Barber Chair This Tree on Purpose! Who wouldn't?

[@VeteranTreeService]

Who knows where the term "scare strap" comes from? I talk about it at 23:49

[@Wannabearborist]

I think it might have to do with the fact that this is the closest thing to your chainsaw and if you thus cut it your second tie in (which you hopefully have) is what will have to save you. Thus that’s pretty scary. I don’t know though, that’s just purely my unprofessional opinion.

The only guy that started teaching me had a 17 ton 75ft mantex crane gave me 150ft of Sampson true blue an old weaver saddle with the two d rings…I was only allowed one knot which was a taut line hitch. He said all ya need is a rope you don’t need no scare strap 😂😂 so id tie into the crane set my riggin repel down take pull the end of my rope up retie in an make my cut… i did finally have a fit one day an bought a “scare strap” he always told me i wasn’t a real climber cause I couldn’t feel climb to the top with just spike an tie in….it was so freakin hard to balance an make crane cuts with only a rope… an them saddles sucked…. Makes me appreciate all my nice new gear I’ll tell ya that bud

[@rickstafford5316]

Just what Tim said, is how I heard it coming up. Resting a limb sure does make some jumpy twitchy. lol Nice work

[@robcooper3171]

Buckin Billy Ray calls it a scare strap aswell

[@lindacarey9494]

Great job!

[@luketreewalker369]

Really cool land you guys are in here. Another great video. Thanks guys!

[@VeteranTreeService]

It really is!

[@truckman19771000]

I’m considering moving to Missouri. Very beautiful place and people are so friendly and considerate

[@VeteranTreeService]

I don't like the weather there. It's supposed to be 3 degrees in the morning. 🥶 The next day it could be 60!

[@truckman19771000]

@ yea. I get it. But I’m born and raised in FL. I want to enjoy all the different seasons.

[@shadowcipher7336]

Love your videos, I'm not a logger or anything but its super cool to see what you do, especially since it helps others. Keep it up!

[@FileDocumentations]

Thank you for more amazing content, and my freedom.

[@julianalderson3938]

Nice bro can take a while get shot in on other trees. But so nice when done. Cheers tim

[@DLeslie-o6g]

You steered that tree perfectly.

[@Danilo-visinski]

Well done 👏

[@JimmyCurran-l7n]

❤great video Tim.

[@VeteranTreeService]

Thank you

[@julianalderson3938]

Thanx tims

[@VeteranTreeService]

You got it!

[@earndoggy]

Today I was wishing you guys were closer. Remember that huge storm I mentioned that we had in Alaska on Sunday? Apparently it DID weaken one of our trees. It fell so slowly that nobody noticed until earlier this afternoon I looked up and it was leaning on the fence and only a couple inches away from my neighbor's garage. He said he noticed it around the same time. He and my husband plan on cutting it tomorrow despite me saying "I think we should call a professional". Yikes LOL

[@VeteranTreeService]

So how did the tree cutting go?

[@earndoggy]

@@VeteranTreeService surprisingly well! Between the two of them they got it cut up into manageable pieces. Luckily it was far enough down that no ladders were needed. Minimal damage to the fence and none to the garage roof! Whew!

[@nilsgreibich2104]

Hi Tim, very interesting to see how the first one barber chaired by the back cut only!!! Never heard the term scare strap... in germany the positioning Lanyard is called "short safety line" or "holdind line"

[@VeteranTreeService]

👋 good too know. 👍

[@TreeManagementofOklahoma]

I love watching you go straight to the cut but I wonder in some of the films that you do coming up if you would show a little bit more of a realistic time frame of how long it takes to get into position tied in and make the cut without fast forwarding straight to the cut just curious because I like to see the setup too

[@VeteranTreeService]

It's pretty fast.

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Nice 😊 🤠🤙🤙

[@VeteranTreeService]

✌️👋👍

[@eric_seguin]

Just hangin' around.

