i love it when the "big boss" is just a cool, normal dude doing grunt work as well to know the job inside out! incredible rare sight in my field ("big pharma").
I am a tree surgeon as well. This is a rare sight, ESPECIALLY with a tree company this size. 9 out of 10 times the bigger the company the more non existent the owners become. At companies not even a quarter of this size I wouldn’t see the owners for 6-9 months at a time. I have tremendous respect for this company after seeing this.
That's a good looking operation. Not gonna lie... I'm a little jealous of all that equipment. Great video Jacob. Thanks for giving the east coast some love
Welcome to PA Jacob we have 5 out of the 10 types of hickory trees in PA hickory trees: shagbark hickory, shellbark hickory, mockernut hickory, pignut hickory and butternut hickory Enjoy your stay n yes it's crazy hot for PA not normal weather for us
You need a cool-collar… a wet cool neck wrap… knock’s your body temperature down like 20 degrees feeling really great in hot summer… I’ve been rocking the collar and the bucket hat this year and it’s absolutely amazing how much they can cool you off! They pull the saw down out of it’s top rpm’s power range! .030 is about perfect!
64oz insulated jug with 2 solo cup sized ice cubes will help to beat the heat. Refill from any hose bib 3 times and your waters still cold. Also convenient to keep with you in the bucket
Yeah, really bugs me that west coast dudes talk shit. Sure they typically run bigger bars, we only have to om occasion run anything bigger than 36 but they don't understand the work that goes into the trees we have here. Lot harder wood and a lot more brush and branches
@@j.sargent9172 I don't know what area you like in but, in Va... We have some huge trees (wide trunks). I drove buy a house in Culpeper and they had a old growth Oak that was over 7' diameter... The built the road around the tree!
Jake you are amazing and willing to bring different kinds of professionals together for the love of felling trees to go beyond the feuds is admirable. You bring to this channel your passion to teach and show different techniques to cutting trees. Yes living on the east coast we get more humidity than the west coast. Grin and bare it, it will add a layer of sweat equity to the work you do. Be safe and stay hydrated!
Nice job Jake. It isn't easy always being the new guy every where you go but you're slaying it. You've got a lot of years ahead and you're on the fast track to being one of the most well-rounded climbers out there. Humility and willingness are a great combination.
Our trees get wild out here. Waaaay wider. Hell I've seen a 65ft live oak that was about 100ft in diameter (the canopy, not a 100ft trunk). Jake, you should cut a cookie from a tree whenever you travel to a different place and burn the date and location into it for posterity.
I live in pa got square grind on chain an full wrap handles on all big saws it’s great a sharp chain is a sharp chain no matter if it’s hard wood or soft an I wrap handle can still cut close to ground ya it’s in way sometimes but it’s way more handy then it hurts
Dude this was so awesome to see! Shriners looks like a super awesome outfit. I love that boss man has his trucks and equipment so clean you couldn't get over it😆 Sign of a great man that puts such care into maintaining the machines that provide s livelihood for himself and the men working for him.
Cool, breaking down barriers. You're not kidding about the humuginess there. I'm from the northern Midwest. We get hot & the cold. I was in DC in early August. Holy humid. They're all use to it & keep the A/C up at 85°. I keep my office at 65° all year & try to keep the shop at 50°.
😂 I keep my ac "low" to 76° in the summer and the heat is "up" to 67° in the winter. People always complaining about the temperature I keep my house at... I'm like if you chip in $50-100, I'll adjust the thermostat.
Hell yeah man!! Glad you were able to come out and join us for the week! Never got to say hello to you, but appreciate the love and respect you have for tree work as a whole and for the company! Been working here for about 2 years and have loved every minute of it!
I lived my whole life in S. Idaho/N.Utah and then lived in N. Virginia for 5 years. Took nearly 3 years to get "somewhat" acclimatized to the oppressive summer humidity. Interestingly, it not only makes summer miserable, but also winter. Deep, penetrating cold with VA winter humidity. Glad to be back West again.
