25:00 Here's a small tip I learned. On the bar oil jug I only put a small hole in the silver seal with a screwdriver on the opposite side of the handle. This way the oil comes out in a narrow stream so I don't spill it. If the seal is completely removed it makes a wide stream and makes a mess.
33:44 In the middle of nowhere and there's still an old tyre in the bush. I realize that it's the town's tip/burn area but that tyre was well back from the current site!
Trees up in the mountains spend so much time totally under snow when they are young, they barely grow year to year till they finally get tall enough to stay out of the snowpack
The bond you got with your friends like Gordy and Captain Cinnabon is so wholesome to see. Honestly an inspiration. Keep up the good work, stay safe buddy!
I started with treework today. In Norway. Climbed my first tree!🎉 Your videos inspired me and i've got a good base of knowldge to start off with. Keep it up!
Jake, I just wanted to say how glad I am that you decided to pursue your own path instead of sticking with Eastside. I think of how cool this channel is now and how many more cool things you can show us without just the content from Eastside’s work.
You must have an amazing wife that stands by your side. Almost as scary as being married to a cop or fireman because the wife always wonder if you are coming home. I admire your arborists skills and your people skills. It is awesome how you and Gordy get along and joke but learn from each other at the same time. Stay safe Jake & Gordy! Best to you and your families!
Good show, worked as a cutter in 1979 and 1980 out of a camp north of Ketchikan. Ran 045 and 2100 Husky’s with 42” and 48” bars; square cut, skip tooth chains. I was in my mid 30’s at the time; worked Wa. and Or. also. It was a good time in my life and loved working in the woods. Stick with it young man and the memories will be there when you’re older; be safe in the big timber.
You living the life my boy. I've always wanted to go to Alaska and to go there to fell some trees, I love it. I'm in Georgia and Florida helping with this hurricane. So many people have been taken advantage of from tree people. I'm here to make money don't get me wrong but I have helped people who didn't have the money to pay to get the work done. I took a huge pecan tree off an elderly woman's home. A tree service told her $10,000 for the tree. I offered to take it off for free. They ended up scrounging some money together and gave me like $115 but I was doing it to help more than anything
As someone who has lived in southcentral Alaska their whole life it is really cool to see other parts of the state through the eyes of someone who isn’t just a tourist.
Alot of the pine we grow in iceland comes from seeds from skagway. They are the only ones suited for our oceanic climate. Actually seeing video from this place that is so often talked about in my circles, fills me with gratitude
I've been to Skagway and you're right; it's definitely off the grid. My wife and I got there via ship, but I believe that many of the locals fly or own their own boat. It's definitely rugged up there. The topography is positively breathtaking (as I like to say, "pristine wilderness"). I love your channel. You're quite a skilled technician. Excellent content.
I just took a cruise from Seattle to Alaska last week. We stopped in Juneau and Skagway. The trees there are so small compared to ours in WA. Fun to see Alaska again.
Not a great representation of southeast alaskan timber. Skagway is in the northern reaches of southeast so it's colder and doesn't have as good of soil as southern southeast. Larger spruce, hemlock, and cedar further south. Still no fir though
I live in Southeast, Alaska. Kake, Alaska. I've been working with a partnership with forest service doing timber fallen and timber sales. If you ever want to explore more and do more cutting. Let me know. We can make it happen! I've been watching your channel for about two years and west coast saws. Cheers fellas 🍻
I've enjoyed watching you grow jake, you have a lot of talent and never have a bad word to say about anyone. I've followed you from the early days of Eastside treeworks, I'm a young tree guy myself almost 12 years in powerline clearance plus residential. Would love the opportunity to work for you one of these days brother! Until then I'll continue enjoying watching the channel!
From POW myself. Used to be popping in southeast, I cut out of a bunch of camps before things slowed down a few years ago. I still cut around home whenever the opportunity arises. And even the hemlock will hang on tight for you if you coax it to
An old faller taught me when it’s almost around the tip of the bar and is hard to rotate, you can take your wedge and smack the back of the tooth to help get it around the rest of the way
