    Super video guy. The cable/ phone lines in the beginning of the cutting are always a scramble to free up when the trees are allowed to grow willy nilly. I like it when your videos show you moving around in the tree, not just cutting - a la Travor Ahern's old videos. And you sure looked hot in the truck. Lots of guys have trouble with video bits and pieces shutting down on them 'cuz of the heat. Great comments at the end of the video about the couple running a tree service business. Stay healthy (and hydrated!). And keep up the good work (as Essential Craftsman says!). Cheers from W. Canada.

      Thanks, man! It does seem like data lines get the least amount of maintenance and are therefore always tangled up the worst. It seems like go pros just don't like extreme elements in either directions. I've missed out on filming some really cool winter jobs because of that. Summer ones too I now that I think about it 😅

    I did not watch the video yet but looking at the thumbnail it reminded me of a tree I just got done with. Power company topped it years ago, it grew out under and through the lines then extended out over another set of lines, there was 4 sets total I was trying not to hit, mix in a line of cedars, 2 sheds, 3 houses, 2 garages and a gas line. Made it happen but dang was that a slow moving process. Not to help speed anything up, I also could not fit my ram or dump trailer in the yard. Had to drag the haullotte and chipper around with the Tacoma.

    Good job fella any day you head home is a good day ! I’ve been in a lot of those wire trees I love them actually it’s a puzzle to figure out . Just from watching I know videos and pictures done do trees justice but you could probably used some span rigging for some of those tops and the limb over the neighbors power ? I have spanned with new ropers to make sure the stuff I cut goes away from me ! Lol stay safe

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus  ปีที่แล้ว

      You're right Eric, it was definitely a good day in that regard!
      I did ponder span rigging, but the tree was just so limited in the position of every spar. We also didn't have much to work with in the way of vertical room which we would have needed for span rigging. I do lobe a good span rig though. I've gotten stuff out of some awkward places with it!

  • @brandonswan9247
    @brandonswan9247 ปีที่แล้ว

    Right off the bat you were hand sawing branches caught up in the wires. What precautions do you have to take in that situation? I always run away from anything within 10 feet of wires.

    • @boomupengineering
      @boomupengineering ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I imagine all those low wires all bunched together are things like phone, internet, cable - stuff like that. Then the home service wires - at least they are low voltage and insulated. Still have to be careful but nothing like typical power lines that are 13.8kv or higher.

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, those were data (internet and cable) wires which are all low voltage. I think they are mostly in the 5v range, but can carry more depending on the scenario as I understand. I definitely try to stay 10ft or more away from uninsulated conductors and wires I can't identify. Secondary wires and house service lines typically have 230 volts in them and are insulated (though the insulation can be cracked when they get old). Primary lines can have 5,000 to 30,000 volts in them and transmission lines have 50,000 to 150,000 volts in them. In this case the primaries were on the other side of the street.

    • @brandonswan9247
      @brandonswan9247 ปีที่แล้ว

      @zaccheus how can you identify a data low voltage cable vs a power 240v or even higher voltage cable?

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @brandonswan9247 There are a bunch of different factors, I'd recommend pursuing some EHAP training to best learn about how to identify the various types of conductors.

      ​​@@zaccheusThe only dangerous part of hand sawing that limb was the fact you had to have your handsaw near the speed line sling strap where it might have gotten pinched when the limb fell, if you hadn't gotten it out of the way soon enough like you did. I do use a handsaw on small branches not worth starting a chainsaw for, and on things with precarious work positioning.
