My first in-tree removal

First time climbing up and piecing down a tree. Many thanks to coworker Joe for allowing me the opportunity, and for the patience as after reviewing the video, I was working at a snails pace. Safety first of course, but I must get more efficient.
Swapped out the 201T for me modified one with 16" bar over the stock with 14", in case you were wondering.

Glad I'm not the only one that still wach3s this vid

[@shiloot4899]

one of the very first if not the first tree climbing video ive ever watched 3-4 years ago. it was what made me want to do it. after finishing school for arboriculture and doing it for 2 seasons, going on my third, im having fun doing it, learning lots, and making decent money. looking forward to the next year or two when i start slowly opening my own tree service. thanks a lot corey, you inspired me a lot

[@Stan_in_Shelton_WA]

2016 to 2019, you've learned a lot.

[@tymesho]

LOL, another that I've not seen!? Sorry, I have to laugh, because it brings back memories when I first climbed. Thanks for this, Corey.

[@1975dbryant]

I love your job as well. It's the best office. In the whole wide world💪😎

[@taylorwyant778]

Dude you come such a long way congratulations

[@giovannidimatteo8158]

I like that twist in the lanyard idea, usually I wrap mine around the trunk once but the twist seems much faster.

[@ryanalbright6510]

Attitude is every thing. Loving your labor is great. We all had our start. The guys I don't get are the ones who act pissed off that that they have to work at something they tried so hard to get the job in the first place.

[@TheSparkyBrand]

I always feel like I’m gonna go to the right or left when my rope is up like that. I hate that shit. It’s the worst feeling ever but you knocked that thing down like a pro. Way to go man. You’ve came a long way. I like going back and watching your first climb and watching you in more recent videos. Bad ass Human

[@AndreasAsprou]

Hi cory! I found your channel about 3 weeks ago and immediately became a fan! now I check everything! thanks for your honesty and inspiration human!!

[@Bluecollar711]

Anybody that wants to give you advice make sure they call you and specifically tell you step-by-step by step by step by step what it is like they are trying to tell you because if you miss one little thing it could only be detrimental don’t listen to what you read anybody that wants to help will reach out and help you but you have excelled beyond believe brother you are one of the best climbers now

I just got into climbing and rigging. Love your videos and attitude mr. Human

[@Jeff0722]

Good job Cory

[@codmod2killer]

good job. with time will be easier. now its more knowing your cuts and reading the tree on how it will react with the cut. that comes with experience. keep it up. stay safe. speed is not the job

[@mvblitzyo]

Really digging the raw videos , 👍🏼thanks bud ..

[@patkarlsson]

Nice work for a first time! Allways two hands on the saw when cutting!

[@mcauleyman]

Fuck that

[@MichaelRodriguez-wu8ky]

Good to see you from when you first started. I am an apprentice now for Wright tree and love the climbing aspect of the work and getting better myself. I just can’t seem to figure out the bucket work to well with the awkward pole saw and being that I’m very short as it is. I just need to take my time and eventually I will get the hang of it.

[@midniterider6656]

I love this stuff,been doing it for 40yrs,cant climb now tho

[@AndrewBiemann]

This video is a bit older now, so I suspect you've learned a few things since. Personally I think it's really important to have a way to descend at all times. Instead of using a 2 in 1 lanyard, use a climbing system and a lanyard if you're double-lanyarding your way up the tree. That way if you hit a nest of angry bees you can escape without trying to tie your friction hitches.

[@Human1337]

Absolutely. Haven't been using that 2-in-1 in awhile, These days I've been using two separate lanyards, a bit long than most use, I often clip to CAP and use them as a short climb line.

