@@metaspencer you do a great job, so you must be doing something right 👍 keep up these great vids and you have a good sense of humor that sneaks in. Good stuff
You've got me figured out man! I roll solo and get it done by hand ... love it that way and really enjoy it, but the scheduling and timing of everything can drive me nuts sometimes. Good to hear I'm not alone in keeping it simple!
@@metaspencer I'm doing it. I bought the equipment. I've got a year of living expenses saved up. I'm going to get the paper work together and take the leap.
So glad the algorithm got me here. I also work alone, but don’t quite have a solo rigging system set up. Do you have any videos that explain how you do it? I can get a general idea, but your system is gold man. Thanks for putting this out there!
Another solo tree dude! If you search my channel for "solo rigging" you should find some other vids on the system. I don't have a dedicated video on it yet but I should make one. The basics: a long enough line to go twice the distance (or more) to the ground, some slings, and either crotch friction or something like a figure 8 (or mini portawrap). With the end of the line secured in a nearby/accessible location you should be able to establish your loop too the sling. Small pieces until you get a very good handle on it! Definitely takes practice and can get dicey ... small pieces! hang in man
@@metaspencer thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I’ll be going through your videos for sure. Thanks again, I really appreciate it. And yes, low and slow. Be safe, take care.
wow that was a lot of work for one person.You did a get a job and that little 2511 did a great job. i have been thinking about getting one,if you open the muffler up a bit you can really enhance the power.... Excellent video Spencer stay safe stay healthy
@@metaspencer if you really want to make it great...monkeybeaver.com sells a 1/4 pitch conversion kit😳( probably available other places to).....140.00....
I enjoy watching you and the way you do this safely. I want to start my own tree business, but I don't want to find ground hands until I can guarantee them work. I can also contract out ground hands or family members on BIG jobs. This, in my opinion, is the best option until I can provide more work for employees. I know you don't like to do much coaching because of liability, but what size rope (length) do you use for rigging? It seems to be perfect at times.
That sounds pretty exciting man! Just nurture that business along and I bet you'll be amazed how good it gets. I know what you mean about hiring help: you've gotta have steady work for them, day-in and day-out ... that kind of a work flow can take some time to build up. I have a bunch of different rigging ropes for different situations: a huge 200'er that's 3/4" for pulling big trees. Then some 1/2" and thinner lines that are everywhere from 100' down to 25' ... I try not to go up with rope that's too long or short for the job, as it's just a pain to work with.
Nice work Spencer. I had one of those maples split and fall at my camp lawn last winter. 3 trunks fell and one is still standing. I started cutting it up this weekend. The chunks were 20-24” diameter. I tried splitting one with an 8 pound maul but, it just bounced off it so I decided to roll them to the lawn and bring the splitter to them. I’ve still got 30’ of trunk to go through. So I feel your pain and appreciate your cleanup.
Hey, we're competing for that MT100! I've been calling dealers for months and can't get one ... good to hear I'm not alone. Good to get it done solo :)
Hey man love the content and all that you do for your viewers! I was wondering what slings you use and where I can get them! Any info will be greatly appreciate it thanks brother
Thanks for checking out the videos. My slings are all DIY: tubular webbing and biners ... I use beefy steel biners for the bigger stuff. If you're gonna sew up a batch, just make sure you're using thread that's rated for climbing
Hi great video . How long did that take you to complete the octomaple from start to finish? Watching your others videos now and Love your ethos to working alone (Getting my pickup stickered up tomorrow)
That job was a while back so it's kind of hard to remember, but I think it took a day or two to take down and as long to clean up. The clean up is always the slow part. This week I removed two mature ash trees solo (back yard) and it took 4 full lonnnng days.
You take a lot of time but it's getting done safely I fell a box elder had a bad lean the wrong direction but with help of a 100 horse tractor tow rope & chain came down just where I needed it to
If you check out a few of my other videos with the solo rigging setup, you'll see that I do it differently in different situations. If you want a lot of control and order you can use a rescue 8 or small portawrap to control the lowering. But as you probably know a simple wrap can work on smaller stuff
I use what I call a solo rigging technique ... if you search TH-cam for "metaspencer solo rigging" you'll see a lot of my videos on it and several others. Basically it's all about creating a retrievable line for lowering. You need a secure tie in point and clear sense that the piece isn't gonna smash into you
thatsa good sized maple at least it wasnt toped before them trees get real fat ya aced it though kinda curiose how many loads did it take to get rid of the tree
Nice work. Your poor ground guy.. LOL. I am my own ground guy too. Luckily i have a tractor. Makes moving logs easy. Great videos man. Quit strokin that nubbun.. haha..
@@metaspencer . Its always fun to climb and cut stuff. Then u hotta deal with the mess usually. I end up chipping most of the stuff i cut. Got a small pto chipper on my tractor. Great for backyards and stuff. I would luv to have a dump trailer again tho. Especially a green one like that. I had a 1980 chevy that color..
I understand working alone I do it often. But would it not make sense to get a ground guy atleast on jobs that require a bunch of rigging?? Just seems like what u make extra isn't worth it if u can do a job quicker an safer. Not only would rigging be easier but that ground guy would be loading brush an u wouldn't have to come down. Just wondering your thoughts
Hey man -- I haven't explained too much about why I roll solo on the channel, so appreciate your question and perspective. I totally see what you mean: another person can make things faster, more efficient, sometimes even better (rigging with coordination vs. rigging alone), and even be fun. I've worked on a bunch of crews and teams over the years, and when the groups were good it was not only efficient but enjoyable and a great learning experience for everyone. Of course, there can be a flip side: that other person can put you at risk, work at half-pace, screw up, rip ya off, not show up at all, etc. While I occasionally get help on the ground (you can see it in a few of my videos) I prefer to roll solo because it's simple, challenging, super flexible, and most of all because I enjoy doing a lot of things single-handedly. I like the problem solving that goes into thinking through how to accomplish a job alone. I guess it's just a perspective or disposition or something like that. Sure I turn away some jobs because of it, but I get more than enough work with my lean operation. I'm not sure how the money would work out one way vs. another, but I don't think adding staff would be important to me financially. With all that said if the same person came along I'd totally consider reshaping the business, and there's a chance that our oldest son will join the biz at some point ... so I'm not vehemently and 100% determined to always roll solo. It's just how I do it at the moment ...
