Very true, you need to work on your cutting positioning. You have been there before and the same thing almost happened again. That is one of points I talk over and over with the new employees. Good job man, learn from your old videos , it’s really hard to see someone getting hurt when you can prevent it
I’ve studied and enjoyed every video you’ve done. But I have a request for a video.. could you do one explaining notches. You do so many different ones and I want to know what makes you choose which one.
Taylor Shay experiment with different cuts in a clear wide open drop zone. That's how I learned. I normally do a single upwards cut from the bottom of the branch unless it's over 8 in and do a staggered top cut so it can snap of and fall flat. 80% of the time
The main one usually used is a Conventional notch (45 degrees down and then a bottom cut around 90 degrees), this notch is basically all you need but he also might use a V Notch (45 up, and 45 down) to get better direction of fall, and if hes cutting a dead tree he'll prbly use a Humboldt (45 degrees up and finishing cut 90 degrees)
I dont understand why he notches the lateral limbs ,makes bo sence to me and wastes time and fuel period . I've done them both ways and the notch makes no difference, unless you are side notching one to swing it to one side or the other . It is used to give the tree or limb room to travel as it falls and the hinge is used to guide the tree in its fall ,but lateral limbs that can be dropped straight down have no need for a notch . Just saying
Seeing those butts come flying back at you is really scary, my man. Nothing wrong with taking smaller pieces and butt tying them to protect yourself. We only get one life! Stay safe, love the vid as always
Not too shabs for a Human. You're getting better man. I see your fall and subsequent heal time you had to go through didn't stop you from honing your craft. Good on ya
I’m a lawn care guy and tree work is way out of my league but I am amazed by watching professional guys like yourself. It amazes me how you know exactly where the limb is going to go when you cut it. Really cool videos man. I have watched several already. Got yourself a new subscriber 👍🏻👍🏻
I've been enjoying watching the videos that you've been posting & I just need to say that people like you are artists. The way the you study the tree/trees & the way that you want them to go is is just fantastic, I look forward to seeing more videos and sitting in amazement on the way you tame what could be most dangerous thing you handle in your life. In many ways your job is more dangerous than trying to tame a lion as at least with a lion you can carry gun to help you but with your job your not so lucky. Keep up the great work & stay safe 👍👌
Great video. You got that stuck hinge off at 7:44 with little fuss, even though through the camera it looked like it was gonna swing back at you. I probably would have chickened out, ha ha.
Great video man! Its always cool to have a climber work well with the ground crew. No sense in making each others lives hard. Gotta love those dull silkys! Great rigging human! Keep up the hard work!
I am always amazed at how much control you have/keep on those huge limbs. There must be a good amount of setup time for each piece that gets roped down that we don't see.
I always said to the do people learning how to climb the best part of climbing is coming down and telling people you climb trees alright alright alright
Looking a lot more comfortable in the trees bud! Good job staying in it!! What setup are you using now? That looks really smooth decending and when you pull yourself up as well. Stay safe brother!!
I too have a Spiderjack3 and like you, the one feature I really like is the lockout button....on drt it isn't any different fighting tree contact friction to other mech devices and at times I find myself bouncing on my line to get rope to pay thro it.....other than that it is solidly built and they're guaranteed for 10 years, amazing.
Your saw mantainance vids are great could you please do one explaining the Stihl vapour lock issue, I've seen a number of diehard Stihl guys bad mouthing them.
Tieing those limbs off 10ft out and cutting at the union is sending them back at you like javelins dude, if you need to tie out at 10ft to clear a target, cut it at 10ft! (Or make sure the groundie lowers it until the limb is vertical and there is no more lateral pressure!)
Lumberjack Outdoors or double tie em. So they can't fly back ya. That's what I do. Go to the base of another tree or truck equipment anything big enough to hold it back
Yup if I cant afford the room to let it cast out Ill either take it in two pieces or notch it so its vertical before the hinge breaks off. No javlin stabbin my shit into the tree
Hopefully he will learn like the rest of us. He still has a lot of learning to do and hopefully he listens to everyone and won't be that guy. On every crew that knows it all and won't listen to any thing people say.
man I wish I had all the sweet gear you got. I'm still climbing on a Blake's hitch. Guess if I wasn't so cheap I could go buy some cool stuff like you.
Calvin Wilhite Jesus man, update ur technology it's freaking 2018 brother, there's so much great gear out there now. Sure the shit ain't cheap but the speed and efficiency it brings and the simplistic useability makes a word of difference on ur body all day. I watch the old guys and there 1900s tech and struggle all day and beat themselfs up all day for no reason. While I'm hanging there with my Gatorade bottle holder on my harness and while my boysen chair is flipped under my ass and I'm chilling taking in the beauty of the tree and veiws and laughing at dumb ground guys and the guy over there beating his self all day. Chilling, no pressure on my feet and my weight is off my harness so it ain't squeezing me. I love my 200$ boysen chair, so nice.
Oh man, as someone who mostly works in an office I have sat and watched so many of these videos that in my head I'm now figuring out the safest way to tackle each branch, not that I would ever need to. I'm even catching myself speaking to the guys (in my head) below 'let this one run, support the weight of this one.' Fascinating stuff :)
I hate when other service people think they can pull rank on you. That garbage guys time is no more valuable then yours, and he has no more authority on public roads than you. Good call on telling your grounds to keep an eye on you, not some asshat who thinks you should operate on his time.
Human yeah man those limbs can always be sketchy... but it can ALWAYS be avoided... put a tag line as far out on the limb as you can and get ground guy to pull it the way you want it too go..thats the best and safest way to do... only takes a few minutes to tie on another rope... just imagine if that limb came on the other side bro... itd be on top of your rope and would be pulling back on you... all that force of that limb swinging back... could kill us or if were lucky just break our back...just notching a limb to go a certain way doesnt ALWAYS work depending on type of wood and gravity, lean, etc... i just put a rope on it unless the limb has a hard lean on it... i had a limb come on me one time like it almost did you and trust me bro that shit hurt like a bitch cause all of the weigh was getti held back by ur lanyard so its pressure on ur back... luckily it was a small limb.. but yeah bro use a pull rope
but yeah bro just start putting a rope as far out as you can where ur comfortable so the ground guys can pull it the way u want to go... u dont gotta go allllllll the way to the tips... but atleast 65% out... 2/3.. same with pullin a tree over rope needs to be atleast 2/3 of way up
Just watched the video about Dan The Tree Guy then this one, I had a guy come to cut down an oak tree in tight quarters at my house, he came in with a boom truck that would not fit through the double gates into my back yard and insisted to take down part of my fence to get it in then he proceeds to just start cutting and letting stuff fall wherever, he used no ropes at all and smashed plants and smaller trees under the oak he dented the tops of wire panel fencing and destroyed landscaping I had to stop him and tell him not to finish the job as what was left of the tree was over my house and RV carport I was scared to death he was going to smash that stuff also and he had attitude with me. I envisioned someone like yourself with climbing gear and ropes but was not that lucky anyway just wanted to say kudos to you for trying to do things the right way keep up the good work!
I just had to imagine Dans tree cutting service at that site for a second haha, 2 obeese guys and one with a red mullet in a coloured track suit pulling on a rope, he standing on a leader, yelling around "ohh shit" and then mowing down every fence, electric line and roof in sight hahaha and then hopping in theyr cars and disappearing hahaha:`D Good job btw
You made me nervous on the one cut hinging away from the house when you were behind the but end. But it worked out. Haha. How did you like the spider jack?
Great video but it’s sorta sad... that looked like a red oak that may have stood another 150 years. I would have pushed for a good trimming at most. No going back now :( Anyway, still a treat to watch and thanks for posting!
Very cool! Wondering, would it be possible to video putting your rigging in the tree and tieing off the limbs you are trimming? Think that would be cool but don't know if it would be possible with ur work schedule on the job.. Thanks! Stay on your Square!
You know how you sit with a beer and watch TH-cam, watching this and that.... Then get recommended a guy cutting down a Tree. Awesome my friend, Please take care scary work. Scotland
So a son is starting out. His aunt laughed at his choice of profession. That would be the perfect job for him! He always has us on our last nerve. Just be trained, be relaxed to be safe.
Watching this makes me want to do this type of work. Like i always cut and bust wood for friends of mine and cut trees down and stuff but like it inspires me to want to do this
Daniel Lunsford I love rigging, from rope access on steel beams to tree work cause it's such a dynamic world, it's living and breathing and always different, no 2 trees r the same, rigging on steel beams u know everything is bomb proof and it's mostly semtrical, a tree is so wild and different yet so damn strong. Pine trees r about the only trees I'd say are pretty much identical, they r freaking natural growing ladders.
Knowing as little about your profession as I do, I love watching your videos and learning something from just about all of them. I had a question, though. If I was cutting this tree down, I imagine I would have trimmed the tree like you did, but I would probably cut the tree in half, just to make sure it didn't land on the house..Obviously, I am not a tree cutter, and you are pretty damn good. But I was just wondering, is there ever a scenario where you might do that?
I do tree removal as an amature, can you make a video explaining how to plan the take down when its in close quarters of houses etc. Just how to tie up and control limbs. Please bro
I used to do this work when I was in high school with my older brother. I was the ground guy, and he was the climber. It was very hard work. But I had so much fun and made great money.
Awesome man! I would love to do this but have no idea about any of the ropes. I run a ms461 ms261 and cut trees down but have to turn down all kinds of work because i turn down the trees around houses and tight places like this thats $ because i dont have climbing gear or the knowledge of tieing off the limbs so they go down slow and not hulk smash the she shit around the tree lol

