(RAW) Attacked by ANTS in a 100' dying oak

The raw unedited video of a customer we have worked for numerous times, and this time we removed an oak that was beginning to die. Unbeknownst to everyone there was a colony of ants living in the trunk which I would find later on in the day.

[@br-dj2ti]

Very nice job, did you have time to check out that cam gyro double lanyard?

[@user-ph9nv1ks7z]

We've come a long way since prussics, and taut line hitches. Really like your double ended scare strap system.

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

Just wanna see your opinion on it The raw unedited video of a customer we have worked for numerous times, and this time we removed an oak that was beginning to die

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

I saw it, I would get it and try it, if it wasn't 500 bucks. But at the moment, it'll probably just remain on the wish list.

[@ChicoTheArborist]

Awesome job man keep up the good work and stay safe out there

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

Thanks 👍

[@ChicoTheArborist]

@@ReallyTallTreeGuy You're welcome man!

[@suehimmler7435]

OMG. Scary being up sooo high and yet manage to work the saw. Held my breath the whole time you were up there. Need skill and nerves of steel and a good ground team. Thank you for the Birdseye view. Can you even get insurance? And how many trees this size or bigger do you do in a month? 😊 from Michigan

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

Yes, there's specific arborist insurance. Typically in a month. It could be anywhere from 15 to 20 of these, however, during the slow season typically December through February, it slows down significantly might only be 5 to 10.

[@SamSnyderSr]

what model saw are you using up high that starts first pull?

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

It started first pull because it was already warmed up, but it's an ms201t

[@davegeorge7094]

place and season? Was this last year on VA?

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

It was summer/autumn of 2023

[@br-dj2ti]

Just wanna see your opinion on it

[@user-rf2bh4on3l]

Hello, I like your videos. I'm wondering how you attach the chainsaw to your belt. if you can show me. P.S. I learned from your videos that the lever next to the handle is a brake, but I thought it was for chain lubrication.

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

It's on a carry tool, with a carabiner clipped under it at the end of my laynyard

[@Tonsoftrees_]

Is your blue rigging line Samson true blue?

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

Yes it is.

[@jimmywamble8486]

Boy can i say you are some kinda BRAVE working up there thats why u Are a professional great job. Your climbing rope is getting frayed better get a new one to be safe. 5 stars.

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

Thanks, yea it has since been replaced. This job was back over the summer

[@malicouscumware4642]

question, why don't you rig down the logs instead of destroying the lawn?

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

It's the company's policy to prioritize speed over protecting the lawn. It is very rare that we actually rig wood down simply because they don't like taking that extra time.

[@malicouscumware4642]

@@ReallyTallTreeGuy ah okay

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

@malicouscumware4642 it's unfortunate, I'm definitely not a fan of blatantly destroying a customer's yard.

[@joanmisenheimer5894]

This must take several days to do.

[@SidearmSinner]

[@johntillotson4254]

I'd be scared witless to be uo there. When I was in basic training they noticed I was a good climer and asked me if I wanted to go airborne. I said no way

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

It's always a fun time

[@randybecker8146]

Amazing ability!

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

Thanks

[@MrMuncieman]

Did you notice the ant hole on the way up the tree?

[@ReallyTallTreeGuy]

I noticed it, but didn't think that it was full of ants at the time

[@bernicezappala7958]

Don’t say OH NO!! I want to watch but……I can’t. Those limbs are getting thinner and thinner.
