Hi . I'm Jeff. Iv been climbing trees now for over 28 years. I started on the railway in the early 90s. Did it for 9 years on the railway but then the gang got disbanded. But I kept it up till this day and I'm 55 and still love it. I'm still on the railway so do tree work in my spare time. Iv only been watching your videos over the last 6 months. I really enjoy watching them. I live in Manchester England. Keep up the good work. Jeff ..
not sure why someone would thumbs down this video... great shots with the drone, informative and well done. thank you for taking the time to post another great video!
Yogi Ramadin .....The best, most experienced, thumbs down arborists are couch potatoes, obese, mindless morons, capable of very little other than playing with their keyboard and spouting forth bilge having gained their knowledge from TH-cam but an expert in chopping sticks with a meat cleaver, purchased from a rogue trader at a boot sale. I hope this answers your question. They are everywhere, in all walks of life, young and old and usually bitter has beens. This video was well presented, with easy to follow explanations of the process.
Great video love to see the different ways others do the job and share the knowledge. I have been looking into the battery power top handle saw I think you just pushed me over the edge looked like it did an amazing job. Thanks again stay safe
The sweater certainly isn't for the cat walk, but it is the best item of clothing I own for working in the cold and also keeps you warm in wet weather too as it's wool. They're really popular with loggers in the PNW due to the weather, and I'v actually seen hipsters wearing them recently in the city which was a shocker
Cheers bro, awesome that you liked the video! Can you list a few of the things you have learnt from watching this? It would be interesting to hear what someone with only a year climbing picks up from this video, probably some things that I wouldn't even think of.
I hope that you can understand what you have done over the years as gain massive amounts of experience from somebody that has been watching you for a total of 3 years I can see your progression is so significantly great well thought-out end safety a mandatory at all times during production
Nice helmet bumblebee. I recently got a protos myself, along with a few other guys at our company. Intercom works well with a wired microphone stuck to the mesh visor. The noise cancellation is solid, and the mic is always in the correct position.
Great video Dan you awesome, learning a lot from you bro keep it up, from where I come from in the Seychelles very small country we don't have that kind of training and equipment.. so I'll be looking forward for more, thanks again Dan.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Keep an eye on our website and TH-cam channel for more videos and content like this. I’m so glad we can help by showing different techniques to you all the way over in the Seychelles, I would love to visit someday
Nice job! Would you please do a short video on how you configure your climbing line into a safety line after you have removed all of the branches and you are blocking down the main stem. Any information about how you tie the line and move it down the stem and position it would be greatly appreciated.
The main climbing rope is tied using a running bowline with yosemite tie off, the climber is using a rope wrench and hitch as this is a stationary rope configuration. as he blocks the stem down he just moves the rope down with him
Great videos guy's, im in Western Australia on 8 acres with some serious eucalypt trees over buildings,i would love to learn the craft but would imagine this would require alot of training, any suggestions?
To me, simple is hooking a rope to the top and yanking it over with a truck or trailer-what you guys did their was awesome. I ask if that’s the Husqvarna 556 battery chainsaw in the video because I’m considering buying that or the echo 2511t as a climbing saw. I’m just starting up, been using a ms170 and a jonsered 2268 as my climbing saws and want need something lighter with better ergonomics. Any insight?
Hi Dan, how are you doing with the Lyme's disease? Real wake-up call when I saw your diagnosis, heard about it when I worked over in the States, but had no idea of the severity and impact it could have. Sending positive thoughts, hope all is well.
Really love your videos! Thank you. I guess there's really no way to do it in a video, but if you can figure out some way to help new arborists learn to estimate the time (labor hours) a job will require. That's been one the most difficult things to learn for me.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Re: estimating - That is an impossible thing to try and teach somebody, it all comes from experience, knowing your crew, what gear you have to work with, ideas for how to do the job efficiently etc...
sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Tommy Jayson thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Another job well done with the video and the removal. Thanks for making these, looking forward to the next one. Dan, how do you like the integrated safety glasses on the Protos helmet? Any pros/cons to speak of? I was thinking of looking into a shaded version for when it's sunny/bright and I'm trying to look up in the canopy.
Cheers bro, awesome that you liked the video! There are more to come like this one.... I love the integrated glasses in the protos because it allows a proper seal of the ear muff over the ear without the arm of the glasses. It is a fantastic helmet.
The job took a few hours, but filming the job added on quite a lot of time so it wouldn't be a true representation of how long it could have taken without the filming aspect.
It’s kind of a pointless question because prices differ city to city depending on cost of living, supply and demand etc... country to country, then exchange rate if you are trying to compare to your own country
JB..sensitive question......everyone tries NOT to answer this. Must be a trade secret. My estimation is around $1200. cdn....mayb $1,000 considering these guys making some money on the wood. Stump grinding an extra $150. in two weeks. My guess.
Like Dan already said its kind of a pointless question because there are so many variables. I work in northeast PA and south FL and the prices are a night and day difference. I can say that for the tree in this video I would have to look at it in person to get a true idea of it's size but a ball park price for northeast PA would be $1500-2300
Nice vid. Great explanations about what's going on. Two things: Looks like that tree was topped...did that have something to do with the borer getting into the tree? Also, Is it standard procedure to be tied in twice when using a power saw? I know you're adamant about not one-handing a power saw...but I thought also the double tie-in is required.What I'm getting at is that every climber I know in the industry "sometimes" one-hands and also sometimes cuts with only one tie in... Just curious
Bronze birch borer is affecting almost all birch trees in this area, topped or not. Treatment can only be done if there are slight signs of BBB, and then at the right time.
Bronze Birch Borer tends to begin killing the tree from the top down, and so the cuts you can see are from previous reductions of the deadwood due to the BBB. We always use 2 hands when operating a saw, and always tie in twice. Many people will come up with reasons why they feel they don't need to but I've yet to hear a good answer, it comes down to laziness in my personal opinion. In the last 4 years since making the decision to not cut corners in any situation I have yet to come across a scenario where I had to use one hand and/or one tie in point when operating a chainsaw.
Just a little tid bit... last week I had only one tie in point because I was comfortable with what I felt I was doing. Got 20 ft up in a Gumwood, limbing up as I went and cut my lanyard. 20ft fall onto my back, suffered a concussion and still a bit beat up. Nothing broken, but still can't work. There's a reason we should be tied in 2x.
Ryans Land & Tree were ya using a steel core lanyard or just a rope lanyard? You should always have your climbing line attached to the tree or stem as well as a positioning lanyard and have a bit of distance between the two just in case you nick one.
Ryans Land & Tree thanks for sharing your story, 2 tie in points are so important, nobody ever thinks they will cut themselves, but it happens and all too often it’s very serious when it happens.
There would be a hell of a mess on the ground, and we did rig a few bits, so I would never have done this job alone for those reason. Also from a safety aspect.
In video #1 we used a simple speed line, for this tree we felt it would be more efficient to go about the job in this manner. Hard to say what would have worked better

