I don't believe any of us who don't do this kind of work could ever truly know what all has to take place in order to do a job of this magnitude from the pre-job meetings until the stump is at ground level. I can only imagine how extremely mentally and physically exhausting it is. I tip my hat to all who were involved on this job to get done and to do it safely. Truly amazing boys. Stay safe and God bless.
Truly takes a team, climber and guy running the rope need to know exactly the cuts to make and the raps on porter rap. Guy on rope could easily kill climber if he made a mistake. This crew is spot on top notch tree guys rite here. Fact they pray before every job is amazing and to me a guy who does this daily for last 33 years. My take away from video is these guys are truly men to be admired and celebrated.
It’s rewarding and I like it. I’ve had many jobs and they all sucked. This job has a few moments that are as uncomfortable as it is dangerous. But over all, the rewards outweigh the risks. High risk high reward.
I’m a climber too, and I appreciate your step by step instructions on why and what you are doing as far as rigging and climbing, it helps me when I am in those situations here in Hawaii, we have lots of big eucalyptus trees here in the Big Island 🤙👏🙏
Yet again, nailed by you and the crew. Wood heavier than meteorite and only just stopping short of hitting clouds ☁️! Bloody Husky 3120, had one, used it a few times up top....hated it. Poor starting bastard most times . Absolutely loved the lunch scene, totally felt it. Wish I had your youth again....but not sure I ever had your skills.
@Stephen Tree, You wouldn't be bitchin' if you got to run my 3120. I got it about 1998, and had it fully woods modded in 2002. It starts easily, and is likely pulling over 13 horsepower. You can see in action here in my old vid which has "Squeeze Play" included. ruclips.net/video/L2wMdGPEPfc/видео.html
What a skilled job this is! Bro I love my small european trees, I would never ever want to do stuff this big, just must be sooo energy draining really. GOod job
Astonishing work in the Stratosphere Harry, your team mates on earth are equally as awesome. Is that a Stihl Ms 400C up there with you, love those saws, beautiful sound, my buddy put a bark box on his, no great improvement, sounded like a 19 60s Homelite, no interest in that Codology, Stihl MS 400C, How Sweet The Sound, l have just subscribed, God Bless and Protect You and your Crew Always, Greeting from Ireland !!!
good work! when you were high on the second trunk with a relative flat line angle, i would've used a second lanyard or rope. would've sucked slamming into the main trunk :) also your loading the nose of the carabiners and not the spine. also, have you watched lawrence schultz "3 tie ins while rigging big stem wood"? makes life easier, especially with a 3120 on your harness.. greetings
I admire your fitness and ability Harry.people dont know what it takes to hold a 3120 in the air for even a couple of minutes at a time .great work from a former climber and feller .as well to all your groundies ,behind all good climbers is a great team of people .
True....it was always a sore day when I needed to use my 440 magnum sthil to chunk down wood....the extra weight hurts everywhere from your feet to wrists
@@troymeredith9528 - After climbing and rigging down a tree like this, does the climber have to then be the guy bucking the log??? That sounds obscene.
Great job buddy as always just a little tip that help me out when I have a block set another tree just in case the rope would go back up to the block and I have to climb the whole way back up to get it I will tie a line on that line in the middle just in case it does happen to get free a guy on the ground can still swing it over to me or tie it back on to my line just a free hanging rope God bless buddy
