I like the mix of falling and climbing that you have! I have learned a incredible amount from your videos because of all the different regions you are working! Thanks for the videos!
Love this channel and your educational banter
I enjoyed that.... all those little chunks, were perfect for firewood already!
I like the way you were falling the tops, butts towards the pull. Makes it way easier for ground people when they don't have to turn the tangled up tops in order to drag them towards the chipper.
I know you like felling but your climbing jobs are where you shine. More of those please.
A vertical speed line tied to the base of the tree is a good way to keep the logs from rolling down the hill and very low impact/shock load on the tree when it’s in bad shape.
that's what I was thinking
David Driver did a great video of this using the rings.
It was nice that you gave Johnathan credit for working hard on the hillside. Positive affirmation goes a long way to encouraging people.
I would totally cut cookies to get a tree down safely especially if I was working by myself
He was not working by himself.
I didn't say he was working by himself I said I would do that if I was working by myself which I do a lot
awesome job jake. i really like that frisbee technique! one thing i noticed when you explained the porta wrap was at 3:50 you bend the rope the wrong way. might want to be careful with that when showing someone new the orta wrap :)
😂that’s what I thought! 😂
Tree police!
@@wilhelmsteinert4733 it’s just a helpful tip…
@@treeman5970 your not in Canada with THOSE stump police. That’s the ones that go after contractors cutting on “crown” land. Socialist ya know.😮
@@treeman5970 I'm just trolling you! Happy Thanksgiving bud.
Bringing your helper on for this job, given past circumstances speaks well for your character. Awesome!
Nice. And nice to meet you briefly at TCI. The other good thing about the cookies is most could just be chipped quickly as they break on impact,and not deal with hauling logs.Especially with trees like that. Never thought of that. Love the videos.
Bro. 2:23 When you're running rope you need to keep the bulk of it in FRONT of you! Not behind you. That way, if a piece is too heavy or gets out of your control, the rope will not trip you up. I like to use a large Brute bucket to flake the rigging line into instead of the rope bag or on the ground. Quick and easy and less likely to pick up sticks that can jam in your hands.
rope behind is key to letting it run. Taking a 180degree bend around the hands adds unwanted friction. Behind and slightly to the side.
EDIT: this is when referring to using a controlled friction device as in the video.
If i were holding a pull line or side line holding a lean i would have the rope in front as these situations often result in large amounts of instantaneous pull through at a point i may just let go of the rope.
@@neild7971 Incorrect and unsafe. How does having the rope behind you aid in letting it run?
@@corywadedavis it avoids a tight turn around the hands at the change in direction.
As someone else said, a “cut counter” on this video would’ve been awesome. 😃
It's been over a year since 8 hours of chainsaw and look where you are now, congratulations, well deserved.
Thanks!
@@GuiltyofTreeson what chainsaw is that?
Interesting video with two man crew. I love your channel.❤
What you call ‘cookies’ would sell as garden stepping ‘stones’ here in UK Love watching the way you handle the cuts & drops so expertly - keeps me entertained for hours 🤗
I really love watching ur channel I guess I have wood in my blood😂😂I love to refinish furniture strip now to the bare wood the sand etc.and stain it I love to see the beautiful wood grain come out .I guess my daddy got me liking anything to do with wood he had my sister and me working in wood like boys when we were teen agers.
Rad stuff Jacob! Just a thought for the editing team. How about a cut counter tally on screen?? Maybe even broken down by saw as well??
Otherwise, great content!
From a former Timber faller, wildland firefighter and now living full time on my sailboat. Still hanging on to my 576xp auto tune!
Great video Jacob. Congrats on the new little one on the way.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who often explains how to do branch retentions. Great video as always thank you from France :D
Bless Nice video. Jonathan is a firefighter cause of the union sticker on his back window. Thanks 😊
Jake -just climbing in a $600 jacket, lol. Good stuff. Was such a pleasure meeting you at TCIA. See ya next year. Would love to buy you (and Gordie) lunch.
Love the video! Never heard of tree salad......now I have! Have a great Thanksgiving!!
Yeay, i get to share my fa48 tree phrase. That tree has alot of Twiggy branches to cut off!😆
You guys made small work of that tree. Good job Jake.
👍🏻😊 Love the tree cookies
Hey Man Congrats on your Third little one! Rad!
When everybody says about to do tree work it's all one guy just knocks a tree down and just leave the mess for the other people to clean up they don't realize how much there is two dropping a tree in they got to climb it that's another story they don't realize how hard it is it's more physical work to climb a tree and more stress you got to worry about a lot of different things you the people around you the houses the fences there's a lot hey you did a good job talk to you later you're doing a good job bud God bless you
Climbing is easy once you are experienced, yes it’s more stressful but dragging brush and moving wood is much more labor intensive. My groundies kill it day in and day out and they deserve just as much credit as us climbers.