Awesome video. I'm glad you had the opportunity to visit a solid company on the east coast. I work out of Brewer Landscaping and Tree Services just 10 miles west of Valley Forge Park. Hickory and Ash are definitely two of the hardest woods in the area and Ash tree removals comprises at least half of our tree jobs, unfortunately due to the EAB.
When you have a good boss that treats his guys with respect and understanding... It's easy to keep employees. When they don't... You have a high turnover! The problem being that the employees think, I can do this better... And then they start their own company.
@@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va True and its easier to think that when your working with old beat up stuff Because thats the equipment you can afford when your starting out... But it takes years and years to build up enough equity to run that much brand new equipment and never let it get more then 2-3 years old
Glad to see you out here Jacob. Your prospective on these types of trees will give us east coaster's, a reality check as to how they stack up against the difficulties compared to your soft-wood trees. I agree with the references you've made to your comment section, as I have often said to myself, "I'd like to see 'um do that out here". Only in the 80 to 100' range with sprawling canopy, 1/4" of bark, and very tuff hard wood. I think you'll find yourself using your fill a lot more often or having a couple of extra chains ready to go, which is what I do. Keep up the great work you're doing. We're all hanging in there with you. Chip from Delaware.
Thanks for bringing us along great production quality. I'm loving the vibe of the channel. If you think your hot up there try the heat further south in Louisiana. The oaks and Spanish moss are definitely something you would enjoy.
Or try the Sierra foothills in CA when it's 110 - 115 degrees. It fairly dry heat, though. Hottest I've ever been in was 126 degrees in Copperopolis CA in the late 1980s. I wasn't working though - thank God!
JAKE I'm in Jersey very close to were u are, in short the HEAT IS insane on the East coast but u will get use to. DUDE you are great person for showcasing our industry to the world. I have been climbing and cutting for 18yrs. So I get it an love it. Keep up the great work, and be safe.
Also like some of the others have said, if you plan to be in humid areas buy a frog toggs cool towel, even Luke warm water will keep the towel cold, put it om your neck and it cools your blood off which in turn keeps your body temp down. Helps a lot bro
One thing about Pennsylvania vehicles, if you don't keep them clean they will literally rust out while you watch! I grew up in Pennsylvania and have rented apartments old then some states. The people are good and have more integrity than most, but work is a religion in Pennsylvania, I've had to kick it down to low gear ever since I moved away from there. Lol
I've lived in this area my whole life (I'm 61) and I never get used to the hot humid summer days. And it's only gotten worse with global warming. The older I get the more I hate it! I don't know how people lived without air conditioning. Enjoy that west coast weather!
Good stuff, not far from from where I grew up. Speaking of the history in the area one of my grade school teachers would always tell us how lucky we were to grow up in such a historically rich area and to not take it for granted. That is a clean running operation.
The reason it’s not as humid here on the west coast is the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean. As weather mainly travels from west to east we get an almost constant breeze from the ocean. I live in Victoria, just north of you. 🇨🇦
Welcome to Pennsylvania! I live north of king of Prussia, in the Poconos. And the humidity is even worse because of the mountains. It's horrific in the summer but I don't know anything different!
Great to have you in PA.. where you are ,there's a lot of very tall and heavy trees in an area that’s not very flat ..very dense area there..great stuff as always
Welcome to the east coast Jake. You should come to upstate New York lots of old buildings. Awesome equipment and sharp outfit. Definitely jealous of the nice equipment you get to work with. You can tell they care about the equipment and the people that work for them.
I am really happy to see you over in the East cost I am in upper NY I have been watching all your videos for when you where videoing with your other company great job
This is 30 minutes from where I grew up, awesome video Jake. keep up the great videos! I am jealous you are living the tree climber dream in my opinion!
