I'm a homeowner whose been doing firewood since I was about 10. I have a small sawmill and will be getting that going soon. You're tutorials already helped me a couple times. I took down a large dangerous Beech yesterday. (40" on the but end.) I used a face cut Jed had demonstrated in your felling tutorial. With the extra wedge cut out for steering the tree. It worked out so cool! Please do keep up the tutorials. They have helped me work safer. I also enjoy this type of video of unusual different jobs, Very entertaining.
"I knew a guy without a stopper knot in the end of his rope, anyway he died" wasn't expecting that Jake! I honestly don't mind what video's you post, they're all great!
I'm a farmer that is always clearing trees along field edges. I enjoy when you explain why you are doing a particular thing. Like why you cut the bark on the sides in this video. Stay safe
I am a rock climber and landscape company owner, I loved getting to see your rigging for two man climbing like you did today! I also enjoy just the longer uncut videos where we get to see it all, starting the job, the difficulties and procedures in which you attack different jobs. Love the videos Jake, keep it up!
not much maitenence to do. take off the bar and chain, blow out all the sawdust and barchain oil sludge, clean out the whole in the bar where the oil goes in, take the top off and blow out the internals (with the choke on) and air filter. Viola.
I'm just a 75 year old homeowner who looks for excuses to fire up his Poulan Wild Thing at least once a year. I thoroughly enjoy watching you guys do your "magic". If I had to describe you guys in two words it would be "brave professionals". My wife is beginning to worry about me, however, because every time I watch your videos I tell her I wish I could be the "world's oldest tree guy"!
I own my own company and am a climber. Work in Michigan and Colorado. In Michigan we have lots of giant Silver Maples that feature enormous decay pockets that seem to fail instantaneously...when you guys climbed past the one rotten junction, I felt relieved every time you reduced the weight above and it all held. I enjoy the content you share for its diversity - there is learning to be had in all of it. Thanks
I'd like to see videos on how you and the crew, you work with, got started in tree felling? Was it just a job or something your family was a part of? Also Ask Jed if he could talk about the History of logging from his perspective. Equipment and Safety. You asked?
I'm a homeowner who moved from SF Bay Area to rural Virginia early this year. I have never felled a tree, but with the new acreage I know it'll be coming in the future. I really love the tutorial videos, but also enjoy these big job videos a ton as well. I wouldn't get much out of gear reviews, but with the number of arborists and pros commenting, I think those could be useful for your audience as well. You consistently take care to show excellent camera angles and always get the good stuff. You've also got an incredible amount of humility for your clear talent, and that's also really refreshing. I'm always happy when the notification is for Guilty of Treeson!
I am a homeowner in my late 70's and have been felling the occasional tree for firewood or to clear out an area for about 40 or more years. When I was 18 I attended a 2 week forestry camp in Northern Wisconsin and were climbing and pruning huge pines (30" plus). Didn't have the kind of gear that is now available, but it was educational and fun. Never got much higher than 50 - 60 feet, but had a ball anyway. About 18 years ago, I had two butternut trees on my property that were dying and had to take them down. I bought an Alaska chainsaw mill, and got over 400 board feet of lumber which I air dried for about 3 years and then built all new kitchen cabinets with the wood. I used red oak for face frames and the butternut I fabricated the doors. I also bought all of the saws, planers, etc. to get the work done, and have enjoyed woodworking ever since. My favorite videos are the ones where you are either climbing over 100 feet and/or felling the huge trees that grow in your area. I also have been interested in how to square file and have been watching and re-watching the videos on doing that. Thanks for all of the interesting and education videos you make, and keep them coming.
I am a homeowner living in Germany. I am from Oregon but the Army brought me here. I bought this property 7 years ago and tore down the house to build mine. The house I took down was built in the 1830s. The foundation was sand with huge logs and log framing. I cut up the logs and kept them for firewood. I got firewood for years now. But my 14" Makita ES 3200 wasnt enough to buck these logs so I just bought a Stihl MS 291. That did the trick. Researching which Stihl I was going to buy is what introduced me to your videos. And I am not disappointed.
Hi guys, I'm a home owner in the suburbs with a very small plot. I like to watch the simpler jobs so I can get an idea of how to fell some not too large trees with out destroying my neighbors yard. Great vids. I have enjoyed each and everyone I've watched. Thanks
Farmer- former tree removal company owner. I used climbing irons & harness made by a saddle maker (40 years ago). Describing your equipment, types of rope, and techniques you use are the reasons I subscribed
Jake, I'm watching your videos while being locked in a hotel room in China for 72 hours. I'm a cargo pilot fling in Asia and the stuff you guys do blows my mind... Yourself, Jed and the boys are amazing. Keep up the great content and thanks to Eastside tree works for working with you to put out great videos.
