Thanks Ben happy to have you as a part of the channel stay safe in the canopy ☝️👍

[@johanberger7324]

Great video Billy! Just found your chanel. As a 56 year old cereer changer, from fysiotherapy to treeclimber and one year in my own business i like your aproach and tips for us new guys. I´ve done a lot of different tree jobs this year, learned a lot and the only thing i regret is that i didn´t do it earlier🙂

[@sawbandits]

Big change man fairplay to ya. I hope the channel will help you in your new adventure and best of luck 👍

[@sweeney69728]

Great video well spoken and explained looking forward to a lot more as I’m new to this game so keep them coming👍🏻

[@sawbandits]

Thank you for that comment and best of luck in this crazy industry 🫣👍💪

[@louieintrees]

Great video! Im from surrey, uk and have been climbing for about a year and a half now. I find youtube videos have helped me so much to improve and and new techniques to my climbs to speed up my work. Its nice to see some UK tree work as i feel there isnt loads of people on youtube showing our work. I feel your video will definitely help someone looking to become a climber or just starting out.

Thank you Louie for subscribing much appreciated and it's great to hear an opinion like that from a fellow tree surgeon stay safe mate 👍👍

[@joeyboyle7591]

Fairplay Billy, great video. I'm an Irish lad living in Vancouver trying to learn the ropes of the industry. Thanks for making these videos, really helps new lads like me. Your explanations are really simple. I think that's key for learning in an industry that has so much technique and information. Keep the videos going, I look forward to them all the time. 👍

[@sawbandits]

Yes absolutely Joey evene being in the industry for 15 years can find some of the videos on techniques over whelming thank you for watching mate and good luck with your future in the trees 👍👍

[@xTHExJACKALx]

good video looking to get into this just to work on the farm but love to use it for a job, but yes slow is smooth and smooth is fast

[@sawbandits]

That’s it hope it works out for you mate stay safe

[@truckitprayle]

Brilliant video mate, i always wanted to be a tree a surgeon as i do love a bit of hard wood. Must feel so good, its good to see you are doing your bit for the environment with your battery saw.

[@sawbandits]

Finally came out good on ya mate.. Yep I'm all about the environment me 😊

[@LeeDaley-e3o]

Great video mate. Im fascinated by this trade. Id love to be able to get into this myself but at 35 I'm definitely past it 😂. But again, great video!

[@sawbandits]

Never to late to try mate I know guys that started in their 40,s thanks for watching

[@LeeDaley-e3o]

@@sawbanditsI'd love to, but I wouldn't know where to start. What's the first step?

[@sawbandits]

@@LeeDaley-e3o pick up the phone and call a few local companies and see if they need a hand on the ground. That way you can see if you would like the job without having to spend money on training then finding out it’s not for you

[@LeeDaley-e3o]

@@sawbandits thanks very much for the advice mate 👍🏻

[@justrighttreecare9370]

Great day. Fantastic video as always Billy! 👏

[@sawbandits]

Cheers buddy ✌️✌️

[@geroreilly9690]

I have watched all your videos and think this best And most practical from an Irish perspective. These kind of trees are our bread and butter so very applicable! Great advice on leaving the pegs to help you climb on 👌 Also - I know your joking/taking the piss and all that but pls stop calling yourself fat. I know all the lads you work with take the piss about it etc but your a top climber in my eyes and I dont care what size you are. Keep up the good work brother 💪

[@sawbandits]

Lol 🤣 cheers mate but seriously i take no insult to heart mate I've thick skin pardon the pun 😂 but really appreciate your kind words the world really needs people like you out there because there are people out there that need to hear words like that appreciate having you as viewer mate 🙏✌️👍👍

@@mrgardner6405 how could I forget that legend 🤭

[@treeworksch6959]

Great video! Some very good advices for the new ones. Reg Coates is legendary (whether he wants it or not, haha) and most climbers, beginners or experts, can still learn something from him. I would, also, highly reccomend Dan's channel ''Climbing Arborist''. They have some of the most valuable teaching videos out there (at least for me). Have a nice sunday and take care

