- 5:50 for all you tourists
Should have sent the rope through the redirect from the other direction. As it was, the more it was pulled, the more the rope wrapped around and added friction, transferring the pull into the crotch instead of the limb being lowered. Would have done the opposite from the other direction.
Hey Human. I gotta say i watch a lot of tree vids and you are the only one that puts in the close calls, the miscues the everyday shit that most ppl edit out. Thanks for keeping it real.
Agreed! Also:Amen to that! The only reason that somebody would edit out any accidents or mishaps, is because they don't want anybody to know that they make mistakes. They don't wanna look bad...know what I mean? You brought up an excellent point there. Good catch!
dave moore; sorry Dave. I’ve been a climber approaching three decades now, and I typically don’t have as many close calls in a year as I’ve seen in this one vid. As in all things your brain is your greatest asset, and quoting Napoleon with this one, “the devil is is the details!” Be safe.
treeboi4life does good videos
Thank you for showing events such as the branch breaking and not doing what is expected! Alot of youtubers would cut such footage but it is nice to be able to learn from said events and use this knowledge in the field
,
Whenever I'm in doubt I remember what someone told me " climb high cut small" Thanks for posting the vid
You got that right! Too many major accidents in this field of work occur when somebody gets ahead of themselves. I've seen stuff like this happen, personally. My boss cut a tree limb from a good distance up from the ground one time. The result? He smashed a wooden walkway at the back of one of our apartments, simply because he got ahead of himself in the cut, miscalculated where it would fall...and ended up paying thousands of dollars replacing that walkway with a new one! We're, of course, talking what he had to pay out in rubbish removal, which was what I had to take care of, new materials, and a construction company to come build the new walkway for him! I agree with you fully! Watch your cuts, and if you're up high, definitely cut as small as you can!
Exactly ....I just climb higher and make it easier. Everyone has their limits but I'm built fir it, and with 37 years as a climber I understand trees and have seen it all. When I turned 50 years old I went through the AFF course at the local DZ .starting Skydiveing at 50 is unheard of but that's my new thing. We all have our limits, and I'm still searching for mine at 51. Y'all stay safe.
exactly
This is why I dont use vehicles or heavy machinery to do any pulling. You never really know how hard you are pulling.
Glad you are good.
Stay safe
Pull it tight and have a come a long with a porty on it to finish it off, especially a back leaner.
Barber chair one day, widow Maker the next. Count your blessings and take it slow.
Amen to that! Here one moment, and gone the next!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I appreciate your vulnerability. I have my hair share of terrible moments in the tree. I have the same climbing rope. Have fun, stay safe!!
I always live by the "don't cut the limb you're tied off to" rule. I'm not a climber or an arborist, just a good rule to live by, in my personal experience.
Beautiful job with this one, not unlike all your other ones. You're a true arborist, that is to say your a (skilled) tree surgeon.
I have a "Don't climb Everest" rule. I'm not a mountain climber. Just a good rule.
I thought I was the only one who did that. 😂
I really appreciate you showing the dummy mistakes along with all the fun stuff. Its not all perfect cuts and straight logs.
I hate when people pull that on the road in front of me! Grrrrrr! Looks like another successful day when you get out of the tree walking! Thank you for the video Human. Always a pleasure. 👍🏼❤️
Feel ya on that d bag who pulled out on you. Month ago F250 long bed, filled with 30 bales of 2 string, horse trailer in tow. Doing 60mph, total A Hole pulls out in front of me on a 2 lane state highway. Had to hit brakes and just avoided collision.
Dude! Glad you're alright, and I'm 100% serious about that! Back in the spring of this year, I was heading to a company that sells water heaters & such. I was towing a 4×6 utility trailer. Suddenly, a big SUV pulled right across in front of me, from the other lane! It literally had to be God watching out for me, or I might not be alive today! People can be so careless...and now it appears that more accidents are caused by people on the phone, texting or making calls, or whatnot. If I'd been a Police Officer, I'd of sent that person who cut in front of me straight to Jail!
