Andrew I am impressed that you even did this job. Most people that do property management would not even consider doing it because of the time and profit/loss ratio on a job like this.

I am always amazed by how much stuff he can jam into that old Ford dump truck. I did not think he was going to make it all in one load - not sure anyone else could have done that. This man is one of a kind.

[@christopherc6326]

I have a lot of respect for you. You are doing good work and are very knowledgeable. One thing that I have noticed in a few of your other videos is your saw work. As a former landscaper and climber for a tree service, always notch your standing trees and heavy limbs. Be careful out there and keep it up.

[@newtubefag]

By the way, if you wash with Dawn it works really well to get those oils off. Leaves your skin feeling super dry but it always washes away any troublesome stuff (ivy, oak, sumac, etc)

[@northjerseykevin409]

thatrealguydan - your right. I was watching something on poison ivy and they were talking about how you have to treat it like how you would wash oil or grease off your skin. Washing it multiple times and really scrubbing at it with a rag or towel multiple times.

[@joeg9920]

You can also neutralize it by dampening a rag with kerosene and wiping the affected area.Works rather quickly.

[@dennisfahlstrom7422]

I like your attention to detail as shown in the way that you clean up as much as you can before leaving. That’s the sort of thing that is valued by clients because it has become rare these days. I’d bet You have a lot of repeat customers and good referrals.

[@bcouri1]

just for the record the poison ivy oil can still be active on any clothes you wore that day, for a while, and also can splatter oil on you if you cut it with a chainsaw or use a weedwhacker. ask how i know..

[@garymurt9112]

Don't forget if you burn it the smoke can cause some people respiratory damage.

Hi Andrew didn't think you would get that on one load, impressive. I thought you might tip over a few times but you managed well.

[@abelwrate4330]

I am planning to rent an excavator and a tracked skidsteer to remove the stumps where I want to build a garage, but the other areas just cover the trees with fill dirt. I will also need to use some forks to pick up most of the roots in the yard. 38 trees removed last year and now just need to clean it up. Been watching your video's and they are awesome.

You got it exactly right about the poison ivy. The five-leaved vine is commonly called Virginia Creeper and is, for the most part, completely harmless. They are, as you said, often found growing together.

[@warrenjones497]

Camera tip over at the end was a surprise! Glad you included that bit.

[@billgordon5717]

Some people are not affected by poison ivy. I was one of them. I was the one who always got the job of ripping out vines. On the other hand, some people are really vulnerable and get the itchy rash much worse than an average case. It was a long time ago, but I recall burning poison ivy had its risks too. Check me on that one. If a dog runs through it, people who snuggle with them will get it. Most of all, just learn to recognize it and give it a wide berth. Thanks Andrew, for showing it.

[@crashk6]

The five leaf stuff is Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), perfectly harmless and a very nice climbing vine that because it climbs with "sucker pads" won't damage structurally sound masonry (unlike like english ivy which destroys walls and fences by rooting into it), great for that country cottage look. The three leaf stuff, poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), Is a climbing vine too, but it destroy walls, and eventually kills whatever other plant it climbs on by rooting in and steeling nutrients and water. It will also kill all your hopes and dreams of a fun summer. The two great things about poison ivy is the winter color (dramatic reds), and it can be used to make poison ivy toilet paper for those persons' non-grata. *GRIN*

[@throngcleaver]

Leaves of five, let it thrive. Leaves of three, turn and flee.

[@SalandFindles]

+throngcleaver You're clearly forgetting about poison oak, which is what he clearly touched in this video. LOL! I have some growing on my fence in the same exact manner.

[@MrCSSTRIKS]

Not everyone is affected by poison ivy/oak. I've ran through fields of it hundreds of time and have never gotten it, nor a mosquito bite.

[@throngcleaver]

SalandFindles I live in the Midwest, and the poison oak we have here has only 3 leaves in each cluster. What Andrew touched is what Gregory Graham mentioned: Virginia Creeper. We have tons of that where I live as well.

[@bigjohn1154]

Leaves of 7 ,,,,, dry it and smoke it.

[@froggleggers1805]

It was Virginia Creeper, yep.

[@johnallen8463]

That five leafed vine is called Virginia Creeper. As for protecting yourself from getting poison ivy rash after working in it, take a shower with Dawn dish washing soap. Removes all the poison ivy oils from your skin. Been using this for year's and have never got the rash. Great videos!

[@CranialAccess]

Another great video! Looks like the tree was down for a while. You always do great work with the bucket smoothing things out! Loved the final clip knocking over the camera!

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

Fels Naptha soap after exposure Andrew, works great, it's a laundry soap but it keeps you from getting poison oak or ivy

[@bnadit1949]

I always use Dawn and a cold shower and then if I do end up getting it Fels Naptha is great because it soothes the burn and itch.

[@DieselRamcharger]

Naptha is an industrial adhesive remover. ;)

[@williamdegnan4718]

Oddly enough, BEER is a good expedient wash for oily stuff like Poison ivy. Add a few drops of dish or hand soap. There's both water and alcohol, and you can drink the other five from a six-pack. There are some pricey over the counter treatments. Guess what's in them? Well, a bunch of stuff. See what you like better.

[@arlingtonguy54]

The five leaf vine looks like Virginia Creeper which has no irritants. I have both vines all over my property and learned early on which was which.

[@buffalostate1]

yes virginia creeper. 3 leaves let it be.

[@lumberjaketreeservicellc4002]

Virginia creeper does have irritants. To certain people with sensitive skin it will become a rash. I too have it all over my property. I live in northern Illinois and the ivy and creeper have taken over. Poison sumac and oak are basically non existent around me.

My son and I are both immune to poison ivy. Working around the farm, I've been grateful many times. My wife, on the other hand, has to get a hormone shot every time she gets exposed. She's so sensitive one time one of our goats licked her, and it had been eating poison ivy early that day, and gave her a raging case of it. If you are interested, goats love both poison ivy, and kudsu. Don't bother with herbicides, just borrow some goats! :)

The entire eastern seaboard is nearly as tree dense here in the U.S. I live in north Georgia & even if you clear an area down to dirt, in 15-20 years it's easily back to forest again on its own. Keeping the trees & brush at bay is more of a worry than cutting back too much. I work for the railroad & we have "vegetation control" guys that is all they do it make sure we can see around curves & see signals, but trees are constantly overgrowing the right-of-ways. Tree service companies are numerous around here!

And when it does--while not fatal--it is about one of the most uncomfortable things you'll ever have to endure.

[@jaquigreenlees]

@@julianadams5753 not fatal to inhale the oils in smoke? For most people, but if someone has asthma that may not be the case. An irritant like that in the lungs of an asthmatic person would be a trigger, until they managed to get rid of the irritant. The sufferer would need to use Ventolin at overdose levels while on their way to hospital / emergency medical care. Can't breathe, not going to live. Overdose levels of Ventolin is any more than 8 puffs a day of the medication. ( my prescription is at 8 puffs a day just to allow me to breathe )