[@sawbandits]

Absolutely his a legend. How can I forget Climbing Arborist 🤯 thanks buddy catch you on the next one

[@robertsekutowicz5842]

Fantastic work 👏 👍

[@sawbandits]

Thank you Robert

[@notachance374]

For smaller trees, short a few full, getting to the top to set a canopy anchor is pointless. Similar to the tree you were in. Nice work I watch all the guys you mentioned. Cheers from Eastern Canada

[@sawbandits]

Thanks brother happy new year

[@jamesstewart8024]

Good video billy, I’m just starting out myself 👍

James Welcome to the gang keep watching mate and hopefully it will help in some way appreciate your time taken to watch and comment and best of luck with the future mate 👍✌️

[@StobieOutdoorServices]

Good work I’m not a beginner going on 6-7 years now. But I do teach tree climbing as part of my full time job as a teacher at a vocational school. I teach them a lot of the same things you talk about in this video. Only thing I would say is instead of leaving branches sticking out for positioning purposes try spar device (I personally use a buckingham tree squeeze.) I tell, beginner climbers not to leave anything that could impale you if you were to slip.

[@sawbandits]

Hay Stobie thanks for stoping by im not sure ive herd of a tree squeeze could you tell me some more about it please and thank you

[@StobieOutdoorServices]

@@sawbandits Sure thing it works as a choking lanyard. The main part goes around the trunk or spar of the tree you’re working on, but it can also be used as a fraction saver. I tend to mostly use it doing spire work and chunking down the trunk of a tree once around the trunk of the tree, you simply feed your end of your DRT climbing system through the small ring and through the Big ring attach it back to you. Then adjust the ring that has the prusik till it’s at the tree. It’s tuff to see it and the video is unedited but I use it in my Father’s Day eve video to chunk down a spar of a red pine.

[@sawbandits]

@@StobieOutdoorServices cheers mate i will check it out

[@Tommy-ql1pj]

How many ground guys would you say you need for an efficient & speedy clean up? Really enjoyed this video btw 👍🏻

[@sawbandits]

Hi Tommy apologies for the late reply. That’s a good question but a hard one to answer because every job is different and needs a different approach but it is very important to have groundsman that have good experience on the ground and willing to put a good shift in if you take on a young lad or a newbie having also having an experienced groundsman will help him learn and leave the harder or more technical jobs to the experienced guy giving the climber and the new guy time to concentrate on their tasks. In a nutshell a good groundsman is worth his weight in gold.

[@PTSLufthansaAirlines]

Ngl super entertaining

[@zigaudrey]

Tree surgery? Dang. First time I heard it. Gotta play the doctor for trees!

[@adventurecub7687]

I notice in some of your previous videos you used a husqvarna electric top handle and now onto stihl. Which do you prefer? Going by online comparison the husky seems to have the upper hand. Just difficult getting on these days it seems.

[@sawbandits]

Video will be coming in the near future mate but normally if a large majority are saying something its normally correct but we will try and compare the two throughly thanks for watching the channel your time is appriciated 👍👍

[@adventurecub7687]

@@sawbandits thanks mate, yeah that would be a shout. Well you know what it’s like, it’s easy to review a saw side by side cutting a wee log but the true review comes from using them every day on site. Look forward to more videos, thanks !

[@sawbandits]

@@adventurecub7687 yep your spot on.. im hoping over the christmas break that video will be out hope to see your name pop up on the comments 👍

[@maisymorris7506]

How long and how much did it cost please?

[@sawbandits]

Hi Maisy it all depends on what route you take. For example if you start off as a ground worker with no training it cans take years to get fully qualified but the company you work for will probably pay for your courses if you just want to pay for them yourself you could do it in a year but you would lack the on site experience. You would be looking at the guts of €10000 that would include chipper ticket Polesaw , groundsaw , and climbing and probably rigging in tree too I hope that helps

[@maisymorris7506]

Oh I meant to tell the tree as we have a similar one x
