Well Spence,the Binge watching of your channel has influenced me, went next door to my elderly neighbors and trimmed about 10 small branches starting to block their stairway,,,They tried to pay me and I said maybe next time and left,they were so happy,,felt good😂❤
Nothing feels quite as good as helping someone out like that! great to hear :)
That tree was ready to capitalize on any human error. I can definitely appreciate the no excuses, get it done regardless approach. Great content
I like how you phrase that ... it was one where when you get back down you breathe a sigh of relief
All done before the ground crew got there again! That tree bounce wow! Thanks for making us the video!
Big bounce! I'm glad I was outta there by the time it hit the trampoline :)
That bounce is a perfect example of why an escape route is important. I used to catch poison ivy in the winter when i got sawdust in my gloves
You said it man: ya never know what those trees are gonna do next. I started using some poison ivy soap each day after work and it seems to help (usually)
I'm glad the truck made it out. Nothing more frustrating than spending a bunch of time loading to just have to unload again....been there, done that!
Yeah I had this fantasy of having to back up and dump everything over the edge into the lake :)
Again another great video on how you took down the cottonwood tree, not necessarily a how to video. Love it keep putting out content. Look forward to metaspencer videos as they appear.
Thanks for the encouragement man! good to hear from ya :)
Glad to see the ground crew is back😂!
absolutely! haha
Braver man then menot sure I would have climbed that . Nice work time to get a grapple bucket for that new machine.
yeah well might not have been bravery but ... stupidity? was definitely a sketchy climb
Love it. I appreciate the real emotion when the chipper crew is in earshot. Always enjoy watching your videos. Well done my friend. By the way…we move to Tennessee. Much more trees here than SoCal
Tennessee! I’ve heard from a few others who’ve moved there recently. Good stuff!
Spence you are a ton of fun to watch, and and inspiration to me. You always make me laugh and i love your content. Keep it up.
big thanks!
I’m impressed with your composure! Another great video
Big thanks!
Man, that tree was coming for you with that bounce. Looked angry.
you said it! I'm glad I was far away by the time it crashed down ... ya never know how they'll react
The worse case of Poison Ivy I ever got was standing in the smoke of a spring campfire to ward off the insects. Apparently the firewood was covered in Ivy, but no leaves so we didn't know. I eventually had to go to the ER to get shots. Old calamine lotion wasn't touching it. I didn't know that it made such huge vines like what you just showed us. Thanks for sharing.
wow that sounds like a nightmare case of poison ivy! I'm glad you survived
I know the feeling .I do same loading cutting trailer techniques..only don't have dump trailer mainly dint think my trucks can pull one loaded so I put a chain on bottom of the trailer then wrap it over like burrito 🌯..hook 25ft 3 strand and pull away at dump .works 97 percent of time unless it gets hooked or something...I get frustrated when big company's have chippers and 10 guys next door or across street .if i wasn't so hurt wounded with health issues wouldn't bother me but it seriously does.
Sounds like you've got a good system! Gotta get the work done out there and keep pressing on :) hang in there buddy
the ground crew done well. i also happened to cut my hair to your style day before yesterday so great minds think alike... and fools never differ... good job with that tree dude, I would never have gone up a leaner like that... no way.
Wild hair cuts abound! sometimes ya gotta roll outside the box a little :)
Another good video! That lean was impressive
Thanks buddy!
Nice one! That was a big bounce. I hate the leaners that are almost horizontal and you feel like you have to walk on top of it without being tied in.
yeah you said it: the feeling of walking up the leaner never feels right to me
@@metaspencer Yeah!
My arms are just starting to heal up from the poison ivy I caught a few days ago. Luckily it wasn't too bad this time, just a few little spots, don't know what I'd do without my calamine lotion. 🤙
hang in man! dunno if you've used this stuff amzn.to/45lF0bN ... but I've been washing with it after working near poison ivy and it seems to help. takes off the oils.
nice skid steer
yah it's been pretty good so far
❤️👍👍👍
Great job felling the leaning tree and your chain looks a bit loose on your chainsaw just for a bit of safety 😎👍
yeah you said it: got super loose by the end of that one. didn't fall off tho so it must have been my lucky day :)
You going to get a grapple for that skid? Looks like a nice one. I got a quote on a bobcat MT100 and it’s pretty pricey.
Awesome video as always!
I've got a grapple on order but it's taking forever to come in ... definitely looking forward to it!
I always get poison ivy bad but this year I was cutting an old ash (actually I mentioned it to you a while back!) and I had gone up one side but my lanyard got stuck climbing down the other and I basically got stuck against the vine. It got on my face and I needed a 20 day course of steroids! My eye wouldn't open for 4 days :D my goodness you're climbing on it!! are you immune?