Great job guys. Hey you guys should do a lot more shorts, your subscribers would go way up. The value of the shorts are the subscribers. Keep up the great work. And keep the faith! Merry Christmas.
Would be great to see some of the setup on the ground too. There are very few videos showing the number of wraps to take on the port-a-wrap or what the groundie does to make a nice catch. I'm sure every climber would appreciate better catches on tall stems.
Good stuff bet ya had ya fingers crossed for the bounce and 14:55,that would suck if it flicked over to the house with a crappy bounce but he flat landed it like a sniper 👌 cool to watch
Love your RUclips channel, you are an awesome climber 👏 I think that I love and hate climbing all in one as it’s terrifying but so rewarding as you have been places where very few people have been and it’s such a thrill of the unknown because when you are up 60 feet and above it’s life and death that keeps us focused. How do you other climbers feel about climbing?
Nerves of steel! The first time my youngest son pulled a top over for me he started before I was finished cutting. Yeah, so it was "spring" loaded. Then once it came off I was off to the rodeo, with a running chainsaw! Nerves of steel. At least we'll act like it, huh. Lol
What saw clip are you using on your saddle? I love how calm you are all the time, this job can be terrifying and if you let your mind wander from the job directly in front of you its easy to freeze up at that kind of height
The saw clip looks cool have to get one I used a double rope technique on a big saw before you can let the ground guy hoist it up or down works good when you got a neighbor tree
Hi Harry! I am an engineering student and I am working on a group project for my design class where we have to design a product to assist a user group. Our user group is arborists/ individuals who do work with trees. I came across your channel would love to get in contact to ask you some questions if possible! Thank you, keep up the great work
It was going to be too much $$ with crane hire, powerline shut-down, road closure and log trucks. They had other quotes double ours using a crane. Certainly would have been easier though!
Bitchin, Harry!! You might like this!! ruclips.net/video/ogKzEBIeTG8/видео.html It wasn't the best decision to do what we did, but I later got the longer GRCS capstan. Main mistake was not securely anchoring it to the tree so that it wouldn't ride up as it did.
OK MY WORK HERE IS DONE AS ON WEDNESDAY I FOUND OUT I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME. GOD KNOWS IM ALL OK WITH IT. AS A PROFESSIONAL SOLO ARBORIST FIR 35 YEARS YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE TECHNIQUES I HAD TO LEARN TO SAELY TAKE DOWN TREES OF THIS MAGNATUDE . I DID NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF ASSISTANCE ON THE GROUND FIRST OF ALL SECONDLY I HAD TO SURVIVE MY DECISIONS , NO MISTAKES ALLOWED ! NOW REASON WITH ME ,YES I KNOW MY RIGGING AND TRUSTED MY APPROACH THROUGH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. SO HOW WOULD I HAVE TACKLED THESE TWO DEAD TREES ? I WOULD SINCH EACH LIMB THAT I HANDLE WITH A SLING AND THROW ON A PILE BELOW WHEN I REACHED A MANAGABLE TOP TO PUSH OFF AT THAT POINT I WOULD CUT SECTIONS AND PUSH OFF SINCE THESE TREES ARE DEAD SO AS TO NOT SHOCK LOAD / SHAKE THE TRUNK. SAFETY FIRST , I WOULD ALWAYS USE TWO LANYARDS AND IF NO ELECTRIC WIRES I USED A WIRE CABLE REINFORCED LANYARD. I'VE BEEN 100 FT. IN PENNSYLVANIA FOREST MATURE TREES MANY TIMES AND AT THE END OF THE DAY FOUND BROWN SPOTS IN MY TITY WHITIES , JUST SAYIN I EARNED MY REPUTATION. SO WHY AT 66 AM I DYING OF CANCER CAUSE ITS TIME TO REST AND GO VISIT MY WIFE ! AMEN!

