Now, that was a job well done! Love that little chain saw…..a one-hander! Excellent work and a beautiful view.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Too fun ,, the right tool for the job ... automated deer stand .... Wow,, that water looks so awesome and inviting ... .. the go-pro .shots from Brandons treetops height looking down brought back some bad memories .... I had a cliff drop of about 75 ft in younger years ... probably why I now have a little twitch ..... ..Bummer on the drone crash ... ..... Stay Safe and God Bless .....

[@garykleeman7612]

Wow, your team is the most professional, well equipped, smartest, well organized, tree removal experts I have ever seen, handling some of the most difficult trees and sites. Way cool.

[@MrBadger]

Easily my new favorite channel. Who's keeping Grizz entertained while y'all are working?

[@TimberMates]

Haha glad to hear it!! Grizz has a great time napping on our couch (which he's not supposed to be doing) while we work LOL

[@tonynagy2042]

Same here Robbie..... LOL... I kept looking around....where's the Grizz?

[@db.mc2]

Hi Careena, Brandon, awesome views, nice work👊👍thank you, stay safe, stay well my friends ✌️

[@tomgrantham9992]

Very interesting, nice to see the great outdoors from that height. I had two 70 foot trees in front of my house and the city disturbed the roots and said that they would take them down for free. They reconstructed the road and tore it up and then replaced the road. I brought a guy in and he milled them for me, right in front of my house. So, I can relate. Great new show. I am looking forward to more videos. 👏👏

[@DuongNguyen-gg3uc]

Hello Timber Mates; Your video is extremely vivid and clear. Thanks for sharing.

Cool video 👍 Had an ice storm this winter and it took me day's to clean up all the broken tree limbs. I had sap everywhere.

[@suezaple4950]

I had pins and needles in my feet watching Brandon up so high with that tree that's scary stuff especially with the cottage below , awesome skills Brandon . great work Careena your arms are going to be build girl Lol . Must say that looked challenging . beautiful area . nice that each job is different loved this you both work well together

[@TimberMates]

Thanks for the kind words Sue! So glad you’re enjoying the new channel!

[@davcox100]

Hi guys. That was some job. No easy task to bring down a 100 foot tree with buildings all around. Even with the equipment you have. Gets me thinking how they did this back in the day without the modern equipment. Respect to you all.👏👏👏

[@TimberMates]

Thanks David!

[@rachelfranklin6304]

Dang, Brandon makes it look so easy lol! This was really fun to watch and a tad suspenseful. Kept holding my breath every time he let a piece go thinking it might land on the roof lol. Certainly was a tight space, I'm impressed ya'll were able to get in there! Looking forward to part two! :)

The lumberjacks that climb the tree to top them have to have B@ll$ of steal!! The way that tree shook when it was topped..😱 Enjoyed both videos.. BTW topping any tree from that height takes a pair!! Stay safe!

Thanks Teunis!! I'm honestly just amazed at every single job, the things this guy can do and the complicated situations he has to get a tree down in is wild! Thanks so much again for watching man!

[@dwrivers47]

Careena - you’re going to be ripped by the end of the summer doing that work. Very entertaining - Brandon is a pro with the chainsaw, amazing what he does with one hand left or right !

[@TimberMates]

Haha that’s what I’m hoping for💪🏼 And he sure is good at what he does! He amazes me at every job I swear!! Thanks so much for watching Derek!!

[@itsanorristhing3825]

What a view! Gorgeous smiles , Idk if I could go up in the little cart thingy with chainsaw in hand and not scream out "Who says God is not a woman lol" lmao because yes you gotta have your witts and brains at 110% when up that high. But feel half humbling and half empowering lol JUST MY OPINION PPL!!! You guys make it look easy! Whenever you have a good working chemistry things go great and it shows! You guys and both your channels are becoming my favoritez! Much Love❤ Carla❤

[@TimberMates]

CARLA! You are soo sweet thank you so so much! Very happy you’re enjoying our videos and we so appreciate your kind comments always!!

[@scooters10000]

I've been following Careena for years but this is a nice change, I cut at a buddies every Saturday we have 170 ash trees cut down and pulled out of the bush, ready to buck and split for next winter so this channel has its appeal for me as well as the bushcraft stuff. BTW I use the same buddy's bush to camp in now since we can't go anywhere else on southern Ontario. I'm not a Husky guy but that's like the Chevy Ford thing lol. Only use Stihl. You should try a Stihl top handle, you'll never go back. Anyway love the vids guys, hope it grows as fast as the other one. You guys make a great team.