I've seen that bucking technique done on a horizontal limb to allow it to land flat. You load up the kerf with sawdust behind your cut. I've been wanting to see the limb reaper in some of this eascoast hardwoods. It's right at home lol
While watching you video where you were felling a large tree solo. You were using a block and tackle so to speak , to pull the tree in the direction needed. Each time it moved you had to retention your ropes. If you were to incorporate a section of large bungee cord, say 50’ or so and stretch it between two loops in your main line, it would provide constant tension and pick up what would have been slack. There by eliminating the need to stop cutting to retention the pull line. What ever the length of bungee, set the loops double that distance. That would provide a good pull for a good distance. Plus it never complains or needs a break. And works cheap. 😎
I've always surmised that in PA we get the worst of all of it. You need a good heating system, air-conditioner , and dehumidifier for your basement. Then there's the "we don't get much snow" crowd, you don't need a snowblower. Then it dumps 2' of snow. Another fun condition is that humidity at 34 degrees. I'm about a hour north of KOP. We "rednecks" always think of Philly as tree less but in seeing some of the wood drop off yards they have a shit load of big wood around the area. The place to hide is northern PA in the summer it's usually 10-15 degrees cooler. I'm sure it seemed like you were jumping off a cliff leaving Eastside. Looks like your channel is growing nicely. Stay safe!
Hit a local grocery store like the Acme and grab a box of Pedolite Sport mixed berry flavor tubes… thy are aluminum tubes that you tear open and pour into your water bottle… baby section of store… it’s absolutely insanely good hydration support…they save your day in the heat here… I do three a day when it’s 95 degrees like it’s going to be this week! Stay hydrated and be careful having any after work brews as it’s super ruff on you the next afternoon with this high heat and humidity! 😂😂👍
I had to laugh at your comment about east coast humidity. ~ "I thought the east coast was always like a Christmas movie." Yeah, that would be nice. Jake, thanks for your positivity and cool perspective on so many things! Stay safe.
Yep I’m on the east coast in SC and have been converted to square ground chain. It’s great. If working with equipment that can dirty up a log, it is easier to round file a chain in the field Imo. Great video!
22:25 You can think more clearly because you're immediate personal space is encroaching on you. Plus any sane person would be worried that you might cut the wrong thing when there is too much crowding your working space. Makes perfect sense to me.
Looks like a good outfit for sure. Helps a ton when the guys you work with like each other and work good as a team. Maybe more folks from the logger and arborist world will see your videos and realize they each have their place and both ways work in the right situation. That’s my warm and fuzzy thought for the week anyway. You do a good job bridging the gap and it’s informative and entertaining to see both sides
Sorry you had to put up with the humidity......bet a cool shower felt good when you were done! Another great video Jacob! I am so happy you get to travel and see how things are done in other states.
My son is just like you he don't like to clean up brush he'll climb all day but when it comes to moving brush like you said clean up your own I enjoy your videos please stay safe I'll catch you on the next video take care
Really good video. It's great to see where history really happened. I was in Maryland last year. My flight out was south of D.C. so I got to see a lot of the landmark buildings from the library of Congress to the Lincoln memorial.
Loggin in hickory on super steep ground I was near death on every tree…stringy fiber…hollow butts..when you topped one it took off like a rocket several hundred feet down the mountain and you with it if you didn’t have a good escape route..killer outfit Jake yer livin the dream my friend…thanks matt
Now you know why those guys are in great shape. I used to do roofing and construction in Western PA. That area used to be one big swamp, so the humidity can be nasty. It was perfectly normal to drop ten pounds of body weight in a 10 hour day.
