    The industry I worked in for 40 years didn't allow us to wear our wedding rings. Then we merged with another company and they didn't care, but I was so used to not wearing mine, I never changed. It simply wasn't a good idea to have something that could get hooked on something and rip your finger off. Also, I love the conversations you have with the ground guy. You guys are professionals and to be able to do your job and still have a good time talking while doing the work is awesome. You do your work very safely!

      I had my index finger degloved, not from a wedding ring but it's the same result. That was 2020, it's still getting the feeling back after they put it back together.
      (Edit) I've also never been married or engaged and almost lost 4 fingers, 2 on each hand. Shake hands with danger & you'll be singing the blues.

    Aside from some quick assists on a farm, I've never really used a chainsaw. The lady my wife and I live with and assist with the house just bought me a Husqvarna 460 (after doing a boatload of research myself) with both a 18" and 24" bar and spare chains.
    While there's no replacement for experience, I've been watching a lot of your videos along with others, and just being able to see you and the crew tackling multiple different challenges is so informative, and gives me a base of professional knowledge to pick up from.
    I feel comfortable that I can tackle the simple stuff in our yard, and at least moderately comfortable that when I get asked to help out with the pines and birch out at the farm that I won't be an utter novice.
    Thank you for sharing your work!

    I was laughing at the wedding ring talk! My husband has lost 3 rings. We were broke when we got married so his ring was just a cheap one. When we got in a better situation, he bought an expensive one. It was stolen. He replaced it. Stolen. Replaced it again, lost it. He now still wears the cheap ring when he goes somewhere. He doesn't wear it to work as he is an electrician. My rings? I still have the same set. They're too small now, so I don't wear them. A ring is just a symbol. Trust, faith, and communication is the key to a good marriage. We were the couple that no one thought would make it and it's been 20 years now!

      London plane tree and sycamore are similar-looking trees that have exfoliating bark and lobed leaves. However, some differences between them are:
      London plane tree is more resistant to Anthracnose and more common in big cities, while sycamore is more native to bottomlands and streams in the Eastern United States.
      London plane tree has fuzzy spherical fruits in pairs, while sycamore has single fruits.
      London plane tree has deeper sinuses (gaps) between the leaf lobes than sycamore.

    You are so lucky. I saw it touch the wire. I was roping for my boss like 20 years ago and he cut a top out,a double leader about 35 or 40ft. And as soon as the top fell and 45° straight out it touch the top wire and he had his hand on the butt preparing to sling ,as to miss the metal shed below. But he let out a horrible creepy scream right after the limb made this brrrrrgp sound which was so load. I thought seriously his hands had to be blown to bits,but he didnt grip the tree it was leaving his hands when it touched the line. Dude i was all shook up. He was like dangling and freaking out screaming ,i froze me up for a second. But he recovered and was able to get out the tree and onto the house. Were he sat and just shook for like 30 mins.
    But yeah you are so lucky.. always trust your gut.. you called it from the start. You said they looked close.. you was right.. dont let the ground men tell you shit.. your up their,they are down there..
    ive been climbing and cutting 30 years.
    One day your gunna look at this job on a whole other level. If you stay in it you got a long way to go. But im cheering for ya. You kinda remind me of me. I could always be put into a good mood after cutting with a sharp saw.. i still love that feel. And the sound. I 100% have sap running thru my veins.. there is no other job that can compare to tree work. And i was worked like a slave the first 10 years. But im so glad they did what they did. It made me feel like a warrior.
    You know i just was looking at some of my old stuff and i found my 2004 SHERRILL TREE MAGAZINE...TIME IS MOVING SO FAST. I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO THEM DAYS. SUCH A GREAT TIME IT WAS..LIFE GIVES US THIS ONE SHOT. I HOPE IVE MADE A DIFFERANCE..
    THANKS FOR POSTING ,,
    START PAYING MORE ATTENTION.. THERE IS NO TREE WORTH LOSING YOUR LIFE OVER. DONT EVER LET YOUR PRIDE GET TO ENVOLED. ITS VERY DEADLY AROUND A TREE CITE/ JOB...THANKS AGAIN FOR UPLOAD, GREAT JOB..

    Great video! I was wondering how much of a ride that was going to be when you made the cut at 24:36 :)