Damn, I love watching pros work. It's dull...It's boring... it's predictable, and everyone goes home the their families, puts their feet up, and has a cold one. The friggin' American way...
Always cut towards your friend never cut towards your hand. You can get a new friend but not a new hand.
Jan Polley that's hilarious
ole matson Scouts 1958
Very true, you need to work on your cutting positioning. You have been there before and the same thing almost happened again. That is one of points I talk over and over with the new employees. Good job man, learn from your old videos , it’s really hard to see someone getting hurt when you can prevent it
towards your buddy, not your body. that's what I have always herd.
@Tom-Tom Tom skookum
As a crane operator I pretty much have nerves of steel. But, I get sweaty palms watching some of your videos. Great work! Be safe out there!
To The Top Crane I've always wanted to hang from a 220t crane ball doing tree work reached out over a house from the street into the back yard.
David Moore, I could make that happen. The crane on my channel has a max tip height of 330 feet.
To The Top Crane omg please swing me around I'd love it!
David Moore, you'd have to be in Missouri. Travel time is expensive with the crane. It's not exactly fast or fuel efficient. Lol
To The Top Crane guess u will have to let me come down then
I’ve studied and enjoyed every video you’ve done. But I have a request for a video.. could you do one explaining notches. You do so many different ones and I want to know what makes you choose which one.

