Working At The Lake!

Life is always better at the Lake !!! Like to see part 2

[@pidginmac]

Wish I was cool with all the tools... what a garden I could make!!!

[@vhostovich]

Amazing the amount of work the group does in one day.

[@silvernatedogg]

I would enjoy seeing a simultaneous shot of your hands working the controls! You are very precise!

[@ut000bs]

Just say "Action!" to get a starting point for the finished video so it's much easier to synch the 2 or more views.

[@radioace318la]

you two work really well together. You're reading his body language and he knows what to expect from you. That's pretty rare. It's a win-win. You have good people and they get to continue to live and keep all their digits. I would imagine losing a finger in a pipe joint wouldn't be that difficult. Cheers from Louisiana.

[@roymagnus827]

A trick I use to determine where a tree will reach to when it falls, is stand back quite aways get a stick or long twig hold it up to the tree, break it off so its the same length of the tree as seen from where you are, then keeping the bottom of the stick flush with the bottom of the tree tilt it over till it's horizontal to the ground. The top of the stick will tell you where the top of the tree will end up. Believe me it works.

[@scotabot7826]

Chris, Please tell Timmy to always back away from the tree when it starts to fall, and not walk by the base/stump as its falling. If there is no hinge that thing could shoot backwards and crush him. I know that you know all this stuff and your helping to train Tim, I just couldn't bare to see him get hurt. Beautiful job as always, and thanks for the video!!

[@mikemcneil7327]

Your assuming Timmie can't read?😜

[@TrevorDennis100]

I had the same thought. He walked right behind the stump as it was going down, and it could so easily have ended badly. If you watch chainsaw logging channels, they always get out of the way when the trees are falling. They might have done it for nothing 99 times out of a 100, but that 1% could kill you.

[@GARDENER42]

I cringed at that, his removal of his helmet & both Tim & Chris' lack of eye & hearing protection. I ran a saw for many years & still have some hearing loss, despite wearing hearing protection, though that might be down to too many rock concerts & too much pheasant shooting...

[@kevinmurray7135]

That’s right call the path of less damage and very nice catch on the tree yup that’s skill 👍 10:58 2:45pm NY 😎🇺🇸

[@martin2520]

Nice catch with the tree , pure skillage :)

[@ralphhippard2995]

I like the way you and Tim work together like a team. You have trained him well.

[@Blazer02LS]

Maybe mention to them they might want to install some protection around that hydrant now that people can easily hit it with a trailer/truck. We do ours with simple 4X4s painted bright yellow with reflectors on the corners.

[@marcryvon]

Nice to see those two working as one. No useless words, each one knowing what and when to do it. Cool team, guys.

Nus life’s a bitch 😆😆

[@paulbrasier372]

People dont see it but I loved the days I got to do Chris's job. Running is so much easier on your body then what Tim has to do. Standing on your feet all day, bending, cutting with the saw, in and out of ditches. It's a lot harder doing 10 hours on your feet following a machine.

[@hillbillyb4u]

10:00 I bet that house next to the boat launch is thrilled about the beer drinking spot/parking lot going in, lol

Some day i should strap a camera to our jobs. Just never make it happen. We do quality work like you guys. Thats why i love watching.

[@TrevorDennis100]

It's funny you should say that about sleeping, because Tim always looks like he is half asleep lately. For such a young lad, he sure doesn't suffer from an energy overload.

mccrossins forestry what about the chainsaw personal , protection, equipment (P.P.E.) many Americans don’t seem to use it , especially the trousers (Pants) when using a chainsaw , could save loosing a leg .

[@pirox2720]

Chris Snelling your right on the saw pants I seen a video where a guy purposely cut into a pair to show what would happen and as soon as the saw cut into them the fibers wound into the saw and killed it there's like 20 layers to save your legs

[@TrevorDennis100]

@J/C Chris is actually a lot better than most YT presenters regarding hose-piping the camera. I think he does it all hand held without a gimbal, which is impressive. I suspect Chris would be sick of reading comparisons with Andrew Camarata, but it is fair to say that Andrew is a master at this stuff, and keeps up to date with the equipment he uses making for smooth photography. On the other hand, Mike (Dirt Perfect) uses lots of decent equipment to film his channel, but still makes a hash of it. facebook.com/dirtperfect/photos/a.317914602187853/372093056770007/?type=3&theater

Hi there, Question, The trucks you use seem to have many axles two of which are "Lazy axles " as we know them in New Zealand, In the many videos I have watched from your site I have never seen the trucks running on them regardless of the load they are carrying, are these fitted to meet DOT regulations??

[@scotabot7826]

More than likely the axles are down when they are transporting on the highways and we just don't see them? Not sure if they raise the "dead axles" when they get on the job to save wear and tear, or not. Then again, they just might not be loading them heavy enough to use the 3rd and 4th axles?

[@kengamble8595]

Some of the areas have weight restrictions, so they don't need the drag axles!

Julian, they have all of the health and safety stuff the E.U. could ever want ;) Here in the U.S. we do have OSHA and also state level safety people mainly involved in major projects and occasional random checks. With small projects you're unlikely to ever see anyone. The people a building company needs to care about are the insurance company he hires to provide liability insurance and accident safety insurance, those people check your history for accidents and problems before they agree to cover you.