My thoughts exactly
Truly takes a team, climber and guy running the rope need to know exactly the cuts to make and the raps on porter rap.
Guy on rope could easily kill climber if he made a mistake.
This crew is spot on top notch tree guys rite here.
Fact they pray before every job is amazing and to me a guy who does this daily for last 33 years.
My take away from video is these guys are truly men to be admired and celebrated.
Australian arborists are cut from a different cloth. Great work.
I like the simplicity of the red sling instead of having to tie a knot! Beast of a tree! Beast of a climber! awesome work! Your the man!💪💪
Thanks Reon! Yeah slinging the rope around that girth got tiring pretty quick hah
It’s rewarding and I like it. I’ve had many jobs and they all sucked. This job has a few moments that are as uncomfortable as it is dangerous. But over all, the rewards outweigh the risks. High risk high reward.

Rainbow eucalyptus on my bucket list 🤙🏻
What a great way to spend my Sunday watching a master at work 💪
Thanks Harry & crew! Great fun!

Beast man, big respect from the UK. Don't see those scale of trees over here 🤣
Sick rigging. Best videos out here on RUclips
Well Done Harry and the groundsmen, That's some big wood your dealing with ! Excellent video as always, keep them coming !
Greeeeat, good job. Strong crew💪💪👏👏
Good men make it look easy, Top work Harry big sticks
Great job Harry those are massive trees! Fantastic team work in rigging those giant pieces down! Stay safe and keep the chips flying!
So cool to see this massive rigging! Good stuff mate
Taken us to the top bro.
What a great production this video is.
We really get a sense of what you're dealing with.
You sir are a master of the craft
What a skilled job this is!
Bro I love my small european trees, I would never ever want to do stuff this big, just must be sooo energy draining really. GOod job

@@kenweis7913 swing a 660 all day hurts too.only sling my 460 these days as i hurt my back.
@@kenweis7913 - 090's on a spar is more like fun than torture....🙄🙄🙄
Only good thing with a big buz is that once your on the ground the saw does most of the work.
@@troymeredith9528 - After climbing and rigging down a tree like this, does the climber have to then be the guy bucking the log??? That sounds obscene.

“big boy trees” hahaha master of understatement thats our Harry!
M Rigging is beautiful!
Great job guys. Hey you guys should do a lot more shorts, your subscribers would go way up. The value of the shorts are the subscribers. Keep up the great work. And keep the faith! Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, and thanks for the tip, I'll start putting more up
Great job you're the best 👌

Nice work mate. That just looks painful to me now haha. My wrists wouldn't handle it these days. God bless from a fellow brother.
Good stuff bet ya had ya fingers crossed for the bounce and 14:55,that would suck if it flicked over to the house with a crappy bounce but he flat landed it like a sniper 👌 cool to watch
I own tree service hear in middle TN. I have to say you boys earn your money.
We’ve got a 3120 XP, you’re handling that one very well! :-)
Cradeld some big bits once. Yer just shocked hard. Thats nice. Cheers fullas

Yer great rig n slow n gentle
Just lovely this video.
What kind of rigging ropes did you used?
20mm double braid
Thank you very much
And this is how you make the big bucks well done
The only mistake I see is your lunch 🤪😁 Good job 👍
Haha
You Australians have those massive SLICK trees. I thought California had big ones. I’m curious, What Gaffs do you use?
Carbon geckos short gaff
Hey Siri, disable gravity
My question is how does he even get to the top of the tree with balls that big?
The high’s Master Harry god bless you
Nice cuttin yall!
👍🏽Could you please give me some information: what is the specific weight of eucalip. Thanks and good work
What saw clip are you using on your saddle? I love how calm you are all the time, this job can be terrifying and if you let your mind wander from the job directly in front of you its easy to freeze up at that kind of height
Thanks mate l, petzl caritool
The saw clip looks cool have to get one I used a double rope technique on a big saw before you can let the ground guy hoist it up or down works good when you got a neighbor tree
And u were swingin..
GRRRRRRR8 JOB tree brother

That's a lot of stamina, my brother. 🤷🏻♂️
You know he slept good that night
0:14 the walk to the office

What was the name of that song in the intro?
Great stuff btw!!
How much is a tree like that? I'm thinking 12,000 to 15,000
Good climber good job good tam good all
Nice work, that's big timber. Out of interest why no crane?
It was going to be too much $$ with crane hire, powerline shut-down, road closure and log trucks. They had other quotes double ours using a crane. Certainly would have been easier though!
Like a helmet is gonna protect a groundie with rigging like that
this must cost 10000 dolars for sure
Wow keren bos 👍👍👍
