Love the safety talk and prayer before ascent. Not a big believer myself but with what we do we definitely gotta shoot a thanks to the man upstairs once in a while. Would totally work for those guys again
@@jeffbeeckman8359 Most of us who feel that way are upset with how credit for a job is given to god when it goes well not the skill of the person. Then more times than not after an incident, it's not gods fault but a failure or oversight of the person.
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
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
This was a good video……… for those who watched , right to the end…….. ‘the very FIRST thing my darling mother used to do when we came in from a big shopping expedition (no cars for us….just the basket on the bottom of the baby’s pram and our own carrying power)……. Was to take her coat off, unhook her Bra and say, “Thank God for that”. Then it was shoes off and while/if the baby was asleep a glass of Sherry for each of us’. Yes, that was her quick release and wind down. That brought back VERY fond memories to me, my son is 49 now and I’m 77. Thanks young man Jacob, guess you never thought the little end of your tree cutting today would have stirred up these lovely memories for an old lady in Belfast NI. …… who knew???
I helped my dad take down a tree once. Nowhere near as tall, and we used ziplining to take down the branches while he was tied into the tree. Its reallt fascinating to watch knowing how much effort and planning and practice goes into taking down trees and maintaining safety. Wonderful to watch.
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
Son niños grandes con juguetes, se ve que es experto en el tema y también se divierte en el proceso, trabajo peligroso y arriesgado, pero se ve que sabe muy bien que heces, felicidades y gracias por un trabajo bien hecho
@@tatianafaine7672 I wish I could understand your comment thank you so much I know he know English if you could write it in English I would appreciate God bless
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
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 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!
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'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.
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!
Yeah no, douglas Firs are not weeds. Old firs provide shade and cool the air and keep it from looking like L.A. we need to save them not cut them down for convenience.
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 🇦🇺
I went from watching coding and programming videos to arborist videos. Haha! This was great, man! I used to clear trees from right of ways, but you're on a whole different level! I found it therapeutic watching the video. Keep up the good work!
I started working on my dad’s tree crew when I was 13 back in the mid 80’s and absolutely loved the job, he was an iron worker so heights didn’t bother him. We went on to do mostly high risk insurance jobs out of houses and wouldn’t trade that experience for the world, I know that the core crew were some of the toughest workers and men I’ve ever worked with. He climbed till he was in his early 50’s and passed it off but damn that man knew what he was doing with tree work, you did an amazing job here brother and definitely know what you’re doing.
@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.
That was a good job boss and crew, he was really good about meeting your needs to get everything done safely to your standards ( some people think safety meetings before the job starts, is boring or dumb, but they save lives and get everyone more on the same track, and the prayer is +100💙💙💙
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…
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
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!
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
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
Love your content. It was educational for me and super interesting. Like how you narrated all the work you did. One thing I would have liked if you would have used the bucket he offered and put on some gloves for the squirrel or any wildlife you encounter.
Love the safety talk and prayer before ascent. Not a big believer myself but with what we do we definitely gotta shoot a thanks to the man upstairs once in a while. Would totally work for those guys again
I enjoyed the prayer as a Christian I want to see more of that
The prayer was ridiculous and really undermines the skill of the people involved.
@@MichaelMLFC92 even the most skilled professionals have accidents

I really liked that also. Was a nice touch but it also shows how seriously they're taking safety .. heck!
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.
At least one of those is helpful
How about proper safety training instead of a little talk to a made up God
@@mittron2556”a made up God”… might as well end it all now then
@@mittron2556 yeah i'm sure they aren't already trained for it or anything
Really nice to see the business owner being so understanding and such nice communication between you and the ground guys. Awesome work!!
Yeah, Dave is great 👍🏼
What a fabulous person that older man is!!!!
That jumping between tree to tree was intense, especially with how thin they are! Respect to tree surgeons!
Thanks!
What a terrifying job!!! So glad there are skilled brave guys like you to do this.
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
I did not realize how much goes into getting a tree removed. Much more appreciation for this profession. You guys are crazy lol 😂
Exactly!
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

that’s funny i just started a year ago im 19 and he prays every morning he’s a very righteous man per-say.

Love that safety meeting and then a prayer!
You are one brave man. With my fear of heights I could never do this. Love your vids!

Why did you cut it, imagine randomly killing a human
@@Kathakathan11 i imagine it more often than not.
@@Kathakathan11 Maybe her tree was dead or structurally compromised? Imagine if that tree fell on a house and killed a random human. 🤷♀️
@@linzzzanity well then it’s fine, but we do know that people love chopping trees only to expand the space.
I loved the prayer. It surely was the best part and a great way to start doing the job.Thanks for your videos and God bless you and your team. ❤🙏🙏👍

Praise Him who gives us the strength to accomplish all things! Good stuff
Great job man I am impressed with the battery on that little husky
Artist with a saw, rope and knots! Nice!
I love buying from local tree guys like you and Gordy
Awesome prereqs and prayer opener. What you do is amazing 👏..!!
That guy is pretty slick with that rope, the guy with the saw ain’t bad either 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

People like that Dave guy are awesome to work with/for. Treeson also i bet is great to work with.
I knew they were squirrels from the squeal. Glad baby was ok breaks my heart
Love the prayer before the work starts! All glory to God!

He has his way of doing it and you've yours,he faired just fine.
So what your saying is you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
Also never 1 hand ever
But the peeling thing you are incorrect about I’ve seen branches peel right threw their saddle and break their backs.

You are Beast ! Good work buddy respect from Turkey
They prayed before they got busy reminds me of my granny I miss her instant sub❤
Definitely worth watching over and over.
Mad respect and admiration from Cincinnati, Ohio USA!!
I start my tree working days with prayer, an absolute necessity for me 😊
Dude has a solid pair of balls if nothing else. Much respect 💪
WOW! What a pro! they make it look easy.
What an awesome prayer. People don't do that enough and it works...
There usually one guy on the crew who keeps them as a pet. Funniest thing ever. So true dude lol
oh my god, this is so interesting , you are a brave man
God bless the man for praying! 🙏
From Canada🇨🇦! Well done:)
Love the prayer!!! 🙏 What a great guy!
Oh kool good to see you Jake ⚒️⚒️
Thank you Jake. Awesome video.
How amazing does that make you feel before even starting! Amen
I’m anxious just watching you , we don’t have trees this tall in England thankfully lol great job 👏
glad i found the video after watching the shorts. my feet was tingling the whole time im watching the video
nah the prayer was way too wholesome, what a great guy.
prayer is always good!!!!!!!!
Prayer before a job is so rad!.... Subbed!
My hands started getting sweaty when you were at the top cutting. I hate heights but enjoy your videos.
SOO COOL to see him climb and manage his way around limbs
Awesome job Jake

Got great couple of guys to work with glad to see ya doin well
Awesome job brother
Those trees are awesome!
Homeboy literally trusts a mechanism to hold his weight and life 😢😅❤
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

I used to work for Asplunhd in TN.
I did exactly what you're doing here, I miss it,so much fun swaying in the trees
The prayer was real nice. I know I subbed to the right channel. Great content 👍
Loved the prayers, it shows you care!
what a sweet man praying for you
Jake approved. Good stuff. Love