They are both hard until you figure it out and have experience. Climbing has a lot more factors then just being physically hard which it is. But yeah ground guys are very important
Yea I dunno About ground work being safer. I spend about half my time doing either position and I've been hurt more doing ground work due to climbers not communicating. I've yet to hurt myself climbing...other than a bee attack but those assholes took over a squirrels nest and I thought I was gonna save some baby squirrels.
Can you reword this
@@Green-he6ht lol he just needs a few comma's and periods, I'm assuming English isn't his first language.
"Clean up your own tree!" I think that's brilliant!
I like the cookie idea. My coworkers likely would disagree. Lol But, there's multiple ways to skin a cat!
Cut ‘n go, slice ‘n scoot 😂
Great video Mr. Slash and Dash…Cookie Maker!
Love your how to portions of the videos. Your a great teacher.
I def like the 16” bars. Haven’t used a 20” but they seem to big. But we got different trees.
Thanks for another fun one. You had me scared a few times on that one. I had a top catch wind on me the other day and it does take everything you have to hold it and then send it..😅
So is there a proper way to top a tree? To prevent decay I mean.
Not in my experience. There is a saying at my work. If you are going to top a tree, do it at ground level.
Nice work home slice! Mountain Man Tree works.
You're a pro Jake you could drop them trees anywhere on that hillside ?? 🤔
Hi, one thing that I didn't understand is why you had to do the "cookies". Wasn't it easier to cut bigger wood pieces and the ground man to make them small? We saw that branches can be moved away from the fence(deck) so I don't think distance matters.
Thanks.
A guy like that is worth having on the job and teaching you know as well as I do they hard to come by
I have been talking to my local shop and I am stuck between 2 saws... Disregard what you own today. If you had to buy 1 large saw today and you had to choose between a 462 and 500i, which would you go with? I am leaning towards the 462 at this time. Price is only $200 different. Which would you buy?
can already tell it's gonna be a good video just by the intro
Great video Jacob! You and Johnathan work well together. I liked watching the cookies fly! Happy Thanksgiving to and your family!
I was wondering if you have ever used or seen a stalpen tree jack?
I have to say I love the cute name "Treeson" very well done!!!
I think a really cool shot would have been a time lapse POV trucking cookies in hyper speed
If I was your groundie I would’ve walked lol don’t know if I agree on the cookies but great video nonetheless! Keep it up up
I think speed line to the base of the tree would of been a better option
@39.12 you scared the fuck outa me, just incase there was kick back 😂😅😅
Awesome job brother
Enjoyed the video. Cutting small pieces can be fun and fairly easy. But it can be time consuming. Nothing like having a great ground man who knows his stuff (including how to handle a chainsaw).
Ok Jake, I have a question about a huge Fir tree that fell. You were cutting it up and then you were using the crane to pull up the huge chunks but they were getting wedged in. All I want to know is, if you cut it wide at the top and narrower at the bottom would the pieces still get wedged?
I love it when you work with Randy the Mandy or Ryan? The last video with Randy I didn't get the moustache shots like the first video you did with him. I know! Next summer he can go shirtless! Out of respect for your wife I won't ask you lol! I'm just kidding, I love all your videos, please keep up the good work. Congratulations on baby #3!
Whatever happened to McCulloch chainsaws?
I have forwarded your request to Randy 😂
I bought my MS880 march 2021, a wind storm took a 22" pine top out one nite. I cut 1" cookies out of the log, being able to run 4 1/2 tanks thru the new 880 that day. To this day, I'm constantly asked why I cut it like that...but I broke in a new saw on one log... :)
I was cutting up a 36" oak trunk and had to pie cut the cookies to be able to move the wood. Someone came by and wanted some of the wood and questioned how I was cutting them up until he tried to pick up a slice of wood...
@@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va whether I'm doing my trade as a commercial carpenter or side job with trees, we'll always will have the "arm chair experts"...
I purposely bought the 880 for a larger maple in the backyard, 5 foot at the cut line. I had to use the 880 with 36" bar to cut the trunk blocks in to 6ths just to dolly them off... the 22" pine was a "break in" bonus tree on the power head. :)
Look at the chips the husky was throwing. Niiiice
Would vertical speed lining of worked on this tree? I know the camera never does the tree justice.
STAY SAFE
Lol Slash and Dash.
There's one step more personally efficient than that. Give them a cardboard box with a saw a can of gas and oil and a rope in it and tell them to take their tree down while you run the GoPro.
(Good video Jake)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Keep up the good work.
you beat the game !! 👑
Impressed with that 200t, that's the JCS rebuild you did a couple videos on if I am not mistaken. You must be cooked after a days work like that. Hats off to you for the great content.
Do you prefer the rope runner pro or akimbo? And why?? Great video btw!
Most of those cookies would make great end tables. All the other stuff would be good for wood lol
Not once they dry. I've heard it's real hard to stabilize wood that way and keep it from self destructing.
@@mattfleming86 yeah, it's a butt load to dry these right for them not to crack from in to out. You would either need to moisturize it for it to not dry out too quick or submerge them for at least a month to get an even moisture level in all parts of it. All in all, it will take at least 2 months of work to make it right without feeling guilty for the poor sod who will potentionally grenade fist sized pieces with his tablesaw through his Shop because it splits everywhere internally...
