There's so much sap because it ordered it from Sappy Supplies .Great job again from the greatest group the "Sap Street Boyz" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ttrguy9952]

You and Randy are the most fun to watch! Hilarious!!! AND you two get the job done like nobody else could do! What a team!!

[@Wannabearborist]

5:49 “They don’t make em like they used to” ~every old man

[@Treehandler]

Always good having two climbers on a crew. One guy always steps up when an unexpected climb is necessary to complete the job. It’s dangerous enough when you’re motivated to climb, Nevermind when you’re not mentally prepared for it

[@jackmoyer2174]

I’m always in awe of how you young guys throw those big saws around like they weigh nothing! I may be 64, but my 461 w/ 32” bar is all I can manage for occasional firewood cutting.

[@artillerest43rdva7]

you make such a great team as arborist! neat seeing that tree go down safely, and smoothly.

[@rwc2504]

16:00 that was an awesome shot of the holding wood! Nice work

[@fabianpachoek7731]

Good job and love watching your videos on KZbin

[@SugarrAyO]

Bringing That saw out reminded me of Jed… RIP to one of the greats

[@SugarrAyO]

The helmet too! Runnin the Jed walters setup haha

[@D-EagleMachines-on6dg]

Exciting stuff! Can't wait to see the step-by-step process of felling a 40" fir tree.

[@benp2612]

Cool slow-mo of the tree going over and the hinge release

[@rydplrs71]

I almost bought a 395 last week. The price was right. I’d never use it won the debate. I still want it. 😅

[@Prisonmike89]

He finally said TIMBERRR haha

[@ernq2689]

It"s nice to see Randy! Keep up the good work!

[@E.Meyers]

Holy Moly! The slo-mo visual and audio was awesome!! 😎

[@Cent51]

It always amazes me how leaves and branches can have so much holding force, especially on a massive tree..

[@_hotrod_]

13:49 randy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I friggen love when you guys work together!❤ the videos are always sooo good!!

[@davidmoffitt7297]

We love to see you and Randy working together ! Makes for a great video ..wouldnt miss you for quids !

[@matthay2606]

I feel like Antone would critique that jack fit. 😂

[@aj06bolt12r]

That little bit of holding wood is soo strong.. Its amazing

[@TremaineLea]

Maybe scribe inches onto the jack bar with a dremel or thin file depending on how precise you want?

[@corytuggle385]

Nice drop that was a big tree i have 6 plus foot cedars in my dads yard and giant maples

[@anthonyberube6768]

Nice job, it's very interesting and funny too, thanks Jacob and Randy to share your experience, stay safe!🪓🪓🪓

[@compdude551]

The sound it made was awesome!

[@user-rh1ec6ep5x]

We had similar problems with the 572’s. Hard to beat the 395

[@JT-tz5hp]

You and Randy are the dream team!

[@kelvingrebert7315]

another great job Randy, Jake. great vid as usual

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Tough Tree 🌳 Nice Wood 🪵 Great Job Guys God Bless

[@lindaarbogast6499]

You two are a great team. Jacob that helmet scares me, you keep looking up just like Jeb did and it didn’t protect him. You had some falling branches and I can’t even imagine what would have happened if you hadn’t run out from under that tree. Consider using the green helmet with the face shield please. You are precious to your family and your friends in addition to the fans here on KZbin. Be safe and so glad Randy was there to help you. Good felling of this sappy tree!

[@Bigfoot_fixes_all]

You should review a saw from the 1970s and compare it to a saw from the 2000s

[@howardlashbrook8500]

I cut an old growth fir in the 1980's that I got 3 quarts of sap out of. Thank you for sharing this video

[@jeffharvey6768]

Great job Jake.... Randy is valuable too.

[@mikepike79]

One hanger fell right where u were after u bolted off pumping the second pops of holdingwood.

[@dellgregg4663]

Stihl really needs to take the same tech from the 500i and make a 90cc class saw. The 661 seems like a dog compared to the 90cc class Huskys.

[@markchamberlin7990]

Good hinge!

[@chichitex1252]

Great video! Great work from both of you! Such a beautiful world!❤❤❤

[@bobwiese6128]

Well done. Great job guys.

[@julianalderson3938]

Great vid that jacks awesome'

[@michaelpayne8102]

Beautiful job, :)

[@jeremybuchanan4759]

"I've gotten myself into some predicaments doing that ..." :)

[@tbabajan]

I need some of that sap for my boot grease!!!

[@DrHavok1]

stage 5 clinger man... lol those are the ones that always make our stomachs flutter cause they just don't make sense sometimes

[@martinzich235]

Have you thought about using a mechanical wedge with an impact drill? It's mayby expensive, but it saves me a lot of time and energy. For me, it's worth it.

[@iffykidmn8170]

If you cant heft(wimp) a half wrap, try back barring to set the kerf in the back cut and then flip the saw.

[@wraithchild666]

Surprised Randy didn't stay in the tree to ride it down when you cut it ;) he could have cut out any hang ups that way. He's such a man(dy) i'd expect nothing less!

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. Nice drop.

[@codblkops85]

I figured you'd leave Randy up there in case there were any more limbs to remove

[@williewombat1851]

Randy! stop using all those big words with Jake, you'll only confuse him, just let him get on with the sawing, THAT he's good at! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the post, always good to catch up with what you're up to Jake, hope you managed to find the guys you needed a while ago.

[@timfunk5084]

395’s are good saws but they will rattle apart got to keep good maintenance on them. Nice video

[@corytuggle385]

Im going to order one of them ratcheting screnchs if i had it my bar nuts wouldnt be rounded

[@rickstafford5316]

Very cool drop Nice work

[@sawmillsam7156]

If a branch falls and hits your hard hat you don't need to worry about plastic or metal. If it is large enough to penetrate the helmet it will break your neck, helmet or no helmet!

