Great working with you Jacob! I'm already planning our next adventure!

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

Thanks for having me out Tim that was a fun day!(minus the cottonwood sewage water 😂)

[@VeteranTreeService]

​​@@GuiltyofTreesonthat was so funny! Especially when Eric splashed you and you were like "BRO!!"😂

[@EricTheBritishViking]

I really did enjoy that day of work! I look forward to the next job we have with you. Hopefully it’s not raining 🌧️ 😅

[@thechickensaladsandwichman9171]

Ve worked commercial carpentry my whole adault life and every morning starts with a safety meeting that ends with " PAY ATTENTION AND WE ALL GO HOME"!

[@E.Meyers]

I look forward to the next collab video! Y’all worked great together, and it made a great video for fans of this channel. Thank you! 🌳

Jake makes all his calls at the top of trees. Much better reception. "Can you hear me now?"

[@happycamper6352]

lol, that does make sense though; wish I woulda' thought of that.

[@VeteranTreeService]

I forgot to mention Buckin Billy Ray. He made a lot of videos about being relaxed in the tree. Don't rush. Take baby steps spuring up. Breath. That and how to hand file a chain!

[@SouthMainAuto]

You know Jacob i don't often comment on your videos although i watch most of them. There's not many weeks that go by when i see a tree company out on a job or a take a walk in the woods or I'm just splitting up some fire wood that i don't think of Jed. I don't know him any more than i know you but still from time to time i struggle with his death. I know he was a great friend to you and i can't imagine there is a day that goes by you don't think of him. Any how just want to say I'm probably not the only one out here that prays for you, your safety and for Jed's family. Take care and keep up the great work -Eric O.

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

Thank you Eric, I really appreciate it.

[@jaredkleckner1755]

A fellow KZbin tree climber/cutter! I have also learned all my climbing, cutting, rigging skills all from KZbin! Guilty of Treeson, Austin Hunicke, Educated Tree Climber, and Buckin Bill Ray Smith have all been my Saw Fathers! I'm 25 and have been climbing for a year, and felling trees for 2 now! I don't have my own company, but hope too someday. My boss sometimes has me use a lift, but none the less have learned all my rigging, knots, climbing and cutting techniques, safety etc.. any aspect of tree work i have learned from you guys! and now I have another to follow, VeteranTreeService! Awesome job guys.

[@VeteranTreeService]

Awesome! Thanks man!

[@happycamper6352]

Lifts are never as glamorous but I feel far more comfortable in them if I can get them to the tree. Most of the jobs around here are deciduous trees that aren't quite as high as firs, so lifts do a pretty good job.

[@jaredkleckner1755]

@@happycamper6352 I agree. I've ran into some jobs where we have the lift, and i wish I had my ropes and spurs instead instead and I've had some jobs where I'm on the ropes and spurs and wish we had a lift instead! lol. But yeah around me we get a lot of sliver maple, oaks, cherry, walnut. Usually not my favorites to climb.

[@ISOSAILING]

well at least i'm not the only one lol although i don't fell any trees realy i just get fire wood off my mates farm but i know i'm working a lot safer after watching all there videos as well, got a few dead trees to take down though but i can get a bucket to do it from wich to me is the safest way to do it as i use them a fare bit in my day job anyway and have done for years. and just chunk them down from the top.

[@joelkooienga87]

The chemistry all of you had was great and all of you were professional and fun at the same time.

[@litewatefitr]

Man, this one hit close to home. What a cool band of tree misfits coming together, getting it done. Nice work everybody!

[@mcauleyman]

Definitely dangerous working with a crew for the first time. Always a good idea to go over the job and how things are gonna go and make sure everyones on the same page

[@watcherbd45]

There is something so satisfying watching you cut trees man great job !!!!

[@NeroKosonen]

So awesome to see a woman on the job! I wish there would be more on KZbin

[@SirensC3]

Bro, that is how I learned. Watched a ton of videos. Joined the ISA. Took all the on line courses. Then started climbing and taking down trees for people I knew. Learned to zip line. Learned what gear I needed and got after it. Bought the best of everything available at the time. Can honestly say I never missed my target on a tree drop. They always fell exactly where I wanted them to fall. Not counting delimbing of course.

