When I started following channels on You Tube years ago the first one was doing tree work. I have always been fascinated by you guys rigging limbs to get huge trees down in extremely tight places. I am enjoying you channel because you travel around so we can see challenges with different type trees in areas we usually don’t see and you work with some awesome people using different methods,gear and equipment. Just had to let you know I appreciate your channel and glad I subscribed. Keep up the good work! 👍👍👍

Tree Surgeon for 16 years here, instead of cutting straight through stubs, do a step cut free fall, the snap pop lets the stub fall of more vertical, than a cut straight through, for smaller stuff, use a "slash" cut, 45-degree angle, fast sharp saw, one cut and the limb will fall at the same angle it is on the tree. I did power line safety clearance, working close or above the power network, needed precise cuts and skill, i held WL1 Scottish Power authorisation, we could get closer to the live lines than most linesmen.

I did a Douglas Fir tree like that in the late 80's in a town called Carver, Oregon. It too was about 170 feet tall, or more. I put a pull line about 15 feet from the top and then dropped down around 15 feet to top it. After I did the cut and the top toppled off there, it seemed like it took forever to hit the ground. I needed the pull line because the tree was about 10 feet from a home, so I wanted to do my best to not let it go the wrong way. I took another 50 feet out of it the same way. After that I quit climbing because it was too exciting. All these years later I just can't think about it. I wasn't strong enough to get even that tiny mac 10 up the tree, so I got up there and used a rope to pull it up. I was foolish to do that job but I had a hard time with NO.

I’ve had the Holz 372 for a couple years and I have put a couple hundred tanks through it. Their pull ropes are junk, I replaced mine (and all my broken pull ropes) with bulk 550 paracord. The muffler bolts wiggle loose and need loctite. The saw came way too lean for having a completely hollow muffler so I fattened mine up a bit. The chain tensioner is chincy but has held up. The 25:1 recommended mix is WAY too rich after break-in so I’ve run 40:1 with synthetic oil ever since with no issues. Other than a few small things like your buddy said, it is an amazing chainsaw for the $300 I paid for it. Literally pops first pull just like day one! Even had an unlimited coil and a legit Bosch spark plug.

I have seriously studied you and my respect for you grows, along. Farmers around here (Iowa) let me practice in their timber ground. But, the "tree people" here would go without instead of hiring a "climber. I have accumulated a fair number of hours climbing and doing direction aimed cuts and falls but they would rather do a lousy job with upper trunks being a "where will it fall?" I am not giving up. I will advertise my skills and what a customer might need and let the "Tree Services" need me. They know where to find me. Oddly enough, in a building I am afraid of heights, but in a tree, do not even think about the height. I can do an "audition" for any serious inquiry. I have learned enough from you, and a few others , to sit back and wait. It hardly feels like work to me. But, my odds are better high up in a tree than they were in a sprint car!

Amazing stuff. I just wonder how you avoid cutting your own safety ropes sometimes but I see you seem to have two ropes around the tree at anyone time. All I climb a tree for, is to attach a rope going down to the back of my tractor, to put some tension on, to make sure the tree falls in the correct place if I have any doubt. Great video and very informative.

As a tree climber I know these guys are in superb physical condition. This work require use of all body skeletal muscles.

Jake don’t let trolls get to you. Yes August is an amazing tree man but how many years does he have on you. With any career the longer you do it the better you get. I’m just starting out and you work circles around what I can do. Keep up the amazing work and great content

Amazing video! You make the entire process look so easy which I know, it is not. I don't see any smoke from your saws. If you don't mind sharing, what brand 2cycle oil do you use and at what ratio? Your chains look magnificently sharp throughout the entire process. Do you do the sharpening? Tools used? Can't wait to watch the next video!

In 1975 I bought a Stihl 020 as a firewood saw for us and others. It was worked hard but kept clean and serviced. From 1985 to 1995 I ran it on Amsoil @ 100:1 and it "loved" it, even though such a lean mix sort of went against the grain and against ardent doom prophets' advice. I no longer used firewood after '95 so the saw was passed on to a friend. I'd be interested in an arborist's take on that matter as chainsaws are your tools of trade whereas mine was largely seasonal and intermittent. (I learned the hard way NEVER lend your saw to another, even a friend!) Col, NZ

There was a product (here-U.S.) called "Optimol" that we ran 40 years ago. Never burned any saws up from that (used skidder-oil in the oiler with metal bits crashed the crank once) but if it oils enough, they do like the lean mix-

With your website you could make it to where you're a staple in the arbor industry. Make like an interactive map of the world that people can click on certain areas and see the common trees there as well as the common methods used to care or cut them. (Just saw your video on the palm trees and thought was really neat). Where people can also do like a request system and ask you to do a tree type in a particular region. And then you could have a link to your video that pertains to that particular tree if people want to see how it's done. I think it'd be cool as part of your tree expedition around the world, and it'd bring traffic to your website as well as to your channel. Love your content, keep it up!