Just Google on treeworker and nods
But it's very much personal preference
The main one usually used is a Conventional notch (45 degrees down and then a bottom cut around 90 degrees), this notch is basically all you need but he also might use a V Notch (45 up, and 45 down) to get better direction of fall, and if hes cutting a dead tree he'll prbly use a Humboldt (45 degrees up and finishing cut 90 degrees)

Ha Ha ha put the tree back up!
It was not recording!
😂
You are super talented! Great video, stay safe. God bless.
Seeing those butts come flying back at you is really scary, my man. Nothing wrong with taking smaller pieces and butt tying them to protect yourself. We only get one life! Stay safe, love the vid as always
Daniel Birkholz would be an awesome video tho
The first video I ever saw was the one with Dan The Tree Man. I was laughing so hard when He said “Fuck You Dan!” Subscribed immediately!
Once again, mesmerizing watching you work
Not too shabs for a Human. You're getting better man. I see your fall and subsequent heal time you had to go through didn't stop you from honing your craft. Good on ya
Thanks, couldn't wait to get back to it, I love it =)
Love the 395. I bought one in 2004 and its still in excellent shape. Great video.
Love the content! So cool watching you work in a first person view. Addicted.
I’m a lawn care guy and tree work is way out of my league but I am amazed by watching professional guys like yourself. It amazes me how you know exactly where the limb is going to go when you cut it. Really cool videos man. I have watched several already. Got yourself a new subscriber 👍🏻👍🏻
9:47 an inch is as good as a mile. Good job.
I used to see your trucks in Eureka and Pacific every once in a while. Thats a good company from what Ive heard.
The section at 9:50 was about as close as they come. A very fortunate landing. Good work sir!
I've been enjoying watching the videos that you've been posting & I just need to say that people like you are artists.

