' You were right two trees.' Two trees that are mechanically linked and counterbalancing each other. Don't bet on a jury not finding against you if you destabilize the other tree. Not any different than if you do something else to your property that destabilizes and damages someone else's property. Even if you leave the root system, you've still obviously removed the huge weight that worked against it, and counterbalanced against the other tree. The 'two trees' idea is about having two trees merely grown together, and they're considered separate for the purposes of killing one and removing it. That legal idea isn't likely to save you if you crash that other tree into someone's house when there's an obvious mechanical danger brought on by removing only one side. Just think of it this way, if you cut that side down and it eventually fell on and killed someone, it wouldn't be 'an act of God' or similar. It was something that was or should have been easily foreseeable by the arrangement of the trees, and you didn't take appropriate measures. Fine enough that it was fixed, but it is certainly not the 'not our concern'. Even if you have 'the law says it's separate trees for purposes of killing our tree', you can still be held responsible for 'blatantly negligent' in other aspects. 'Obvious, basic, mechanical problems' created falls into those other aspects. Don't expect a jury to actually let you off if you do something this ignorant and it causes someone else harm. And you can bet somewhere in the contracting/licensing etc, there is some mention about creating undo risk for others or similar ideas. My first thought if someone did similar next to me would be to have my lawyer look at getting their license yanked. If they're legal, they almost guaranteed signed documents that basically say 'we won't do obvious crap that might put other people at risk'. Basically any licensing body will have that sort of CYA wording somewhere, so they can blame the licensed party if they harm someone's person or property.
Our neighbour actively avoids human contact. Our maple was WAY over her yard. Guy came, cut it back from within our yard. Pulling all debris back to us. She skulked in the kitchen watching. There will be no talking! I still felt obligated to do the civil thing and remove the branch.
Thanks for the video, I miss working for a tree service. I was part of a team during the Dutch Elm Disease era, and we took down a few trees amongst homes that were easily 10' in diameter. On one particular occasion, we were downing a massive Elm and the largest, man it was huge! The tree was located behind a house about 20' from an old brick garage. On day 2 of dropping this tree, we were almost done and had about a 20' butt left, and it was huge. My boss was cutting the bottom, to fall the butt, and it took a good half an hour, and he it finally fell it, and when it hit the ground, it slowly rolled towards the brick garage, as we watched in terror! The top edge of the butt caught the very corner of the brick garage, and it then slowly rolled back towards us, and in the process had hooked the very corner of the garage!! As it rolled back towards us, it raised the corner of the garage about 3'!!! We thought for sure the garage was about to be destroyed, and then it happened! The log then rolled back, this time towards the garage, and ever so gently, laid the garage right back down, and you couldn't even tell it had been lifted!! WOW!! The End : )
I literally watched the other video minutes ago, then the YT served up this one… instant closure! Kudos for offering the narky neighbour to complete the job and close the loop on this story. PS Hope the not for profit is doing well.
Amazing tree work and you avoided damaging any of those electrical service cables, the sidewalk, the driveway, the fence and the original client's garage. Well done! I hope the videos bring you business and if I were in your area I'd definitely call you.
I never really considered myself afraid of heights, but my heart is pounding just watching this from the perspective of your GO-PRO up in that tree! I could never.
Love the banter between you and the crew, feels like any of the projects I've ever been involved in with family & friends. It always seems like hard work such as this brings out the best in hard-working types when we're all busting butt & getting stuff done. Very cool to see this my friend.
That’s awesome I watched when they climbed my tree which was humongous. They started at eight and was done at four that’s how huge my tree was. Job well done! Stay safe
I remember the conversation with the argumentative neighbor (with his boat in the driveway). I need to go back and watch the video of you trimming the tree for the nice neighbor. 😊
Finally, vindication and conformation! I'm happy for the homeowners on both sides. A good end to a puzzling situation. I'm really proud of the boat owner property owner for having the tree taken down, smart move on his part.
Nothing to be proud of the boat owner for. He didn’t step up and have the tree taken down. From the beginning he tried to pass the responsibility off. Be proud of Game of Trees here. They are the ones that stepped up, went to him and offered to do it free of charge over a year later when they didn’t have to.