Damn brother. You are a lot safer than i was. On a chop and drop i didn't shut the saw off. Didn't want to waste time or energy pulling cord. I even filled it running. Just run it in on a notch and slap the brake. Fuel and oil went in. Capped it and kept cutting
Great video. This is mostly the size I cut in the North of Norway. I mostly use a hq 550 or a 562 with some shorter bar then you use. It's easier to walk with in that train.
That whitish moss is called caribou moss. They love it. Nice falling, I wish I was still young enough to do this kind of work again. Thanks for the video.
I love the 550XP Mark II, nice to see one used again. I've used a 500i, and it's a great saw, but I rarely cut large wood, so a 562XP or a 550XP Mark II are much less fatiguing to use.
Man... that wood has awesome growth rings! Too bad some of it can't be saved for lumber... since it would most likely have to be helicoptered out... and we all know that's super pricey! Great couple of days working! Things out of your control in far away places... weather and area transportation. Maybe next time you'll be able to work a few more jobs per trip! Happy you anf Gordy had a safe trip... and on to the next one.
A ported saw usually gets muffler modded because once it's ported, the cylinder is moving gases through so much quicker that the muffler needs to have comparable exhaust flow so the saw can reach its full potential. That said, it is not unheard of for ported saws to be run with stock mufflers
Hey Jake. I know it is old vid but regarding your "odd looking Hemlock" with the tight g/rings...I am really surprised that more peeps in PNW do not know this fact, but those little goofy looking Hemlock trees you cut to get your escape route down are many times older than the bigger Fir, Cedar, etc. that you harvest. They are called "Minion Stressed Dwarf Hemlock" trees. They orig. grow out of buttresses of dfir [the best sapling growing medium] and other conifer GIANTS. They can survive for many decades or a couple centuries or so waiting for the giants to fall next to them so they can be cut down someday by peeps like us who say, "that is an old Hemlock..." lol but there you go. When we see sparks fly from what seems like a little 2" diameter Hemlock 'sucker' [with an umbrella shaped canopy], then you know you are cutting some history and we might want to think twice about that escape route. I hope I didnt make you feel bad now for killing something that little and that old! You can use this info for another one of your excellent and informative and "humble" vids. I know you will cut me some cred! lol The main thing is BE F ING SAFE BROTHER!
yesterday ave my 2 weeks notice to quit my job as a excavator operator to go back to logging im 20 years old have been logging since i was 16 and bushing over dead trees since i had enough weight to do so . Im gonna start my own business in logging im from estonia i have a dolmar 5105 with a 18 inch bar love that saw and a 1960s 2wd tractor thats gonna do all my skidding and i hope we really dont use tree length logs anymore and i dont know how well its gonna bay off but its more of a passion than a job and one things for sure im gonna learn alot and do alot and hopefully have enough to buy a processor someday it would be a awesome upgrade to a chainsaw or a forwarder but thats a big maybe i dont think i wannago so big but i have ran those all alot and they get a job done quick thats for sure good luck and be safe out there
I understand that they wanted the trees cleared for the incinerator but what do they do with all the lumber and brush? Do they burn it or do they let the locals take what they want for firewood and their personal use?
video turned out great, so don't worry so much about it. the weather there does play a significant role in reguarding what can be achieved. breakdowns aren't predictable unfortunately
I hope you guys are aware that you're having waaaay too much fun. While enjoying watching this video, I'm as green as those trees you're cutting, with envy.
I noticed that your sawmenship has gotten a lot better sense you Ben traveling an working with different people an places . Your using some east coast techniques as well as west it cool to watch you become a well rounded tree guy. Il be honest I’m a east coast guy so I’d go out west an be out of my element at first
You’ve probably heard this one already but has anyone ever called you the Jake Paul of falling?? A TH-camr trying to turn pro? 😅 i enjoy your videos and the content you brought us with Gordie and Jed…your inexperience shines in terms of professional falling. 31:04 look at the convention cut the bucker mans out in… 4-5 in max on these trees mean while yours is 11-15” why?!?
I thought that I saw You Tube videos on heli logging in Alaska. I may have been wrong and it was in Canada. Something else for you to get involved with. That area of Alaska and Canada is certainly remote and sparsely populated.