Awesome videos! Really like the parts where you can see how you all are positioning yourselves in trees when cutting. Thank you!

Another good vid, thanks Dan. I like that you mentioned why the tree was coming down. 🇨🇦👍🏼
Cheers bro, awesome that you liked the video!
It looked like a perfect spring day for that Birch tree ! Not to hot ! Nice tidy job !
Cheers Stephen
Yep.................great video! I love the Husqvarna Battery Saw. Nice annnnnnd quiet! Great job talking us through the job as the tree comes down.
Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! We love the battery saw!
Im sure that all arborists when taking down logs always take a quick look at the sawdust flying away, because is sich a satisfying view.
Also for some reason, dusting off the stem after the cut.
@@nichols0497 hahaha yes true.
Thanks for vidéo .what a great day for treework.....your climber coudda waved at the drone.🙋♂️
Cheers bro, awesome that you liked the video!
Awesome climbing Justin, that birch was bigger than i initially thought! Love to see that chipper and truck setup Dan. Be Well
Cheers Troy!
Nice job Dan
Cheers bro, awesome that you liked the video!
This makes men want to move to Canada bro and follow the arb life. Cheers for the great vids from a sub from Hampshire UK
Canada is a great move, even if only for the short term on a work visa
Hey Dan have you been to Alberta and or worked there? I know you’re located in bc but I’m moving to Alberta to start a new climbing job. Cheers
Great video love to see the different ways others do the job and share the knowledge. I have been looking into the battery power top handle saw I think you just pushed me over the edge looked like it did an amazing job. Thanks again stay safe
Every single house on that block looks great.
Well done! Your sweater had me cracking up a bit! It looked like it had a built in Daisy chain to ascend your climbing system haha
The sweater certainly isn't for the cat walk, but it is the best item of clothing I own for working in the cold and also keeps you warm in wet weather too as it's wool.

Learn something new every time i watch your videos
Great to hear, that’s what we are hoping to achieve with each video
I love watching these, learn some much from them. Only been climbing a year and these are helping so much. Keep it up 🤪👌
Cheers bro, awesome that you liked the video!
Can you list a few of the things you have learnt from watching this? It would be interesting to hear what someone with only a year climbing picks up from this video, probably some things that I wouldn't even think of.

Another great video Dan, Love this series of videos. Climb safe 👍
Cheers Matt, awesome that you liked the video!

