Great but great great job. It's scary to see how that tree had almost no bark and some branches were really rotten. It must have been dead for many years
Add this to my list of jobs I wouldn’t do even if you paid me a zillion dollars. Skyscraper window washer, crane operator, tall ship sail letter-outer, transmission tower technician. Literally any job that’s more than six feet off the ground, I’m out. Huge respect to these guys.
As clean as they come. It’s good to see the planning behind it all. Definitely at the top of your game and it’s good to see and learn from. Like a graceful Ninja in the trees 💯
Nevermind the what if or should would could 😂🤣 this dude is onnn!! He went home to his family that's the main thing but anything can happen aye boys... tuff!! solid work bro💪🏾 from aotearoa n.z
Good vid. How is it that you determine if a dead tree will hold your weight and not collapse? It looks like the safety line holding the climber is the top of the tree. If the tree gave way it appears the climber is sol.
you can definitely see and feel when the tree is too dangerous to climb, and and know when your pushing the limits. this tree although very dead, still had good structural integrity close to the trunk and main forks. only the ends of the branches were getting rotten and brittle.
I’ve climbed and taken down hundreds of trees, big ones, dying ones, some dead ones, but dead like that spooks me. Maybe those “gum “ trees stay strong.. ? Great work.
We just bought one of those giant slingshot things at the golf course I work at. It works so much better than swinging a bag in a circle and hoping you let go at the right time to get it through the branches. Also, it works very well for sending golf balls across the pond.
Careful there; those teeter-totters are dangerous. I broke my nose on one when the kid on the down side suddenly jumped off and I came down fast and hit my nose on the board. Yeah, I remember it: 1946. Hell yes, it hurt and now I have a deviated septum. Tree work AND teeter-totters are both dangerous.
So good to see a video of people doing something properly and professionally. As for the views from the top of the tree, crikey, I felt sick, 4 feet is enough for me. Nice one you guys.
I climbed thousands of trees as part of my forestry job. Mensuration and folia sampling etc, we ALL hated climbing dead trees. You were really just guessing how structurally sound the tree was. We had trees as big as this one fall or break when we had people up them. It looked dangerous and it was. Pretty amazing effort.
You're more of an artistic engineer than anything else, angling those cuts just right so that the limbs fall precisely where you want them to. Great job!
This brings back memories. i did this for over 40 years. Tree removals were my specialty. It was always interesting determining where to make the pie cuts, which way the branch would go when lowering and the like. I am now 72 years old and those days are in the past, but it was great to watch you guys in action. Very professional.
*Wow, 40 years of tree removals? You must have been the Gandalf of the garden, always knowing where the branches would fall! Glad to see we’re still making those old-school tree-trim legends proud!*
Wow, I’ve never watched filming from that angle before! (Now I know what a birds eye view is really like) big respect to you boys for the careers you have chosen, I hope you realise how valuable you skills really are!
Que trabalho mais lindo, quanta adrenalina!!!......já assisti vários vídeos de pessoas cortando árvores, e em seguida, derrubando telhados de casas próximas ou amassando carros....😲😆 Meninos, esse lanchinho me deixou salivando 😍 pareceu delicioso! Parabéns pelo trabalho, pela equipe e simpatia 👏👏👏👏🍬🍬🍬
Very nice work Harry. I saw no real improvements to be made. Couple of potentials; At 6.00 minutes. Protect your uphill hinge as much as possible when swinging side lean especially on short grain stuff like gum. Straighter that back cut is the easier they fold over. I don’t reckon this tree maxed out your fuel capacity but I grew a valuable and silently rewarding habit of switching off after almost every cut. Saves heaps of fuel and a bit of noise and heat. AAA+++
Any chance I get to pull over and drop big tops I will. Why not, time is money and dead trees can never be trusted. Good job man, always love your videos!
Gotta do this kinda work with a wind speed of zero. Gotta be trim but in great shape as well. Under 40 helps too so you're livelihood duration is limited.
The climber ascends knowing the tree is absolutely dead before going up. Confidence is off the charts not to mention the absolute skill once you are up there. I have been skydiving but was more comfortable jumping out at 15,000 feet because of my chute. Up there you are all by yourself and nothing else.