Yeh, it's me again,... OK, Corey, you're description for the "tourist's", spot on. Let me ask you though, if that section was over powerlines, what, if anything would you have done differently? Take time to think carefully, and please answer. Now the good, (actually quite good) I'm positive your improved 'positioning' throughout these larger trees continues to make your confidence soar. I can see it a mile away, and know damn well you feel it. Also, your attitude with your groundsmen is as tight as I've seen. Please remember, as I'm sure they will testify to, on site friendship is a fine line with the dangers involved everyday. Great that you show respect/admiration for their work, just as importantly, stepping on toes with proper admonishments will always be imperative to ensure safety, and in the long run, your guys are going to appreciate this every bit as much as the proverbial "blowing smoke". They/yourself always have to have each others interest at hand. that always stems from honest communications. Excellent work, Sir. ~MM
Also, I'm POSITIVE you've noticed the comments here concerning the "greed" thing we've discussed so many times, my friend....
I'd have likely used the same technique, fan of the spider leg balancer. Feel like my biggest fault on this one was not realizing how the redirect was around the same height as the rigging point close to it, and how much friction would be in the redirect adding to the forces exerted on it, absolutely should have used a pulley or ring for a redirect, and with that comes the ability to place it where you want and not just whatever crotch is most useful.
LOL, ok, I can reluctantly get with that, and, PLACEMENT is, of course paramount. Seems the time spent readying all that would have taken more time than rigging a pull back hinge, and simply reducing weight/length of the section strategically to bring the rest around? ( There's this thing called a pole pruner, lol, some even come with a rip blade!....check it out sometime...) Admittingly, I do envy you for accessing all the latest gear, I know damn well I'd be playing with it, but in order to purchase it you have to make up time on the gig as well. Keep your azz safe. ~MM
Nice, proper, pro. Comrade conversation. Well done. This is not for academics reading books and reports - this is workmanship. Enjoy and love it. Thumbs up :-)
Ilve broke out three tie in points over the years. Lots of lessons to be learned. My initial impression was that the way the rope was wrapped on the failed lime created too much friction. Were you trying to lift it by pulling with the machine? There was another close call on the cut before that where the but swung back at you. You can actually see it better in the shadow of the tree on the grass. Two mishaps/close calls on two cuts in a row is trying to tell you something. Best thing I can suggest here is try using redirects as much as possible to keep the forces in line with the stem. And then please take this seriously and make some adjustments. Don't listen to those who applaud you for "keeping it real". This is an accident waiting to happen (AGAIN) if you don't change something. PLEASE BE SAFE!
I had the new gopro out yesterday and had some facebook entanglements distracting me and made a bunch of small mistakes. I had to wonder how much the distraction of making good video was at play.
Totally predictable. If you keep going bigger and bigger with your rigging eventually something breaks!
This has been my life fir 37 years. Never owned bucket, so climbing everything keeps the skills tuned and more understanding of what not to do in this awesome, but dangerous line of work. Everyday is a new puzzle to solve and the benefits to ones health are treemendous. It takes grit, and most men these days have zero grit, just a bunch of soft asses. I've seen it all over the years and what I see lately is one big fashion show. Cranes are stealing the skill level in climbers. Boys are get soft because of cranes. I use cranes myself, but it's few and far between and I'm not into production like the big outfits that tend to be heavy on headaches.
Good job brother, stay safe and keep it out of the dirt.
Dude! Saw your video, and I love it! Great job! I work for my Landlord and Friend, a Mr. L'everock (He's Irish!), and, as I watched your video here, I was reminded of a time when my boss was in the Crow's nest of one of our Bucket Trucks. He cut a rather sizeable piece of tree the wrong way, and it smashed into a wooden walkway, which was at the back of one of our apartments! That accident took out most of that walkway! Needless to say, it cost him, I'm guessing, at least a few thousand dollars in rubbish removal, new materials for the new walkway, and having K&N, which is owned by a friend of his, to come in and build a new walkway. I see also that you use guideropes. So do we, when needed. We both know the old adage:An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Also:The final part of your video showed some nitwit running out in front of you. Glad you're alright, and you have the video footage of that truck. Couldn't you have him arrested for reckless driving? I sure wish you could. Have a great one! Glad I watched your video...it sure was fun to watch!