The best part of loving your job is learning that you can find out new things everyday and use them the next flawlessly. I live in northeast Pennsylvania I'm not an arborist or a professional tree cutter but I have ran my fair share of chainsaws that being said the difference I think between West Coast wood and East Coast wood mainly is in residential neighborhoods 9 and 10 trees end up like an octopus fighting for sunlight so they grow very strange and very rarely straight In my own opinion. I definitely agree with your opinion that both sides need to work together and there's no reason for a feud no 1 for 1 job is more important than the other in its own aspect. When it all comes down to what's being done is trees are being cut down that's the main goal that's the objective that's the job Just git er done.😁
Hi brother. due to objective reasons for me (the war in my country) I lost track of time. I'm sorry, brother, I haven't followed the channel for several months. In one of the videos (about chains) I heard you say "when I was working on the east side of the tree work". You don't work there anymore? if so, know I'm sorry... These videos made me look at arboristry with different eyes. And it's cool. In any case, this post is about the fact that no matter what, your participation in the east side of the trees will remain forever in my heart, and now I follow this channel as much as possible. Peace be with you, brother.
I live near there. That is Washington Memorial Chapel which is on private land surrounded by Valley Forge National Park. (Separation of church and state!) Washington Crossing is 30 miles from there.
Jake, Welcome to some super humid summer weather!!! I'm not sure when you were over in Pa... I'm not too far away in Va. We had a major heatwave where it was upper 90's and 90+% humidity... Heat index was in the 110-115+ range. You never feel cool enough when working outside. On those days I usually average between 1.5 - 2 gallons of water drinking (making sure at least 1/3-1/2 of is is some sort of Gatorade drink). The absolute worst is when you're hot and cool off with some AC... The first time you go back outside you get all clammy! But on a tree cutting comment... At My Dad's house a walnut tree fell down and I went there about a week later to cut it up. That tree was so hard, my new chain was throwing sparks! I'm just wondering if you've had a similar encounter with a tree reaction the same way?
Must be nice cutting down those super soft East Coast and West Coast trees. Back in Pangaea we didn't have either coast, and we had to cut down petrified trees using mastodon bones.
Welcome to the east coast!! We’ve been having an unrelenting hot and humid summer so it’s definitely a shock to the system when you don’t experience it much.Something tells me we’re going to go straight over to winter and heavy snows after this extreme.Nice clean job on the hickories.Such a great company to work for it seems.Thanks!! PS:More water bottle tosses for sure!!!👍
When your in the high heat high humidity work environment. Put a pinch of sea salt in your drinking water. About every third water bottle. At the end of the day you won’t feel as worn down and spent.
To see the coast you have to be on the coast. Come to NH, I got some nice trees in my yard you can take down if you want lol 100ft white pine struck by lightning at some point for starters 😆 welcome to the east!
So cool you made it out to PA man! I work for a tree company in Audubon right outside of KOP where those guys are at. Can’t drive for 30 minutes in that area without seeing their trucks😂
Shreiner sure is a big company! Amazing how clean the trucks are. You may someday own a fleet of trucks too Jacob....you deserve the best! Tell your family I said "Hi".
Did you ask these guys what they do with the main trucks? Chipping or saw mills ? Looks like some great lumber in a few of those pieces. If you get the chance goto Gettysburg and go on one of the Horse ride tours to get a feel for the battle from eye level
Jacob, In Eastern Tennessee we use Hickory chips to smoke pork BBQ. It's a very common tree hereabouts. it sounded like you were right in your element working with the Shreiner's and their Family. If they have people that have been with them 20 years, they're Family. You look really comfortable in that Shreiner shirt. Do you feel like you made a good impression on them?
i love it when the "big boss" is just a cool, normal dude doing grunt work as well to know the job inside out! incredible rare sight in my field ("big pharma").
They are the best
You wake up each morning and go work for big pharma? Wtf bro
I am a tree surgeon as well. This is a rare sight, ESPECIALLY with a tree company this size. 9 out of 10 times the bigger the company the more non existent the owners become. At companies not even a quarter of this size I wouldn’t see the owners for 6-9 months at a time. I have tremendous respect for this company after seeing this.
