    From the web: "Trema Orientalis (charcoal tree, gunpowder tree, peach cedar): An invasive tree that is native to Asia. Trema orientalis, commonly known as the gunpowder tree, was introduced to Hawai’i before 1870. Historically, the wood was used for fireworks and gun powder, hence the common name."

      Extremely wet wood.
      I was fascinated at how it rained preety much every single day in Maui while I had the pleasure of visiting. Everything was always wet. Trees are extremely tough to stand up to all the wind and rain.
      I have also found that in my part of the country cutting a tree in the spring after the snow is gone and spring rains are on, it takes a lot of extra effort vs waiting until august when we haven't had rain in a month.

    Here in TX we have wild grape vines and they can become absolutely massive. The largest single vine I've seen was over 2 ft in diameter and had overtaken a mot of 15 or 20 Post Oaks. Luckily the vines grow slow enough that most trees are able to support the weight as they grow together.

      The grapes that grow here were spread from vineyards (by birds mostly).
      I've tried them several times, and they're not nearly as sweet as store bought. I'm not sure if this is because the soil conditions aren't the same as a cultivated plant, or maybe those wine grapes just aren't the same as the food variety.

When you get his (big) saw when you are in the tree with Jed you ask him if he likes the chain configuration which is on that saw. Is it possible for you to make make an episode about different types of chains/blades, chainsaw dog etc. I’m pretty new in the chainsaw community and since 2 or 3 months I’m addicted to your channel.

Sorry, don't know the name for it. I know you can die falling of the roof of the house. Whats the safety record for those that do your work? Great vids. Keep 'em coming.Watching from Oxfordshire in UK. Only excitement in my garden is cutting the grass......

    • @leftyeh6495
      @leftyeh6495 2 года назад +1

      The "flip line" that he uses to climb has a steel wire inside so you can't cut it without trying really, really hard. Also notice that a lot of times he will have a support line for safety, that he has to let rope out as he climbs down and takes up as he climbs up.
      Some of the other videos where he's being dropped from a crane showcase it very well. Always 2 attachment methods when possible.
      And yes, I believe the most deaths from falling are from a 6' ladder. So it's easy to get hurt falling even short distances. Just do everything possible to not fall.

    Changing your day-to-day up can be a big help. Many years ago in the '70s I was foreman for a crew of eight negative strippers in a printing plant and we were all working very solid 40-hour weeks when I had an idea, took it to management after vetting it with the boys and re-scheduled the 40-hours from five eight-hour days to four 10-hour days. Then slid the working days for the crews towards the beginnings and the ends of weeks alternately.
    Result? Job hours were 10 on days Mon to Thursday followed by a week of Tuesday to Friday.
    I had full crew on the three heaviest production days T-W-T and the guys got alternating two day weekend and four day weekends so every second weekend was guaranteed to be a four-day weekend with chill time for whatever they wanted to do, camp, fish, ski, Skidoo ( this is in Ontario, Canada ) or whatever and call-ins were iron-bound not allowed by anybody including management. And I started each week with a happy crew with a good Lead Hand.
    Me? I took the same hours as one of the crews and I was the one that got the day-off calls. Not many of those, though because my Lead Hands were experienced.
    The change in the crew was immediately felt because the two extra hours a day were nothing, the pace we were moving at but the resulting 4-day weekends meant I always had a draft of laid-back crew every week and we always crushed it on the heavy middle days.
    They boys loved it: The least they would get would be a normal weekend but the second weekend was always 4 days long.
    Not as good as vacationing away once a year but it made a visible difference in crew attitude and our production levels went up to a higher level and stayed there. No idea if they kept the set-up after I left.
    Yeah, a decent break is a good thing to have to look forward to and as the man said it lets you see things from a different perspective.
