Tree climber truck tour! How I setup my work truck so I’m prepared for any tree job.

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

Some people correctly pointed out that I should have a first aid kit in my truck and I felt like a total dummy because i kept procrastinating buying one and I definitely should have had one before making this video. Just wanted to comment here and say that I HAVE purchased a first aid kit and it’s in the truck now. My wife also suggested I put a fire extinguisher in there too and I’ll do that as well. 👍🏼

[@kavemanthewoodbutcher]

My first aid kit is on the driver side of my tool box, on the shelf, plainly visible. My fire extinguisher needs bought...

[@chriscolburn2211]

A couple traffic flares might not be a bad idea either.

[@markp.9707]

Nice!! Good suggestion by your wife.

[@stickyricky345]

Three red reflective triangles are nice to have too

[@margaretwilkinson9140]

how about a tourniquet?

[@jasonmichaeljimenez]

Thanks for adding the baby to the end. Most important tool for motivating and going to work.

[@willcarr5763]

Nice layout. Have gordy install an air compressor for blowing out saws etc and a power inverter for charging saw batteries. Oh and don't forget to keep an extra pair of socks in the glove box for randy's spurs

[@johnnyshell2839]

That's really a killer setup. Simple. Clean. Organized. Great job bro

[@MedicGeorge]

So cool! Being a longtime very longtime Paramedic I’m always fascinated with the set up on all working rigs. It’s so personal yet works for everyone. Great rig!

[@happycamper6352]

As a paramedic, you may have some useful suggestions for tree guys in terms of what first aide materials to have on hand. That would actually make a pretty good video idea. What would you recommend? Tree work involves risks of blunt force trauma and deep cuts among other things. What would you recommend to have in a tree guy's truck?

[@MedicGeorge]

@@happycamper6352 I’m sure that would be a great video. Front line first aid starts with proper safety gear and well maintained equipment . I’m not a fan of everyone having a tourniquet that takes a bit of training but a good quick clot bandage can be used without a lot if training other than the instructions on the box or packet. They can be carried easily on your person. Stay away from the kits containing the nasal and oral airway devices they need proper training. An assortment of bandages small to large is good along with some eye wash system. You can also add a SAM splint which is a very soft aluminum roll which can stabilize a broken arm . Most industrial kits will handle a large part of nick, cuts , scrapes,Add a basic first aid course you should be set . Benadryl is also important as well, for insect stings .A packet or 2 of electrolyte powders can make a huge difference . Not a detailed list here but hopefully a start.

[@GraeMatterz]

Nice rig setup. I do have a suggestion: Mats in the compartments, especially in the compartment where you keep your boots. As things slide around they will get scuffed on the metal surfaces (made worse if there's debris on those surfaces) and the mats will reduce that.

[@COSpacegunner]

Very nice. I highly suggest bolting the TS box to the truck bed. Someone watching this video is salivating to steal the entire box. Also, hitting a bump or pot hole will cause the box to bounce (I know this from experience). Lastly, I would run a cable with lock(s) through the off-hand handles and/or kick-back levers for added security.

[@darrengarlough5121]

Don’t know if you will read this but I appreciate your video. I’m 57 been doing tree work my whole life, always been self employed with big trucks and chippers, my wife and I raised 4 children doing so. But now I feel as though I’m at a turning point in life where I would like to downsize and maybe get rid of the big equipment and just do climbing (the part I still enjoy) and set myself up basically the way you just explained. So I appreciate the insight you gave me. Thank you.

[@charm8167]

A beautiful functional rig it’s very well organised and has a professional layout. Loved the wooden business cards. Your ❤daughter is so cute.

[@BissellMapleFarm]

I would say the decision to go out on your own and start your own channel has been a good one! Congrats on your success, Jacob!

[@VeteranTreeService]

I like the blue tape on the extra chains. I'm going to start doing that.

[@TreeTamerApp]

Slick rig! It's awesome seeing the behind the scenes stuff like this, and the saw lock is a great idea!

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

Glad you liked it!

[@markroper9269]

Love the tour!! I would add a dedicated first aid kit for the truck. I have started to carry 2 fire extinguishers in my truck, on in front and one in back. I hope I never need them! Have a great weekend!

[@jamesmooney5348]

Yeah, I'd stay away from diesel. These new diesels are not worth the pain and costs. Good call. I worked at Round Table Pizza at the Mt Shasta mall back in the day.

[@rwc2504]

I was waiting for you to open a side box with a mini fridge full of tube salad options.

[@2aminitials]

At least carry a few foil packets of salad dressing for an emergency, or an afternoon pick-me-up.