[@thomasmacek5745]

AWESOME

[@woodworker3122]

Nice job boys. Now I want pancakes.

[@55VickyV]

The poor tree was crying because it knew it was going to die! 😊 🇨🇦

[@batmantiss]

"I want to use my jack" that's like me with my Hobbs...

[@jonnyfischer4035]

I would recomend to get rid of the 592 the carburator version 585 is a better saw little less hp but so reliable i love it pulls a 42 inch bar without a problem

[@Michael-qx5pe]

would you ever shim that gap on top of the jack in order to be able utilize all of its lifting height, or is that a no-no?

[@guillermocarrillo3959]

With that much sap it looks like that was a healthy tree. I wondered why it was being cut down ?

[@sprucecoastpress]

My 592 been ballin' and shot-callin' for months...no issues whatsoever.

[@MobtownGeorge]

SUPER SAPPY !! 🌲

[@markroper9269]

Good job!

[@williamsolomon1307]

Excellent technique. Thanks! Btw, look like an old video that you just released

[@milstuff4530]

What's up Jacob you don't climb anymore ? Seems randy has been doing the climbing in the last vids.😢😢😢

[@ryangouger1991]

Awesome vid digging the vest anyone know what kinda vest it is?

[@jacobvantuinen5426]

very sapisfying.

[@owenroberts212]

Got those tree jacks on sappy supply yet?

[@davidbraun9309]

That is a lot of "sap", resin, really. Did you figure out why it had so much? I have found it comes from ring shake or radial cracks in the outer sapwood. However, looks like there is some discolored wood in the stump and end of the butt log. Could have had root or butt rot, and the tree reacted to that by making lots of resin. Cutting the stump at the ground might have given you some more clues. It would be important to know if you have brown cubical rot or laminated root rot on the property, as it is usually in multiple trees, and they can fail suddenly even if green. Looked like this tree had some crown die-back, another symptom. Another reason arborists or loggers don't sit on fresh fir stumps!

[@codywinfrey565]

When is he going to create guilty of Randy

[@martinzich235]

Have you thought about using a mechanical wedge with an impact drill? It's expensive, but it saves me a lot of time and energy. For me, it's worth. Otherwise well done.

[@tatehogan5685]

Soooo sappy

[@jbsimmons54]

Q: how does a voluminous amount of sap affect the chain and bar while cutting? Any splash with the chips towards the faller from the bottom part of chain? What do you use to clean chain of sap?

[@stephenc2296]

I’m surprised that tree cutters don’t have toe jacks. When a tree hangs up and you have a 1” slit that you cut having a 10 ton jack could save a life.

[@joycealgood8418]

WOW Great job Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@appoutfeed]

What vest are you wearing?

[@Forstbua]

I think its the Filson mackinaw wool vest western style

[@Crouse_Property_Maintenance]

Eddie Hall just did a climbing video on his channel. Maybe you guys could get him to come out to climb some trees? He should be in the US for World's Strongest Man in May.

[@DigitalIP]

If it smells good i would have put some in a cup or a jar and used it as an air freshener.

[@prtech7805]

I like 661C-M more than 592xp and 395❤

[@prtech7805]

I like join your team❤

[@TB-zw7dt]

So much sap. Nice.

[@TB-zw7dt]

I just thought about calling sap, "tree blood". My perspective, for a second, varied a notch out of conservation mindedness. Ultimately, I love and am grateful for trees and what they provide. "Tree juice" works I suppose. I think I still have some vintage turpentine, and maple syrup on hand, among other products. Thanks for the vids.

[@stuart6973]

The 585 is a way better saw than the 592xp I love the 395 too

[@graystonegardens1642]

Randy Norris...🤔😜

[@br-dj2ti]

Yeah Jake I called matson's a while back because you always talk about them reporting saws and I'm in Pittsburgh they said they would not do it for me because you're not allowed to ship ported saws that's news to me cuz I get them sent to me all the time from all over the country maybe you could talk to them and see if they can change that they could probably get some good business God bless Jake

[@mikegott3364]

They put a decomp in saws for a reason. 592 run quite a bit of timing stock and starter kicks stock. Yours was ported if I remember correctly so it should have more compression too, which is even harder on the starter. As far as the idle issue, maybe whoever ported it has done something wrong causing an air leak possibly. When they warrantied the oil line did they hook it up to the computer and check for diagnostic codes? I’ve had my 592 for 3 years already and it’s been trouble free and runs like a scalded dog, same for my 572’s! To be honest not sure why you even have it, you’ve always been a Stihl guy along with your buddy Gordy so any issue at all is going to be amplified with your dislike for them anyway. Instead of complaining on your Chanel why not get it to whoever worked on it for you and tell them to make it right! There is numerous hard wood fallers running them without issues.

[@katiecouper1199]

[@David-K460]

Do you guys wear chaps ever, or are the pants you wear so kind of chaps Good work love the videos

[@jbsimmons54]

Jake wears special saw stop pants.

[@user-tk4wd3yy2i]

💪💪💪💪💪👌👌

[@streetbob2155]

is that tree covered in poison ivy?

[@jackmoyer2174]

That’s English ivy. Non-native nuisance!

[@johnosullivan8116]

First in jake 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@danmcburney3247]

👍👍👊👊❤

[@pjbth]

Don't get a full handle, use it as an excuse to need another set of chainsaws a right cut and a left cut one honey just like shoes they come in pairs.

[@owenroberts212]

Not Randy spiking the non removal 🫣 jk good work boys I had a similar job today 😂

[@rickstafford5316]

Very cool drop Nice work
