I love watching these videos. If I were picking, do fast cuts of bulk cutting, and leave in some of your monologues like the one on this one with the limb. Those are fun to listen to.
Another option for tying onto a machine or the D ring on the front of your Vermeer: pass a long (4 or 5') bight of rope around or through whatever anchor point, then treat that bight as if it's the tail of the rope and just tie a bowline. "Bowline with a bight". No hardware or jammed knots and she'll come right out after loading. It's easiest to pull that bight through and then turn around with your back to the machine so you're not trying to tie it facing the opposite direction from what you're used to. Thanks as always for taking us along for the ride, friend. :-)
Great job buddy definitely the only thing I could say I would have done different when I'm pulling heavy leaning trees I always put an open face notch that's just me you did a great job God bless
That was my exact thought. The longer your hinge is intact, the more control you have. Also, I don’t see any reason or advantage in putting any tension on the tree before putting in your face cut. That’s just dangerous. Get just taught, cut your open face, start your back cut. In sketchy or larger trees, back yourself up with a wedge. At this point have the operator put a little tension on while you observe how it effects the top and the hinge. Cut up to a strong (just a little thicker than usual) hinge and signal the operator to gently pull her over.🌲🪓🤓
Great job! I love my ripsaw 2511! Not sure if it would have held on with that top being in the decline but sometimes a sizzwheel cut will help to swing a leaning top in your favor, it's almost always worth a try.
Hey sir. I have seen on other climbing videos that the back up knot for your climbing system with the bowlin should be more that an overhand knot. A figure 8 is common
Awesome arborist vlog. You use gas chainsaws a lot and are you up for a collaboration? A collaboration that share some knowledge of chainsaw using, maintenance or even repair. Hipa supplies parts for small engines including chainsaws and maybe we would work together to help more people in the community.
Why not use a bit of cheap insurance and climb above the sketch limb and sling it to the stem to catch the limb should it break? No offense, non-pro asking.
Never even attempted to look at, or clean up that gawd awful undercut at the 31:20 mark. It ain't easy to have that much bypass on a cut that small, but somehow you managed. The cut at 31:48 - 31:55 mark tells the story...
Situational dependent. The face cut on this stem didn't matter. People think notches have to be MINT PERFECT, but I'm here to show you they don't always have to be. Now, the tree I fell today did require a perfect notch and back cut. Super critical fall between two buildings. I'll post that video soon.
I have a lot of content piling up. I'll probably spend a little less time editing each video to get them published faster.

A real thought out job Tim. Very clean as well dude.
Thanks
Crazy lean.
Super nice work Tim.
Loving your descriptive vlogs, reminds me of August H.
Keep up the great work. Yeah the echo 2511 is an awesome saw.

That makes sense.
Enjoyed the video. Fun trees.....a little chancy.... always adds to the excitement.
“That works too.” Sometimes trees have a mind of their own! It gave me a laugh. 😊 🇨🇦
Thank you for taking me along with you. The job you do is good to watch. So pleased am not holding on to you and stop you working.
Enjoying the longer videos keep them coming
Great job buddy definitely the only thing I could say I would have done different when I'm pulling heavy leaning trees I always put an open face notch that's just me you did a great job God bless
yea, so there is as much travel as possible before the hinge breaks
@@peelnation most definitely

Good content and thanks for sharing your thinking about the different ways do take out the tops. Blessings to you.

Great content! Thanks!!
Great content as usual 👌
Nicely done
Nice to see you again bro 🌲
Good job.
What's the part number for the Stihl bar and chain and length? Why the Stihl bar? I'm running oregon 12" and 24" bars on my 2511T's.
Cows hitch is a nice non sinching knot

Or just Yosemite tie off and don’t need to back it up with any stopper
Would you recommend for hard wood removals?
Absolutely

Sure. We can talk about it. Look me up on Google.

That is a safe method. 👍 Many ways to skin a tree. I was confident it would hold on.
Nice 😊 🤠👌👌👌👍🪵🪓
Could have left a rope on the limb to keep it on the trunk just in case.
Don't get much worse then that fair play dude
PNW climbers when they have to climb a tree with bad angle and tie in sound cute complaining 😅😂
