  • I had less than one year experience doing these types of jobs. I wasn't aware of SRT, DRT. All the gear to make these jobs a lot SAFER!
    I'm aware of all the mistakes I've made, and the groundsmen for not having helmets. Ive come a long way, but even till this day, I'm learning every day. Reading, watching, and actually doing this every day.
    Any comments, tips, or suggestions please let me know in the comments

    I have to climb tall ladders while working on elevators and have had to climb up and walk on tall silos in the past as a job requirement. I respect heights but when I feel safe I can concentrate on work. I have to say this looks terrifying as hell. 30+ feet on a ladder is hardcore. This tree was over-pruned btw. I can see why you mentioned this was prior to being more experienced. Good stuff though. I've met many people that get shaky while climbing a 6-foot ladder lol.

      I was very scared. But I knew once I tied my self with my flipline I’d be fine.
      Here in Vegas, even if you educate the client about over pruning a palm, they “don’t care” 😅 thank you for watching

    Hey Mr Benitez I’m going to be doing this for a friend of mine this week . It would be my first time ever climbing a palm tree . It seems rather straight forward but do you have any other tips or suggestions? I’m more worried about coming back down rather than the climb up

    I like using my had saw at first to make the cut s around my flip line while I get settled in to the palm and after in double tied in I let it have it with the saw it helps out not to Nick the flip line keep up the good work man 👊🏽👍🏽

      @@mr.benitezhimself very cool man shop Craigslist and eBay that's were I got most of my 200t I wouldn't spend more then 400 on one because it's almost guaranteed that the carburetor will be bad and the cylinder and piston so I would just make the assumption when you're looking at whatever saw that you're going to have to invest in a new carburetor and motor cylinder and piston kit is about 200 and a new carburetor is under a hundred that's my advice man I feel like most of the deals on eBay are just rip offs but every once in a while there is a good deal I'll be honest I don't know a lot about chainsaws but I do have experience in buying them off eBay and repairing them myself but I am not a professional by any means just a tree guy that puts the 200 t work lol 😆😂 another thing too is that some of the chainsaws you see on eBay might look nice and good deal but odds are they are full of china made parts