I had a similarly huge dying gum removed from my backyard recently. I was going to go out for the day whilst they did it. Instead, I sat staring, spell bound by the aerial ballet, poetry in motion display by the crack team of tree surgeons. It is as much art as artifice and I take my hat off to them all!
I'm training to be an arborist and the one thing that really sketches me out is climbing a big dead tree like this. How can you be sure that it'll take your weight? Freaky!! Well done!!
Very nice video . Clearly a real pro ,cutting down trees. I myself like it when i cut trees in a ground level. Not high in the air. Greetings from Finland,!
Absolutely fascinating! Everyone in that neighborhood can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to these guys. I’m glad it’s you up that tree and not me though. Definitely not my racket! Bravo! 💪🏼😎👍🏼
" Wow" this takes some nerves to accomplish, and elevates arboriculture to another level.....Respect & Admiration to the team for their skills and video content.
I can’t watch this whole thing! ( not alone, anyways!) I have to go show it to my gorilla! You guys are NINJAS! 🎉 Greetings from Quebec Canada, land of spurs, and short trees.
This is scary😳 ..Richard Branson lookalike relying on life harness with ropes anchored relying on dead rotten tree stumps and branches so high up..you should at least use 2 lines to climb up as insurance!
It was a lot of fun watching this video. I started going to work in 1954 need us to say I’m not climbing anymore I stopped when I was 75 but what was interesting you use a static line when I start a claim and we use a Bowsens, not and we made our own saddle out of the rope, which was Manila with a double Bolin knot on the bite good job, Guy. There’s not many of us left who can work like that on a tree like that. Take care be safe.
You die if you: • screw up a critical knot; • mishandle your saw; • screw up a critical cut; • use a rope that's too worn; • use a harness that's too worn; • stand in the wrong place near the tree; • get your clothing tangled on a falling limb or log; • get your clothing tangled in the chipper; • rappel down the trunk poorly; • encounter lightning or high winds while up the tree; or • panic. Yeah, these guys deserve respect and large paychecks.
Very fine piece of work, but this video was nauseating!! I'll never get over my fear of heights. Question: Is the wood usable for projects from a dead tree like this? It seemed very sturdy.
I use to climb trees till my body fell apart now I own a small stump grinding business well my point is when you came down from that tree fast it reminded me when I did a crane job and I ran my rope through a pull on the crane and I was co.ing down full speed like you were except when I was coming down I had no friction to slow me down and about 15 feet before I was on the ground I burned my split tail and fell the rest of the way
That's what I was thinking aswell but I haven't cut down a tree yet alone 30 feet in the air. And it does make sense that they feel competent and safe in their work to not need to rig but as a lawncare worker like me you hate to see the ground damage
Great but great great job. It's scary to see how that tree had almost no bark and some branches were really rotten. It must have been dead for many years
Add this to my list of jobs I wouldn’t do even if you paid me a zillion dollars. Skyscraper window washer, crane operator, tall ship sail letter-outer, transmission tower technician. Literally any job that’s more than six feet off the ground, I’m out.
Huge respect to these guys.
Quite. I’d be worried about ending up six feet under the ground.
I'm with you Ima, no way would you get me up there
Fruit picking?
So you don't fancy being the chief International Space Stations' chief window washer ? Man I'd love that .....
yup
As clean as they come. It’s good to see the planning behind it all. Definitely at the top of your game and it’s good to see and learn from.
Like a graceful Ninja in the trees 💯
Nevermind the what if or should would could 😂🤣 this dude is onnn!! He went home to his family that's the main thing but anything can happen aye boys... tuff!! solid work bro💪🏾 from aotearoa n.z
a great job guys, I got vertigo just watching.. thanks for sharing and best wishes from NZ
Harry, you have “it” . Excellent job brother. I climbed for a little under 27 years. I started at age 15. I knew when it was time to stop.
That see- saw though. Not to mention that they managed to miss all of those trees at the bottom, excellent work guys!
Man, I did forestry for almost 30 years and I’ll tell you one thing you got balls of steel I’d never climb a dead tree!
Good vid. How is it that you determine if a dead tree will hold your weight and not collapse? It looks like the safety line holding the climber is the top of the tree. If the tree gave way it appears the climber is sol.

i agree, he needs to be arrested for attempted suicide for not using at least 2 lines to go up there!

