So great to see you doing well. It’s the banter between the people you work with that really makes this channel, such as being with Randy. Great job sorting out that big mess.
@@apveening I do messes like this regularly. Excavator works great. Dig the stumps of the hung trees out, and drag the stump backward or push it sidesays until it falls out of the standing tree. Then it’s just a bunch of bucking. It’s a fantastic tool for these jobs - you’re in a metal cage and never underneath the danger zone. Explosive sound much more fun, however.
Jake, you took out the Gimli tree! From "The Two Towers" where Gimli was supporting a dead Warg, an Uruk-Hai, and another Warg that had fallen on him. Well done!
Jacob's tribute to Jed - "I Love You Jed" th-cam.com/video/v4NNNZjMcV0/w-d-xo.html For those like me who didn't know. From all accounts, he seemed like a person you'd hope to have in your life. Rest in peace Jed.
another safety first job from Jake & his crew of the day - Kevin, Randy & Sondre. that really was a dangerous combo of trees. the loss of Jed is still fresh - greatly missed by all that knew him
30:42 I'm just up to this bit, and Jacob is talking about cutting the limbs off on your way up "everything's smoother, everything's safer" and I feel like there's a Manscape commercial segay coming 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Great work taking down some extremely tricky trees Jake, Kevin, and Randy, nice filming Sandre, liking the swish spurs tatt Randy. Cheers for the reel Jake.
Came home after having to call it quits without getting all the work i wanted for my nephew. Just wasn't comfortable with how sketch the tree was (tie in was lower than i needed to be in a different limb) and the high voltage lines near by. Now i get to enjoy a pro doing a hard job. Today humbled me. Definitely appreciate your skill more now .
ALWAYS so cool to do takedowns with another cat on a tandem climb. The banter's usually easy, and it gets even better knowing you trust him with your life. (Talk about having something in common with someone else while working a good challenge, and EVERYTHING goes right on a special gig.)
100% agree about removing all the smaller pieces first. It’s easy to think “what difference is that little bit going to make?”, but sometimes snagging on something quite small can send your top down in a way you weren’t expecting. Plus it’s easier to move ropes and see what’s there and move around. It sounds like a small detail but it can make a big difference. Well done Jake and team, good day.
During this whole video I was very nervous for you guys. Sorry to hear about your friend that lost his life. May God comfort and bless his entire family and friends during these very trying times. And also May He Rest In Peace. Great team work to all of you. May God Bless and protect You all, in all of your future endeavors.❤PEACE.
@@el5495 From what I heard Jake say and what I read about Jed, he was doing a dangerous storm cleanup job and a tree leaning into another. He has falling it and just started his back cut when a large piece of branch that no one saw shot strait down from the vibrations and killed him instantly. Very sad situation and scary AF because he was very smart. In this vid Jake was showing how easily something that looks secure can just launch down like a missle.
Man that was amazing. You guys work well together and mitigate danger as much as possible. It would have been cool to see a time lapse of the whole project because it was hard to perceive all of those crazy limbs and trees. Nice work guys!
Nice job guys! I had a huge widow-maker snag from a large cottonwood which snapped off about 40+feet up. I decided it wasn't worth my health to attack it. Luckily the contract crew's bucket truck reached it from my driveway. Once on the ground you could see the cottonwood was rotted into a cannon-barrel.
Hi Jacob been missing videos of you and Randy working , me and Linda in the UK just wondering why so few , you two are great together and we enjoy your banter, glad to see you both ok.
After watching this, I would officially like to welcome Jake into the Steel Balls club!!! I used to love tree climbing and all working at heights stuff, but that tree was something else!! Talk about an adrenaline rush that will probably start to wear off in qbout 3 DAYS!! Good job staying safe guy's 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
You men definitely have my respect! Having spent time cutting trees in live HV power lines in 80 foot.cherry pickers.😀 And yes, clear every thing out before you drop the big stuff. Most of what I cut was Gum trees(Eucalyptus) which doesn't have much straight timber. I was a HV linesman in Australia.Now retired.
Wow, that was a crazy job! There were multiple points in this job that would tripped my "oh hell no... not doing that" trigger. Salute to you you guys with your skill and bravery!
This has got to be one of my favourite videos you’ve made Jacob apart from the one right next to the massive big church with the crane that’s my favourite of all time out of all the videos you’ve made but this was great in-depth skill and of course it wouldn’t be the same without old Randy thanks guys 😊😊😊😊
In a situation like that where it is extremely dangerous, could you use the Micro-Blaster that they use for mining and just blow the junctions apart so the hung up trees fall? Then you can down the remaining.
I only found this channel a few days ago, and I am now hearing of Jed's death, that makes me sad, I understand he's in video's on the channel too, so I'll be seeing him later on. My sincere condolences to you all.
For those of you that are not subscribed that don't know anything about tree work this was a really difficult tree one of the worst I've ever seen. They deserve a subscription.
Holy heck. A gnarly job well done! Great banter. Great action. Always love a 395xp (yeah, the chain tensioner is nonsense.) Amazing double-tones on Randy's footage, made me think of the bagpipes! (Aye, I'm Scottish :-). Hey, ye should be paying Randy & Kevin twice. Once for the tree work & once for the Screen Actors Union rates. 😊 All the best to you and yours. Good to know yourself & that you want to work with others. Each to their own. 👍 Mark Oh, and hats off to the editor. 👍
That's the first time I've heard you talk about how Jed died. It must have been very sobering to be thinking through taking down that mess of trees, knowing that a similar situation took Jed's life. I've just rewatched you and Jed taking down that massive cottonwood together. It's one of my fav vids of you guys working together. Kim in New Zealand
Great video!! Love that your got the band back together!! Have a great weekend and holiday!! I still can't decide who is humbler...you or Randy!!?? LOL
Jed definitely grew on me, and to understand his demise just a little more is sobering. Still watch videos of him on this channel…it’s a brotherhood
not familiar with northern american lumberjacks/treeclimbers... so: who is jed?
and what happened?
The eco from the saws is amazing 😁🥳and we all miss jed as well it’s horrible to loose a good friend
Echo *
Not only is the echo kinda neat, and a great view as he mentions, but the FROGS!!!! That's noise to take a nap to.
* lose
Thank you @@thekeystone7963
Great so glad honey
Holy cow, Jake! Glad you and your crew did the job safely with no injuries. You guys are real pros!
You can tell he’s a real pro when he says it’s “extremely dangerous” but doing it safely with a bucket truck is “just not worth it”.
So great to see you doing well. It’s the banter between the people you work with that really makes this channel, such as being with Randy. Great job sorting out that big mess.
The "Grunting of Randy"
Randy is my favorite!
Seems like a good job for heavy equipment like an excavator.
In this case I would seriously consider hiring an explosives expert, explosive cutting works on wood too and can be done from a safe distance.