[@mslisa5916]

Freaking awesome 👍 work 🙌. You make it look so easy

[@TheAcidhigh]

I prefer a full wrap if you need to be locked that tight ( when you take a big skinny top or are gonna go for a ride). Try to stay upright in your stance and spread your spurs to the outer trunk to stabilize It’s also good to atleast loop your climbing line around the trunk below your lanyard when taking a tree top or blocking down the peg. Just incase your saw gets pulled into your lanyard. Also try tying your climbing system before even leaving the ground. It’s what I use instead of the other end of my lanyard when passing a tree limb. You can also girth hitch you climbing line on the back of the trunk so you can lean the other way for a well positioned cut ( Large diameter body wood). This tree doesn’t require those techniques but they will come in handy. Good to see the passion. Nice first go brother

[@darkwar12345]

Awesome man. I just started as a grounds man and I really like it. I wanna move up to a climber when I learn everything I can

[@issacgonzalez1451]

What do you do as a groundsman

[@darkwar12345]

@@issacgonzalez1451 hey bud. When I was doing it I ran the chipper, cleaned chain saws, fueled them, changed Chains, dragged brush, use the stump grinder, dug out holes with shovels and put dirt and sod in. Lots of hard work. Make sure you get paid good doing it

[@lachlanturner9631]

good work, always good doing something you love!!

[@mike8hunter]

Nice job, to help with your rolling issue wrap your lanyard around the stem twice it should help. Great work

[@Human1337]

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot next opportunity I I get.

[@EagleTreeCare]

2 hands on that saw! What are you doing!!!!!

[@finksies23]

Nice job bud. KZbin is a great place to learn. I like the bungy lanyard. I always have guys under me. Biggest fear is that I drop a saw on someone. liked your timing advanced video too. I need to do that to my 201, I did a muff mod & took the limitiers off the carb.

[@Human1337]

I need to start using mine, need to get in the habit. Yeah, those mods really open up the 201, I was kinda shocked at the lack of power in my new mtronic model after using the companies one that I modded for a couple months. Did the mods to the new one though, and it runs just like the other now.

[@abelmorales877]

wow a cant wait I'm ready for my first time

[@Quadflash]

Your in-tree work looked good. Safe=good. You'll get better at managing your tether and climb lines with practice. You'll need to learn to rig the tree chunks so they don't damage the landscape or your life support gear. That's important.

[@adamboswell8474]

man my hat is of to you I know you had to do sum climbing but for your first time removing you did great and that flipping to the side does go away I always put 1 foot up and plant it good and it helps and when moving tight life line helps

[@Human1337]

Thanks for the tip, much more comfortable up on leaning branches these days. Though not as good as I'd like to be, need to start working on balance.

[@wayneessar7489]

Fuchee capesta! What a great video of your first!

[@nickc2708]

one more thing. always lock ypur clutch when done with a cut especially when you start moving around in the tree while keeping saw running

[@karelvanleer429]

OK so everybody has to start somewhere try a snap cut . Cut 2\3rd one direction either up or down 3 to 5" above or below strait across and then the same on the other side across opposite direction a little more than half way. Snap the piece off and throw it to the ground. Practice can do pretty large limbs

[@ianmartin7283]

always tune your high rpms while the saw is in the cut. if not you could end up thinking its set right but its too lean and then you burn the top end

[@Human1337]

I run everything a tad rich, recently went through all our carbs, just needed a little leaning out is all.

[@nickc2708]

make sure you keep ypur saw revved out throughout every cut. backing off throttle towards end of cut can cause your chain to catch and get pulled out of ypur hand

[@bvbjb]

LOL!!!!! Great job brother! Thanks for sharing! :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnaiken2234]

Good work!

[@dustinallen8609]

Dude that looks so so so so so so so so so so so so so so fun I wanna do that

I love it, every day is something different, a puzzle to be solved, and an adrenaline rush at the same time. Can't believe it took me into my thirties to find something I'm passionate about in life, and I love every minute of it. Awesome career if your not set on something else already, very hard work, but very rewarding as well.

[@iceee187]

[@francmeister420]

don't cut with 1 hand . bad habit

[@Human1337]

Yeah, I've been told that numerous times since posting this. Been working on maintaining two hands on the saw at all times.