[@SugarRayAO]

I’m hella proud of you Jake. Your always getting better and better. I look up to you a lot. Keep up the hard work and don’t lose all that dive and ambition. It’s rare these days man

[@happycamper6352]

There's nothing "cool" about diesel and/or dual wheels unless you need it for something that the gasoline engine/non-dual can't do well. If you're always towing heavy gear like a large skid steer on a heavy flatbed, then maybe diesel makes sense. Even then, your truck probably can tow a normal skid steer with competence. You should be proud that you didn't fall for the rat race trap. Also, was that a 500 I saw? Yours? If so, it wouldn't surprise me if you only rarely use the others beside it, even though they're great saws. Although unbalanced in weight, I have found that the 500 does really well even with a 36" ES Light. The rubber mat(s) should be required of all truck beds. They protect the deck and your knees and keep cargo in place better than one would think during normal driving conditions. I'm so glad that's it's not just old farts like me that use cant hooks. They aren't always needed but worth a lot when you don't want to break your back or start the skid steer just to roll a log. It's so nice that the box is lifted so that you can fit long-handle tools under it. Having ladders in tree work becomes valuable when you're getting on roofs for storm damage, especially if boom lifts are busy at other jobs. All those locks look really good; keep them good with lube. They can be a real pain in the a$$ when they get older if not lubed regularly (don't ask why I know that). Also, it wouldn't hurt to undercoat the truck from time to time, but that's the Easterner in me talking. Pole saws are unsung heroes. Glad you have one. My telescoping 131 is a pain to carry/store; I think I like your kombi with the separate extension better. Finally, I like the wasp/hornet spray, a few of those are always useful, but add garbage bags too for big nests. Bug spray (deet) and sun block can help on certain jobs too. White paint is safe and cool. It statistically has the second best rate of not getting in not-at-fault collisions (second to yellow, which is why busses use yellow). It doesn't cook in the sun as much as any other color too. Overall, I think this truck purchase/configuration was an incredibly wise decision: new so you can focus on cutting and not the truck; utility box bed to keep things organized and fast-access, non-diesel, non-dually because it would have been wasteful in multiple ways, but still stout enough that it can grow with you if/when you need it to. It looks like you're already well aware of all this though; but I wanted to extend my compliments. If you fall for the commenters' pleas for a winch, get a receiver hitch winch with long cables. That way it can go on many trucks, and can still mount to the front if you get a front receiver hitch which would cost much less than some poser-fabulous off-road bumper. Also it can be stored clean until needed rather than being out in the elements when not in use.

[@happycamper6352]

@@scsherman207 lol, sorry about the crazy length of the post; this video had me interested. But just to make sure you're right, I'll say I missed suggesting fire extinguisher and first aid kit; but those were mentioned in other posts.

[@snakeman48]

That little cutie at the end...........😍. Nice setup.

[@chasm9557]

I have a buddy that's a logger, and his boss has switched over to 1 tons with gas motors for all his crew trucks. His reasoning was that the trucks were spending less time in the garage getting worked on and therefore are costing him less money. The 392 hemi under your hood seems to be an overall really reliable engine, and I figure if my buddy's boss can run 8 of them and be content, then it must be fine.

[@Brian-Mondeau37]

I have a 392 in my 18 Laramie 2500 and I love it. Plenty of power, always starts, and was 5-10 grand cheaper than the Cummins. Doesn't sound anywhere as cool, but not worth it for personal use

[@NancyBryantIdeas]

Thank you for the video. That is a nice setup and the outro told us why you stay safe and organized. She is a cutie.

[@ojchart]

Enjoyed the video. Nicely laid out truck. I like organization. I try to keep my "stuff" organized and easily accessed. Makes for smooth operation at job site. Thanks for sharing.

[@acuraintegrar5]

Sweet truck man! Looks like a real nice set up! A winch would top that truck off. I have a power wagon and i use the winch to pull trees over sometimes and the cool thing with rams is that the winch will hide behind the stock bumper.

[@renharbour3323]

Thanks for sharing that Jacob! I have a similar set up with a 2500, but with a utility topper. It works great and all the gear has its place. Keep up the great content!

[@billstetler6769]

You’re a good guy and family man. Thanks for the video

[@SamsonRope]

Great setup! Thank you for using our ropes! 🙌

[@Hp_409]

Cool to see the setup man. By the way, the rubber sweeping brush attachment for that combi tool is pretty neat for cleanup since it handles really wet and heavy stuff well. Saves a lot of time with the rake. Stay lucky bud 🤙

[@billk8780]

Great tour of your truck. LOL at 23:14 regarding Elsie's age! Guys rarely get dates and ages right! All the best from Michigan!

