Storm Damaged Maple Climb - Day 1

There was a huge section of this tree that had already torn off in a bad wind storm. We took the rest of it down over a couple of days, lots of cutting and lots of rigging...

My kind of video. No music no talk no bullshit just raw specialists work.

[@greenadventure5038]

Shoutout to the ground crew putting in work! Working two ropes in two yards with a fence between them, with a small gate to go through?! Magician in the tree too. Respect ✌️

[@mikeberryhill1819]

"But, But, what about my grass?" Loved it. But the previous cut landed flat as a Scottish pancake!

[@aviator1243]

In my opinion, this is the best video you have done so far.

[@dontitomartin5396]

Yes

[@robbob_the_climber]

I’ve watched this video probably six times since you put it out You are such a phenomenal climber guys you work with are awesome 👏 I’ve learned so much from you in the past couple years of me, finally getting in the saddle after eight years on the ground I started my own company last year now I work four days a week and have so much time with my daughter Climb high cut small stay safe thanks for all that you do for the arbor culture community

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Wow thanks brother, send me an email [e-mail] and I will get you some stickers... - Patrick

[@buynsell365]

Another great job !!! At 51:44 your saw sounded like anakin speed racer from star wars........... LMAO !!!

[@dogfacemarc7784]

I love watching you take it one step at a time and work your plan. Amazes me every time. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@heresmytake2782]

dang that tree was about to cause a major health risk to half the neighborhood ... Good thing they called the Pro's

[@tuanas458]

if it split it could kill!

[@ericharris893]

The crew has experience. This is a joy to watch. Nothing like my jobs. Where one person knows what everyone should do and no one else has a clue. And after the training, they find a new job cuz tree work ain’t for them. Or they go back on government assistances. Where do you find a team like that

[@neightjay]

Wow, good show fellas. That compensation wood was crazy, cool to see. Looking forward to Day 2. Stay safe out there.

[@douggibson9084]

Yes, Nasty tree

[@ryansimboli4761]

[@br-dj2ti]

[@ericchristison9680]

Wanted to send out a huge thanks for your videos! I have learned so much and has made things safer for me and my crew from watching you work. Stay safe

[@Anubisrunner08]

Nice to see a new video from you buddy!

[@lindaarbogast6499]

Is day 2 coming soon? Nice work! Glad to see your crew all wearing helmets! Stay safe!

[@TheCrusher2468]

I would say that ratchet strap idea is the best tree climbing / removal technique Ive seen on youtube.

[@firedtradesman]

Helluva job! Thank you.

[@robbob_the_climber]

👍👍👍👍👍nice job Patrick!

[@treeculture9249]

Hell of a job!! 😆😆👏👏You rule man👍

[@toddjacks8288]

Awesome video brother

[@batmantiss]

Emphatic thumbs up! Good work men!

[@GeorgeIvanPare]

Huh, no add-ons? I have never seen that mechanical friction device before. Double huh. That was some tree, wow. I do not envy you for that heat.

[@coast_valley]

Nice one Patrick. Liking the format.

[@PhilEvansOnline]

Great video, thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍

[@rickstafford5316]

Smooth. Nice job.

[@kingslew1866]

Thanks for the video...

[@jasonturney2800]

Nice job Patrick

[@shieldsandknives2216]

Nice work

[@turnstyles7485]

He dropped the first log so nice, he showed it to us thrice.

[@tuanas458]

When you let it run, do you have the groundsman put some tension in the rigging rope or none at all? The xrings seems super efficient.

[@br-dj2ti]

hey Patrick on your lanyard what size hitch cord do you use and what size rope thank you so much

[@fuckoffcunts1473]

been a climber for 38 years and was good seeing some of your rigs good job .

[@mrgardner6405]

Dam you experience makes it look way easy

[@Triplaglol]

Hey Patrick could you say which gas powered saws you were using and length of the bar? I know the battery one I've got one myself, I got a Stihl for bigger wood but was wondering which husky's u were using?

[@unddannkommtbierinsspiel]

Hi Patrick, great work and a nasty tree :D Question: Why didn’t you leave a part the first stem with the strap for rigging the most of the second stem? Would have been a good counterweight for the compensation of the split. Just a thought ;-) Greetz from Germany!

[@jordanruby7671]

Pat, what gave you the confidence of climbing that split tree? Was it the straps you put on? Or was it when you were able to make a few quick Rigs to lighten it up?

[@brother_jay]

Ahhh, what climber doesn’t love rigging in a storm damaged tree with the wind howling away. What mechanical friction device are you using here? Never seen it before.

[@Wizard_ofthewoods]

​@Josh Rappleyea I believe that is actually the bulldog bone (stainless steel look) and his hitch looks like a knut on the lanyard just by the way the wraps look

[@sabeeralisabeerali9795]

👌👌👌🌹🌹🌹

[@tuanha5264]

That can't be safe retrieving the rope with a hand saw lol

[@ericharris893]

Be aight

[@aftech7268]

Thats tree is crazy tall - taller than mable tree mine is only 75 ft that looks like a more than 100ft what saw is that ?

[@NatureHub01]

Where is day two video?

[@v3124]

52:40 flatness

[@thomasculler4080]

What chainsaw is that?

[@andrewbock1575]

I should re-word my original comment, the battery operated top handle is a husqvarna T540i XP. The smaller, internal combustion saw he used higher in the tree, is a husqvarna 550xp mark 2. And lastly, down toward the base, he used a husqvarna 572xp with a full wrap handle

[@Cholton327]

Another pro climb. Great job.

[@radovanflexvidacic9410]

why tie branches if they can fall without damaging anything?

[@radovanflexvidacic9410]

of course you can see... you cut the small branches and they fall without damaging them, and then you bind and cut off what remains... I do this work, I make sure it's like that... the small branches don't cause damage and I just cut them... : )

[@redinator9896]

💪🙂👍

[@jamesd8397]

How much was this job?

[@jamesd8397]

Yeah how much did you charge

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

@@jamesd8397 not nearly enough, as always....

[@lumberjack9833]

[@charlesdarwin180]

I'll bet that job cost the customer over $5000.
