"Tube Salad" had me rolling! I loved this series. I'll buy another 50 dollar sticker next time you do a saw review to support more of this content (and to maybe win a saw). When Antone says "I don't have any gunning sticks". I think he means "I don't need gunning sticks".

[@kelvingrebert7315]

awesome video as usual, Tube Salad. great to see how you 3 get along. thanks again to the JAG (Jacob, Antone, Gordy) team🌲🌲🌲

Love seeing great mentorship and guys handed the confidence to take on larger challenges.

[@annalorree]

You’re playing around in my backyard, I’m a Humboldt native. My grandpa and my dad both logged, as well as ranching, for years. I never logged, but was rated as a basic faller through my time in the fire service. My biggest stick was a pine about 39” at the cut, had a goose pen, and was on fire inside. I dumped that one on the Jones Fire east of Redding, CA in 1999. Thanks for documenting this, it’s a dying art.

[@loislewis9900]

Good job with the redwood. You are a smart man, exploring all the skill sets in the lumber industry. Stay safe and God bless you.

[@garyl148]

This series in the redwoods with Antone and Gordy is the best ever.

[@wooodrow99]

This was, by far, my favorite series on your channel. Just an amateur, but I enjoy seeing how the professionals get the job done and this is next level wood at that. Thanks for taking us all on the adventure Jacob.

[@Makoonga]

I watch a lot of these felling videos. These guys are the best I've ever seen. This is the first felling channel I have ever subscribed to.

[@davidswaboda4609]

One of the best videos I seen, educational. The ride home with the salad was hilarious, reminded me of when I was a young man. Thanks

Yes the rate these big trees grow is incredible. Obviously there's huge areas of forests too. Personally I agree with trees as a resource to be managed. Really pleased to see North America with huge forest areas still.

[@e020443]

Shades of Dirty Jobs -- new guy every time. That said, I've been watching your stuff for a year or so and this series is absolutely stellar. You've always been an accomplished climber and arborist -- now you're learning to be a genuine logger. Anton absolutely rules; we need more Anton.

[@GlasgowCeltic88]

Gordy, I have four words for you: "Teamwork makes the Dreamwork!" 😁 Tube Salad, keep doing what you're doing man. You look like you're enjoying yourself and putting out great content!

Yeah, more Anton falling redwoods. I spent 17 years living in his neighborhood and 7 years as a faller and have never learned as much from any other YT falling video as I did from your videos with Anton. That face cut in particular was very interesting.

Thanks to Antone for giving “Tube Salad” a chance on some big trees. I think they should go back for the 10 footers. And thanks again to Antone for sharing the gunning technique using a tape. That’s going to come in handy.

[@dougreid2351]

There is a Walter Mitty aspect to this series, where an arborist can become a lumberjack for a week. Or go into the high mountains for sawyer training. But if you weren't going out on these adventures most of us would never see any of the places, people and work you've shared with us. THANK YOU. And thank you Gordie, too. DOUGout

[@lewisgiles8855]

Yeah we may would never see such awsome-ness if it weren't filmed and posted. Trees would be long gone, and never to be seen again for the just another day on the job kinda guys. Very cool indeed

[@catbertz]

These trees are just nuts. I like to see more with Anton. His insights and experience in this niche part of the industry is interesting!

This was a great series, and your co-star Gordie was a real trooper. He's a great supporting actor. The traveling and working with different people reminds me of what our contract workers we used back in the day said. They would work anywhere from two week to six months and then off to another location, starting all over again. I would like to see more super-tree videos.

I live in Humboldt Co. CA and worked on a logging crew back in the 1960's cutting old growth Redwood for 5 years. I saw a lot of giant trees fall. One tree had bark that was 17" thick. You can't legally haul a 16' diameter tree down the highway, so they had to be split into quarters. Those were interesting times. I have a few photos from back then.

Jake, that exactly the issue. Most people are so ignorant to what a healthy forest looks like that any amount of cutting and thinning or putting fire on the ground for fire use and thinning is a big scary. And it’s exactly that mindset that creates these massive forest fires we see along with climate issues sure. But most of our nasty fire season is due to massive mismanagement from swinging too far the other direction after old growth logging was prohibited.