Just a busy "Mainer" & Homeowner. I would agree with Matt Jenkins, your Tutorial video's are truly great. Also when you explain what your doing and why, really helps people to learn safety and technique. Your start to finish video's, the climbing, seeing those giant Fir Trees (since most of ours have been logged).. Heck,.. All of your content is awesome! Thank you.! ~Salutations from The Great State of Maine.
great seeing a video with Jed! nice to see him doing what he loved to do. just love the slip after he cut the piece near the end. I will have to find the felling tutorial Jed demonstrated different cuts for different situations.
Love the jobs that you guys do, I am a homeowner in Rochester WA, with a lot of trees behind my house .So I keep an eye on the things, I love your videos. I'm 75 so I don't climb trees anymore. Love the work you do.
I am a log truck driver and started doing logging on the side here in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. I find all of your videos interesting and entertaining, but i do enjoy the tutorials most since they help me to become better and safer in what i do over here. Thank you for sharing your work with us and keep up the good work mein Freund!
I'm a Owner operator and have my own dump truck business up here in Alaska. I do a lot of tear out and I'm always learning a lot from you guys especially when you go into detail of cutting bucking and brushing out. I would like if you could teach more about your rigging in the trees and climbing techniques. Love what you guys do and watch to learn.
I’m a heavy equipment operator but my uncle owned a tree service I used to work at and let me tell everyone here this guy makes climbing and cuts look sooo easy lol. You are doing an awesome job keep up the great work and vids 👍🏼
Enjoyed this one. I am a homeowner but I also volunteer doing habitat restoration work. I have done a lot of cutting of honeysuckle, buckthorn, and red cedar removal. It is interesting to see big tree work on the west coast.
You guys rock!! I am tree guy, self employed, sole proprietor; mostly retired but climbing and working in the trees to sustain my lifestyle. I live in SE Alaska we have similar trees as the PNW but mostly conifers. Always enjoy your videos.
I’m a rope rescue firefighter in Spokane. Love the videos. You combine interesting jobs with tutorials by explaining what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Keep up the good work!
You guys are relaxing and great to listen to. Very positive attitudes. I am not a tree logger, just like to watch videos of something that makes my mind focus and calm down after work. Love the videos!!
You're an all around nice guy with very educational videos. I've learned so much about how to cut well and sharpen a chain from you. You've been a great help and maybe saved me from an Injury or two along the lines. Thank you!
I used to live in the Skagit Valley and dragged brush for a small local tree service. Brings back good memories watching you guys work. Thanks so much for taking us on your adventures! 😃
Former arborist/climber in Maine/New Hampshire and PNW. Still do random jobs in SE Idaho, but primarily welding now. Great to see the new tools since the time i learned to climb. My taut line hitch has yielded to the Zig Zag. I got rid of the L-Pads on my spurs and got steel and felt pads. Next upgrade is a new saddle. Great to see your competence climbing and with cranes and Jed's skill as a feller. Still haven't tried square filing my saw chains, but that might be a winter project. All videos I've seen have been useful and entertaining - keep up the great work!
I am just a home owner. I love to watch your techniques and your explanations of why you are doing it a certain way. Stay safe and keep cutting. By the way I think you’ll are way past awesome. I never seen anyone drop a tree with so much expertise. You need to know I am a grandmother who was an RN who administered anesthesia for over 30 years and make quilts for family and the sick.
That's gotta be the ground men's favorite job of the year with a "Down Only', probably don't get many of those. Love the channel ! As far as me; 62, retired commercial roofing contractor, Covid19 RUclips addict; construction, farming and now Guilty of Treeson (seen em all !). I used to be a crane operator and that 55T you have is really nice (we had 3 crane trucks, biggest was a 175' stick with a 35' fold out jib) and the work you guys have done with it is simply mesmerizing and I can't see enough of that in action. "Flying Up" to the tree top was WAY COOL DUDE ! I can see the trust you have in Brian every time you hook up for a ride. I do love a little tree work on the side and have 3 Stihl's myself. Love the West Coast laid back attitude you guys all live on too. KEEP DROPPIN EM !
Hey guys, I am a 21 year old kid trying to get into the business here in Florida. I do all around land management so mowing laws to clearing land and taking down trees. I love your informational videos.