[@TimberMates]

Lol Glad you're enjoying the channel, Thanks Scott! Brandon loves his Husqy Top handle, and STIHL is very un-accessible where we live, if something breaks down or we need a part it would be a long, annoying process. We live in a pretty small remote town and there's a Husky retailer not too far so its just easy, which is the main reason we go Husqy. Thanks for watching man! Glad you have somewhere to escape and go camping!

[@scooters10000]

@@TimberMates Access to parts is important and you will need parts using the Husky's lol, had to throw the dig sorry. I'm looking forward to more content on both channels, I hadn't commented for a while, used to be pretty regular on the other channel but this inspired me to check in again. Really enjoy the 2 of you, good luck.

It's nice watching professionals where personal and property safety are priority and then going and watching the fails who didn't want to pay a professional.

[@normanmallory2055]

That's a difficult task well done.. I like that lift , pretty handy machine, that looks safer than climbing a small tree that diameter.. geez your drone does such a great job filming.. Hope it's not to much to repair it..

[@stevethuss2707]

W O W, JUST AWESOME.

[@matthassel9026]

I only know the basics of tree felling, but was wondering if you ever use tethers for the saws so if something happens and you are caught by your body harness but drop your saw you can retain the equipment instead of it crashing to the ground when you are so high up.

[@TimberMates]

Great question, it's a lot of ropes and things to get snagged on in the basket already so I prefer not to use one unless I'm climbing. Sometimes I tie off my pole saw, really just depends on the situation.

[@zaynevanday142]

Wow that was impressive to watch ! Not only the difficulty of the tree 🌲 higher than the reach of the machine but the powerlines and the close proximity of the dwelling must say the drone shots are very cool 😎 pity about the drone mishap at the end

[@TimberMates]

Thanks Zayne!

iv been in a 100' man lift which was cool till you hit the lever on the pressure washer wand & it moved you like 3' the other way till you let off the lever!!! LOL learning curve there!!! BUT the best one was the 160' in a basket on the cable of a crane to the top of a concrete containment building!! the view along the river there was amazing!! the view you had there was gorgeous too!!! some people get weird bout being up like that, i have always enjoyed it tho!! thanks for sharing & be safe out there!! BTW what happened to the drone? bad landing or the tree branch fall on it after you landed it??

Thumbs up for sure. Stay safe

[@jelinektreeservice]

Nice job, get yourself a scabbard to hold the saw in your lift basket. It saves a lot of time.

[@TimberMates]

Thanks man, definitely been wanting one, just haven't got around to it yet, but I will for sure get one, would definitely save time

[@KJ6EAD]

Why no speedlining? This seemed like the perfect place for it. If you go up in the lift then rappel to the ground, how do you get the lift back down? Is there another console at the base?

[@TimberMates]

Didn’t really need to, it was only 2 or 3 branches that needed lowering. Didn’t bring the rigging for it either. And yes there are controls for the lift at the bottom too. Brandon taught me how to get the booms down in case something happens and he can’t control from the basket

[@patwhelan3307]

i love the video, please make more. when are you going to make more bushcraft videos, i love them also.

[@emf333]

That's quite a project!

[@ryanginthetree8346]

Nice work! Looks like you could invest in a bit more rigging gear though, maybe a speed line setup so Brandon wouldn't need to one hand the saw so much to control the limbs.

[@triumphrider572]

I'm really enjoying your new channel. It reminds me a bit of a working class hero over here in England by the name of Fred Dibnah. He did a similar thing with factory chimneys. No health and safety in his day though. He can be found on KZbin too.

[@FnLn55]

That was special - well done!

[@Rosy_87]

Looks like it went pretty smooth for a difficult job as long as the chipper cooperates during part 2, lol. Brandon, do you ever have to climb trees with foot spikes, and harness to the tree to limb them if they are too tall for your lift? That broken drone reminds me of my childhood. Everything I ever tried to fly always ended up smashed to pieces.