59:; Spot on ! I wondered if any one noticed that and came to the comments to see if any one did. Not so much angry face, thought. More of a comical one mocking and laughing the angry neighbor to scorn. Seems to say "See, I told you so !" PS The "angry man's" nose is indicative of people like that !
ruclips.net/video/x7o08Hz1nos/видео.html&feature=sharec this was the only video I could find on your channel and it’s funny of all the comments on this video that has nearly a quarter million views I don’t recall a single one critiquing it in your manner. Thank you for noticing what no one else did I’ll see if I can’t improve :-)
For sure a great video. Big tree cutting is always dangerious but you handle it well. Oh. And ya sure. Blame it on the new shoes. Thats my story and i'm sticking to it. Thank you for sharing this video. God bless
Thanks, yes, that’s my story :-) I’ve actually have one arborist collaborating with me, saying it took him a couple of weeks to get used to those boots. :-)
I am 75 i climbèd for ma bell in CA in the 70s, we were t h e first female line man class . I watched you strap those on and remembered the pain in my calves . I had the flu on graduation day and pictures for Magazine day jackets and up and down was something to remember
that was realy nice of you to come back and surprise him with this i hope he was very appreciated of this job that you did for him i hope you thought him a good lesson to be more respecful with people
We have a job board with magnets of all crew members and trucks and equipment. One magnet says Kevin’s Gear😂😂😂 I didn’t make that magnet, but I earned it😂
How do you learn to drop a tree branch from a rope and be able to estimate where it swings with almost absolute certainty? Is it just years of experience or is there more to it? I can guestimate where something would swing but I don't think I would be able to ever to do it as safely as you lol. You guys segment trees like surgeons. Definitely appreciate what your crew does and those like you
59:10 yea that basically confirms that at one point this tree was most likely one tree but then branches off. Like why would a home owner plant two tree extremely close to one another, to the point they’d merge
They were too sprouts off the old stump. My point is that they grew together they didn’t split apart.. Here’s the video on the full story ruclips.net/video/TASyNcK7HcQ/видео.htmlsi=n-U1Kizekg7cMk1Z
Great job. I always watch when I have trees cut/trimmed in my yard. The height part makes me dizzy with vertigo, but love watching. You proved him wrong. I hope he apologized to you and was embarrassed. He should have had you take the whole thing down when you were there. Was he so angry that he had called another tree removal to trim the side left, I may have heard wrong.
Hey, saw the first video. Saw this one by happenstance, so, just had to watch out of curiosity. Dang if it wasn't 2 trees just like you said. You know your tree stuff. So, to make sure I catch the next one I subscribed. Guess you have a new regular viewer now. 😁 I have grea.t respect for you guys going up in trees. One of my mom's brothers was a "trimmer" and we lost him back in 1974 from a work accident. He was up in a bucket near some power lines, and the guy driving the bucket from the ground put him right into a power line. Lot's of mistakes all the way around that day. Stay safe. Can't wait for next week to see what you find underground.
The straps are $6,000 pound tensile. We tie direct with the rigging rope on larger pieces. Sometimes I will double the straps. Always maintain awareness of your rig weight with a log weight chart. Available in a phone app.
yes now its two stems. but it looks like to me that the rotten part in the centre was the core wood of one trunk and the one stem split into two with a now rotten centre remaining. the growth rings tell the story best and theres not two defined growth rings at the base cut as far as i can see. the weather would get into that rot a lot easier if one remained. so you di a good thing to remove the whole lot and technically there was now two defined stems or trunks. good job,. thanks for the vid.
Your skills are really good! You were cutting what looked like really close to some of the ropes. Have you ever accidently cut one of your ropes while taking a tree down?
I have caught my lanyard and ropes at various time, but never at the same time and never all the way through:). I did miss connect 25 years ago and fell 33 feet, that was something 😃
@@GameofTrees Whew! I'm glad you recovered ok. Or at least it looks like you recovered ok. I wish safe times for you and no more falls for you. Enjoyed your channel and commentary!
I hope this beautiful maple tree goes to people who can mill it down and make tables or other things with it. It was straight and gorgeous. ❤ I didn't see rot or insect damage at all for how old it was.
After you cut the stumps down to the ground, did you see Mortimer Snerts face in the stump on the right side? That was pretty cool, I hope you saved a slice of that face. 😂
Thank you Joey! You don’t know how comforting a comment like that is after someone said, “don’t worry Kevin, lots of old people hit the accelerator instead of the brake.” 😂😂😂
Yeah, I was secretly hoping I’d get to take this down, here’s the stump video that had some interesting fines as well. ruclips.net/video/H9y-PW7t3oY/видео.html
Different stems possibly. However, there are no roots where the two stems meet up. I have had this happen at my house where one stem fell during a storm. Since there were no roots in the center where the stem was located, the other half uprooted and fell over about a month later. This would be the same thing as it looks exactly the way my tree looked before both stems fell down. No roots in the center to hold the stems in place and began to separate, just like this one is doing.
