Amazing job. One quick tip. Whenever you are out on a limb, make sure to either undercut underneath the main cut, or if you want it to tear, undercut several inches from the main cut. I got myself pinned to an oak branch when an oak branch tore and pulled on my lanyard. I had to cut my lanyard with my saw (cut through the fabric, couldn't cut the the steel with my handsaw). With the fabric sheath cut through, and some movement of still partially attached limb from the ground, I was able to get unstuck. If I had made 1 or 2 inch undercut, it never would have happened.
8:16 your groundsman had me scared! that thing swung kinda close. overall amazing job brother. taking down a pine tree today and these oaks make pines look one dimensional lol
I like the idea of using the steel snap rather than tying a knot on every branch. Have you ever had a rope break because of the crease the snap makes in the rope? Have you ever had a limb slip out? Appreciate the feed back, thanks for the vid.
Nope, I've never broken a rigging rope or had a branch slide out. If you're worried about over loading the snap or the knot its tethered with, a half hitch on the limb reduces the stress on both. Snap also has a bit of weight to it which makes it easier to toss around.
My question iS how long does it take to set the pulley up for each piece u lower? All that extra tail looks like it takes to long? Ever try a regular 2 ring friction saver,
It takes too long for sure. This video was from early on and I have since collected a few rigging ring slings and also an ultra sling or two to help speed things up. My first dead eye slings were homemade.
Very good job can I ask you why you finish a lot of your cuts with your hand saw you said your afraid I am just curious what you mean by that great job though
Aw man, I filmed this removal a few years ago and it's hard to remember 😅 I'm pretty sure I climbed up to the rigging point to install the block. Then I climbed down to the limbs I wanted to rig. I do have a video on setting a remote rigging block without climbing uo to the rigging point if you're interested. ruclips.net/video/hHcyH9Tlvd4/видео.html
Aye, I hope it's a healthy fear 😊 I definitely grew up in a DIY family and I've definitely learned that there are tons of people better than me at a lot of things. There is a good bit of wisdom in knowing your limits.
Lol, it feels that way sometimes. It may not be visible in many of the shots, but I always keep an overhead rope tied to the highest point of the tree.
This was early early on in my career and the bottom line was that I was scared. Some of the limbs were loaded and we couldn't pretension the enough to keep the stub from jumping when the tip came off. I didn't want to be slapped around with a chainsaw in my hands.
@@selfemployed1338 They do peel. I didn't make enough under-cut on a branch and it ripped down and it pinned my lanyard, pulling me into the tree. I had to cut my steel-core lanyard and have my ground guy lift up a bit on the branch to free me.
This is not always true. There are instances where a pendulum can increase its total swing distance. It's often found in physics outside of the high-school classroom.
@@zaccheus right on i hear good things about husq ive been switching over to echo if im gonna have inferior air filtration might as well save a few hundreds bucks
@@zaccheus I've fought 3 men in a back ally and came out better then the lot . I took a masked man down that entered my home uninvited......... But I'll never climb a high tree 🤣🤣. Respect 👊🇮🇪
Looks like you need to carry about a lot of details. The precise length of the rope, the attachment point, the side of the rope, the angle of the cut, the overall length of the branch, those massive heavy branches comming swinging back... lots of details. If the rope was shorter the branch could have hit you. If your legs where on the other side of the tree, the rope would have cut your legs.. Leave this to pros
Yeah, my laugh may have been motivated by nervousness. Anxiety is a very large reason for laughter in a number of situations. If you're not willing to take risks, you'll never benefit from taking risks.
NO FUCK!NG WAY !!! not for me dude I don't mind height's i work on cell towers but what you are doin........hell no !!! mad props to you and any one else that does that

I do have some things to learn, we all do. But I also successfully dismantled the tree with no harm to property or person. On these terms, I consider the job a win.