[@TimberMates]

Haha thanks for watching. Brandon hasn’t had to climb anything in years, its very rare he would need to since he can pretty much always just top a tree that is taller than the lift. But he has all the equipment and has done it before :)

[@michaels8706]

Very interesting way of approaching this tree. Why don't you climb? This would have been a fantastic tree for a speed line.

[@funnyriverred2501]

damn thats a lot of hard work!!!

[@johnmills7199]

I have done a lot of work out of a JLG basket but never cutting trees. Have used 210' booms mounted on 4 wheel drive frame that extend out to increase the wheel width for stability. You are using a trailer mounted basket which is not nearly as stable. Lot's of movement in the basket. It will scare the hell out of anyone.

Wow i never though of using one of my straps to hang the top i always use a big block and rop and lowe the top but when i take huge tops i get nevice like in this situation somthing can go wrong and home gets a sky light its not breaking that strap

[@JeffWinter1]

That's why liability insurance is necessary when doing those tricky tree removals. Plan for the worse and hope for the best. And drink lots of beer afterwards! 😅

[@SuperHurdman]

What would a job like this cost the owner's ? I am curious and how do you price your jobs? If you would like to share! I do it as a hobby as where I am you have to be able to do several jobs in order to make a living! I love working with tree removal and doing that type of work I am a welder by trade.

[@TimberMates]

There are many many factors the go into estimating a job. We will likely make a video about it sometime.

Does he ever get worried about hitting the house with the logs/branches he cuts? I held my breath every time one dropped haha

[@Cletus.223]

After working in the tree business myself for awhile actually have a hatred for Pine tree's...They are just so unpredictable when your cutting them...Not to mention how brittle they are when it comes to storms and high winds...Ugh...Yeah..

[@andrewdolan6502]

Hey you guys should consider getting some formal training! You are getting the job done but there are incredibly safer and more efficient ways to do tree work. Arboriculture Canada offers courses a couple of times a year in Ontario on basic rigging and other stuff- probably worth looking into for you guys. I'm not trying to bash you guys-youtube comment sections can get bad! I'm just trying to help out. Snatching that top like that is bad news. Assuming that tree was actually 100' tall and your lift is 72', setup 10-15' away from the tree itself probably only actually reaching 65ish feet of the tree so you would have taken a 35'ish top. A 35' top shouldn't be locked off - the force generated would have exceeded the working load limit of the strap- it doesn't have to break to exceed the limits of the strap, but if you continue to do stuff like this the strap will break ( like I said earlier with the getting hurt/ property damage) or the tree will fail. Buy the proper equipment to do the work- don't use tow straps and snaps from a hardware store. There are a few retailers in Ontario that carry all of the ropes and rigging gear you could ever need. (Maple leaf ropes, the arborist store, shepherds forestry supply- ask for Kurt) I know how easy it is for something to go wrong in tree work ( I've been climbing and running a bucket truck for 15 years) but not having the proper knowledge and training is setting you up for an accident. Sorry for sounding like a dick-trying to prevent an accident. If you ever need a contract climber send me a message.

[@tonymatthews445]

I'd love to be able to do that job, but I really really don't do height. :$

[@Rezorcful]

You said in an earlier video the weight limit was 500lbs.. would be nice to see some rope work, srt and rigging, or atleast spikes if you're removing the trees. Nice videos anyways

[@TimberMates]

Thanks! It's almost never worth it to spike/climb. It takes way more time, it's more dangerous and less practical than using the lift. However, that being said, sometimes it's necessary. Perhaps one day we'll get a job. that requires climbing, but in the mean time, I want to learn, so Brandons going to give me a climbing lesson at some point and we'll make a video about it :)

[@Rezorcful]

@@TimberMates I understand your investment in a lift only pays off if you use it every chance you get to do as many jobs a day as you can. But climbing is more interesting I'm a tree guy also, some fancy rigging and seeing her working a portawrap or grcs

[@TimberMates]

@@Rezorcful I agree, it's more interesting. But that's about it lol Lift is far more practical and worth its weight in gold saving ALLL kinds of time. A climber would take two days to do a monster tree we could take down easily in a few hours. I know this because our friend in town here climbs, took him 3 days to do a job we could have done in an afternoon. It's not worth our time to climb

[@timberg7377]

Heights is the only fear I have, I fell 75ft out of a tree, and ever since then, I can't do it, I literally get sick .
