I love his channel because he doesn't edit out mistakes. His saw gets stuck and he films himself freeing with another saw. Noone else shows that.
I agree, I think that’s why we all follow him and love him, his stuff is so raw and real, huh legit only started monetizing his videos like a couple months ago and that’s bc he broke one of the drones filming so he wanted to replace it, such a genuine guy
Yea agreed. I prefer seeing realness. Mainly because, if/when I go to do it, I’ll know how to handle it and what to expect.
Who is Noone?
@@Mr22Ram it was awhile ago when he smashed a camera by mistake
@@Mr22Ram This part amazes me. I'll gladly watch ads to support andrew, wish he had monetized even sooner
That stump is a perfect candidate for the new stump grinder attachment
Or just cut a star/asterisk in to it and let it rot, naturally.
@Pavlo Kasperskyi who won't?
This time next year that stump will have saplings growing out of it. Hickory stumps dont give up without a fight.
@Pavlo Kasperskyi looked like his dads place
I might, that excavator is at my castle.
I thought for sure that tree was going to kick back and take out that shed wall!
Hinge cutting usually prevents that
Because he left so much hinge wood it easily could have. Very dangerous. So much easier to just use the forks to get a cable or rope around mid way and setup a snatch block in the direction he wanted it to fall.
@@POLOLOUS3pulled many red oaks by using a snatch block and running rope back to a come along attached to the base of tree I am cutting. Usually like to attach to nearby tree, either let me tension as I cut. Even small notch on this tree would of helped.
@@shade38211 I'm not sure he was aware of how far the rot went into the tree so cutting into it could have just dropped the tree

Oof. Good save, Andrew. Anytine you're taking down a tree close to a structure like that, wrap the trunk snugly with a log chain about 24" above the back cut. This keeps the trunk together and helps prevent it from "barber chairing" and hinging into the structure.
To the devil,,,,,,,great FYI!!!!!!!!! Now you made me!!!!!!!!!! as smart as you,,,,,,,thank you junkman do
Do you have a youtube video explaining that ? How to make the chain tight?
An Andrew Camarata video whilst having breakfast here in the UK-perfect! 👌
Those negative comments are a killer. I feel bad for you having to deal with everyone nitpicking your work. I know I don’t like that at all.
My son and I appreciate your videos. There isn’t a day when he doesn’t ask to watch ‘tractor videos’. His favorite is ‘when he is putting on tracks’. He also asks where the dog is if one of tour labs isn’t around in the video.
Great work and enjoy yourself
I sure I'm not the only one who really gets a kick out of watching this young man "do his thing" and doing it in his own way too.
Don't understand how there are any dislikes on these videos. This guy is a super smart and capable guy
andrew is capable in many areas. but he has made a point of not learning basic arborist skills. everyone has been telling him and he's actively refusing to learn the basics.
Nice job and Levi didn't have to travel to far from home to do his lab inspection.The creek at the back looks so different to when the beavers had it all dammed up as well ,Cheers from down under.
Andrew will have to have a Lab Report after each Levi inspection.
Much respect for your honesty. Even showing your saw needing freeing after being stuck. You also get trees falling the wrong way.
Great job.
Your video today is so much more crisp,color pops out really well now with the new editing software. Your videos are the highest quality for many reasons and now you can add cinematography to that list.
Andrew has all the toys he needs,when a machine is not strong enough ,he goes and get a bigger one,when his saw is not big enough,he goes and get a bigger one,nothing stops this guy,got to love him,LOL.
Love me a middle of the night Andrew drop!
Nah m8, its 8 A.M.
3am here
08:00 here
It’s morning for him
8 in the morning in Germany
Andrew I was afraid that barber chair was going to hit the back of the shed. Good job you got some good cook wood too.
Good to see that Levi is still around.
@@jeffg3042 Yeah, he obviously hurts. He should be put asleep... Sad, but that would be the best for him. 😌
He dead now.
your videos have saved me on so many hard days andrew. Thank you for taking me some place new and teaching me valuable tools to increase the quality of my life. Thank you my friend
THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I know of someone who did this and the tree went sideways, started falling on one fork, flipped the machine, he was thrown out and the machine rolled on him. He is no longer alive to cut another tree
Got to move out of the way.
you gotta know how to ride a 3 wheeler, then you can do anything.