[@RiseandClimbLLC]

Hell yeah tim

[@VeteranTreeService]

👋👍

[@In-The-Trees]

I've been thinking hard about picking up one of those 7310 just to mid the crap out of. What did you think of that saw?

[@VeteranTreeService]

I didn't run it that day, but it seems to cut well.🤷‍♂️👍

[@JamesBower-c4w]

I think I need lessons on setting a line with a Big Shot. So far I have 3 throw balls stuck in a 60 foot red oak. You make it look so easy.

[@VeteranTreeService]

😄 that's funny

[@justinsbeaver9010]

Dude it's entertaining to see you see do unsafe things and I appreciate that you explain why what you just did is dangerous so we can all learn, but NGL, I fear one day you will get hurt and I don't want that 😬

[@VeteranTreeService]

You're not alone. People have been saying that since I started this channel, and they'll be saying that for years to come until I retire from tree work.

Usaha Pangkas, Pemotongan dan penebangan yang bagus kawan, ngomong-ngomong ini di daerah mana, apakah jauh dari lokasi kebakaran California? Salam dari Indonesia?

[@VeteranTreeService]

Hello. Yes, this is pretty far away from the fires.

[@mutingsatu1]

@VeteranTreeService baik, terima kasih informasinya, Selamat berkarya💪🙏

[@SidonianTree]

Great video as always brother. A lot of great climbing and videography all in one. When do you officially exit the Air Force? I imagine your business will only get even better afterwards

[@VeteranTreeService]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. I start terminal leave in April. As far as what's next for the business, I'm just taking one day at a time.

[@jvenema86]

so wonderful beautiful video my best friend i love it see so nice make me so happy ❤❤❤❤

[@matthewmeuleman9872]

whats the brand of the toy saw that you were useing

[@VeteranTreeService]

It's an echo 2500T. Light little thing. I enjoy it.

[@julianalderson3938]

Sometimes wonder why just not rig stuff. Lota pushin n maybe easier just set it up in tie it!

[@axesandthings483]

Trying to start a warm husky 555. I have a video on that 😀 I loaned it to friends and they always had a hard time with it. Awesome saw but aren't you cheating on Stihl? I thought you were a Stihl guy?!

[@jasondeihl3665]

what part of Missouri are you from originally?

[@VeteranTreeService]

The capital. Jefferson City. I left there at 18 years old when I joined the Air Force. That was 20 years ago. Sheesh, that went by fast. 😅

[@jasondeihl3665]

@VeteranTreeService right on man. I'm just east of Kansas city, love your videos man.

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Wow Sargent you have some dead wood there.

[@BenjaminMetcalf-g8z]

Your saw isn’t idling so high I’d check the clutch or clutch spring it may be worn out

[@VeteranTreeService]

Good tip. 👍

[@jeffschroeder9089]

Guys that have scare straps also have cherry pickers haha

[@VeteranTreeService]

Hey Jeff! 👋

[@john.debolt]

it’s scared strap: not scare strap.. that term “scared strap” has been around forever. in the early 90’s, in colorado, dudes would only climb with their main tie-in and would never usually use a lanyard (aka: scared strap), and if you ever had to use a “lanyard” while climbing, they’d considered you scared of the tree, cause you had to break out your “scared strap” in order to feel safe in the tree. that’s why the old timers called it a “scared strap”. *note: first hand knowledge.* 😆

[@VeteranTreeService]

Great explanation! Appreciate it.

[@julianalderson3938]

Bro battery saw lot dont like but dont run on. Apart from the echo.

[@jonathanspafford7181]

bro i’ve never just flopped branches on stuff like you did w that shed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know they aren’t hot lava it’s simply looks for the homeowner , doesn’t matter if there’s no damage just be better ! customers don’t wanna see that! all you had to do was make a notch and handsaw it or make a snap cut bro, or take your spikes off and limb walk out there further…

[@VeteranTreeService]

I'll just get better then. 😎