I'm a Homeowner and I cut trees for firewood. Like so many others were I too was looking for guidance on how to cut down trees the right way. Thank you for sharing and teaching as you make the videos. I would like to see a tutorial on how to correctly cut the angle on a "Humbolt" cut. Along with the "Gap cut". I just can't seem to get that lower slice right. I'm always missing the mark. Thank you
In 1997 I cut down a fifty foot eucalyptus. I was a complete idiot in doing so. Later I had arborists removed two dead ponderous pines. Was absolutely amazed at their expertise and artistry. I've been to a gathering of arborists and again was amazed at the knowledge and training these men and women had. My hat off to you and your crew. I too love the rope and chainsaw management. Would love to know some history about you business. Thanks!
I’m a structural engineer that occasionally chops wood around our property. The very same concepts I use to design buildings are on display in your work, gravity and leverage. Good work.
I am a climber. Iv been climbing for 16 years and y'all have showed me some really great ways to take out some tuff stuff! Y'all are great keep up the good work!
I'm a homeowner and a handyman. I find these tree removals and how-to video relaxing. I have a few saw and a few times a year I get pretend I'm a lumberjack. ps I grew up on a farm and cutting trees was part of the job.
I enjoy all your content. I cut down my first large tree this summer (small for you) a 75 ft spruce that had 10 feet of rotten core at the base and only about 2 inches of solid wood all the way around. Thanks to your tutorial on the different notches it went perfectly. I used an open face notch and plunge back cut.
Not in the industry but my yard is super overgrown, so trying to learn the safety measures arborists employ but also have come to really enjoy you and Jed interacting on screen, esp love the teaching, telling stories, cutting up.
I'm in San Diego,Ca and I've been watching a lot of tree guys work around the construction site I'm on. They either don't sharpen their chains enough or don't know how because your saws just cut so much faster it's insane! They're usually working on a Torrey pine or other soft wood so I doubt it's the tree that's tough.
Been watching your channel for awhile now, IV been learning everything I can from watching you guys. So, just about anything you want to film I'm happy to watch!!!!💪🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Thanks for another great video. I'm a big fan here in the UK and have put so much of your tutorials to work with my little MS181. Last week /i took down a big old oak in the back there and would have easily had a bad accident if it was not for your words of wisdom. "Good job!" as you would say.
I'm a carpentry business owner, land owner, kinda weekend warrior tree removal and firewood cutter for friends person. I like all your content from tutorials to the interactions with the crew. I believe one of these days when y'all are old men you''ll be telling stories of swinging in the trees with chainsaws. The young folks will think you're full of it until they see these videos.
Love love love your videos... you guys are very informative and fun to watch. Keep it up. I particularly enjoy learning different cuts and their uses and knots used
Home owner. Have taken out some medium-sized trees but have to hire out the larger ones that are too big for me. Your tutorials are great, and the emphasis on safety is great. Love the variety of videos. Keep 'em coming.
I like the instructional videos. The more knowledge spread the better everyone can be! I like seeing how people do things differently than others. We can all learn from eachother. I think you and Jed are some of the best knowledgeable tree men in the trade.
Home and rancher here. Love the tutorials...actually how I found your channel...and have been a sub since. Love learning how to safely cut trees and manage my property here in mid-MO. Cheers!
Thanks man, I live a bit north of you, I've been feeding a stove 40+ yrs. Your tutorials are great. Some nice firewood in there, tough to get though! Taker easy, subbed.
I just stumbled on to your channel the other night. Literally stayed up almost all night watching your videos. I never realized how much there was to this stuff. Very interesting and cool.
U guys definitely do everything the safest. I do this in wide open forest and i never have to climb. It hurts my stomach to watch u two up there. Lol. I can't stop watching your videos though. Im learn ding
I'm an arborist and home owner from Brisbane/Ipswich Queensland Australia mate all the videos are great from sharpen a chain to how to fell tree and free cutting rotten trees and rigging is what I want to see mate thanks for sharing and I am happy to see inbred jed climbing dangerous trees
Hey mate, im looking at becoming an arborist in aus aswell, just curious as to the path you took to get into the career. did you do an apprenticeship, or just started working on the ground, or did a cert 3 without work experience? Thanks for your help
@@tatefelton8966 i work as a ground for 2 years and became a climber didn't get my certificate 3 until after 18 years would recommend an employer who is willing to train you good luck mate
Really refreshing to see young people working safely and sensibly, and relating to each other respectfully. Real professional bunch you are. Oonu gwaan kip safe and tek care, and do a good job every time.
I would say one of the most difficult things about doing tree work is finding and keeping good guys!! We are extremely grateful to have such a great team!
I am a home owner ....been. Cutting wood for 40 years. I am Brian sized so I stay on the ground. You guys are amazing. Who taught you and how did you get started? I enjoy watching you work . Seem to have fun working together. Keep it up and stay safe.
