    Okay, I read most of the comments. Everyone is together on the fact they enjoyed this informative video. Now as an Arborist for the last 51 years, I do something most tree people don't do, I talk my clients into not taking the tree/ trees down. I propose reductions, aeration, cabling etc. There is in most cases many ways to allow the tree to continue to live. That is one of my skills along with doing as we see in this video, take trees down in extremely tight locations. It is interesting that 95% of the instruction videos are on how to do trees is how to take them down. Quick money comes into play. Tree workers like that so down she comes. In the area where I live and practice my skills, the newer tree outfits come along with state of the art tree removal equipment that allows them to work super fast. Profit first, fuck the tree, I got pay off my loans for the crane, super chipper, Bucket truck, a logging truck and over priced rock climbing equipment. What has been happening here in the Hudson Valley the last 20 years is thousands of green health trees of many species have been taken down simply for profit. Now we see less trees in the villages and towns etc. You would think we are in Oregon next to a logging Forrest ready to harvest. One little lesson here, I have clients I work for every season for years. I work on the same trees year after year, making profit on preserving year after year. One tree for example has made me the same money to take it down, except it keeps delivering revenue alive. Get the point?

      Commendable judgement , however just curious , were there any instances where the client's revised plan led to unsuitable outcomes for either party .

    Love what you guys do!
    It was my dream to do tree work for the longest time.
    We hired a tree service to come take down some big dangerous trees on my dads property, and i talked to a few of the guys and asked them for a job.
    I was hired on the spot and went to work the next morning. We were short some hands so it was alot of work on the 3 of us ground guys.
    But it was alot of fun and got to see some amazing properties and views.
    Unfortunately, i only lasted 3 weeks and badly hurt my back on the job.
    Couldn't even drive myself home.
    Went to the ER and got a steroid shot in my back.
    I was really sad because my dream was over so fast.. 3 weeks and boom, my back went out.
    Ive been doing physical therapy for over a year now and plan to get back onto the horse someday soon.
    I am really proud of myself though.
    I wanted to be the best damn ground man there ever was lol
    Even the guys i worked with told me i was the best new guy they've hired in a long time.
    I busted my ass and loved the people i got to work with.
    I have so much respect and admiration for all you tree folk.

    You are correct to keep both hands on the saw. I was trimming a palm tree and used my left hand to push the frond. Right after I cut the frond and pushing at the same time, the saw came down on my left index finger and tore my glove open. Thankfully that's all the damage there was. My finger got what you would call a "paper cut" from the saw. Major lesson learned that day. Not today.

    amazing tips August ! love your vids and demeanor. I have one tip for you from arborist to arborist. when you wanna cheat the cut and follow through and try and get the limb to fall flat . Cut on a more vertical plane so the holding wood is vertical for the 1st half of the cut then when you follow through there's less wood for you to cut at the end. I know its hard to explain without visual representation but I feel you would understand lol . Thank you for all your advice. Oh and I'm sure you already do this or know this or just do this naturally lol most of the cutting techniques we adapt are such subtle nuances.

    I’ve done this more than once and it’s not “dodgy” as long as you don’t take too much wood with the face cut, but you surely don’t want to fell a tree that way either, and especially when you consider that you’re cutting your weight in brush and stubs on your way up before you even get to the limbs that are bound up in the other tree. I would say that climbing a dead tree is much more dodgy and you have much less stability in the spar, especially at the base than just taking a bade out of the tree. Just my long winded two cents that’s worth even less but I’m bored and this is another great one worthy of a comment by Mr. Monkey Beaver himself 💪

    I just wonder, you have good wood there, and only spruce/fir tree is some good to industry, OK but why? Here in Finland, if you have only little, you have to find someone, who only needs one log, and get it themself. or make it for firewood, and sell it as ready to burn size pieses, for stove or firepit on backyard, here in Finland it goes round 60 euros per cubic meter, like mixed wood, not solid wood, but stacked as clap`s, you know. Here it is normally about 33 sentimeters long, small country, smaller fireplaces

    Good morning August. Gravity is fast. Wanna see? hold a dollar bill straight up and down, dangling it by the end. Have Damien or someone hold their fingers right over washingtons head as though they are going to pinch the dollar bill. you let go of the end of the dollar bill and they try to close their fingers quick enough to catch it. seems easy, but the reaction time from seeing you let go to telling your had to pinch the dollar bill takes longer than it does for gravity to pull the bill down out of pinch. : ) George.