I can just hear Kevin singing when he's up in the tree.... KEVIN I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK I sleep all night, I work all day THE CREW He's a lumberjack and he's OK He sleeps all night and works all day KEVIN I cut down trees, I eat my lunch I go to the lavatory On Wednesdays I go shopping And have buttered scones for tea.... LOL 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@GameofTrees there is an outline on the stump of the tree that you cut that looks like an ogre. I wasn't making a comment on any person in the video. Just made for an interesting anecdote.
surprised the neighbor let you use his driveway to make the job easier, people can be sooo petty sometimes when they don’t get their way and love to make things miserable for all.
We were doing some tree work for an old guy years ago and his neighbor had said we could use his driveway as their backyards were on different streets but they backed onto each other’s. As soon as we were driving into his yard,he came out yelling and calling us names. We parked the truck and tried talking to him and he threatened my ground man with violence,we laughed it off so he walked inside and called our company yelling at the receptionist telling her we were threatening to beat him up😂. It got worked out but the poor old man that hired us felt bad because the guy did tell him originally that we could use his driveway but then flipped the other way when we showed up 🤡
Happy to see that tree come down. You were right two trees. Be careful up there.
Just wait til you see the stump grinding next week. Really cool discoveries. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
@@GameofTrees So the angry guy gave you permission to remove his tree?

Im am 60yrs old and have dropped and trimmed alot of trees, watching your videos makes me realize what a novice i am. Good job
Thanks Mike! We post every week:)
Guy wanted free tree removal in the beginning and he got it in the end. A better man would have taken responsibility for his compromised tree.
It has not returned void on me.
You are 100% correct. Sad, I know. Good people always bear more of the burden, but that will never change.
And... an even better man, took the high Rd and came out looking like a champ. Says wonderful things about his character.
That would linger on my mind an heart to not pay you something for this work.

No roots in the center to hold the stems in place and began to separate, just like this one is doing.
You need to watch this video of the stump. ruclips.net/video/H9y-PW7t3oY/видео.html

Guys top first, than the Middle and than the rest !!!! Good job ??!!??
could you provide link to purchase the boots?
www.treestuff.com/haix-protector-ultra-signal-chainsaw-protection-boots-red/ here you go.
When do you think the air spade / grinding video will drop ?
It is done and edited and scheduled next week same time same place. Let’s just say I’m really happy with the results:)
@@GameofTrees Can't wait to see it.
Do you guys use the step cutting method?
I might refer to that as a break cut. There are so many regional terms. Define if you like. Thanks
@@GameofTrees I tried posting an answer but utube removed it for some reason. A step cut or snap cut can be googled with: step cut arborist.
Maple chunks can be worth good money if cut to the right length. for guitars and violins . i think 4 foot chunks.
But to find the buyer :-)
@@GameofTrees just google guitar/ violin manufacturers . its worth way too much to burn or throw away.
Nice to see you climb, I wonder how many people still can.
I’m currently over two months into a zero carb diet in an effort to maintain my climbing ability :-) I have gotten several years younger in two months
@@GameofTrees I am 83, I should look into that diet.
59:20 Proof that trees have spirits--lol
😃
I never saw that until folks started pointing it out. A grumpy troll, that explains it! 😂
Those property lines sure are crooked. I prefer living somewhere that the lines are rectangular or square.
My client had a rectangular, the corner was a triangle, the angry neighbor has a square:)
Well done, sir. Very impressive. Man ,that's an ugly dude on the right tree stump.
Thank you
@GameofTrees there is an outline on the stump of the tree that you cut that looks like an ogre. I wasn't making a comment on any person in the video. Just made for an interesting anecdote.
your climbing that tree with new boots on ... ?
Yes, they are arborist boots that were given to me by the Company to test. $400 value. Chainsaw protection inside
And I thought the only reason it was standing was the termites were holding hands.
😀
the stump on the right has a FACE !!! lol
👍🏻
That looks like some nice wood for the wood stove.
That’s about the extent of the value, I think it went to someone with an outdoor boiler.
Yep
Two trees!!
Just wait til you see the stump next week:)
surprised the neighbor let you use his driveway to make the job easier, people can be sooo petty sometimes when they don’t get their way and love to make things miserable for all.
We were doing some tree work for an old guy years ago and his neighbor had said we could use his driveway as their backyards were on different streets but they backed onto each other’s. As soon as we were driving into his yard,he came out yelling and calling us names. We parked the truck and tried talking to him and he threatened my ground man with violence,we laughed it off so he walked inside and called our company yelling at the receptionist telling her we were threatening to beat him up😂. It got worked out but the poor old man that hired us felt bad because the guy did tell him originally that we could use his driveway but then flipped the other way when we showed up 🤡
What a great table could have been made from a slab of that!
High likelihood of cracking and it was two trees:)