Criminals with blood on their hands.
oof
That's a good looking operation. Not gonna lie... I'm a little jealous of all that equipment. Great video Jacob. Thanks for giving the east coast some love
Welcome to PA Jacob we have 5 out of the 10 types of hickory trees in PA
hickory trees: shagbark hickory, shellbark hickory, mockernut hickory, pignut hickory and butternut hickory
Enjoy your stay n yes it's crazy hot for PA not normal weather for us
So cool chucking that water bottle up and down!
You need a cool-collar… a wet cool neck wrap… knock’s your body temperature down like 20 degrees feeling really great in hot summer… I’ve been rocking the collar and the bucket hat this year and it’s absolutely amazing how much they can cool you off!
They pull the saw down out of it’s top rpm’s power range! .030 is about perfect!
64oz insulated jug with 2 solo cup sized ice cubes will help to beat the heat. Refill from any hose bib 3 times and your waters still cold. Also convenient to keep with you in the bucket
I'm a large custom made ice cube JUNKIE!!!!
It's about time. East coast is way different. Sprawled out more and growing in crazy ways
Yeah, really bugs me that west coast dudes talk shit. Sure they typically run bigger bars, we only have to om occasion run anything bigger than 36 but they don't understand the work that goes into the trees we have here. Lot harder wood and a lot more brush and branches
@@j.sargent9172- Amen. Just a thousand different logistical considerations.
@@j.sargent9172 you should try posting logging from the eu, west coast guys hate it more than anything. Dont understand why

My son is just like you he don't like to clean up brush he'll climb all day but when it comes to moving brush like you said clean up your own I enjoy your videos please stay safe I'll catch you on the next video take care
Really good video. It's great to see where history really happened. I was in Maryland last year. My flight out was south of D.C. so I got to see a lot of the landmark buildings from the library of Congress to the Lincoln memorial.
Loggin in hickory on super steep ground I was near death on every tree…stringy fiber…hollow butts..when you topped one it took off like a rocket several hundred feet down the mountain and you with it if you didn’t have a good escape route..killer outfit Jake yer livin the dream my friend…thanks matt
Now you know why those guys are in great shape. I used to do roofing and construction in Western PA. That area used to be one big swamp, so the humidity can be nasty. It was perfectly normal to drop ten pounds of body weight in a 10 hour day.
The best part of loving your job is learning that you can find out new things everyday and use them the next flawlessly. I live in northeast Pennsylvania I'm not an arborist or a professional tree cutter but I have ran my fair share of chainsaws that being said the difference I think between West Coast wood and East Coast wood mainly is in residential neighborhoods 9 and 10 trees end up like an octopus fighting for sunlight so they grow very strange and very rarely straight In my own opinion. I definitely agree with your opinion that both sides need to work together and there's no reason for a feud no 1 for 1 job is more important than the other in its own aspect. When it all comes down to what's being done is trees are being cut down that's the main goal that's the objective that's the job Just git er done.😁
Come up to New hampshire!!
98 degrees/100% humidity
Since beginning of July, and yes
I'm a tree guy as well
I recognized the "Limb Reaper" and saw the Panther bar, but you were definitely pushing it. I didn't hear the little beast complaining.
So cool all American History , Nice old Church. 😮
Hi brother. due to objective reasons for me (the war in my country) I lost track of time. I'm sorry, brother, I haven't followed the channel for several months. In one of the videos (about chains) I heard you say "when I was working on the east side of the tree work". You don't work there anymore? if so, know I'm sorry... These videos made me look at arboristry with different eyes. And it's cool. In any case, this post is about the fact that no matter what, your participation in the east side of the trees will remain forever in my heart, and now I follow this channel as much as possible. Peace be with you, brother.
The company he used to work for is called "East Side". Hope that helps.
I live near there. That is Washington Memorial Chapel which is on private land surrounded by Valley Forge National Park. (Separation of church and state!) Washington Crossing is 30 miles from there.
Bless Nice video. This company has nice equipment. Thanks 🙏
Nice Jacob. This summer has been brutal with heat and humidity here in NH. Drink plenty of fluids. You don’t want a kidney stone later in life.