@@lucyxchan6808 Yup. It takes a lot of work. Outside of using them as impromptu pavers I dont have a lot of luck
@@mattfleming86 what would be possible with less work but the right Equipment is letting it crack intentionally and fill the gaps with resin...but that still leaves hidden cracks that will come out with time...its tricky since the outer layers will dry way too fast to make anything feasible to preserve more than chunks of it...and if you are unlucky to have moon rings its only usable to make OSB out of it...
I remember Jacob said he cut a tree down for $800. Tree guys by me would charge at least $3k... Me needing 3-4 trees cut down... 😱
If those tree bits are cookies, does "the way the cookie crumbles" just mean a rotten tree?
I live nearby you and have a 461. I have been doing a lot of falling but would love to learn from you if you ever have some extra time.
Is that 3/8ths low pro chain or normal 3/8ths? It seems like all the low pro chain is semi chisel.
New subscriber here. My 1st foray into watching arborist on TH-cam is Reg Coates. From my ignorant knowledge of your craft... you appear to take more chances and make different cuts. Be safe and keep on posting videos.
Would be nice if you could set up a camera on the ground and film you working. it would give a good view of how you're doing the tree. and you could do some time lapse as the cut goes. Great video.
Poor ground guys lol
Everett oh … when you coming to whidbey 😅
39:12 - almost cut your arm, OMG 😱 be careful! Nice job👌
Awesome work
Stay safe
What do you do with the cookies 🍪 🤔 after you cut ✂️ them .
I do the cookies and salad too and ground guys get so pissed🤣
24:06 I call that, I wanna go home now cut 😂
An artist or crafts person can probably do something with the cookies 🍪
Only if you can kiln dry them... Otherwise they get moldy when trying to dry them outside.
best job in the world! well done
I always wondered why some trees were not cut down a cookie at a time. Looks easier to carry out in a wheel barrow etc.
Lots more work for the climber, that saw gets heavy after 30-40 cuts
Can also be rough on a chain.
Out of curiosity what does a job like that cost? Do you factor by the hour or by the complexity of the project?
Awesome video Jacob, I just purchased a rope runner pro, could you make a video on how your dial yours in with a new rope?
Close calls ohh how I count the ways lol
how long does your chain stay sharp for?
You seem like a really good dude in real life. Quite frankly you seem like a tree guy, the good ones because we all know there are some tree guys who aren't so good. Great climber also. I enjoy watching your content
bro is that wood that hard or is the saw a bit blunt? I had two such saws, always sharp, they cut acacia very well... until the other day he never cut a dry walnut because it's as hard as concrete :D
Impressive!
What about tying another rope uphill of the logs and controlling them that way so they don’t roll?
I like that technique, the swing to ground
Better than a vertical speedline sometimes
Nice cutting Jacob.
Skills bro. Jonothon great'
Someone could make a lot of coffee table tops out of those rounds. The parts that aren't completely rotten anyway.
Im interested in forestry and farming. And I wonder how much money can you make from a single lets say 30m spruce tree?
I have a hulzforma saw and if I get it working again, gonna give it eyes and stencil cookie monster on it. 🤣
i lived 20 years in Enumclaw!!!!!
Did you fix your rope runner or just get a new one? Mines been acting up slipping and the spring is wack.
Um, did u watch the video? 9:40
Maples are beautiful ... but, when they reach a certain size they get sickly
Cue "1 piece at a time" by Johnny Cash
As a new subscriber I have been hoping and waiting to hear the words "If I give you a price, just say yes and agree to it". I am not and would never be in this line of work. But I have read and believe that this is probably one of the most dangerous jobs of all. And then when you throw in the clean up after surviving the cut......whatever the price: it's cheap.
P.S. It wasn't until the end that I realized he left Eastside and is on his own. And the "no cleanup" is an interesting concept.
You are so fun to watch
What kind of rope are you using for rigging
Holy cookie bake sale! Thoughtful of you to flip butts out at the end for easier hauling, even if he shot you down first go around.
I just started the video. Cookie the whole tree huh. Wow. Hope you charged by the hour lol
How long did it take you for the whole removal?
Happy Thanksgiving!
It's time that you get your own Stihl MS 500I. I'm going to keep harassing you until you do. This is a commandment because as we all know, STIHL RUNS THE YARD. 😊👍🏿 #stihlpower
90 day warranties mean the company doesnt trust their product or the people who buy them
@@TheAcenightcreeper What exactly are you trying to say?????🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤔
@@patrickpoulard24 That they make great saws but are certainly not on the pedestal that some people put them on...
@@patrickpoulard24 im saying buy a brand that thinks their machines are going to last longer than 90 days…stihl is like a range rover, you never own it, you are simply borrowing it from the repair shop.
There is a reason echo has 5/1 warranties…
@@mattfleming86 Is there a company that makes better saws than Stihl????? I don't think so. STIHL RUNS THE YARD. End of story. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 #stihlpower
