2 Hemlock tree removals in the sun & snow

Join Dan (climbing Arborist & Grizzly tree experts) on a glorious Winters day out in western Canada soaking up the sunshine with snow on the ground. Dan is tasked with 2 Western Hemlock trees to remove, 1 live and 1 very nearly dead. The job is to get the trees down safely and leave all debris on site (which is nice). There are a few things to avoid (house and power lines) so we decided to bring the trees down the safe way, in small pieces.

Good presentation, glad there's no rock music playing, no fast-forward chipmunks, enjoyed it, keep up the good work!

[@Bluecollar711]

Did you get a little nervous there brother?? Well I'm glad that you are man enough to admit that you're a little scared at times because I'm scared all the time when I'm on the ground LOL

[@stephenlawlor211]

Good call topping the dead one out ! Nice work !

[@jamiedavies6445]

Excellent video Dan!

[@terryhale9006]

Minus 5 Fahrenheit is definitely cold. Minus 5 Celsius is just cold. I'll avoid either.

[@alltree78]

No clean up definitely my favorite. Great job

Great job guys 💯💯

[@roandixon9237]

What is the purpose of installing the pull line?

[@andreasheij]

Allright... So.... When and how and why do you choose to use the chainsaw and when the handsaw? Seems totally random to me.....

[@adamworboys9732]

Handsaw when he needed to keep hold of the branch been cut. Chainsaw when you can let the branch drop without holding on to it, therefore keeping two hands on thw chainsaw whilst using it.

[@northernninjarunner5506]

Where in BC? I was over last year lovely country

[@Jamasterev]

What's the purpose of the two little cuts you make on either side before you cut the trunk? Like at 8:24 I've seen a lot of guys do those or multiple on each side but I've never heard anyone explain them.

[@ClimbingArborist]

This technique is mainly used on coniferous trees, it is done to prevent the bark holding on and ripping down the stem instead a clean break with the hinge. It can give the climber a bit of a surprise and pull on the lanyard (with larger tops) as well as potentially altering the fall direction of the piece (slightly). Its more of a habit on small pieces

[@Jamasterev]

That makes sense. Thanks! Keep up the videos, I'm a big fan.

[@josephirving9317]

How's the breathedry?

[@erik30012]

how was the muffler modded? do you have some details?

[@northernninjarunner5506]

How tall were the Hemlocks?

[@eliezerbarros7564]

What model of chainsaw do you use when standing on top of the tree?

[@stephenneeson5194]

He was using a ported stihl ms150

[@eliezerbarros7564]

Stephen Neeson thanks you

[@a_l_i_x_]

Stephen Neeson ported ? Can u explain that? Thanks

[@eliezerbarros7564]

AliK ZeY Sure! This model is smaller, more portable, so it is better to use when standing on top of the tree. It's lighter.

[@ArborRails]

Gravy

[@treechildu.s.a1953]

Why don't you like hemlock ?

[@ClimbingArborist]

They often seem weak, always fail here on the Westcost sometimes with no signs of defects from the outside, and they often get attacked by decay.

[@treechildu.s.a1953]

Climbing Arborist they use to be very abundant here in SC we still have some but they are very sickly. They where attacked by some type of wood beetle before my time. I have a huge co-dominant One on my property that has dead tops from lighting strike that has to be climbed. I'm not familiar with the wood so thanks for the heads up

[@WeLoveitOutWest]

MS 150 T? Your tree saw that is

[@ClimbingArborist]

Yeah, it's modified so has a bunch more power than standard, I love how lightweight it is

[@TheTreeBailey]

a bit sketchy? lol that tree was fine little more experience in dead trees could go a long ways m8.

[@najnajbolji]

is this Silky Sugoi?

[@stephenneeson5194]

Looked like a silky zubat 330mm

[@ClimbingArborist]

Silky SUGOI 420