Beauty! Cinematic gold right there!
Jacob u have the best tree work content on RUclips you’re doing an amazing job
Thank you so
Much
Wow Jake, this is the best video to watch on a Saturday afternoon. Great video. Great company also. Awesome video pardner.
Jake,
Welcome to some super humid summer weather!!!
I'm not sure when you were over in Pa... I'm not too far away in Va. We had a major heatwave where it was upper 90's and 90+% humidity... Heat index was in the 110-115+ range. You never feel cool enough when working outside. On those days I usually average between 1.5 - 2 gallons of water drinking (making sure at least 1/3-1/2 of is is some sort of Gatorade drink). The absolute worst is when you're hot and cool off with some AC... The first time you go back outside you get all clammy!
But on a tree cutting comment... At My Dad's house a walnut tree fell down and I went there about a week later to cut it up. That tree was so hard, my new chain was throwing sparks! I'm just wondering if you've had a similar encounter with a tree reaction the same way?
Lots of my axes go to PA
Must be nice cutting down those super soft East Coast and West Coast trees. Back in Pangaea we didn't have either coast, and we had to cut down petrified trees using mastodon bones.
Welcome to Pennsylvania! Hope you enjoyed the experience. Keep on keepin on
Welcome to the east coast!!
We’ve been having an unrelenting hot and humid summer so it’s definitely a shock to the system when you don’t experience it much.Something tells me we’re going to go straight over to winter and heavy snows after this extreme.Nice clean job on the hickories.Such a great company to work for it seems.Thanks!!
PS:More water bottle tosses for sure!!!👍
I went to school with some of these guys ,I lived on the mainline for 35 years !!
I've been seeing Shreiner a lot more around Berwyn, PA. Great work from a quality company.
Welcome to our great state! Hope you had fun.
Coming from a sawmill guy. “That’s a nice Ash log!” Ha and ream bucking. Will come in handy for me too. Teaching me something too. Thanks for that.
When your in the high heat high humidity work environment. Put a pinch of sea salt in your drinking water. About every third water bottle. At the end of the day you won’t feel as worn down and spent.
very Good Videos You put out and a Good job on them cuts and knots
If you don’t already get a 20ft lanyard. Seems like to much but it comes in handy a lot
Couldn't agree more.
BTW..the humidity has been like that here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for almost 140 straight days Jake. It is Fugly !
To see the coast you have to be on the coast. Come to NH, I got some nice trees in my yard you can take down if you want lol 100ft white pine struck by lightning at some point for starters 😆 welcome to the east!
So cool you made it out to PA man! I work for a tree company in Audubon right outside of KOP where those guys are at. Can’t drive for 30 minutes in that area without seeing their trucks😂
Now we need you to cut some trees in Houston in August so you can get the full heat and humidity experience.
Shreiner sure is a big company! Amazing how clean the trucks are. You may someday own a fleet of trucks too Jacob....you deserve the best! Tell your family I said "Hi".
Did you ask these guys what they do with the main trucks? Chipping or saw mills ?
Looks like some great lumber in a few of those pieces.
If you get the chance goto Gettysburg and go on one of the Horse ride tours to get a feel for the battle from eye level
Oh, Asplundh tree services in another big outfit, they have them all over the place, they have one in PA. and one in Dover Delaware.
Nice Video! I drove by you guys that day wish I knew you were out here. Shrine On!
Jacob, In Eastern Tennessee we use Hickory chips to smoke pork BBQ. It's a very common tree hereabouts. it sounded like you were right in your element working with the Shreiner's and their Family. If they have people that have been with them 20 years, they're Family. You look really comfortable in that Shreiner shirt. Do you feel like you made a good impression on them?
A little different in the East Coast? Hard woods and big branches
Great video Jacob great skills 💪
Mmm I love that Reem Job technique
Loved this video thanks Jacob!