Rip to that poor guy.
Seeing your old dog really gets to me. I built log houses in Montana, then Alaska mostly, and always had a big shepherd mix (2 of them) that went everywhere with me. They were like family, for sure. Great workmates.
Damnit Andrew, you had me seriously concerned for your safety! A hanger and it was wanting to barber chair on you! I'm glad it worked out!
watching in progress. You should put a kickback stop shelf in the tree cut to keep it from getting hung and pushing back into your shed...but it turned out just fine anyway!
"That's not what I want, right there." There's the T-shirt.
I’m totally like this guy. Just get it done! If you have the equipment and stuff, just do it. Yes I understand that there are proper ways but if you can bypass that and get the job done safely, mission accomplished!
That made me think of the 'Pale Rider' scene ...'There's nothing like a nice piece of Hickory'...
Clint Eastwood.
ROFFL.......... yup.
Andrew, that skid loader and telehandler have been some of your best equipment purchases that you have made, all the best to you and your future.
So sad to see Levi having so much trouble walking.
I've been watching a bunch of these videos seeing Cody get big and Levi getting older, thinking about how Andrew might highlight Levi's life when he's no longer with us. So weird feeling so attached to a dog i've really never met before ya know?
@@84wister that was really well said and beautiful. I hope we do get a remembrance video of him.
There is a drug called Adequan which can really help with old joints. Used it on my dog when she had issues with her joints.
@@ckm-mkc How is she now?
CBD works wonders on old dogs, i saw a 14 yr old lab going from barely able to go up stair to running around with a big smile on his face
10:50 Yes Sir! The ground rule for all lumberjacks "always bring a spare chainsaw with you" 👍😉 I do but today the darned old Partner / pulan / whatever didn't start when the flaming Husqvarna 550 got stuck 6 feet up in a branch of a big beech, had to use the front loader, securing the 550 onto the beech with a rope so it wouldn't kill itself once the branch let loose. The joy of forestry. Thanks for the video 👍
When those trees start splintering like that at the bottom I get reallllll nervous.
Whenever I see a tree do that all I can think is that its a barber chair waiting to happen.
Wasn't cut up enough before pushing too hard
@@travisteeter5072 I didn’t cut it very much because I thought it was all the way Hallow
@@AndrewCamarata when you think tree is rotten hollow spear it with the saw through the middle first. That will tell you whats going on inside the trunk by the color of sawdust coming out. Great job anyway.
@@AndrewCamarata yea ,there was an unknown factor there for sure
A bit tricky to get it to fall, but no damage to the shed and nice dry and sunny working weather
good Job Andrew and this will be another great and productive year, stay safe!
Surely your guardian angle has to have a huge hernia from watching over you Andrew.
Yeah, who needs guardian angels when you got a guardian angle grinder!
So many things to let loose and smack your head.
I get nervous in my storage unit! 🤕
He has an obtuse angle
Surely your guardian angel has to have a huge hernia from watching over you, Andrew Camarata.
I have watched most of your videos. You have inspired me to start my own channel. It’s been slow moving but I am enjoying the journey. Thank you very much.
Just finished 3 hours of the snow mobile video... it looks like I’m still going.
And i love BBQ PIT BOYS, the food is....😋
It’s like a relay, for you as you just finished the 3 hour vid and right when you finish, Andrews got another video lined up for us
I thought I'd skip that one as I'm more into the work, not the play. But is it worth the watch?
@@IvelLeCog yeah there’s work in the video too, Andrew demonstrates how to repair his brand new snow mobile after some destructive testing with a picnic table while Cody trains for a marathon. I’d recommend 2 six packs and a snacks.
Oh no my dude, you gotta break that one up into pieces!
It still had a lot of holding wood but you did the right thing by getting it out of there. You had me on the edge of my seat a couple of times. Good job!
Imagine 15 16 years ago saying I'm going to watch a video of a guy knocking a tree down, and now look👍
What happened 15 or 16 years ago?
Ain't it a bitch.....feel same way......but andrew is a badass and better than HBO
Your not alone LoL
@@AndyMcBlane for you or for me
16 years ago it would've taken me an hour to d/l 5 mins of video.
