My First Time Working on The East Coast! Tree Work in Pennsylvania

[@AkiSan0]

i love it when the "big boss" is just a cool, normal dude doing grunt work as well to know the job inside out! incredible rare sight in my field ("big pharma").

[@lewisgiles8855]

They are the best

[@robsimons1163]

You wake up each morning and go work for big pharma? Wtf bro

[@michaeladams347]

I am a tree surgeon as well. This is a rare sight, ESPECIALLY with a tree company this size. 9 out of 10 times the bigger the company the more non existent the owners become. At companies not even a quarter of this size I wouldn’t see the owners for 6-9 months at a time. I have tremendous respect for this company after seeing this.

Welcome to PA Jacob we have 5 out of the 10 types of hickory trees in PA hickory trees: shagbark hickory, shellbark hickory, mockernut hickory, pignut hickory and butternut hickory Enjoy your stay n yes it's crazy hot for PA not normal weather for us

[@brettmahl5396]

It's about time. East coast is way different. Sprawled out more and growing in crazy ways

[@j.sargent9172]

Yeah, really bugs me that west coast dudes talk shit. Sure they typically run bigger bars, we only have to om occasion run anything bigger than 36 but they don't understand the work that goes into the trees we have here. Lot harder wood and a lot more brush and branches

You need a cool-collar… a wet cool neck wrap… knock’s your body temperature down like 20 degrees feeling really great in hot summer… I’ve been rocking the collar and the bucket hat this year and it’s absolutely amazing how much they can cool you off! They pull the saw down out of it’s top rpm’s power range! .030 is about perfect!

So cool chucking that water bottle up and down!

[@iraagans3144]

One thing about Pennsylvania vehicles, if you don't keep them clean they will literally rust out while you watch! I grew up in Pennsylvania and have rented apartments old then some states. The people are good and have more integrity than most, but work is a religion in Pennsylvania, I've had to kick it down to low gear ever since I moved away from there. Lol

[@crabmansteve6844]

Our trees get wild out here. Waaaay wider. Hell I've seen a 65ft live oak that was about 100ft in diameter (the canopy, not a 100ft trunk). Jake, you should cut a cookie from a tree whenever you travel to a different place and burn the date and location into it for posterity.

[@davidhamilton7628]

Imagine carrying that redwood cookie out 😁👍

[@timkelley6616]

Your becoming the Mike Rowe of tree cutting!😂

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

Exactly what I am shooting for 👏

[@lindaarbogast6499]

Jake you are amazing and willing to bring different kinds of professionals together for the love of felling trees to go beyond the feuds is admirable. You bring to this channel your passion to teach and show different techniques to cutting trees. Yes living on the east coast we get more humidity than the west coast. Grin and bare it, it will add a layer of sweat equity to the work you do. Be safe and stay hydrated!

[@joshpomponio2993]

I live in pa got square grind on chain an full wrap handles on all big saws it’s great a sharp chain is a sharp chain no matter if it’s hard wood or soft an I wrap handle can still cut close to ground ya it’s in way sometimes but it’s way more handy then it hurts

😂 thank you

[@danpowell1776]

Nice job Jake. It isn't easy always being the new guy every where you go but you're slaying it. You've got a lot of years ahead and you're on the fast track to being one of the most well-rounded climbers out there. Humility and willingness are a great combination.

[@Morpheen999]

Not surprised they have great employee retention.. Working with all the best equipment all the time, definitely helps a lot!

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

When you have a good boss that treats his guys with respect and understanding... It's easy to keep employees. When they don't... You have a high turnover! The problem being that the employees think, I can do this better... And then they start their own company.

[@Morpheen999]

@@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va True and its easier to think that when your working with old beat up stuff Because thats the equipment you can afford when your starting out... But it takes years and years to build up enough equity to run that much brand new equipment and never let it get more then 2-3 years old

[@asutton1364]

I love how you respect the company, weather, people you work with.

Dude this was so awesome to see! Shriners looks like a super awesome outfit. I love that boss man has his trucks and equipment so clean you couldn't get over it😆 Sign of a great man that puts such care into maintaining the machines that provide s livelihood for himself and the men working for him.

[@artie2221]

Hell yeah man!! Glad you were able to come out and join us for the week! Never got to say hello to you, but appreciate the love and respect you have for tree work as a whole and for the company! Been working here for about 2 years and have loved every minute of it!

[@darthgbc363]

Cool, breaking down barriers. You're not kidding about the humuginess there. I'm from the northern Midwest. We get hot & the cold. I was in DC in early August. Holy humid. They're all use to it & keep the A/C up at 85°. I keep my office at 65° all year & try to keep the shop at 50°.

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

😂 I keep my ac "low" to 76° in the summer and the heat is "up" to 67° in the winter. People always complaining about the temperature I keep my house at... I'm like if you chip in $50-100, I'll adjust the thermostat.