I did it with my crossbow, one shot one kill😄
This guy has balls bigger than he really needs! Great job, great courage!
a verry smooth and accurate way of safely making a lot of firewood😎
Fantastic job! Most people are shocked when they find out I'm an electrician.
The accuracy is superb ❤
I don't know why I find this soo relaxing 😭
I am too old to climb trees now but hats off to you for doing it
Amazing! Well done. Great team work.
That makes great logs to burn ,,get a log burner and you're ok for a few winter,s 👍
I loved the monkey swings at the end!
I've just started being a Ground's man, No way I'd get up in the trees 😅 Lot's of balls for sure!
Despite all that you have been through, you still care... You are still HUMAN.. Love you dawg!
That climbing gear was originally invented by my Great Great Grandfather for firemen.
Careful there; those teeter-totters are dangerous. I broke my nose on one when the kid on the down side suddenly jumped off and I came down fast and hit my nose on the board. Yeah, I remember it: 1946. Hell yes, it hurt and now I have a deviated septum. Tree work AND teeter-totters are both dangerous.
U boys r crazy. Best tree monkeys I've ever seen.
That's quite the skill! Impressive!!
I’d love to know what type of tree that was that grew that tall
Mountain Ash, eucalyptus Regnans
What species of tree grows like that?
Dude hell yes!!!
I thought I could watch the whole thing but EEEEKKKKKK! Get me down! (Awesome bunch on tree ninjas!)
Awesome job!
Jeez imagine what that branch that split that stump would have done to a body , ugh
Awesome video brother
This video serves as a reminder that there’s levels to this game. Absolute professional at the top of his game. What a pleasure to view.
I actually was nervous watching it. Great job.
He can nearly stack em where they land.
Thor’s brother
100% agree!
Fully agree.
What kind of tree grow this high?
So good to see a video of people doing something properly and professionally. As for the views from the top of the tree, crikey, I felt sick, 4 feet is enough for me. Nice one you guys.
Brilliant, the customer waits till the tree is that fucked before getting someone it to climb it...
yep gotta love it 😩🙄
litterally 90% of the job is climbing dead trees lol wish ppl would call sooner 😓
They won't call until it's beyond all hope
They think it's easier to remove a dead tree or cheaper, it's a common thought process I've come across.
What amazing skills you have!!!!!! You have this down to a fine art!!!! Thanks for sharing this video ❤!
So much fun to watch these guys do a very precise but difficult job!
I have nothing but respect for a guy who's cutting down the tree he's hanging from.
I climbed thousands of trees as part of my forestry job. Mensuration and folia sampling etc, we ALL hated climbing dead trees. You were really just guessing how structurally sound the tree was. We had trees as big as this one fall or break when we had people up them.
It looked dangerous and it was. Pretty amazing effort.
You're more of an artistic engineer than anything else, angling those cuts just right so that the limbs fall precisely where you want them to. Great job!
Get a room.
Been watching Ninja Warrior....waiting for you to show up & beat mount madoriama👍
haha i wish 😁

I don't have anything critical to say from the safety of my couch! You gentlemen are very brave. Great work!!
Wow, I’ve never watched filming from that angle before! (Now I know what a birds eye view is really like) big respect to you boys for the careers you have chosen, I hope you realise how valuable you skills really are!
That was amazing to watch. I held my breath the whole time you were cutting the branches. never mind the height.
you guys are excellent.
Que trabalho mais lindo, quanta adrenalina!!!......já assisti vários vídeos de pessoas cortando árvores, e em seguida, derrubando telhados de casas próximas ou amassando carros....😲😆
Meninos, esse lanchinho me deixou salivando 😍 pareceu delicioso!
Parabéns pelo trabalho, pela equipe e simpatia 👏👏👏👏🍬🍬🍬
Very well done mate 👍 Same for advice-givers in the comments too....they certainly know how to talk these trees onto the ground
Thanks Reg!
Very nice work Harry. I saw no real improvements to be made. Couple of potentials;
At 6.00 minutes. Protect your uphill hinge as much as possible when swinging side lean especially on short grain stuff like gum. Straighter that back cut is the easier they fold over.
I don’t reckon this tree maxed out your fuel capacity but I grew a valuable and silently rewarding habit of switching off after almost every cut. Saves heaps of fuel and a bit of noise and heat.
AAA+++
6:00
Any chance I get to pull over and drop big tops I will. Why not, time is money and dead trees can never be trusted. Good job man, always love your videos!
Dude you got some raw skills. I enjoy the vids. Keep them coming.
Not many “ wood “ attempt this with a tree in this condition, I applaud you, 😎
You’re braver than me, there’s no way I’d trust that rotten old tree. Great job man!
Harry, you must have huge balls or crazy or just both!
That tree has been dead for 15 years,stupid or no fear or sence of it.Every tree is different.
Tree was dead but not rotten trunk was or appears to be solid dead wood
Gotta do this kinda work with a wind speed of zero. Gotta be trim but in great shape as well. Under 40 helps too so you're livelihood duration is limited.
The climber ascends knowing the tree is absolutely dead before going up. Confidence is off the charts not to mention the absolute skill once you are up there.

