid enough to rig off but it saved a lot of time.
That's what I was thinking aswell but I haven't cut down a tree yet alone 30 feet in the air. And it does make sense that they feel competent and safe in their work to not need to rig but as a lawncare worker like me you hate to see the ground damage
Not many “ wood “ attempt this with a tree in this condition, I applaud you, 😎
I was equally impressed with your gymnastics workout at the end…wowza!!
Absolutely fricking AMAZING video, I wish I could give it 100 thumbs up WOW!
sure you can!

@@v3124 yeah okay, potentially if there was a short tail I could see that happening, but with a decent tail and stopper knot I think it's fine.
@@treeclimberharry582 I agree, just trying to share what I think is the basis for caution against the bowline.
@@v3124 climbed with a bowling my entire life ( almost 58), never a problem...
Wow I enjoyed watching this vid. Such craft and professionally executed!
Great shots ! Great placement!
Great job !
Old dead trees are so unpredictable. Very great job👍👍
i wouldve rather trained a monkey to climb up and cut them stumps than risk this man life!
Парень просто герой! Умница! Безопасных дней в твоей работе! Спасибо.
Excellent work!!! Very smooth. You should get a knee ascender.
Man, I did forestry for almost 30 years and I’ll tell you one thing you got balls of steel I’d never climb a dead tree!
Awesome.....thanks for showing us this!
That gives me the willies watching your pov. Making a scary job look effortless. Well done, gents!
The very last minute, ABSOLUTELY-BLEW-ME-SLAP-ASS-AWAY!!! BRAVO! 👍 BRAVO!! 🙌
I don't know why I find this soo relaxing 😭
I like that 360 of the top of the tree lol nice work guys
That Blue Streak rope is an awesome climbing rope. Great job!

I saw you swinging in the gym, tree work is good for ya!
Wow, amazing work!
I am too old to climb trees now but hats off to you for doing it
How was the knot above loop itself ? And how was he able to "untie" it after the job is done ? Anyway, great job in removing the tree safely !
Very nice job guys!
That's quite the skill! Impressive!!
Nice job how do think the hippies feel now?
I like the satisfiying sound it makes when the log breaks off
You're a true tree cowboy! Wow, watching you zip down the rope like Spider-Man. Your skill is off the charts.
Awsome job man!! true arborist skills.
Wow. Wow!! Amazing. Great work. Not to mention your workout at the end. Cripes!
P.s. what is ur vegan pie recipe? And were the brownies vegan too?