[@heathsmith9956]

Lol Jake can't take the east coast heat.. 🤣 😂

[@davidk7324]

I lived my whole life in S. Idaho/N.Utah and then lived in N. Virginia for 5 years. Took nearly 3 years to get "somewhat" acclimatized to the oppressive summer humidity. Interestingly, it not only makes summer miserable, but also winter. Deep, penetrating cold with VA winter humidity. Glad to be back West again.

[@ianfriel8160]

Awesome video. I'm glad you had the opportunity to visit a solid company on the east coast. I work out of Brewer Landscaping and Tree Services just 10 miles west of Valley Forge Park. Hickory and Ash are definitely two of the hardest woods in the area and Ash tree removals comprises at least half of our tree jobs, unfortunately due to the EAB.

[@bhribik21ify]

Welcome to Pennsylvania brother. Born raised and live here...cool to see you in my state!!!

[@DaveyBlue32]

Hit a local grocery store like the Acme and grab a box of Pedolite Sport mixed berry flavor tubes… thy are aluminum tubes that you tear open and pour into your water bottle… baby section of store… it’s absolutely insanely good hydration support…they save your day in the heat here… I do three a day when it’s 95 degrees like it’s going to be this week! Stay hydrated and be careful having any after work brews as it’s super ruff on you the next afternoon with this high heat and humidity! 😂😂👍

[@DaveyBlue32]

That’s a very cool Philosophy man… all the tree cutting guy’s really have more in common than not all should respect each other and get along! Looking for the common ground is what we lost across the entire country… we are all way too polarized and political!

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

Couldn’t agree more

[@Chris-qf9qm]

Thanks for bringing us along great production quality. I'm loving the vibe of the channel. If you think your hot up there try the heat further south in Louisiana. The oaks and Spanish moss are definitely something you would enjoy.

[@mkay1957]

Or try the Sierra foothills in CA when it's 110 - 115 degrees. It fairly dry heat, though. Hottest I've ever been in was 126 degrees in Copperopolis CA in the late 1980s. I wasn't working though - thank God!

[@drummer0864]

Glad to see you out here Jacob. Your prospective on these types of trees will give us east coaster's, a reality check as to how they stack up against the difficulties compared to your soft-wood trees. I agree with the references you've made to your comment section, as I have often said to myself, "I'd like to see 'um do that out here". Only in the 80 to 100' range with sprawling canopy, 1/4" of bark, and very tuff hard wood. I think you'll find yourself using your fill a lot more often or having a couple of extra chains ready to go, which is what I do. Keep up the great work you're doing. We're all hanging in there with you. Chip from Delaware.

[@55VickyV]

The reason it’s not as humid here on the west coast is the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean. As weather mainly travels from west to east we get an almost constant breeze from the ocean. I live in Victoria, just north of you. 🇨🇦

[@bye92]

Welcome to Pennsylvania! I live north of king of Prussia, in the Poconos. And the humidity is even worse because of the mountains. It's horrific in the summer but I don't know anything different!

[@mattfoley6082]

I've lived in this area my whole life (I'm 61) and I never get used to the hot humid summer days. And it's only gotten worse with global warming. The older I get the more I hate it! I don't know how people lived without air conditioning. Enjoy that west coast weather!

Freeze a gallon jug for 2 full days and have ice water all day long. So long as you keep it in the shade. Works amazing

Right in my back yard! Love to see it!

[@j.sargent9172]

Also like some of the others have said, if you plan to be in humid areas buy a frog toggs cool towel, even Luke warm water will keep the towel cold, put it om your neck and it cools your blood off which in turn keeps your body temp down. Helps a lot bro

[@justinsnyder6256]

I've seen that bucking technique done on a horizontal limb to allow it to land flat. You load up the kerf with sawdust behind your cut. I've been wanting to see the limb reaper in some of this eascoast hardwoods. It's right at home lol

[@maddog496ify]

While watching you video where you were felling a large tree solo. You were using a block and tackle so to speak , to pull the tree in the direction needed. Each time it moved you had to retention your ropes. If you were to incorporate a section of large bungee cord, say 50’ or so and stretch it between two loops in your main line, it would provide constant tension and pick up what would have been slack. There by eliminating the need to stop cutting to retention the pull line. What ever the length of bungee, set the loops double that distance. That would provide a good pull for a good distance. Plus it never complains or needs a break. And works cheap. 😎

22:25 You can think more clearly because you're immediate personal space is encroaching on you. Plus any sane person would be worried that you might cut the wrong thing when there is too much crowding your working space. Makes perfect sense to me.

Now you know why those guys are in great shape. I used to do roofing and construction in Western PA. That area used to be one big swamp, so the humidity can be nasty. It was perfectly normal to drop ten pounds of body weight in a 10 hour day.