Damn! Good to see everyone is ok. Maybe a redirect to the base on that pull wouldn't have yarded the limb as hard? Thanks for sharing Corry. Y'all's crew is strong 💪.
Dude!!! That's why I don't put redirects out there on limbs. I'm glad no one was hurt!! Man that was serious shit there!!!
awesome job buddy!! I love how you work. remember expect the unexpected
Great little Stihl climbing saw, had another tree guy give me one, with very few hrs on it, he said it wouldn't cut worth a darn , even after being at the Stihl shop. After 10 minutes of cutting, I realized, the FACTORY chain, was thinner than the bar, wouldn't even hardly go through a 4 inch branch. Found a new, proper chain in my shed, been cutting like a scalded dog since.
26 years in , you got a good crew , your a skilled climber , don't get lazy , hail marys can go bad quick , enjoyed your vidio
Greg 🌳 man
Cant iie corey, this just gets me hot to get into climbing. Love it brother, stay safe!
Loving the spiderjack, the locking button is a real handy feature.....
"That saves us a lot of work" 😂😂😂
Bringing a leaner all the way back up and over? Truly impressive! Thanks for the ride to school!
So I’m not much on channels or videos like this but man you do a GREAT job. There is a different dynamic with your vids. For sure subscribing to your channel!!!! Again great stuff keep them coming and I’ll keep watching!!
I think every climber of experience has been in a similar situation. Some things a land lover can't understand about the trade.
You're sketchy af at times! 3rd gen tree man here and I've seen some pretty sketchy things.
EVAN LEMONS~ Evan, so many commenters on his vid's think I'm on Corey's azz continuously. Obviously more so than most. Perhaps, but his journey getting to this point has been fascinating. He's a solid cat, and I want him to succeed.
These videos should be live one day someone is going to get killed.
He'll slow down a bit when he gets a couple more rings on him...:)...He's a beast and If I owned a tree company, he'd be my Ace...He's a tightrope walker...He's working out on the edge...To me, as someone that was like that in my prime; It's poetry....Balls to the WALL!
It is refreshing to see a professional at work after watching all the other videos of people getting hurt and buildings getting smashed good work
Man, I jumped out my chair soon as I heard the cracking...... Love to see tons of huge tree bouncing a foot in the air after the fall.
LOL dude giving the time it happens for the "tourists". Fuck that I watch em all, have been since damn near the beginning. Have a good one human!
Your vids are addicting. Not that I would do what you do BUT I something everytime I watch. Interesting how you cut the wedges so the falling tree kinda jumps off the stump. Impressive directional skills. Some of those leaners are scary to see much less cut in a controlled manner. 👍🏻👍🏻
You should have blocked it down lower before dropping the trunk.
Lean was against the pie cut and the wedges seen like groundsman work👏👏
Rigging to big for that situation
Got to keep the wanting to go home early stuff on the inside LOL. Leads to lots of screw ups along the way been there done that.
I agree with train horn, let em hear it a mile away! Also need strobes in your grill! Nothing red and blue just something bright!
Scary when things break before you expect it
That little saw is a beast
So has that crane rigging work helped you at all in your non crane work
This is a good question!
Some dangerous work my family friend a paraplegic fell 40ft
could you please include some more of your skilled rigging in your videos? great videos btw
Pulling bits around with that Avant made me cringe both the branch and the machine tugging on that anchor point 😨
Nice little Avant 528 front end loader you got there.
Yikes! Glad everyone was ok. I gotta say though - when I saw the size of the limb you were cutting, the first thought I had was "I hope the upper branch can hold that."