Lovely watching pros at work
Incredible video. You did conquer something!!
You guys did an amazing job. Keep up the good work and stay safe
Tha is for the the encouragement!
You did my brother you did 👏 . That was amazing.
Epic work. Thanks for sharing
Nice first notch there bud. I also like the caribener at the end of the lowering line instead of tying the bowline a hundred times. Solid stuff.
Thanks bro

Great job man. Nice rigging too!!! You sound humble and appear to work safely which is a recipe for success!!!
Awesome stuff!!!
Thanks Armando!
Good job 👍

I felt little dizzy while I am watching. It is hard job.
It's hard when you're first learning, but after some practice, it get a little easier 😊
Cutting tall trees like that takes a lot of patience and hard work. Great job.
Thanks!
I seen lots of tag lines. 2 groundies is awesome in tight quarters especially when your span rigging, very minimal swinging action
Sure thing! I try to keep adequate help available on the ground. It certainly makes the day aloft go smoother

Very good job can I ask you why you finish a lot of your cuts with your hand saw you said your afraid I am just curious what you mean by that great job though
This was a bit earlier in my career and I wasn't confident with have a chainsaw in my hands while the limb is leaving the tree.
@@zaccheus That's definitely understandable love your videos stay safe. An new videos coming
professional
Best video ever
Aw thanks!
wow incredible, it's an art
Good video
Thanks!
Can I ask how you got that initial high rigging point to lower tied branches? Was it just a matter of climbing up to establish this point?
Aw man, I filmed this removal a few years ago and it's hard to remember 😅 I'm pretty sure I climbed up to the rigging point to install the block. Then I climbed down to the limbs I wanted to rig.

Are you using the like 17$ handsaw from Amazon??
Lol yes, but I have long since upgraded to a silky 😂
@@zaccheus what chainsaw is this
You successfully scared the crap out of me. I'll be calling a professional to have my tree removed.
Aye, I hope it's a healthy fear 😊 I definitely grew up in a DIY family and I've definitely learned that there are tons of people better than me at a lot of things. There is a good bit of wisdom in knowing your limits.
I like to put another block next to where I'm cutting to help control the amount of swing the rigging has in it
Certainly not a terrible idea. I have done similar things before, just takes more time to set up.
Rather take the time then have the cost to repair the house
Sure thing, I'm a big advocate for "rather be safe than sorry", but I'm also an advocate getting as much done with as little as possible.
@@zaccheus LawrenceSchultz3000 has many videos with this type of rigging. He's the best at rigging wide trees with long limbs, in tight places.
He's cutting off all the branches and I'm thinking what is he hanging on now? Looks like Spider-Man hanging on to ropes in the sky lol
Lol, it feels that way sometimes. It may not be visible in many of the shots, but I always keep an overhead rope tied to the highest point of the tree.
Much respect
Thanks!
Why are you finishing up a lot of those cuts with the handsaw instead of the chainsaw?
This was early early on in my career and the bottom line was that I was scared. Some of the limbs were loaded and we couldn't pretension the enough to keep the stub from jumping when the tip came off. I didn't want to be slapped around with a chainsaw in my hands.
Amen brother
what harness are you in?
Back then it was an uncertified cheap knock off. These days I know better and I climb in a Treerex by Edelrid
What does a job like this cost? I’ve got two similar size right on top of my house
There are a lot of factors that go into the cost of a tree removal. It's best to call a couple different companies and get a few competing estimates.
nullcut brother, before that lanyard gets snatched..
stay safe up there
You mean kerf cut on either side of the notch?
Red oaks don't peel
That has been my experience so far 🤷♂️
@@selfemployed1338 They do peel. I didn't make enough under-cut on a branch and it ripped down and it pinned my lanyard, pulling me into the tree. I had to cut my steel-core lanyard and have my ground guy lift up a bit on the branch to free me.
@@4.0gpa44 are you sure it was red oak?
3:39. That’s some great positive reinforcement. Still, it can’t swing back to you as far as you are. Physics.
This is not always true. There are instances where a pendulum can increase its total swing distance. It's often found in physics outside of the high-school classroom.
What top handle saw is that?
It's the husqvarna economy top handle saw T435. It works good and is lighter than my Stihl 201. But I was also happy to replace it.

Nice.😆
How much did you charge for this
Way too little. Actually lost a little money on it. Only way to know is to try 🤷♂️

Lol, but none of those things happened. Maybe you should stick to commenting on content you know something about 😂

Never underestimate the power of prayer 🙏, stay safe and God bless
Amen to that!
Woow.

How much
As much as possible
2:42. Even more proof this kid is lucky to be alive.
What do you mean? What should he do in this situation?
@@patryk9854 Besides being jostled with the saw in his hand, I can't think of anything either.
Alot of bad things could have happened there. Smh this guy cutting like he dont give 2 shits.