[@tomtownsend2868]

[@oregonlogger9775]

That tube salad has got to be the greatest innovation in logging technology in the last 40 years.

[@OldSaltyBear]

I have a tree farm in NW PA. Mostly black walnut, black cherry and shag bark hickory. A couple things people don't realize is that taking a large tree for lumber sequesters a ton of carbon... and the younger tree(s) replacing it absorbs carbon and release O2 at an exponentially higher rate than a mature tree. Also removing a large tree can enable ten more trees, plus a ton of undergrowth, to spring up in its foot print. That provides habitat for fuzzy critters, helps with global warming, reduces fire hazards and mitigates the danger of the tree, or even one of its limbs, coming down and harming persons or property. It can still be sad to see such a gorgeous and impressive tree fall. All I can say is I try and focus on the benefit... and I show respect for these trees by encouraging people to recycle lumber whenever possible. Side note... splattering chicken juice all over my rig is a quick way to get relegated to riding in the bed. Just sayin. haha

[@williaml.baptiste3597]

I liked cutting in the fog. No matter what, you never get to the top of the mountain, best hiking ever...some ground is so steep, you take three steps up and slide back two. Business as usual in the REDS. Take rope with you, and keep it in the truck. That form of a tree is what we had referred to as a "Meadow Red," In Santa Cruz years past, 40 years back, the first buck would be at 20 or you will lose scale real quick due to tapper. This Posting group brings back some of my finest memories, long gone.

One of the most informational/educational videos on tree felling I've ever watched. That was awesome.

[@mungtor]

That fog phenomenon is why you get redwoods in California and Japan. It's a temperate rain forest, and I'm not sure where else it may exist. When I was out in CA (bay area) it was still pretty awesome to experience the fog and rain that happens on the SF peninsula almost every morning.

[@maecarpenter6735]

That fog is called the Marine Layer which originates in the water body surrounding the land and persists for long periods of time resulting in optimal growth conditions for all organisms blanketed by it.

All the videos with Anton and Gordy have been awesome! I'm more on the falling side (Just a hobby) so it has been great learning some more tricks in this video series. I know you're an arborist (a damn good one too) and all of your videos have been really good so far. But these videos with Anton and Gordy have been by far my favorite so far! Anton seems like a huge wealth of knowledge. I'm in Michigan so its not quite the same here, but a lot of the techniques do work on our trees as well. A 6-7ft tree is massive, largest i really drop here is 36"-40". Great job, Keep it up!

Myyyyyyyyy Lord fellas!! I got news for all of you, every one of you needs to be wearing safety glasses!!! i’m walking around now with only one eye my right eye. I was sawing timber one day just like you guys here in this video, and a sliver came out and went right in my left die when I was 19 years old. They couldn’t do much back in those days they had to remove the lens. There was no such thing as a lens implant back in those days. So, it doesn’t dilate. Completely blind in my left eye. I’m 65 now. You don’t know how many days I wish I would have worn safety glasses. And I used to cut timber just like what we see here in this video. I’ve been written up in LOGGERS WORLD, 4 times. Please men, in the name of God, please wear them!! Hell I would buy your company 2 dozens. I’ll be retiring this year from the oil field. Regional safety manager for my company.

[@foxhollerhomestead]

A lot of people don’t recognize that trees are a renewable resource and by thinning the way that y’all are doing is actually creating more growth and a healthier forest! If we didn’t thin forest the trees would become so choked out by themselves that it would actually become detrimental. Even mother nature has her own thinning company it’s called lightning and forest fires…😊

[@j.sargent9172]

Yeah, shit starts rotting and having holes on the inside of it when it's super thick and getting no sun light on the forest floor

@@j.sargent9172 exactly right.

[@Hawgfrog]

These people that chain themselves to trees and preach conservation are idiots. True conservationists understand the importance of thinning and they understand that we have to use lumber to survive. I like when them people say use metal to frame instead of wood. Obviously they don't realize what it takes to make steel.