I actually do not need any of the info here, it's simply that interesting to watch. Found out about this channel via the felling tutorial and stayed for the professionalism here. Some videos are interesting due to the information, others simply because they are satisfying to watch. Good job staying alive, Jed!
Looping the climbing line over the ascender, using the flip line to grab hung up limbs. It’s the smallest things that are coolest. Great videos. I am a guy who was a climber from age 16 to about 26 in the 80’s. You guys have great gear and improved technology but the basics are the same. Stay safe.
I love watching your videos, I used to do production thinning felling radiate pines for pulp and leaving good quality trees every 6 metres, it was fun and quite challenging at times on all kinds of terrain from steep hills to flat land, but you guys are way over the top literally, I could never do what you guys do for a living, keep safe guys
I like your videos that tell a story. For example: Why it needs to be done. Challenges (Cost, terrain, regulations) . What it looked like when you started, how you did it, what tools you used to do it, what it looked like when you finished.
Im a land surveyor and it l'd like to see both tutorials and interesting jobs. We only use hand tools but some of your tips have really helped in cutting line. Thanks!
I'm a Dairy Farmer from Massachusetts and I find your videos just amazing. it reminds me of my co-workers and how we work. Your tutorials are great but I really love your job videos. so I guess I'm saying either.
Great video, the way you guys work as a team is a pleasure to watch. No bickering over my plan vs your plan kinda stuff. Keep up the great work! The only suggestion I have for you is post videos more often if you can lol. Your content is always interesting.
I love to see the full jobs. The couple of vids you did on how heavy the trees were! I like them because it shows a little bit of everything. When you were taking down that big fir in 2 parts you explain why but you also show the fun you have as a crew! See all parts of the jobs is cool! Really like the positive and fun attitude!
18 year old, love chainsaw’s and tree work started my own little company and it’s going well. Your 8 different face cut tutorial has helped me a lot!!!! But I enjoy all of your videos keep it up!!!💪🏼
Wow. Great work guys....team work. Love watching men work. MANLY MAN SALUTE TO ALL THE MUSTACHES AND BEARDS. WATCHED your big dead maple removal on the house lot. Such a geat safety feature using the crane.
Love what you're doing already. Mix of tutorial, different jobs, tool "reviews" (including the new crane). The mix of work and explanations (the "why" you're doing something a certain) keep the interest up through the whole thing. Something I haven't seen below is "knots". Not a complete video, but when you're tying one - why that knot; how do you remember how to tie it (I know repetition - but before it was memorized); why you DO NOT use certain knots or a knot that some amateur like me might think is right, but really isn't. I'm a homeowner, wood turner (so usually cutting up small versions of what your crew does in my backyard for bowl blanks), and hiker (thus the interest in knots - plus I figure climbers might like that too).
Im a homeowner. I have a friend who's an arborist and he'd do tree work for me. It always looked fun so i bought a saddle and some spikes and started climbing with him. Flash forward a year; i have a lot more gear and climb SRT most of the time. I get "uncomfortable" on trees with a lot of lean. I normally climb the back side of the lean but then have to spin around to the front side to cut and have trouble getting positioned right for the cut. I like watching your videos to see how you do it. My friend lives a couple hours away so i only get to climb with him about once a month. There's been a lot of times I'll climb and when i get up there I can't get positioned right so I'll just come back down and rethink my strategy.
Most times positioning is as simple as rotating on the branch so main line on your left instead of right or vise versa. think of making a v with line holding you back and lanyard pulling forward to lock you in place. before you go out on a limb think what way you want your main line pulling. hope that helps
Great video! Professional home owner and amateur arborist. It's nice to hear your thought process as you work and why you do some of the things you do, e.g. the bark cuts, and what gear you use, how it works, and why you chose it. Keep up the great work!
I get dizzy looking up. Ive felled some big oaks ground level. But Im a back yard feller. You guys are on another level. Good job. I have a backhoe and a 12,000 winch. It makes it easy pulling them over...
Im a homeowner with 25 acres (partially wooded) and one of the sawyers for a volunteer trail building/maintenance crew. I own a stihl 251 and recently purchased a 461 and I was hoping for a video on your saws, maybe any upgrades you've made, setup preferences, and then possibly routine maintenance you do to them. I'd find that very interesting. Cheers!