Andrew, thank you for the "Alright Let's Get To Work" t-shirt and the "I'm On This Job Here Today" coffee mug. Came in the mail yesterday.
Glad to hear that, enjoy.
Hope he adds some ball caps to his store at some point.
As much as I love Andrew's videos, I learn much more by reading the comments about how the job SHOULD be handled. And reminds me: There are bold loggers and old loggers, but no bold old loggers.
I did it fine.
After working all day, I come here to watch Andrew work. Perfect wat to relax
Poor Levi ... he's a couch dog now. But still likes to inspect.
It'll be a sad day when Levi passes. I feel like he's one of my own.
he seemed fine in his 13th birthday video in summer 2019, what happened?
@@rustblade5021 Age. Big dogs like Labrador Retrievers live from 11 to 14 years. I had one that looked very much like Levi. He died at 14 years.
@@rustblade5021 looks like just old age. when you compare him to cody he acts like a grandpa
He should be fine, he only just got a new battery & starter motor.
Good to see Levi, we just had to put our black lab down last week, he couldn't walk. Enjoy what time you have with him!
I think I’ve watched too many buckin billy ray smith videos cause when you made your initial cut I knew you were going to have problems trying to push it over with a boom😂
Well done Andy, another one under the belt what's on the agenda for next week widening the pond for water skiing or ice skating.
Thanks Buddy.
Nice to see your dashboard radio installer tool can also be used to cut down trees!👍
Who knew that those things could cut wood *AND* Mopar plastic!!!
I love that radio install one of his best videos it crack’s me up.
That was touchy there. You kept your cool anyway. Bravo Andrew.
Wow you comment a lot
this guy is really making me want to look for a used bobcat so I can do yardwork!
...or to act as ballast for your telehandler. Either one works.
The sound of that tree falling was a music to my ear. Glad it didn't fall on your sheds! 👌🏻
It’s nice having all that equipment around to keep your property maintained. He should start his own business and call it Camarata Property Maintenance. He could make a killing
Lol!
Then put on you tube 😁
Thanks for sharing this with us Andrew.
Hearing what a tree is doing when bringing it down is almost as important as doing it safely since it will let you know when it's going. It's almost talking to you and listening often lets you know when to move and leaving the saw behind at times is better when getting out of its way since it can get in the way of a quick exit. Nice to see Andrew taking the time to regrade the ground afterwards and Levi being along as always was a delight too.
Great job Andrew... although it was a bit touch and go there for a bit.... glad you had the weight of the skid steer to help you hold down the telehandler
I knew everything was fine when I saw the inspector smiling at the end of the video, especially when his assistant was playing in the water.
Andrew, in all the videos I have been watching over these years, you have absolutely convinced me of the value of 'small machines' and how they can help people every day, do important things ))
That telehandler. Best tool ever!!!
Everybody wants the telehandler on site .. great machines..
We call it “Gods gift to builders”
that cracking popping sound was so gratifying. well worth the watch.
Keep up the good work here on TH-cam, ur the only one i watch the whole videos on.👋
Great Job and right decision to remove it when you did.. was Great to see Sir Levi, checking it out and just wanting to be with you again..Such a Loyal companion..
Your third cut should be a little higher than the wedge cut. That will enable the tree to hinge and fall in the right direction. 👍🏼👍🏼
And the hinge should be 2-3 inches at most, and would have been good to put pressure on the tree before the third cut. Easy to be critical from the comfort of our desks, though
Nice work! Very quick! I'm sure it's nice having machines for tree work!
I've never seen someone take down a tree with radio installation tools before...but now I have.🤣
Thanks for the Lab inspection, also i see a widdow maker in the background over where Cody hangs out. Good luck.
Night time videos for those of us who have difficulty sleeping 😷
Andrew, I enjoy your videos and your commentary... Your editing is second to none...
Going sideways on those forks and flipping the telehandler sideways (massive leverage at that length) seemed like a distinct possibilty!
Clicked on the video to see the telehandler. Got to also see the skid steer and dozer. Great video.

When you started pushing the telehandler with the skid steer I laughed pretty good. I was picturing 5 and 6 vehicles stacked up all pushing each other to push the tree
I think he was using it as a counterweight.
*2:00 in the morning *: Boom! it’s Andrew time!