Oh man, that sounds SOOOOO bad. Wow! I've never had it that bad thank goodness. I dunno if you use this stuff amzn.to/45lF0bN but I wash with it like crazy after working in the poison ivy and it seems to help keep the itch away. Glad you survived on those roids!
If you're not aware, jewelweed is the natural antidote for the urishiol oil in poison ivy, oak and sumac. It works great. You can buy jewelweed infused soap. I harvest my own to make a salve because I'm allergic and well I just can't seem to avoid poison ivy as much as I'd like to 🤷♂️
Dang, I've never heard of it! I've used poison ivy soap but will pick up some jewelweed ... I had about 3 cases of poison ivy this summer so I'm definitely tired of it. thanks man
@@metaspencer Only 3 cases means you mitigate it well!,You're welcome.
Good job brother, hope you didn't get any of that poison ivy on you yeah I noticed the ground crew didn't show up again today. It is hard to get reliable ground crew today, LOL.
Anywho brother take care and may Father YHVH bless y'all.
Good hearing from ya buddy
Hey enjoy your videos and humor I was jus wondering where you dump all that brush?
our city takes brush by the pound at the central dump/transfer center ... not cheap but it works. hardwood logs go in our firewood stash
At least with this tree you were able to quickly reduce weight on the way up. My friend has some sort of pine tree that is leaning harder than this. Not much for branches and only the main trunk/spar. I'll have to be careful when cutting out the top so I don't split the tree and/or go for a ride. Might have to set up climb lines two trees on either side.
If there is any chance you can get a rope up high in that leaner and support it from high in another tree, that would be ideal. Another thing I usually do is set a high rope in the leaner and see how much it bounces when hanging on and shock loading that rope. Always good to know BEFORE you climb :)
@@metaspencer Good point to test the response of the tree by shock loading it as much as I can, before climbing. I'll have to see if I can set up a rigging line in a neighboring tree. That way I am only unloading the leaner and not the combo of unloading then shock loading. Regardless, it should be fun solving the problem and getting to it. I'll have to be careful when cutting the top out so the trunk doesn't split. Thanks for your input.
Super great job.
I don’t like the leaners. Man you need to have a talk with that grind crew.
Waiting for the next job.
yeah this one was a big relief to get on the ground ... the kind of tree ya get on your calendar and just worry about nonstop until it's done
Nice job. What climbing rope is that. My guess Samson biohazard . How do you like it and how does it do in mechanicals? Thanks
It's a pretty soft rope with a high bend radius (squish), and it runs well on my unicender. It's a pelican rope this one: amzn.to/3tiGHt8
Nice job Spencer as always have you thought about getting a grapple for your mini
I’ve got one on order … can’t wait!
@@metaspencer 👌
And the after action report on the poison Ivy is.....??????? My wife lives in terror of that stuff. I get my ass chewed when we take jobs anywhere near poison ivy. Good vid. Great warning on the bounce!
Didn't get an poison ivy itching blisters ... phew! But I had it for most of the summer the dang stuff if everywhere out here
So Spencer, did you get any poison ivy from climbing that tree?
Not a bit! My lucky day
I'm leaning towards 34.8 degrees
sounds toasty!
#200tlife!
Nah 2511 Jeff! i'm only saying this until I get one. the 355t doesn't really do it for me for some reason. Maybe I dont't have the tune right yet.
I may have landed a second 200t ... great saws
Getting it done with the dry humour (ok, humor, if ye insist) 😁👍
I insist! haha ... thanks man
@@metaspencer Stubborn AND corrupted 🙄 ...🤣😜😃 Be well. ✌ Mark
So those hairy looking vines that are velcro'ed to trees...that is either poison ivy or english ivy? I'm in TN. I have to get better at identifying it. For my life thus far I've never paid attention except last year I cut down a neighbor's tree and I got ivy-infused sawdust all over my arms. I blistered up real good and it eventually started popping up around other parts of my body. So now I do better at cleaning up afterwards.
I try to wash with poison ivy soaps after encounters like that, and it USUALLY helps out ... dang stuff is awful
I had the worst case of poison ivy this summer ever...
Duuuuuude, sounds rough. I had it all summer, but just some small patches. Have you tried this stuff? amzn.to/45lF0bN I wash like heck with it after contacting poison ivy and it seems to help avoid the itchy rash
I'm not entirely sure that was poison ivy, as there are English ivy leaves right beside it, and the vines look very similar. If it is poison ivy, it was a terrible idea to eat your lunch with your gloves on. Let us know how you're doing in a week, please.
no outbreak on the face, tongue, or otherwise ... so I got off lucky! phew.... cuz I'm super allergic to the stuff