@@WildAcresFarms Explosives will also work in places excavators can't (or aren't allowed to) reach.
Or dynamite 🧨🧨🧨
@@Smokey66s Dynamite is an explosive and not a very good one for wood.
Randy was taking some Monster Cuts with that little 2511 man great job
Thanks buddy
Randy's eagle impression is top tier
😆
Yeah a dying Eagle 🤣😂
I’m pretty sure he startled the Eagle. 😂
Yeah I couldn’t tell if I was hear Randy or the eagle!
@@GuiltyofTreeson 😂🤣😉
Jake, you took out the Gimli tree! From "The Two Towers" where Gimli was supporting a dead Warg, an Uruk-Hai, and another Warg that had fallen on him. Well done!
Really appreciate all the different camera views, especially the ground up. Puts into perspective just how tall those trees really are!
I'm so glad you made it through that one safely. Another successful day. Much love, God bless
Lots to enjoy. Im old, body a tad wrecked, but ive done enough of that kind of task to be right there. Thanks heaps for taking time to film, edit etc.

8:25 holy crap I laughed so hard at that!! Randy's face, the pose, the look around to find Jake, the "yeah?!" Mid face cut was so awesome 😂😂

Every time I watch your video, I always think "you guys are not paid enough." Fantastic work, well done.

And also May He Rest In Peace. Great team work to all of you. May God Bless and protect You all, in all of your future endeavors.❤PEACE.
This video was so good I had to watch it twice!! Great work guys! Be safe!
Love me some Tree Ninja's, could watch and listen to this all day 😊❤
The eagle and Randy in the tree reminded me of Almost Heroes! Chris Farley & Matthew Perry
BADASS JOB TREE BUDDIES!!! OUTSTANDING. Stay safe bud, much love.-Chainsaw chainsaw
Guilty of Randy 🤣 RIP JED Good to hear more about his untimely passing.
How did he die

