How far up a dead hemlock is it safe to climb?

[@alexworks9659]

Nice job! Great to see other guys way of doing same thing. Note: Try cutting the limbs slightly into stem, it’ll bend/peal down without the mid branch splitting/ pointy stub. Cheers 🤙🏽💪🏽

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

Awesome advice, will try that out for sure.

[@MarilynSmith-b9q]

I like your outdoor office! It's nice to see the branches come down and not the people!

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

Haha that is always plan A

REally like the way you do your commentary. Quite different to other arb videos I watch. It fills in the gaps where I often have questions coming up about a tie in method or perhaps rigging choice as examples.

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

I'm really stoked to hear that! It's totally my intention to explain and keep the down time in the videos to a minimum.

Great video. Those hemlocks get big out west 😅 And I love the Makita, I’ve got the 36v one. They’re great.

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

Nice! We have the DUC356 as well and it is great. Yeah they do get big eh - a lot bigger than this too!

Thank you!

[@peterkealey1626]

Super interesting to see the process and decision-making that goes into taking down a tree of that size.

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

Glad you're finding them interesting! Thanks for he support!

[@andrearoper7641]

Nice 'after-clean-up' tour. I noticed some sawdust on the roof in some earlier segments. Did those get cleaned up too?

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

Thanks! Yep, the guys got the roof all cleaned off too with the rake and blower!

[@Jacquienh]

Really hard to watch when you’re afraid of heights 😂 great job!

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

Thank you! Tree climbing does not mix well with a fear of heights haha

Great work, awesome video bro. Im a rookie arborist trying to learn as much as i can so I have a quick question... why cut such tiny pieces on the trunk? I heard your explanation and I completely understand the risks of a rotted hemlock and not wanting to rig timber sized pieces but why cut 100 little 4 inch disks when you could have easily/safely cut 35 or 40 16inch chunks? The 3 hours it took would have been cut in half with half the cuts. Just wondering why u went with cookies instead of firewood sized chunks?

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

Glad you are enjoying it!! I cut them that small because they are heavy haha! I needed to be able to throw them into the driveway and lower down the trunk there was no way I would be able to throw a 16" piece of that thing. Western hemlock is heavy and near the bottom a 16" bolt would be 200+ lbs. Too much for me to twist and throw on spurs. I would have cut larger and tipped them off if I had a bigger drop zone.

[@PatKuntz]

@SidsTreeServiceLtd that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the reply

[@andrearoper7641]

Mommy brain goes 'Yikes!' every time you use your hand to sweep away sawdust in the notch. Isn't there a non-loved-one's-limb method?

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

Haha funny enough that's probably the least dangerous thing I did in the whole video.

[@tomlorenzen4062]

Is funner a word??😅

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

Maybe not but saying more fun isn't funner.

[@andrearoper7641]

50 logs... oh way off, haha

[@SidsTreeServiceLtd]

Haha there is way more wood in those things than it seems eh! Sabrina guessed 25 lol

[@carolecochrane2854]

Your kill count😂

[@5axestreeservice]