[@X2YZ106]

Nice setup!!, love that Elsie made a showing at the end, what a cutie!!!

[@Brian-Mondeau37]

Love the quad cab for the children and for your extra clothes, always good to have. I'm a big fan of my ram with the 6.4 gas motor, plenty of power for what you're gonna use it for.

[@jeffsnider3588]

You need to add an electric winch on the front so you can pull Gordy out when he gets stuck.

[@nickfarina9638]

Wow! Setting the bar high! Thank you for sharing your setup, I enjoy this kind of content.

[@Faith-vl4lv]

Thats how you do me huh. I'm cutting trees out my Buick Encore but I'm like, you know what Jacob can do it out his Jetta, I can do it out my Buick. Then here you go going all fancy get a truck. In all seriousness, congratulations and I'm happy for you

[@appoutfeed]

You made the right call on the gas engine. I've got. a 2020 Ram 2500 with the gas engine. So far, so good. Just stay on top of the oil changes.

[@PabloP169]

That is one great looking truck, I hope that you keep the truck in a secure location, because now all the crims will know where all your good gear is stored. All they need is an angle grinder and they could cut their way in.

[@mute7116]

Very cool. Great job Jacob and family. Keep up the great work and stay safe.

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

Wow thank you!

[@stihl0256]

I would suggest a fire extinguisher, first aid supplies (extra gauze pads, ace tape, and wound clean than comes in the worthless little kits), more bee spray, Sometimes one can just isn't enough.

[@jimmydupres1847]

Happy for you bro, I also got mine early this year, you come a long way Jacob, been following you since the beginning, I've been inspired alot through your videos keep em coming. Bless you bro

[@codgodsof5702]

Loving the rig! Learning something everytime i watch you.

[@cottonrobinson9401]

I picked up a F-550 with a super cab with the upgraded suspension that is the same way cab n chassis with the 6.7L diesel and the dealer already installed the knaphiede contractor bed w/ladder rack which I attached a rooftop tent and a on demand water heater for when I'm not working close to home which a divided flatbed with the lockable boxes, added an additional lockable fuel transfer tank with normal fuel nozzle and changed the rear bumper to bumper built for towing pointless hook since it just had the normal drop down non tow bumper. Lastly, I mostly work alone as well so I picked a truck bed crane so I can lift up the heavier Timber without having to haul a trailer unless it's absolutely necessary. Total costs as a new truck last years model and picked up the truck for 67,000 built the lightbar rack and winch for front and rear . Much

[@lukefenton8366]

The video I've been waiting for since catching the first glimpse of the new rig in the live video by the power line. Sweet set up Jake 🫡

[@DudeRanchDIY]

[@prestonjoffe5279]

Awesome setup. You buy top of the line stuff. Treat your leather falling belt and boots with Obenaufs leather oil and they'll last even longer.

[@VegasEdo]

But you only needed a roof rack, a hitch rack and a tiny trailer on the Jetta to fit all that. HAHA. Great setup, nice to have everything all the time.

[@mfd4505]

First aid kit, good call. Make sure you have tourniquet as well.

[@burritoriot5724]

Hey Jacob, baby was a great addition to the video. I was just curious; do you have a first aid kit that lives on the truck, or does it stay attached to your harness? I'm not an arborist of any means, I just thought it a little peculiar to not have one when working with machinery.

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

I need to get one asap. I keep meaning to and not doing it. I should have gotten one by now especially before making this video

[@davidst-aubin8682]

I thought the same thing. Maybe a fire extinguisher too? As an aspiring climbing arborist, I’ve been really enjoying your videos! Thanks for the content!

[@georgeparks2708]

@@GuiltyofTreeson Get a 1st aid kit homie! I keep one on every work truck I have. It will save your life when you least expect it.

[@Mattsavage69]

First aid kits are renowned for causing more problems than they solve. In reality theres not much you can’t fix with kitchen roll and electrical tape. The tape must not restrict blood flow or touch any part if the skin due to lock jaw. It mainly comes down to pressure to stop blood flow and not moving someone with a bad back.

[@Mattsavage69]

⁠How exactly is a bandage, 2 plasters and a pair of scissors (with gives the box weight but really shouldn’t be in there) going to save someones life? I think you may be living a dream my friend.

Hi Elsie...cutie pie! Jacob that's a nice setup. Ever think about adding a winch? yeah just one more expense but darn so handy

[@vintagesawyer6246]