I really enjoy watching someone who takes pride in their craft. Your videos are great and I’m glad I found the channel. Could you highlight some of the climbing techniques used? I’m curious about stepping on ropes with the spikes and trusting a rotten maple as an anchor for climbing. Thanks
That was one of the scary jobs (Jed). So happy he made it out in one piece, with his life intact. That sure was a nasty, rotten,slippery tree. Awesome job crew. Stay safe,& healthy.💯👍🏾😀👏🏾🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I would like to see the job done from start to finish....ie, the cutting down of the tree right through to the woodmizer work and eventually being turned into a lovely piece of furniture.....now that WOULD make a really interesting continuity video. Regards...Rich from Reading UK.
I am an Arborist from Germany and I really enjoy watching you fell big high trees because in Germany we dont really have a lot of big trees taken down on a regular.. but in general I enjoy watching everything you Upload:) Only thing I would like to add is including a full view of the tree before it is taken down so that we get a better feel of the size of it aswell as the room that you are working with on the ground. Maybe as a drone shot:)?
What kind of videos I'd like to see: Anything you think is teaching us something. Thank you for all that you show. Even simple things. We used to have a farm when I was a kid to a young adult and we used to go for firewood every weekend to run the house fire and to clear land and maintain. Recently got back into sawing (It's great ..not enough opportunity). Really enjoy everything you guys have done. More with Jed is great too. Does he have his own channel? He should. You guys are really interesting to watch and learn from.
Crampons would have been perfect to walk along that moss-covered tree. Wow! Excellent job Jake and crew. Really glad Jed didn't break a leg or die! What would we do for entertainment without him! Great job guys!
I'm a homeowner whose been doing firewood since I was about 10. I have a small sawmill and will be getting that going soon.
You're tutorials already helped me a couple times. I took down a large dangerous Beech yesterday. (40" on the but end.)

"I knew a guy without a stopper knot in the end of his rope, anyway he died" wasn't expecting that Jake! I honestly don't mind what video's you post, they're all great!
25 meters onto concrete at least it was quick death. He was falling about 2.3 seconds
Also equipment reviews and recommendations on same subject(s), please.

Hi there, I'm just wondering what model is your zig zag on your main line
@@concon1524 🤣😂
I'm a farmer that is always clearing trees along field edges. I enjoy when you explain why you are doing a particular thing. Like why you cut the bark on the sides in this video. Stay safe

Man watching trees getting cut down is relaxing to me
Move to Brazil haha
Same here...which is weird since I’m afraid of heights 🤷🏻♂️
Doing to cutting is the best adrenaline rush u can get at least with a huge tree
Better then watching Mr.Beast plant them.
It gives me anxiety lmoa
Glad Jed was ok. Damn, that was close.
Homeowner, wanting to become an arborist. I’d love to see some more behind the seen saw/chain/bar maintenance.
not much maitenence to do. take off the bar and chain, blow out all the sawdust and barchain oil sludge, clean out the whole in the bar where the oil goes in, take the top off and blow out the internals (with the choke on) and air filter. Viola.

I love when you and Jed work together, just two professionals who respect each other bangin out jobs.

I love watching 5 brave men cleaning trees and all kind of debree off the hill side . Thanks for sharing God bless you all.
I am a homeowner in my late 70's and have been felling the occasional tree for firewood or to clear out an area for about 40 or more years. When I was 18 I attended a 2 week forestry camp in Northern Wisconsin and were climbing and pruning huge pines (30" plus). Didn't have the kind of gear that is now available, but it was educational and fun. Never got much higher than 50 - 60 feet, but had a ball anyway.
About 18 years ago, I had two butternut trees on my property that were dying and had to take them down. I bought an Alaska chainsaw mill, and got over 400 board feet of lumber which I air dried for about 3 years and then built all new kitchen cabinets with the wood. I used red oak for face frames and the butternut I fabricated the doors. I also bought all of the saws, planers, etc. to get the work done, and have enjoyed woodworking ever since.
My favorite videos are the ones where you are either climbing over 100 feet and/or felling the huge trees that grow in your area. I also have been interested in how to square file and have been watching and re-watching the videos on doing that.

You guys are relaxing and great to listen to. Very positive attitudes. I am not a tree logger, just like to watch videos of something that makes my mind focus and calm down after work. Love the videos!!
You're an all around nice guy with very educational videos. I've learned so much about how to cut well and sharpen a chain from you. You've been a great help and maybe saved me from an Injury or two along the lines. Thank you!
I used to live in the Skagit Valley and dragged brush for a small local tree service. Brings back good memories watching you guys work. Thanks so much for taking us on your adventures! 😃
Just enjoy watching what ya'll do and the banter is a big plus. Ty
Former arborist/climber in Maine/New Hampshire and PNW. Still do random jobs in SE Idaho, but primarily welding now. Great to see the new tools since the time i learned to climb. My taut line hitch has yielded to the Zig Zag. I got rid of the L-Pads on my spurs and got steel and felt pads. Next upgrade is a new saddle. Great to see your competence climbing and with cranes and Jed's skill as a feller. Still haven't tried square filing my saw chains, but that might be a winter project. All videos I've seen have been useful and entertaining - keep up the great work!