Excellent work Corey! That looked like a lot of fun.
Amazing how much this channel has grown in the past year. Keep up the good work human!!!
that was so WIZARD!😄 I don't think I could ever get up there and do that myself but it is so awesome to be able to go up there with you!!
Now that’s AAA service , Awesome job my friend .. I wouldn’t have done that job way to big for my experience but u really did a great job
Keep the videos coming! I watched all day yesturday and great work tree work is fun but im to afraid of heights hahah and thank you for your service
I wanna come work for y'all man wonderful job you guys do.
Why is this like ASMR to me? Must be the country boy inside me escaping.
I always said to the do people learning how to climb the best part of climbing is coming down and telling people you climb trees alright alright alright
If you want something done right you have to do it yourself or you can also hire this guy. 👍🏼
That little Stihl is a beast!
1:34 Always do an undercut or notch of some kind, that’s a great way to cut your rigging line
Love it man really enjoy watching you work
😂 0:31 he swung like tarzan
I want to let you know that I've been watching you for over 1 year and I watch your vids ASAP for when they come out.
Oliver Bolton the lawncare man same
Thanks =)
Looking a lot more comfortable in the trees bud! Good job staying in it!! What setup are you using now? That looks really smooth decending and when you pull yourself up as well. Stay safe brother!!
Very capable...great work.
You and the operator on the skid steer are talented!
You are it! Wow!
Really like watching!
Thanks for sharing!
I too have a Spiderjack3 and like you, the one feature I really like is the lockout button....on drt it isn't any different fighting tree contact friction to other mech devices and at times I find myself bouncing on my line to get rope to pay thro it.....other than that it is solidly built and they're guaranteed for 10 years, amazing.
6:00 Yeeeouch! Gotta love those new blades haha
Your saw mantainance vids are great could you please do one explaining the Stihl vapour lock issue, I've seen a number of diehard Stihl guys bad mouthing them.
I can why these men are paid so damn much. I would not be in a tree that high up to save my life
Damn. That's some serious strength and some big balls. I got two trees I want down lol
You have some mad skills bro.. Love to see an artist at work. Keep up the good work piece out bro.
Tieing those limbs off 10ft out and cutting at the union is sending them back at you like javelins dude, if you need to tie out at 10ft to clear a target, cut it at 10ft! (Or make sure the groundie lowers it until the limb is vertical and there is no more lateral pressure!)

Oh he will hes not a stupid man. We all slow down a bit eventually
Wow- seriously skilled and brave to lop the larger limbs. Job well done!
Man you have a good ground crew!! 👊👍👊
7:37 first time ever in one of your vids I've seen that made me say hmmm....
Stay safe man, awesome fucking cuts!
Liked this vid without seeing the whole thing , I already know it's quality. Keep up the good work, man.
Can you show the rig that the ground guys have in one of your videos? I’d like to see what they have set up on the ground.
I have respect for you man, this job isn't made for just anynody. 👍
man I wish I had all the sweet gear you got. I'm still climbing on a Blake's hitch. Guess if I wasn't so cheap I could go buy some cool stuff like you.
Calvin Wilhite Jesus man, update ur technology it's freaking 2018 brother, there's so much great gear out there now.

Always great videos. Love the channel. Do you think you could show some footage you you setting the rigging up for the branches?
Oh man, as someone who mostly works in an office I have sat and watched so many of these videos that in my head I'm now figuring out the safest way to tackle each branch, not that I would ever need to. I'm even catching myself speaking to the guys (in my head) below 'let this one run, support the weight of this one.' Fascinating stuff :)

His time must be pretty valuable, because he sat there for about 10 minutes bitching, LMAO
That's why I always keep an extra pair of big boy pants in the truck.
I enjoy watching your videos. I'm not sure why. I am a software developer by trade but I can't stop watching them. Thank you.
great job. Steve in western North Carolina. new subscriber
that spiderjack looks dope man... 8:25 had me worried thought it was about to come on ur side... that woulda hurt lol
Yeah, swinging limbs like that often has them come back though, so I just plan ahead and make sure I've room to gtfo!
Human yeah man those limbs can always be sketchy... but it can ALWAYS be avoided... put a tag line as far out on the limb as you can and get ground guy to pull it the way you want it too go..thats the best and safest way to do... only takes a few minutes to tie on another rope... just imagine if that limb came on the other side bro... itd be on top of your rope and would be pulling back on you... all that force of that limb swinging back... could kill us or if were lucky just break our back...just notching a limb to go a certain way doesnt ALWAYS work depending on type of wood and gravity, lean, etc... i just put a rope on it unless the limb has a hard lean on it... i had a limb come on me one time like it almost did you and trust me bro that shit hurt like a bitch cause all of the weigh was getti held back by ur lanyard so its pressure on ur back... luckily it was a small limb.. but yeah bro use a pull rope