Thanks for sharing.
He said you want tension, I'll give ya tension...
At least you realize why it happened. Was thinking he should have pulley or redirect there. Good old friction. Best friend or an enemy. Still nice spider leg set up. Thanks for keeping it real
Dude you're crazy I was nervous wreck just watching!
Dose that guy have any chest hair left? All that rubbing cant be good.
Scary how fast things can go bad! Stay carful humans!
That is a job I always wanted to do...I could never master the heights...the heights killed that dream...I wish I did have the courage and knowledge that the cutter has... he's good real good...
Brave man...
@ 5:50 😳😳😳
(For those who don’t read descriptions)
@ 0:07 its a little crazy too.
Thanks
joecies lol
Daniel son u are getting better 😁😁😁😜
And that is why you don’t tie in to the same lead that your roping rope is in. We eliminate as much risk as we can, but you can never eliminate all of it.
Chuck Saunders eactly. Happened to me but instead of just the limb snapping the whole trunk snapped and pulled me along for the ride at over 40 ft and broke my back. Trunk was 60” where it snapped. I always rig smaller pieces now.
A Plus Tree Service inc Ouch...... that sucks.
@@APlusBrandon glad you're still with us 👍
That 200t is a machine!!!
That looks like an oak wilt site with the other dead red oaks in the background when you fell the trunk. If you guys don’t think it’s in your area you should check to see what’s going on there. Looks just like all the sites I am managing here in michigan
Great one for boat, nice log , quite "springy" ...
Ride safe, clean, have fun .
I never understood what people have against trees in there yards. Give me a thousand trees in my yard, the lower electric bill in the summer would more then make up for no green grass.
Umm, I'm guessing foundations, roofs, decks, pools, sheds, garages, vehicles, tornados, property lines, powerlines, gazebos, children, annnnnnd, oh, I don't know, maybe a killer view near a horseshoe pit?
Just trimmed an 85 foot tall tree that had big limbs over the house and gooseneck power line. I was quoted $2,900 to $3,500 to do it. So, I bought a 36 inch rope chainsaw on ebay for $21, already had three good static climbing rope, a couple of pulleys, a come-along and I did it myself over a three day period without even climbing the tree. Just a beanbag and some poly twine to throw over the limbs and saw them with the rope saw
All you need to know is how to tie a rolling hitch, make small cuts ( just don't cut one big limb in one cut), and anyone can do it.
LOL, Old Glory, don't ever touch a power saw,...please.
I usually put a lock wrap in front of my running bowline, if I am really counting on it to hold.
How many Cory's dose it take to change a lightbulb? None he doesn't use ladders. ;D Have a good one!
Get that air horn installed, I promise it will make you feel better about having to drive around inconsiderate people.
6:57 Do .25 speed, thats the sound of Corey's Saturday night
Fairly surprised that broke out on you. Was there any decay or weakness? What was with the leaves?
They had one of their guide ropes around it and I’m guessing it had a good amount of tension on it so it snapped, but that’s just my guess, I don’t do tree work just enjoy his channel
Side leverage on the re-direct, not surprising it happened.
glad yall ok
It broke out because he tried to pull the pick up after it was cut and hanging. Overcoming that crouch friction along with the load broke the anchorpoint
hey man, its great watching your videos, i recently got into tree service after many years of waiting for an opening. i could use some advice if your up for it. i feel like i need to find a new company to pursue this passion. seeing the way you treat your coworkers and crew is a huge difference from the way the company i work for does things. if you have a moment to spare for a conversation that would be awesome
Usually you wanna go hard and fast and THEN pull man.
Shit happens, and so does luck, sometimes not. Be safe bro. Good cut on that leaner.
You did excellent job really enjoyed it
Got greedy on your crotch, stay safe up there brother! Definitely a oh s**t moment lol, I need me a gopro!