@BigBlackTruckDave that for the reply. I almost lost my life the same way. Stay safe out there boys
That JCS 261 is something else. Love those little guys. Rad work as always.
Extremely difficult job. You have great experience and a great team.
Great video, wish you and Randy worked together on every job.
Was hoping for a Tube Salad reunion. Great job Jake and fellas!
Judge a man by the company he keeps. Your friend loved you too. I knew you would not leave that mess for the next guy. We love you young man.
Loved the Q&A. Nice to see Tim’s game really cooking now.
Man that was amazing. You guys work well together and mitigate danger as much as possible.
It would have been cool to see a time lapse of the whole project because it was hard to perceive all of those crazy limbs and trees. Nice work guys!
สวัสดีจากไทย ไม่ได้เห็นคุณใช้ srtมานานแล้ว ในการเข้าถึง มันเป็นการเข้าถึงที่คราสสิคและสวยงามมาก ฉันชอบวิธีเข้าถึงนี้ ทีมงานที่เฮฮา และ วีดีโอ ที่ดีเช่นเคย❤
that little top saw that Randy is running punches well above it's weight! It's a bewdy of a saw!
Nice job guys! I had a huge widow-maker snag from a large cottonwood which snapped off about 40+feet up. I decided it wasn't worth my health to attack it.

Those chainsaws running together sound like Gregorian chant crazy.
R.I.P JED
That was one hell of a job! Nicely done everyone!
Definitely got the spirit of Jedd with you seeing that Bald Eagle and the similar circumstances. Work safe Jake and Randy!!
Stoked Randy was there you can tell that tree was emotional because of Jed!much love!
Wow! What a job, that tangled multispecies mess was nerve wracking to watch.
You’re the man Jake! Randy is awesome too. If I had a better back I would like to help you out and learn at the same time.
Thanks for keepin your wits about ya on this one.
First of all 8:24 seeing Randys reaction, was hilarious!
Second, this squad could do some serious damage together 😎

When i first saw your channel i didn't realize how good you and your crew actually are. Keep it up brother yall were born for this
Good job guys!
That mess had tractor pull written all over it. I massively appreciate how methodical you are. It teaches me to plan much more than I normally do

Jake, I do believe today’s the day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🎂🎉❤
Fantastic job, Gentlemen!! Jacob, Randy, Kevin and Sandra!
This was scary to watch, but it helped knowing these guys are serious pros.
Protect Randy at all costs.. dude belongs in a National Geographic magazine
Dude! Those trees are so mad at you guys! But Tree Beard undetstands.
Wow, that was a crazy job! There were multiple points in this job that would tripped my "oh hell no... not doing that" trigger. Salute to you you guys with your skill and bravery!
Man you guys did that about as safe as possible in a totally sketchy scenario. Bravo!
Great video! Nail-biting on my end!❤❤❤

Wow what a mess, you got through with No injuries, huge mess, THANKS FOR INVITING US ALONG ON YOUR JOURNEIES...( * _ - )
I watched every minute of this job. First time I ever saw you totally concerned about the danger of a job. Great job and you were safety first.
In a situation like that where it is extremely dangerous, could you use the Micro-Blaster that they use for mining and just blow the junctions apart so the hung up trees fall? Then you can down the remaining.
Reg Coates has a Video on blasting trees.
So glad no one got hurt! great Job. I think I would have wrapped some dynamite a round the upright and ran.🎉🎉🎉🎉😅

I really, really, really, really love you guys.

Great video!! Love that your got the band back together!! Have a great weekend and holiday!! I still can't decide who is humbler...you or Randy!!?? LOL
More videos Jake even if there short ones!
That was dangerous, and suspenseful. Phewf
Figured you were safe if you posted the video, but still said a prayer watching it! Hope you charged a lot for that one… nice work y’all👍
i like splash landings...😊
thats a real ground zero from 48:00 😂
Awesome job!!
You guys are awesome. 🌳
awesome work! Maybe a portable winch would come in handy sometimes. I just got myself PCW 5000. It really makes things safer 💪
A down tree is the safest fellas. Good job. RIP Jed ❤ this video for you.❤
Bham?! Jake you were in my backyard! Let me know when you're back on the west side and I swing by. Great episode, keep cuttin'!
i like it when you leave the audio of both go pros up when the saw is going and it sounds like an echo.
Dank video. Title not clickbait. Gnarly tree monster
Reminded me of playing Pick-Up-Sticks back in the 1950s when I was in my teens. 😊 🇨🇦