I don't know if was already mentioned in one of the 1200+ comments, but your video work/editing was fantastic! All the shots, angles, even drone! Wow. Like a commercial production IMO. I wish my drone had a lil mic in it just to playback the prop whir sounds! You have 2x more equipment then out industrial rental center! Dayum!
Oh boy I really thought that tree was going to catch the forks and flip the machine over
Cheers Andrew , i was about to complain about the lack of the Canine crew and they turned up right at the end YEAHH !!! keep safe
Buckin would weep watching your skills with a saw
That tells handler is such a great design. I really like the way they made the whole mast move forward and back on the chaise.
My work night just got better !
Shag bark hickory puts out a real nice flower in the springtime. Beautiful trees.
10:52 one chainsaw stop cutting halfway through a branch? Np just grab another one. 😂😂😂
How did you know I was gonna be awake at three in the morning when this video came out. Thanks for putting out so many video's lately. God bless.
All right, this tree just fell over for no reason at all.... :-)
Dammit! beat me to it!
That tree was on it’s way out ! Good thing Andrew took it down before it fell on one of the sheds ! Better safe than sorry !
That CL35 sure was a good buy. Still works like the day you bought it.👍
For a minute their a thought it was going to kick back of the stump and go straight through the shed andrew
Андрей , наконец-то дождался видео с валкой деревьев. Спасибо.
You shouldn't push the tree bitwin the forks, if the tree fell to the side it could flip over the machine. Nice vid. BDW
I was waiting for the BarberChair...That was a LOT of pressure on a leaner...
Nice vid as always...
I don’t think I have ever seen this part of the property
That may be his parents other property.
Have big boy toys, will play! Thanks Andrew for another great video.
Dang ,,How much equipment you bring over there for that tree ? ;-)
Thought the same thing but the way he talks that piece of property is in his family. Could it be on his parent's land?
Andrew: Yes.
LOL!
I been watching you for years I have watched all for videos I think some more than onces and you still amazing to me as to what you can do
thanks for making them
You almost made one of those timber cutting disaster TH-cams!
Your adventures are awesome , great camera work , excitement and the end you leave a nice area .
Careful boss, if you throw a 20k rachet stap above the cut of a tree that you think might barber chair, you've got more control of the tree and it might just save your life one day
You really got the cavalry out to do this job !!! Absolutely awesome !!
I gotta say, buying that telehandler was such a good deal for you. Damn I'm actually jealous haha.
Nice job Andrew! As always, it helps to have the right toys/tools! 👍🏼
Por aquí, se le hace un pequeño corte en "V" abajo del tronco, para darle una dirección a la caída...
Así también se evita el chicoteo al desgajarse...

He escrito en castellano, en muchls otros canales gringos, y el dueño me ha contestado en castellano... Usan traductores automáticos, vio..?
Andrew.. You have really learned how to tell a good story. The camera work on this one was insane! Between your GoPro and your drone and having to not knock over the shed and all the operating, you had to do. Then grabbing that skid steer to hold the back weight of the telehandler. That has to add so much work to what you already do. And your editing is top-notch. Great job.... oh, and that GoPro.... fell like an amateur.
Thank you.
You got lucky Andrew, that could have gone way south! That birds mouth cut was way too small. Great vid though!
Glad to see you're still doing okay Andrew taking care of them puppies

If you think, your dead..
Let me just say... amazing camerawork Andrew! Really nicely done :)
The relief cut should be higher than the wedge cut.
That way both can cut into the tree as far as you want without worrying about the two meeting in the middle.
You are really generous in sharing your knowledge on how to fix stuff. I've sent a bunch of people to your channel for this reason. Homesteaders in Idaho (TH-cam Channel Red Poppy Ranch) just bought a Gehl... and I've never heard you talk about that heavy equipment company. Anyway, they've been plagued by a problem they can't seem to figure out. They are doing all the minor stuff it could be... but after running 20 minutes or so when it heats up the right side tracks freeze up. I'm hoping you could take a look at their videos where they are trying to troubleshoot the problem and give your advice. It's incredible that good people from NY can help a few in Idaho on this TH-cam thing.... I hope and humbly request you give it a shot.
I was hoping he would remove the stump with the new stump removing equipment from the last video
Man..i love that track skidsteer with a grapple. So useful for working in the woods.
