This TREE Was An EXTREMELY Dangerous Situation!

[@W.O.P.R]

Jed definitely grew on me, and to understand his demise just a little more is sobering. Still watch videos of him on this channel…it’s a brotherhood

[@FelixSchneidereit]

not familiar with northern american lumberjacks/treeclimbers... so: who is jed? and what happened?

[@alexmills1329]

@@FelixSchneidereitJed was a great faller and an even better person. He died about a year ago when a hanging branch came down from a tree he was cutting and got him.

[@StanGoto]

Holy cow, Jake! Glad you and your crew did the job safely with no injuries. You guys are real pros!

[@mm9773]

You can tell he’s a real pro when he says it’s “extremely dangerous” but doing it safely with a bucket truck is “just not worth it”.

[@amfwelsh]

So great to see you doing well. It’s the banter between the people you work with that really makes this channel, such as being with Randy. Great job sorting out that big mess.

[@ingelri2]

Seems like a good job for heavy equipment like an excavator.

[@apveening]

In this case I would seriously consider hiring an explosives expert, explosive cutting works on wood too and can be done from a safe distance.

[@WildAcresFarms]

@@apveening I do messes like this regularly. Excavator works great. Dig the stumps of the hung trees out, and drag the stump backward or push it sidesays until it falls out of the standing tree. Then it’s just a bunch of bucking. It’s a fantastic tool for these jobs - you’re in a metal cage and never underneath the danger zone. Explosive sound much more fun, however.

[@apveening]

@@WildAcresFarms Explosives will also work in places excavators can't (or aren't allowed to) reach.

[@Smokey66s]

Or dynamite 🧨🧨🧨

[@apveening]

@@Smokey66s Dynamite is an explosive and not a very good one for wood.

The maple with the cedars and Alder in it looks like a standing pile of logs! Glad they got a pro on it

[@peterrandall4348]

100% agree about removing all the smaller pieces first. It’s easy to think “what difference is that little bit going to make?”, but sometimes snagging on something quite small can send your top down in a way you weren’t expecting. Plus it’s easier to move ropes and see what’s there and move around. It sounds like a small detail but it can make a big difference. Well done Jake and team, good day.

[@kelvingrebert7315]

another safety first job from Jake & his crew of the day - Kevin, Randy & Sondre. that really was a dangerous combo of trees. the loss of Jed is still fresh - greatly missed by all that knew him

[@DrTubeman]

Great work taking down some extremely tricky trees Jake, Kevin, and Randy, nice filming Sandre, liking the swish spurs tatt Randy. Cheers for the reel Jake.

[@jamesbarden2900]

Wow! Love the way you all watch out for each other. A great team!

Jacob's tribute to Jed - "I Love You Jed" kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGWxf4GQn7KWjJI For those like me who didn't know. From all accounts, he seemed like a person you'd hope to have in your life. Rest in peace Jed.

[@principals16842]

Jake, you took out the Gimli tree! From "The Two Towers" where Gimli was supporting a dead Warg, an Uruk-Hai, and another Warg that had fallen on him. Well done!

[@daveoseas]

Lots to enjoy. Im old, body a tad wrecked, but ive done enough of that kind of task to be right there. Thanks heaps for taking time to film, edit etc.

[@Version135]

Came home after having to call it quits without getting all the work i wanted for my nephew. Just wasn't comfortable with how sketch the tree was (tie in was lower than i needed to be in a different limb) and the high voltage lines near by. Now i get to enjoy a pro doing a hard job. Today humbled me. Definitely appreciate your skill more now .

[@CPR88]

Really appreciate all the different camera views, especially the ground up. Puts into perspective just how tall those trees really are!

Those cottonwoods cut like butter. Nice job

[@melkingrealestate]

Great video, wish you and Randy worked together on every job.

[@loganspriggs9828]

The eagle and Randy in the tree reminded me of Almost Heroes! Chris Farley & Matthew Perry

[@tymesho]

ALWAYS so cool to do takedowns with another cat on a tandem climb. The banter's usually easy, and it gets even better knowing you trust him with your life. (Talk about having something in common with someone else while working a good challenge, and EVERYTHING goes right on a special gig.)

[@Zogg1281]

30:42 I'm just up to this bit, and Jacob is talking about cutting the limbs off on your way up "everything's smoother, everything's safer" and I feel like there's a Manscape commercial segay coming 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@BigBlackTruckDave]

Guilty of Randy 🤣 RIP JED Good to hear more about his untimely passing.

[@el5495]

How did he die

[@BigBlackTruckDave]

@@el5495 From what I heard Jake say and what I read about Jed, he was doing a dangerous storm cleanup job and a tree leaning into another. He has falling it and just started his back cut when a large piece of branch that no one saw shot strait down from the vibrations and killed him instantly. Very sad situation and scary AF because he was very smart. In this vid Jake was showing how easily something that looks secure can just launch down like a missle.

[@el5495]

@BigBlackTruckDave that for the reply. I almost lost my life the same way. Stay safe out there boys

[@reindeer8890]

Pretty wild. In the case of these entangled trunks, would it make any sense to tug them apart with some sort of motorized winch? or is the sideways force required too great to be practical? I would think that pulling has the advantage of not having to be near the thing.

[@thefjordfeller]

First of all 8:24 seeing Randys reaction, was hilarious! Second, this squad could do some serious damage together 😎

[@bobrutherford4097]

Loved the Q&A. Nice to see Tim’s game really cooking now.

Nice job guys! I had a huge widow-maker snag from a large cottonwood which snapped off about 40+feet up. I decided it wasn't worth my health to attack it. Luckily the contract crew's bucket truck reached it from my driveway. Once on the ground you could see the cottonwood was rotted into a cannon-barrel.