Thanks Joe, your comment really means a lot!
Love the sound of that saw
It's awesome
Nice helmet bumblebee. I recently got a protos myself, along with a few other guys at our company. Intercom works well with a wired microphone stuck to the mesh visor. The noise cancellation is solid, and the mic is always in the correct position.
Protos are great! Yeah, I fix my Sena microphone just inside the brim of the helmet, never even would know its there
Thanks for posting.
Thanks for commenting dude, glad you enjoyed the vid
well done ....very useful information and well put together
Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for making these. I need to learn some shit. And buy some rigging stuff
Good job simple and effective
Cheers bro, awesome that you liked the video!
Weird seeing you on the ground bro! Great job done as always lads!
Haha, it's weird to be on the ground, but a nice change every once in a while. Thanks for commenting
You’re not mike curwens lass. Stop kidding yourself.
Nice job guys 👍

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Do you find you get less "drop in" customers using the electric saw? Less people stopping by asking for bids?
Not really sure, but I feel the benefits of using the battery saw as much as possible out weigh the odd request for a quote
I like to leave some stumps or crotches if they are useful for natural crotch rigging and also decending to next section when blocking down trunk 👍
What jumper are you wearing please Dan?? Really like that
Great videos guy's, im in Western Australia on 8 acres with some serious eucalypt trees over buildings,i would love to learn the craft but would imagine this would require alot of training, any suggestions?
MS200T is the way to go. Too bad they don't make them anymore 😉 best saw ever made
Speedline to the chipper would've been nice! Slow is fast🤠💪
That also would have been a good, viable option 👍
To me, simple is hooking a rope to the top and yanking it over with a truck or trailer-what you guys did their was awesome.
I ask if that’s the Husqvarna 556 battery chainsaw in the video because I’m considering buying that or the echo 2511t as a climbing saw.
I’m just starting up, been using a ms170 and a jonsered 2268 as my climbing saws and want need something lighter with better ergonomics. Any insight?
Nice snap cuts
how do you hang on from the tree ? what gear do you use ? any vids on how you get that set up ?
Check out our website ClimbingArborist.com for all the info you need
Hi Dan, how are you doing with the Lyme's disease? Real wake-up call when I saw your diagnosis, heard about it when I worked over in the States, but had no idea of the severity and impact it could have. Sending positive thoughts, hope all is well.
Hi Wayne, thanks for your question. I’m dealing with it pretty well at the moment through lifestyle changes, dietary changes, and herbal suppliements.
Really love your videos! Thank you. I guess there's really no way to do it in a video, but if you can figure out some way to help new arborists learn to estimate the time (labor hours) a job will require. That's been one the most difficult things to learn for me.

@Tommy Jayson It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
Great video. Fun to watch. No tree squeeze?
how long does that battery last? thinking of buying it to for doing work in residential areas
All day if doing small cuts 4-6", larger cuts will drain the battery quicker like 8-10"
I love my battery powered saw
Is he tied off in only one place while he's on that branch around 7:10? Is that an acceptable risk?
nice sweater where did u get that it looks warm
Another job well done with the video and the removal. Thanks for making these, looking forward to the next one. Dan, how do you like the integrated safety glasses on the Protos helmet?

Ever have birch to split?
Yes, when we take down a Birch
Great job and awesome camera shots as always.
What manufacturer of saddle do you prefer. Looked like the guy in the tree was wearing a treemotion.
TreeMOTION all the way, best saddle on the market in my opinion
@@ClimbingArborist thanks. I was leaning towards that one.
What took you to America?
Seems you could have saved a lot of time & energy by speed lining; especially considering the hedge...nice video!
Nice video and well done. How long did you take down this tree? pls.😄😄😄
The job took a few hours, but filming the job added on quite a lot of time so it wouldn't be a true representation of how long it could have taken without the filming aspect.
How much would it cost to remove a tree like that?
How much did u get for that removal?
Could I ask how much something like this cost to remove a tree in your area of the country?
Great job fellows, cheers

Lol, there is always a wee Acer to avoid!
So true 😂
Do you only use battery chainsaws now?
We use the battery saw wherever it makes sense, and in the tree that is a lot of the time. It's so nice to work with
Nice
first let me say that your videos are great. My question is could this be done with no groundsman and just the guy in the tree
There would be a hell of a mess on the ground, and we did rig a few bits, so I would never have done this job alone for those reason. Also from a safety aspect.
Can I have a job?.😄 tree climbing is my passion...
That was incredible fellas! Great video with the drone too! Was that the T536LiXP you guys' were using?
Well done 👍🏿. Was that the BLi300 battery?
Thanks buddy! No it was the BLi 200 battery, I much prefer it because the saw is lighter and more balanced
what would life be without the snap cut
Pretty terrible i'd say...
More rigging and easier on the climber ;-)
What is the brand of pants you guys wear? I'm looking for a good work pant
Pfanner and Arbortec
@@ClimbingArborist thank you so much
Would zip lining been easier and quicker? Away from the Maple 🍁
In video #1 we used a simple speed line, for this tree we felt it would be more efficient to go about the job in this manner. Hard to say what would have worked better
👍👍😉
such a shame too just firewood all that beautiful birch #ripluthiers #deadtables
We do mill up some trees, but the wood storage is jammed full, there just wasn't the room for any more
