The most EPIC tree removal

my first youtube video, cutting down of a 50 metre mountain Ash tree.
these trees had been damaged by another fallen tree and also had decay at the base. being so close to a house unfortunately they had to be removed.
this is the largest tree ive ever removed and it was great fun.

[@treeclimberharry582]

The tree was a eucalyptus regnans aka mountain ash. It had been damaged from another fallen tree and it also had decay at the base. It is sad that trees have to be removed but it was imperative that these were. They were not safe!

[@dougrek]

Great video and your respect for the tree is evident. Good job.

[@CoolestThing]

Mesmerizing! Nicely filmed and cut (no pun intended).

[@PVid1]

I would be so nervous with that chainsaw only a foot away from the rope attaching you to the tree--not to mention the possibility of the cut-piece kicking back. You have some serious skills and confidence!

[@markeinarson1037]

Gr8 video ,very nice work ,don't let those negative bastards get to you, there are lots of us who appreciate watching quality work

[@TreeBoi4Life]

That truly was an epic fell. Great job and it's a shame 60ish people managed to hit the dislike button instead of the thumbs up like everyone else who does this work and can appreciate the skill and guts it takes to safely remove these damaged hazardous trees. Great edit work too on all the footage.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

The things that hit The dislike button are nothing more than jealous pieces of pure shit.

[@louisvandeventer2497]

That's just perfect,fair play boys and watch out Ace!! you've got competition and that's a BIG complement to you both #respect.

[@treeclimberharry582]

Louis van deventer thank you! Ace doing incredible stuff all the time, but cheers for the compliments :)

[@madwheels08]

You sir are at the top of your craft. That was awesome.

[@MatthewBanchero]

I'm taking notes. The leash you used while blocking down the wood was pretty sweet.

[@mydyisgod]

I believe I held my breath every time a limb went off the tree!! Be safe up there.

[@noelclark693]

Just some perspective: E. regnans can grow to 100 m and is considered to be the tallest hardwood in the world. One tree of this species that CSIRO measured in Southern Tasmania was 5.4 m in diameter. So this is not a large example compared to old growth (>110 year old) trees.

[@treeclimberharry582]

Noel Clark yeah true this was tiny compared to some

[@treeclimberharry582]

The tallest tree in the world was a regnans, they cut it down to measure it, somewhere Around 130 metres 😑

[@1smokan]

My hats off to this guy, job well done.

[@juffowuppy]

Epic tree felling music.

Very professional tree work. Very calculated and not afraid to rig big. Awesome

Super awesome experience. Totally loved the climb, and glad there was no injury of the crew. #awesomevideo

Slaying some serious monsters there tree brother, good work..great video..keep climbing high & cutting small.

[@rapist30000]

My uncle does this in NJ, His former boss would teach him when he first started working with him/for him and he would climb up the trees, spikes on his books, harness, safety hat and saw. He's now his own boss, has his own company and is showing his son how to climb these trees. he know has bad knees and constant ankle pain.

[@nocomment6168]

Beautiful....I actually get a rush out of watching a huge tree like that, taken down professionally... I think if you went up about 4 more feet, the FAA, would have fined you for not having wings at that height..

[@treemerc101]

This is probably my favorite tree video on KZbin

[@arboristictom9795]

good job. I liked the vertical side/speed line while piecing the trunk down, hopefully that job paid for a raptor lol. that was quite the haul with just hand/foot ascender

[@mikerobinson8284]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@tetsi0815]

Awesome. Could you make a bit of an explanatory video, where you maybe explain the process a bit and the "rope work" you used to secure yourself and catch the falling tree parts?

[@treeclimberharry582]

tetsi0815 hey yeah so we use a Big slingshot to shoot a line into the tree, set up a climbing line and a lowering line usually at highest point of the tree.the lowering line runs through a pulley and down to the ground through a friction device then the other end ties off to the branch we cut and so on. :)

[@treeclimberharry582]

tetsi0815 I will make more vids in the future I have another taller tree to do soon so watch out for it :)

[@Spamless86]

This was mesmerizing.

[@amc6116]

[@laurelispittertwaited8998]

👏🏻BRAVO!👏🏻 Not bad for an arborist with a selfie stick! 😉Not bad at all ✌🏼 💪🏼🌲Timberrrrr🌲

[@ChristopherLQueen]

Q1: What are the side notches on either side of the hinges you made before cutting the "felling cut"? Are they to prevent tear-out or help guide the fall? Q2: How did you get the ropes back up to your position?

[@rbtree]

" Are they to prevent tear-out"? Yes

[@sdmaft]

What's the purpose of the shallow cut about 1-½ inches below the main cut?

[@treeclimberharry582]

Ralph C they're called wing cuts, they're used to stop the bark tearing down and grabbing your pole belt(the rope holding me to the tree)when the piece falls

[@patrickwinde9802]

I ever nervous at those heights

[@angussmith262]

Very impressive landing those large sections flat. And the use of a vertical speed line as a backup for runaway logs (3:10) was ingenious. How do you calculate landing timber flat is there a formula you use?

[@treeclimberharry582]

Thanks mate, if the piece is about one 5th of the height it should land fairly flat 👍

[@kelvinredward3013]

Fantastic and thank you for posting. Since I know nothing about this expertly done job, I am curious that didn't wear any special gloves to avoid any injury. I can imagine that without gloves it allows for better handling of the tools.

[@mlavergn]

The bark, foliage, and size look a lot more like Eucalyptus than Ash.

Eucalyptus Regnans aka Mountain Ash.

[@stormycarneal6213]

Great videos brother🤙 I'm just getting into climbing I've been a ground man for my brother for some time now and starting to climb now. Do you mind me asking what the cuts on both sides of the notch do ? I've never seen that before besides in KZbin videos what does that do ?

[@treeclimberharry582]

Stormy Carneal thanks mate the cuts on either side stop the bark from tearing and grabbing your pole belt. Climb safe brother!

[@ironmulesmc786]

does your balls clang when ya walk? takes some brass ones to climb and cut like that! great groundsmen too ! hats off to ya!

[@captainsandwijj4845]

Hey Fruitarian, Is it difficult for an Arborist from the US to find work down there? Is ISA Cert. a must?

[@cagamer4161]

What size of chainsaw's are you working with to cut down that tree ? Keep up the good work 👍🏼✌🏼️

[@DaBonQ]

Why did you push the log with your hand? Isn't it dangerous?

[@rbtree]

"Isn't it dangerous?" No. This climber knows his stuff....

[@nedstudios6490]

why use ascender if you’re gonna just take it down? No spike’s?

[@treeclimberharry582]

Easier to use ascenders than spur up this tree. I have an ascender attached to my spurs

[@arborist460]

That was money on that last stem..lobbed tell but up n over

[@caleidoo]

If he did it with a nail clipper, now that would be epic. Even without the song "This video needs to be epic" by" Epic" (EPIC label).

[@joesarrieto8434]

Do you have any recommendations for hand ascenders for srt? Single or double? I’m going to be doing more srt work but I’m pretty lean and my grip strength isn’t great really burns my arms after a long ascent. Awesome videos mate always looking in awe at you

[@treeclimberharry582]

Thanks mate, I love the petzl single hand ascender

[@rogerbarnett8412]

You don't need either, if you rope walk and use both a foot and knee ascender.....