I envisioned someone like yourself with climbing gear and ropes but was not that lucky anyway just wanted to say kudos to you for trying to do things the right way keep up the good work!
I never really learned how to climb in a tree with gear on and a saw but watching your videos makes me want to
Michael Lochner you can learn
Its awesome
It hurts with a broken leg though.
I just had to imagine Dans tree cutting service at that site for a second haha, 2 obeese guys and one with a red mullet in a coloured track suit pulling on a rope, he standing on a leader, yelling around "ohh shit" and then mowing down every fence, electric line and roof in sight hahaha and then hopping in theyr cars and disappearing hahaha:`D
Good job btw
You made me nervous on the one cut hinging away from the house when you were behind the but end. But it worked out. Haha. How did you like the spider jack?
Yep =) thinking I might like it more than the zig zag
*6:00* Is this where us followers paste a link to the video where you replaced that blade?
lol
Ya that thing was terrible... looking at ur kerf... who sharpened that thing lol or ran it into the dirt
th-cam.com/video/7CVKBIW89PE/w-d-xo.html
Here ya are. Jump to 3:40. This'll remind ya why it cut so easy
Human you sir should look into buying a pair of cut-proof gloves. They are incredible.
love the new climbing set up keep up ur good work and stay safe
Great video but it’s sorta sad... that looked like a red oak that may have stood another 150 years. I would have pushed for a good trimming at most. No going back now :(
Anyway, still a treat to watch and thanks for posting!
Very cool! Wondering, would it be possible to video putting your rigging in the tree and tieing off the limbs you are trimming? Think that would be cool but don't know if it would be possible with ur work schedule on the job.. Thanks! Stay on your Square!
Sometimes I wonder if these people are 💯 sane
You know how you sit with a beer and watch TH-cam, watching this and that.... Then get recommended a guy cutting down a Tree. Awesome my friend, Please take care scary work. Scotland
I just cut a 🌲 down yesterday and had to replace two of my neighbours roofs. Lol...I guess you shouldn't drink and operate a chainsaw.
So a son is starting out. His aunt laughed at his choice of profession. That would be the perfect job for him! He always has us on our last nerve. Just be trained, be relaxed to be safe.
Watching this makes me want to do this type of work. Like i always cut and bust wood for friends of mine and cut trees down and stuff but like it inspires me to want to do this
Daniel Lunsford I love rigging, from rope access on steel beams to tree work cause it's such a dynamic world, it's living and breathing and always different, no 2 trees r the same, rigging on steel beams u know everything is bomb proof and it's mostly semtrical, a tree is so wild and different yet so damn strong. Pine trees r about the only trees I'd say are pretty much identical, they r freaking natural growing ladders.
Totally different climbing gear than what we use at Townsend
Excellent video ..just started watching !
Probably subscribe..luv chainsaws /work etc
Take care buddy !!
Great video. Always widdle away. 🤣🤣
@7:47 dangerous. Be careful out there brother.
When I saw you hit yourself with the pruning saw, I had a flashback to when I hit my leg with my pruning saw. It was a bloody mess!
oh man at 7 minutes 50 seconds I thought for sure that joker was to going to swing back and hit you in the face.
I really enjoy your videos. I am just a gramma who digs chainsaws .☺
Thanks =)
I still have the scars from dang hand saw. They bother me more than a chain saw. Did mine on same knuckle
Like a boss buddy. Great job! 👍
Knowing as little about your profession as I do, I love watching your videos and learning something from just about all of them.
I had a question, though. If I was cutting this tree down, I imagine I would have trimmed the tree like you did, but I would probably cut the tree in half, just to make sure it didn't land on the house..Obviously, I am not a tree cutter, and you are pretty damn good. But I was just wondering, is there ever a scenario where you might do that?
I do tree removal as an amature, can you make a video explaining how to plan the take down when its in close quarters of houses etc. Just how to tie up and control limbs. Please bro
Don't do how to videos, not at all qualified or experienced enough
Great video. How much do you charge to cut down something that size. I understand if you don't like to talk prices online.
Nice work! Love watching your videos
You make it look easy! How about a list of your climbing gear?
Great 👍
I used to do this work when I was in high school with my older brother. I was the ground guy, and he was the climber. It was very hard work. But I had so much fun and made great money.
Awesome man! I would love to do this but have no idea about any of the ropes. I run a ms461 ms261 and cut trees down but have to turn down all kinds of work because i turn down the trees around houses and tight places like this thats $ because i dont have climbing gear or the knowledge of tieing off the limbs so they go down slow and not hulk smash the she shit around the tree lol
That’s cool you can just see the vibrations in the tree and ground when the main falls.
U are an awesome man , who does an awesome job .
Thanks =)
Trees: what are you doing to me
Human: cutting you
4:46 man they’ve fuckin Tarzan himself working this job

"Like a Glove"
That tall free falling branch was insane!
Holy shit man , almost at 50k ..right on
masterful. climbing with no fear and dropping logs on a dime.
Damn, I love watching pros work. It's dull...It's boring... it's predictable, and everyone goes home the their families, puts their feet up, and has a cold one. The friggin' American way...
do you guys chip all the logs, or will you sell the bigger logs to mills?
Great work Sir!
Beautiful oak. Was is sent out to be milled?
When you say ow right after that it looks like that small log that falls down is a rifle and it shoots out dirt