That why they make top handle saw for one hand

[@jamesvillegas877]

Are you sure that's your first time? like a pro. Great work.

[@Human1337]

Far from a pro, many mistakes, but none horribly large, and lessons learned from all of them. I've a great teacher in the other gentleman in the video, Joe, and I'm a total nerd for climbing, always watching the greats, reg coates, august hunicke, etc... Really helps learning something when you're passionate about it.

[@jaysaunders9068]

Same Here I love it too

[@ncstatefootball]

Where do you go to get education and training on arbor work? I’ve felled probably 10 trees and enjoy the process and labor to follow. After watching your video and others, I would love to learn the expertise of climbing, safety, and taking down a tree piecemeal. I bet it feels super rewarding.

[@nate2838]

One place to start is as a groundsman for a company. There is a difference between running a saw on your own property and running it as part of a crew, keeping track of ALL that is going on around you. After working as a groundsman for a while, learning how to be part of a crew and how it functions, then look into climbing. I'm not sure about how to go straight into climbing, however i highly recommend learning the ground first. You have a much better appreciation for the people helping you out if you've done it before. And yes, when you'r team gets along well and respects each other, it feels great. the main thing is keeping focused on what is in front of you and not getting caught up in the "time is money". Thats where stress takes over, and safety and job satisfaction get compromised, proportional to the amount of stress and impatience present on the job.

[@Human1337]

what nate said

[@roflmap]

Fuck yeah man, love that shit! Pretty good for a first time!

[@Human1337]

ahhh.....I absolutely love it, and boss keeps giving me bigger and more challenging things to work on, testing me out. I'll be posting a video soon of my day yesterday, was pretty intense.

[@robertbettis6552]

Human man its great to see this video and the passion you have for climbing. it reminds me of when i started climbing, nothing like it.

[@robertbettis6552]

you know this im sure but make sure you put an undercut when taking larger limbs down so they wont pull you against the tree when they start to fall. get well soon man

[@eduardo42897]

4:25. Yes you are.

[@BR-bl4gm]

You should definitely have two hands on that saw if it's your first tree I'm sure you realize that by now good job though

Well done. Good work for your first removal. Little bit of work on your cuts and you will be a pro in no time

[@Human1337]

Yeah, watching all the other guys on youtube making super quick, perfect cuts, I was all cocky and thinking "pfft, I've got this". Then you get up there, and it's a whole lot more difficult than you think. The very next day I did another removal which needed a bigger saw to block out some trunk about 20 feet up, took me a good 5 minutes to make a decent notch, lol.

[@northernninjarunner5506]

[@adamclark9253]

Doing a good job, I don't think you should just be dropping brush on bushes below you,, but maybe you guys are taking them out also, but if my climbers did that they would only get one warning before I fired them. Looks like you got skills, now start giving a shit about stuff below you and you will be a rockstar,,, anyone and I mean anyone can take a tree down while destroying stuff,, Learn to respect stuff below you or your a chump

[@TheKde25]

ok, but you need to learn some better cutting techniques. At one point you had just your strop round and just went straight through with the chainsaw, that's a good way to get ripped out of the tree!! Keep learning and climbing you can only get better!!

[@abidahmed7710]

Oxygen is our life

[@thanxx]

get a strop for your saw

[@Human1337]

Yeah, another guy told me that about two weeks ago, and last weekend my bar got caught in a kerf, dropped it about 30 feet. Got lucky, only some broken plastic, about $40 to fix. I've got my drayer lanyard on my saw now anytime I'm in the tree.

[@thanxx]

If its any consolation (for my minor criticism) if thats your first take down you handled it well. you seem to be a natural in the tree(a rare breed) just take it slowly,methodically and climb safe bro.

[@thanxx]

ps/ NEVER take your saw from your strop.not only will it save your saw but it could save your groundies life. ive seen saws dropped and bounce 20 feet in a 45 degree angle after the have hit a branch. lethal mate.
