Interesting to see something else as only removals. Very few people show pruning and even less people talk about tying to tops together… I didn’t even know that was done let alone that there was special synthetic stuff to do this. Thanks for showing something interesting and different 👍

[@VeteranTreeService]

@@Wannabearborist Glad you enjoyed. As always, thanks for watching and commenting.

[@TreeworxvdPloeg]

I agree. This was highly informative

[@michaelnassar1666]

Highly recommend putting an alpine butterfly fly above your base tie, if you are to hurt yourself, ground crew can hook a rope to it and lower you down. Keep safe and climb on 🤙

[@br-dj2ti]

Now when you put the Alpine butterfly above your base tie how would the ground crew lower you down by hand would they have to lower you manually by using their own strength correct thank you

[@rex7020]

They can by hand or use the friction of a nearby tree or a porta wrap or similar

[@michaelnassar1666]

@@br-dj2ti what Rex said, typically they’re trees near by. If not, play it safe and add the porta wrap.

[@br-dj2ti]

@@michaelnassar1666 so what you mean is Buddy they can click or tie a rope into the Alpine butterfly take a couple wraps around a tree or a porta wrap and then they would untie your base tie correct and then lower you down slowly is that alright thank you

[@jdude000]

@@br-dj2ti If the person on the ground is a climber they can even attach their rope and harness to the alpine. Take all the slack out of the line, disconnect the base anchor, and then use their friction hitch to descend the person down.

I will use my big shot EVERY SINGLE TIME without shame. Huge time saver bc I can’t throw a throw ball if my life depended on it lol. I used my big shot to get a 25 ft line set. It looked ridiculous but I don’t care

[@dazzer5123]

That bumper acts like a shock absorber

[@VeteranTreeService]

I was reading about that. Interesting idea. I don't get hurricane winds or 70mph gusts in my area so I'm confident I could have gotten away with not using it.

[@dazzer5123]

​@VeteranTreeService I'm from UK we don't have mega winds but have always come with the cobra kits so always have put them in place love your work mind 🎉

[@erlendgreulichfrontierbigw218]

It is a shock absorber…!

[@AaronTheViking250]

Where i live when they cable a tree. They will take all the measurements and simply drill ahole thred the lag bolt with a washer through tighten it to specs and cut off any extra length and bobs your uncle. Now im sure there are many ways other ways of doing it and everything but its just how they do it out here.

[@VeteranTreeService]

Hey! How did you know Bob's my uncle!?

[@AaronTheViking250]

@VeteranTreeService my grampa used to say it all the time so it grew on me.

[@jonkeith2624]

Idk if you know this but if you use a knee ascender and put your flip line around the tree it like spike up the tree almost and save your arms and you dint really backup the bowline all you did was put a half hitch or something like that on the end of the line that’s not going do anything if it was to slip out I back it up with a double fisherman knot and I kinda think cable debatable of it really works or not I seen tree die after they got cable and over so just fine idk plus when there no more space for the tree idc what you do it going fail

[@josiamac]

You shouldn’t be spiking a tree for a prune. White pine like that it will cause a lot of damage

[@iffykidmn8170]

No White pine was harmed spiking while making this video.

[@In-The-Trees]

nice edit man! Keep doing what your doing!

[@VeteranTreeService]

Thanks. Still getting better. Working on sound design.

[@rex7020]

Two great channels in the same spot!

[@woodworker3122]

The weight (bumper plate) between the two tie-ins is for the squirrels and birds to swing on.😊

[@VeteranTreeService]

Lol. Good one.

[@rickstafford5316]

Very cool

[@Bixby-and-Buckshot]

Don't let this go to your head or anything, but I think you're getting a lot better at all this. That was really good.

[@VeteranTreeService]

👍 My first few years of climbing/rigging/cutting was spent just getting comfortable with the basics. Now that I trust my gear and have built muscle memory moving through the trees and operating chainsaws I can open my brain up to more creative tactics. It's a process. I love to learn. Soon I'll be working with different tree services and climbers. Iron sharpens iron. This may seem minute to some, but I just had my first custom rigging sling built. I'm starting to see new possibilities.

[@Bixby-and-Buckshot]

@@VeteranTreeServicethat’s really neat I hope you feature your custom gear on the channel.

[@VeteranTreeService]

@@Bixby-and-Buckshot you know what's also mentionable, making these videos not only do I get tons of feedback from viewers, I get to watch my actions over and over to learn from and to consider what else I can do to make a process better.

[@riskitgaming7710]

I recently got a knee and foot ascender. Ive started using those to get up into the tree and then putting my spikes on. Its so much faster for me

[@br-dj2ti]

Hey Tim that last video that Jacob just put up when you climbed the Cottonwood and the pine that shirt you had on at the end do you sell them I love that shirt with the flag on it

[@VeteranTreeService]

Thanks. Not currently selling them but I might down the road.

You spike for trimming????

[@Talltree_1]

@@VeteranTreeServiceyes I watched it lmao just didn’t understand why you didn’t have a knee ascender along with a chest harness to help you get up the tree faster 😂 cool vid tho

[@VeteranTreeService]

@@Talltree_1 I have a gas ascender (Ropetek Wraptor) but I wanted to trim the tree as I went up.

@@VeteranTreeService I got you keep it up 👍🏽

[@billyshumate853]

Nice video and good job

[@drakedezarzana1771]

Buy a knee ascender and chest strap for your rrp you'll thank me later. Also whenever possible I climb to the top and switch over to DT with a friction saver. It's very easy when you're working fast to accidentally cut your rope going down to the base anchor or even just unnecessarily beat up your rope with limbs

[@VeteranTreeService]

I have those things, but I'll still thank you for watching. 😉👍