Just fascinating watching you professional guys at work! Stay safe!
Homeowner on the east coast. We don't have trees that big around here. Love watching you guys cut down trees. You do it so professionally. Great Job.
I am just a home owner. I love to watch your techniques and your explanations of why you are doing it a certain way. Stay safe and keep cutting. By the way I think you’ll are way past awesome. I never seen anyone drop a tree with so much expertise. You need to know I am a grandmother who was an RN who administered anesthesia for over 30 years and make quilts for family and the sick.
That's gotta be the ground men's favorite job of the year with a "Down Only', probably don't get many of those. Love the channel ! As far as me; 62, retired commercial roofing contractor, Covid19 RUclips addict; construction, farming and now Guilty of Treeson (seen em all !). I used to be a crane operator and that 55T you have is really nice (we had 3 crane trucks, biggest was a 175' stick with a 35' fold out jib) and the work you guys have done with it is simply mesmerizing and I can't see enough of that in action. "Flying Up" to the tree top was WAY COOL DUDE ! I can see the trust you have in Brian every time you hook up for a ride. I do love a little tree work on the side and have 3 Stihl's myself. Love the West Coast laid back attitude you guys all live on too. KEEP DROPPIN EM !
Hey guys, I am a 21 year old kid trying to get into the business here in Florida. I do all around land management so mowing laws to clearing land and taking down trees. I love your informational videos.
I'm a Homeowner and I cut trees for firewood. Like so many others were I too was looking for guidance on how to cut down trees the right way. Thank you for sharing and teaching as you make the videos. I would like to see a tutorial on how to correctly cut the angle on a "Humbolt" cut. Along with the "Gap cut". I just can't seem to get that lower slice right. I'm always missing the mark.
Thank you
In 1997 I cut down a fifty foot eucalyptus. I was a complete idiot in doing so. Later I had arborists removed two dead ponderous pines. Was absolutely amazed at their expertise and artistry. I've been to a gathering of arborists and again was amazed at the knowledge and training these men and women had. My hat off to you and your crew. I too love the rope and chainsaw management. Would love to know some history about you business. Thanks!
I’m a structural engineer that occasionally chops wood around our property. The very same concepts I use to design buildings are on display in your work, gravity and leverage. Good work.
Nice to see fresh content you guys are absolute bosses I love your work ethic and your professionalism👍👍
I am a climber. Iv been climbing for 16 years and y'all have showed me some really great ways to take out some tuff stuff! Y'all are great keep up the good work!
I'm a homeowner and a handyman. I find these tree removals and how-to video relaxing. I have a few saw and a few times a year I get pretend I'm a lumberjack. ps I grew up on a farm and cutting trees was part of the job.
I enjoy all your content. I cut down my first large tree this summer (small for you) a 75 ft spruce that had 10 feet of rotten core at the base and only about 2 inches of solid wood all the way around. Thanks to your tutorial on the different notches it went perfectly. I used an open face notch and plunge back cut.
Not in the industry but my yard is super overgrown, so trying to learn the safety measures arborists employ but also have come to really enjoy you and Jed interacting on screen, esp love the teaching, telling stories, cutting up.
Always love the videos with you and Jed.. both of you are super chill….
Homeowner and smallhold farmer. I love the whole job video's and tutorials.
I'm in San Diego,Ca and I've been watching a lot of tree guys work around the construction site I'm on. They either don't sharpen their chains enough or don't know how because your saws just cut so much faster it's insane!
They're usually working on a Torrey pine or other soft wood so I doubt it's the tree that's tough.
Been watching your channel for awhile now, IV been learning everything I can from watching you guys.
So, just about anything you want to film I'm happy to watch!!!!💪🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Your videos all are good. The felling and the tutorials are very good. Great team work.
Thanks for another great video. I'm a big fan here in the UK and have put so much of your tutorials to work with my little MS181. Last week /i took down a big old oak in the back there and would have easily had a bad accident if it was not for your words of wisdom.
"Good job!" as you would say.
I'm a carpentry business owner, land owner, kinda weekend warrior tree removal and firewood cutter for friends person. I like all your content from tutorials to the interactions with the crew.
I believe one of these days when y'all are old men you''ll be telling stories of swinging in the trees with chainsaws. The young folks will think you're full of it until they see these videos.