1.) could you please define they 'cyllinoid (sp?)' upgrade? I've been through 20-30 tanks with my saw and I don't think shes fully rocking yet, would like some input.
2.) thanks for all the vids in all sincerity, especially the problems you encounter really have helped me along. Currently clearing 40 acres of overgrown firs on family farm, you're a lot of help sir.
I guess it's a solenoid that's part of the ignition system, to make the spark plug timing better tuned in.
I am a fan of the tried and true Stihls. Thanks for no more Echo’s and whatnot, where would you even get parts for those things?
That tree was leaning like the the Tower of Pisa getting it to fall the opposite of that lean was cool
I got out 2 years ago for a white collar management job to hopefully save my body before I totally destroy it. Your videos make me feel like I could have gone a few more years. Damn I miss making my own tree porn.
Nice work man. Humility is hard to find in this industry. Stay safe and bombs away brother.
Quality work, Quality entertainment. Never change. Dont do the stupid youtube shit with the fancy pants bs
SWEET "flat drops"...............You do me proud!
Could feel it coming. Well off the bubble. Felt stressed and distracted during the small limbs.
Fantastic job!!!
You got big balls my friend ..
God bless you and all people working tree work be safe
everyone knew where the dz was, so no one got hurt. we think we have total control, but when we add a natural redirect you take all that careful planning to vegas. stay safe my dude. spider lifts are preeeeeeetty cool btw............
Great videos always.Love when you work on your truck good shit.Are you a 100% after your fall?
What tree service do you work for.
I could watch tradesmen all day.
Nice final cuts
Why would you wear black company shirts in the summer
Good question, this needs more likes. lol
Because they look cool
You guys are funny man,.... Big branch hit in a ass.... haaahaa 😂
Unacceptable climbing in my neighborhood
My friend Jerry and Chino voice sounds like that chain saw
Nicely done man 🤘
You make it look easy
where you originally climing on a gri gri or a rid/I'd? if so why did you start with that then switch over?
just curious because ive never seen someone climb like that
Artistic. Well done pro
Cocky and getting competent, too big of cuts for no reason other than trying to save time........
Complacent- damn auto correct. No offense Corey, you’re getting competent too.
Big fellas tend to try and save energy where ever possible.
Cory addressed how he would correct his mistake in the description. I wouldn't call that cocky. Additionally, as mentioned above, it is a lot easier think when you don't have the mid afternoon sun beating down on you.
Agreed! Any time you try to "save time" by doing big cuts like that, you're inviting trouble! Slow and steady wins the race...or does anybody even remember that old, but very wise, saying anymore? Too many people get in a hurry...and look what happens! Slow down a bit, and don't rush something like this. Carefulness wins the day!
Impressive work
Try the fishing pole technique with the rings as you set rigging up. Try to disperse the forces among several rig points Versus the single rig point.also watch the size of what you are rigging and the size of your rigging point. “Will it hold that much weight?” If in doubt go smaller. As I was watching the size of branch you were cutting, the single point rig point, skiddsteer was pulling away from tree. Essentially the weight of branch would
Comprise the rig point. Added force from skidsteer ripped it down like a twig. Hence the “whoah whoah whoah” take your time stay hydrated and think before you cut of worst case scenario. Stay safe keep up the good work ethics. Enjoy your videos
Industry standard Veteran climber 16years and still learning myself. Had my share of mishaps just had two barber chairs in same day aloft in some tall skinny birch’s sucked...almost died or ended my career. Barber chaired fell of the stump and missed my left should by bout half and inch. 150lbs birch top instantly barberchaired broke off and hit ground
I had three rigging points, should have used a pulley in the one that failed, didn't take into account the extra friction.
Great job!
Thought I got first but whatever. I’m listening to The Pot and watching Human. Try it sometime
black work shirt?! thats worse than our old dark blue ones
You usually don't see that happen in Oak trees.
I think Jackyl uses a Stihl onstage, The Lumberjack
Badass! Love it from NC.