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

Next thing you know... Jacob: this time on Guilty of Treeson... I'm going to be dangling from this helicopter to top these furs on this side of a mountain! 🤣

[@shanebrewster2384]

Best job ever!! No rigging, full ground crew. Awesome.

[@landrelarose745]

Jake, there's another KZbinr who lives in British Columbia, which is on the west coast of Canada. His name is Billy Ray Smith. I hear a term from him about bucking a tree. I had a feeling I knew what it meant, except not exactly. A moment ago, I asked Google that question. The answer was to cut the sections of the tree into unable length so that they'll be able to go inside of a wood stove. After reading that, I know I'll never forget it. When I was in my teens, I used my father's chain saw. Yes, I continue to have all my fingers. I had so much fun doing that. My father had three of them. One was yellow, the second was green, and I don't remember the third of them, except it was an electronic model he kept in the basement of the house he sold before he moved up north to be with my brother Lauren and his family. He died in 2019. He was going to have his 91st birthday, except he didn't live to be a part of that day.

[@Aliasghar-uo3lw]

Can it posable i am the part of you're team

[@E.Meyers]

Buckin’ Billy Ray! He’s great, too. He and August are fun to watch and learn. They’re hardcore older tree men.

He always pans really fast at the beginning of videos. It takes some getting used to, but I haven't complained yet because the content is pretty great otherwise.

[@jaroslavcharvat5171]

When I saw you chunking the top of the tree down and the saw was getting stuck, I immediately thought that the battery was flat, because this is what my saw does when the battery is empty.

This has to be the coolest stuff ever! I dont know why cutting down trees is so interesting, but it is. I have always assumed its just cut and go, but there is SO much to think about. Wish I was tough enough cause I think it would be cool to do this for a living! Thanks for sharing! Subbed!

What a day! He skinned up that dead snag. Great work.

[@VeteranTreeService]

Appreciate it. I was pulling off all that bark for two reasons. #1 to look for major cracks under it and #2 when I would spur into it, it would fall off and I would lose my footing.

[@kylerousseau4572]

Hey Jake it would be cool to hear you go over that briefing with the crew before you climb! I’ve always wondered if you tell them before to do or don’t do certain stuff because like you said people do things different

[@VeteranTreeService]

Well... Long story short it went like this.... Safety is secondary. Let's make an awesome KZbin video!!! We're just gonna send it!!!! 😉

[@wow23birds]

31:36 awesome!

[@judithfairchild8620]

That's the wildest one you've done yet. Cutting the tree in the water using the canoe.

[@888HUSKERS]

Great content and hilarious water tree work. I can relate I’ve had to put on waders and get into a canal to cut trees and branches for a mini excavator to pull out of the canal. I highly recommend narrow kerf hot chain and short bars. You can always double cut and keeping your balance over water either on a boat or on a wet log or muddy canal bottom is more important because of the risk of dumping a saw and ruining it.

[@PimSchouten]

If someone is giving you a headache about safety, act accordingly. Dont ever ever skip a safety part if it makes you feel better and makes the jobsite safer. Bless you Jacob.

[@andrehak]

Love the green line on the Vet's shirt. High five, Tim!

[@E.Meyers]

[@markroper9269]

It is the same with construction. Make sure everyone is on the same page with a plan ahead of time. Crane work, backhoes, forklifts....it is all dangerous! If production is more important than safety, walk away. Why is there so much confusion on where to land the branches?!! Back the chipper up and land them in the chipper!! Sheesh! 😜 Did Randy teach you nothing?! Love the video!

You can get an extra (or a few) SENA headsets for people you work with to use. Doesn't have to be a helmet - in fact, I think the headset is better in most cases because it implies a lack of helmet. People wearing it shouldn't be getting hit, they aren't employees or actual "ground workers". Anyways, treestuff has them pre-assembled.