Love love love your videos... you guys are very informative and fun to watch. Keep it up. I particularly enjoy learning different cuts and their uses and knots used
Home owner. Have taken out some medium-sized trees but have to hire out the larger ones that are too big for me. Your tutorials are great, and the emphasis on safety is great. Love the variety of videos. Keep 'em coming.
Awesome teamwork And it's a joy to watch a couple of guys who know what they're doing.
I like the instructional videos. The more knowledge spread the better everyone can be! I like seeing how people do things differently than others. We can all learn from eachother. I think you and Jed are some of the best knowledgeable tree men in the trade.
Watching you & Jed swinging around in that sad old maple was great teamwork. Conbgrats, guys.
Home and rancher here. Love the tutorials...actually how I found your channel...and have been a sub since. Love learning how to safely cut trees and manage my property here in mid-MO. Cheers!
Thanks man, I live a bit north of you, I've been feeding a stove 40+ yrs. Your tutorials are great. Some nice firewood in there, tough to get though! Taker easy, subbed.
I just stumbled on to your channel the other night. Literally stayed up almost all night watching your videos. I never realized how much there was to this stuff. Very interesting and cool.
Jeds saw sounds awesome👍
Cool personalized cloggers!
Great work fellers.
STAY SAFE
U guys definitely do everything the safest. I do this in wide open forest and i never have to climb. It hurts my stomach to watch u two up there. Lol. I can't stop watching your videos though. Im learn ding
I'm an arborist and home owner from Brisbane/Ipswich Queensland Australia mate all the videos are great from sharpen a chain to how to fell tree and free cutting rotten trees and rigging is what I want to see mate thanks for sharing and I am happy to see inbred jed climbing dangerous trees
Hey mate, im looking at becoming an arborist in aus aswell, just curious as to the path you took to get into the career. did you do an apprenticeship, or just started working on the ground, or did a cert 3 without work experience? Thanks for your help
@@tatefelton8966 i work as a ground for 2 years and became a climber didn't get my certificate 3 until after 18 years would recommend an employer who is willing to train you good luck mate
Really refreshing to see young people working safely and sensibly, and relating to each other respectfully. Real professional bunch you are. Oonu gwaan kip safe and tek care, and do a good job every time.
Enjoy all the topics you include in your videos, please keep them coming.
Great stuff,
Mike from Stamford ,England.
love these videos, a great group of guys and its so hard to find decent people nowadays !!!
I would say one of the most difficult things about doing tree work is finding and keeping good guys!! We are extremely grateful to have such a great team!
I am a home owner ....been. Cutting wood for 40 years. I am Brian sized so I stay on the ground. You guys are amazing. Who taught you and how did you get started? I enjoy watching you work . Seem to have fun working together. Keep it up and stay safe.
I actually do not need any of the info here, it's simply that interesting to watch. Found out about this channel via the felling tutorial and stayed for the professionalism here. Some videos are interesting due to the information, others simply because they are satisfying to watch.
Good job staying alive, Jed!
Looping the climbing line over the ascender, using the flip line to grab hung up limbs. It’s the smallest things that are coolest. Great videos. I am a guy who was a climber from age 16 to about 26 in the 80’s. You guys have great gear and improved technology but the basics are the same. Stay safe.
I love watching your videos, I used to do production thinning felling radiate pines for pulp and leaving good quality trees every 6 metres, it was fun and quite challenging at times on all kinds of terrain from steep hills to flat land, but you guys are way over the top literally, I could never do what you guys do for a living, keep safe guys
I like your videos that tell a story. For example: Why it needs to be done. Challenges (Cost, terrain, regulations) . What it looked like when you started, how you did it, what tools you used to do it, what it looked like when you finished.
Im a land surveyor and it l'd like to see both tutorials and interesting jobs. We only use hand tools but some of your tips have really helped in cutting line. Thanks!
I'm a Dairy Farmer from Massachusetts and I find your videos just amazing. it reminds me of my co-workers and how we work. Your tutorials are great but I really love your job videos. so I guess I'm saying either.
Great video, the way you guys work as a team is a pleasure to watch. No bickering over my plan vs your plan kinda stuff. Keep up the great work!
The only suggestion I have for you is post videos more often if you can lol. Your content is always interesting.
I love to see the full jobs. The couple of vids you did on how heavy the trees were! I like them because it shows a little bit of everything. When you were taking down that big fir in 2 parts you explain why but you also show the fun you have as a crew! See all parts of the jobs is cool! Really like the positive and fun attitude!