@@metaspencer that's makes sense like I said iv done jobs alone an get it done totally fine so I get were your coming from. There a few companies around my area who like talk crap cause I work alone and they have all the fancy toys an im just me lol but I like to say ya u guys might get alot more done in a day but whats your over head they have make 1200 before they start making any money. But I guess iv ben lucky with the couple guys I work with they all work hard an no how run ropes an saws so when I do work with them it normally works out in my favor for the amount that gets done. Sometime I get tired of dealing with brush as well lol so to have most of that part done by the time I hit the ground is worth every penny lol. Even lifting an moving wood can be alot easier with 2 guys I do firewood so inless I got logs an enough for the log truck to come out then I'm cuttingg it all up to firewood an wet wood can be heavy lol yeah there are ways to do it alone but my back thanks me when I 2 man those larger chunks lol. One day il I a mini or something like ditch witch kinda thing an a chipper then labor won't be so bad but for now it is what it is. Sometimes I also have a buddy who also own a tree company who has a good size chipper so il bring him on larger jobs I don't mind stacking an chopping brush actually iv got a good system down now lol I cut it so much it basically chipped lol but when he can eat all that brush in no time it worth it . Anyway stay safe thank u for posting
@@metaspencer it's never as good as it sounds lol . Lots of hard work just like u. I try to deligate stuff on bigger projects. Then there are days I'm just a contract climber as well even tho I don't make the same money as I can on my own work it's nice to just show up take the tree down an leave .we'll most the time I'll help on the ground if needed or if I knock it out quick im not one of those guys lol. I'm small time tho just trying to grow an have a little something before I can't do this work anymore cause let's be honest being a climber isn't a old man game. It beats up body an we put are self into dangerous positions everyday. Did you know someone dies every 3 days in the tree industry. That's a scary fact. I know personally iv climbed some trees that I thought were solid only to find a hollow spot in the main trunk after rigging off it all Day. My heart dropped an I got sick feeling come over me when I cut into that spar an saw it was hollow I never new. I was 60 ft above that spot taken good size chunks thinking oh it oak an solid ofcourse it can't the weight. Stay safe out there thanks for responding btw
Had to borrow bucket on a maple 🍁 to hurt right now.waz 13ft around at base and all spar work over a gas tank..sometimes for me at least being fraction of a man at moment to pay buddy few hundred to use bucket ..it's just so much faster .I just add it in the estimate..
@@metaspencer and a lot of bad ones gett9ng older but my body is way older .waz real bad sinner and partyer,when waz younger so tore my body up.and worked to hard .. thanks
Man, that question really gets me thinking. It could be possible, but it would be incredibly hard and even more sketchy in many spots. On the final trunk, for instance, not having spurs would mean running long slings for footing. I wouldn't attempt it
@@metaspencer Thanks Spencer. For now I'll have to concentrate more on pruning jobs. Next week my climbing kit will be fairly complete with the basics. I'll be starting low and slow climbing into my own trees. Hopefully I've got what it takes to learn MRS. Safe climbing brother.
Oh boy, now there's a story! the 194t got snagged in a big leaner and went dowwwwwwn to the ground. broke off the handle assembly and cracked a few other things. So yeah, echo was on backup that day. I replaced the stihl's handle assembly but it still has some kind of fuel leak I haven't sorted out. so yeah, that baby is still sitting on the bench awaiting some TLC
That short black rope is this one but I wouldn't recommend it: it's kind of stiff and definitely sketchy for life support. Anyway, here's the link: amzn.to/3aggUEL it's 12mm

How many trailer loads was this tree? I admire your talent. Do you have a panic person? If all hell breaks loose and you require assistance, NOW? Some who knows where you are working that can be there at a moments notice
I definitely underestimated the number of loads that one would take, and it's been a while, but I think it was 2 loads of brush and one of logs ... if memory serves. F'un climb tho! I had a few people I could call for help at that point ... great to have!
As long as it's not a main highway or state numbered road ..I just put out cones..sighn..but it's hard to clean up fast alone..I have put a rope on it and drugg it out before .useing a zero turn..was all I had.unless i rent a machine..most times its cheaper on those and faster to borrow or pay a bucket truck to come for about 500 to 700 bucks ..jist for those problem areas ..usualyy its less ..and just add in the estimate..the ckean up is the hardestpart anyways ..god bless. Stay safe.
What a shame to cut such a beautiful tree. Was it sick or dangerous in one way or another? (or I didn’t understand everything 🤔) It seems that this video has taken a tense turn at times 😁
It was one of those things where the house had been damaged by a large tree so the homeowners were trying to avoid future damage. yeah, always a bummer to see a good tree go
Trying train a helper at moment but going insane having another grown man in my truck slash office disturbing my quiet time.ya know ..I just dint understand how anyone cam live without a license,,I've been without truck before buy not a driver's license..as adult .young guys only worry about there girlfriend's and next paycheck .I try to explain them days are gone,just get a truck and a few tools,be nice to potentially clients selling your service and there's work EVERY WHERE.

When you are rigging that solo. Are you just passing the rope through the carabiner a couple times to act as a pulley/mechanical advantage system?