sure you can!

I use to be a faller 40years ago this bloke is bloody good good on ya mate
since then, tree cutting saw engines also improved with better high perfornance lighter 2 stroke engines and improved 2 cycle oil technology
🐱👍🏿
You are insane and insanely good!!! I was awed by that performance... Bravo!!!
Эти парни свою работу знают от и до. Дух захватывает от увиденного Я бы не смог
Tree man harry knows the importance of holding wood
Fair play piecing it out with zero rigging. Looked like a sketchy tree
Amazing job. I felt butterflies in my stomach when he was cutting the big trunk.
10:23... mes bras ont eu super mal. Toutes mes tendinites se sont réveillées.
Super travail. Bravo et merci pour la vidéo.
This is beyond my imagination! God bless you.
Esses homens são verdadeiros heróis fazendo um trabalho desse aí

Now the palms of my hands are all sweaty! But impressive how you put those logs and branches so neatly beside eachother. Well done!
What spikes you using ?
What lanyard you using ?
Nice job by the way
Gecko carbon, just rope with positioner
Well done guys. Showing the rest of the world how to do it properly. Bloody brilliant!
Very nice video . Clearly a real pro ,cutting down trees.

Good to see a professional who knows what he is doing. I've seen a lot of youtube videos, where cars and houses get destroyed.

an impressive tree it was. the wood is dry and still stong, listen to the sound when the big pieces fall! impressive work!
Biggest mountain ash I've ever laid eyes on. Well done, TCH! Surgical! Cheers.
Very fine piece of work, but this video was nauseating!! I'll never get over my fear of heights.
Question: Is the wood usable for projects from a dead tree like this? It seemed very sturdy.
This was just used for firewood
Howdy from Sacramento! You have great skill and a fun crew. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome, even from Victoria my home state. A job for the young and fearless. well done.
Even in my foolish youth I would have never attempted anything like this. Absolutely awsome.
Well that is something I could never do. Struggle just watching it. That takes nerves of steel.
Carrying a chainsaw up that high hanged by some ropes... I get dizzy only by watching.
Much respect from the UK. Brilliant work Sir.
Absolutely mind blowing. GREAT job Climber Harry.................and not too shabby on the Ninja bars either. 😉👍
BEEN AN ARBORIST FOR OVER 40 YEARS, TAKE CARE OF YOUR SHOULDERS, I NOW HAVE ROTATOR CUFF SYNDROME.
Excellent work!!! Very smooth. You should get a knee ascender.
you sir, are a bad ass. I'm 65, video made me wish I was 20 so I could apprentice with you. amazing professional!
Damn I'll be a little scared removing a tree that dead but we'll done 🙌🙌. Sick as descend as well
Рrofessionals 👍👍 💪💪
Awesome video & true professional climber. I dislike hights and watching this had me scared & feeling I was going to fall.
I use to climb trees till my body fell apart now I own a small stump grinding business well my point is when you came down from that tree fast it reminded me when I did a crane job and I ran my rope through a pull on the crane and I was co.ing down full speed like you were except when I was coming down I had no friction to slow me down and about 15 feet before I was on the ground I burned my split tail and fell the rest of the way
The last part of the recording shows that it is not tree climbing alone that makes those guys fit !!
Nice work, gotta love a good drop zone. looked solid enough to rig off but it saved a lot of time.
That's what I was thinking aswell but I haven't cut down a tree yet alone 30 feet in the air. And it does make sense that they feel competent and safe in their work to not need to rig but as a lawncare worker like me you hate to see the ground damage
A pro at work. Loved every second of it. ❤️