18 year old, love chainsaw’s and tree work started my own little company and it’s going well. Your 8 different face cut tutorial has helped me a lot!!!! But I enjoy all of your videos keep it up!!!💪🏼
Watching these makes me have much more respect for this type of job
Cabinet maker / sawyer (tree under 24”). I am too old to be an arborist but I have learned so much from your felling videos.
Wow. Great work guys....team work. Love watching men work. MANLY MAN SALUTE TO ALL THE MUSTACHES AND BEARDS. WATCHED your big dead maple removal on the house lot. Such a geat safety feature using the crane.
Love what you're doing already. Mix of tutorial, different jobs, tool "reviews" (including the new crane). The mix of work and explanations (the "why" you're doing something a certain) keep the interest up through the whole thing.
Something I haven't seen below is "knots". Not a complete video, but when you're tying one - why that knot; how do you remember how to tie it (I know repetition - but before it was memorized); why you DO NOT use certain knots or a knot that some amateur like me might think is right, but really isn't.
I'm a homeowner, wood turner (so usually cutting up small versions of what your crew does in my backyard for bowl blanks), and hiker (thus the interest in knots - plus I figure climbers might like that too).
Thank you so much for these videos. I'm a climber up in Skagit County and watching these always act as good visual references for me.
Im a homeowner. I have a friend who's an arborist and he'd do tree work for me. It always looked fun so i bought a saddle and some spikes and started climbing with him. Flash forward a year; i have a lot more gear and climb SRT most of the time. I get "uncomfortable" on trees with a lot of lean. I normally climb the back side of the lean but then have to spin around to the front side to cut and have trouble getting positioned right for the cut. I like watching your videos to see how you do it. My friend lives a couple hours away so i only get to climb with him about once a month. There's been a lot of times I'll climb and when i get up there I can't get positioned right so I'll just come back down and rethink my strategy.
Most times positioning is as simple as rotating on the branch so main line on your left instead of right or vise versa. think of making a v with line holding you back and lanyard pulling forward to lock you in place. before you go out on a limb think what way you want your main line pulling. hope that helps
Every day's a school day for me!! You post it,, I'll watch it and I will more than likely learn something it !!! Cheers guys
Great video! Professional home owner and amateur arborist. It's nice to hear your thought process as you work and why you do some of the things you do, e.g. the bark cuts, and what gear you use, how it works, and why you chose it. Keep up the great work!
I get dizzy looking up. Ive felled some big oaks ground level. But Im a back yard feller. You guys are on another level. Good job. I have a backhoe and a 12,000 winch. It makes it easy pulling them over...
Im a homeowner with 25 acres (partially wooded) and one of the sawyers for a volunteer trail building/maintenance crew. I own a stihl 251 and recently purchased a 461 and I was hoping for a video on your saws, maybe any upgrades you've made, setup preferences, and then possibly routine maintenance you do to them. I'd find that very interesting. Cheers!
I really enjoy watching someone who takes pride in their craft. Your videos are great and I’m glad I found the channel. Could you highlight some of the climbing techniques used? I’m curious about stepping on ropes with the spikes and trusting a rotten maple as an anchor for climbing.
Thanks
Part time tree climber. Totally appreciate your tutorials I try to learn all I can thanks for posting I know you guys are slammed busy
That was one of the scary jobs (Jed). So happy he made it out in one piece, with his life intact. That sure was a nasty, rotten,slippery tree. Awesome job crew. Stay safe,& healthy.💯👍🏾😀👏🏾🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Dude, you guys are amazing. Anything you post is cool
I would like to see the job done from start to finish....ie, the cutting down of the tree right through to the woodmizer work and eventually being turned into a lovely piece of furniture.....now that WOULD make a really interesting continuity video.
Regards...Rich from Reading UK.
I am an Arborist from Germany and I really enjoy watching you fell big high trees because in Germany we dont really have a lot of big trees taken down on a regular.. but in general I enjoy watching everything you Upload:) Only thing I would like to add is including a full view of the tree before it is taken down so that we get a better feel of the size of it aswell as the room that you are working with on the ground. Maybe as a drone shot:)?
What kind of videos I'd like to see: Anything you think is teaching us something. Thank you for all that you show. Even simple things. We used to have a farm when I was a kid to a young adult and we used to go for firewood every weekend to run the house fire and to clear land and maintain. Recently got back into sawing (It's great ..not enough opportunity). Really enjoy everything you guys have done. More with Jed is great too. Does he have his own channel? He should. You guys are really interesting to watch and learn from.
Crampons would have been perfect to walk along that moss-covered tree. Wow! Excellent job Jake and crew. Really glad Jed didn't break a leg or die! What would we do for entertainment without him! Great job guys!