Keep it up!
bra jobba :)
Good work, stay safe always.
Nice vids, but cutting stics with 500 I and 32 " seems a bit "Ameican".
good luck man! ive been climbing for 5 years now dont give up its a rewarding job
I got my first Huge tree(no idea what kind lol) down because of Jake, Inspired and Helped me grow my confidence in cutting in general

That tree that had fallen but corrected it’s growth is gnarly. I love seeing trees like that
25:55 That's a real friend. Back barring the cut while your buddy films you! Always enjoy when you two do a trip together.
😢😢😢 10:55 11:21 12:10 12:26 12:39

7:30 my dad had an old 044 arctic he got it here in Vermont but did not really use the heated handle bars much.
I have the same 044 and have used the heated handle appx twice since new.
@@iffykidmn8170 it just doesn't get cold outside like It used to

It isn't the humans you need to worry about! Be loud!! BTW...we saw that whiff on the wedge!! Gordie has a lot of knowledge!! The scenery is amazing!!
I never thought I'd have so much fun watching guys fell trees! If I were younger, I think I would actually really like doing this.
Fun watching you guys! Love the slow mo of Gordy cutting the blow down tree
video clarity is top notch on this one!

Man pulling out the nice cameras for this trip! Video looms amazing!
Wow! almost a million subscribers! well deserved💪 Love your videos jacob!
Thanks for sharing Jacob. Always good to see Gordie in your videos as well. Keep traveling, traveling videos are cool.
Tickle it, tickle it, tickle it, feel it, then pull out. Very good advice Gordy, when cutting, and dating
I have been to Skagway a ton. I used to live/ work in Haines...45 minute ferry ride away. LOVE it there!!!
I live in Maine and i have a 044 that has heated handles. Got the saw from my dad and i love the saw
Damn brother. You are a lot safer than i was. On a chop and drop i didn't shut the saw off. Didn't want to waste time or energy pulling cord. I even filled it running. Just run it in on a notch and slap the brake. Fuel and oil went in. Capped it and kept cutting
Great to see a lumberjack in southeast Alaska again. It’s been a while since timber harvest has been shut down.
Videos are very hard to make but as a video maker it’s truly awesome and appreciated all the knowledge and tips tricks you share 🤙🏽
What a great video! Beautiful country you were in! Thanks for filming and taking us along!❤❤❤
Its a sleepy town until the cruse ships show up : )
Great video. This is mostly the size I cut in the North of Norway. I mostly use a hq 550 or a 562 with some shorter bar then you use. It's easier to walk with in that train.
yeah that would have been a better size to bring
Looked like Gordy had the hurt put on him the first day. Rolling with the 661 and the 36" bar, full big wood west coast style.
Wow, Jake, what a trip you went on up there in Alaska. I hope you enjoyed yourself.
you never get tired of that sound😎
1:57 "weird funky ... pine? hemlock? I don't know... weird, weird mountain tree" 😂
Always a treat to see Gordy and you slaughtering woods! That saw is a MONSTER! I am so jealous 😂
That saw made me know exactly what’s on my Christmas list, hard to find people to port saws here in the UK tho 😂
Thanks for taking us along!
That whitish moss is called caribou moss. They love it. Nice falling, I wish I was still young enough to do this kind of work again. Thanks for the video.
You sure have the best job in the best locations on the planet Jacob ❤
Jacob ur awesome. Thanks for the video. Throughout all the struggles..
I love the 550XP Mark II, nice to see one used again. I've used a 500i, and it's a great saw, but I rarely cut large wood, so a 562XP or a 550XP Mark II are much less fatiguing to use.
Thank you for making these videos! I appreciate the length you go to share everything in such detail and coherence :)
Amazing! I am 2 1/2 Hours from there! In the Yukon! If only I knew I would have come to see you!
I bought gordys hope up kit for my stihl 462 and its a different saw now super awsome kit ..includes fallers suspension
The guy running the 550xp mk2 i love that saw my favorite i run a range of 16 to 20 bar with it.
Love Skagway! Stayed at the Golden North Hotel in 1974.
Almost 1M, Jacob! Congrats!
Beautiful work Jacob.
Rocking the walkers bar!! Represent
Great to see Alaska. I used to live in Seward.
Want to see a difference in trees look at what they call alder in Alaska. Stay safe. Love all of your videos, thanks for sharing
Jake I'm just going to speak for everyone here and say we all love the sounds that chainsaws and chippers make!
“I just tickle it, tickle it then I just pull put.” 😳🤣
I live in Skagway and really enjoyed the video. Thanks!
Right on welcome to Alaska! I live in the big city of Anchorage 😊
Awesome preforming keep up the great work love the content 💪🏻💪🏻

so cool that you can travel so much to do this job
Omg your saw is a beast! I don’t have any of mine ported… I see it makes them cut better but does it make them a lot louder?

You need to go out to the central Midwest and cut some Osage Orange if you want to see some tough trees.

You guys should come to Australia and do some cutting. Keep up the great work 👍
Not the first time I’ve tickled it and pulled out 😂
We usually chose to walk a tree with our calked boots rather than limbing from the ground, lifting our saw above breast height.
Yellow pine is a whole different animal than the soft pines. They are tough !!
4:40 what is the filming setup? It looks so nice
A broken down ferry beats the hell out of most of your trip with Kevin Hamm!
Love the safety squints. Swear it works better than glasses 😂
That Lichen Moss is also known as Reindeer Moss or Caribou Moss. It takes Decades for it to grow.
I understand that they wanted the trees cleared for the incinerator but what do they do with all the lumber and brush?
Do they burn it or do they let the locals take what they want for firewood and their personal use?
Hey Jacob, how do you travel with your saws? What type of case do you pack them in? Thanks
I usually ship them to the location ahead of time but if you empty the fluids out you can put them in a duffle bag and check them on the plane
Dang the first thing I thought is the video quality is on point.
So how does one get on the "Gordy friend list"? Asking for a friend, of course
I'd like to see a review for the Echo 7310.
The terrain looks so rough and remote, i was wondering how do they get the trees to the mill,
You, gordy and randy need a collaboration with buckin that would be awesome
video turned out great, so don't worry so much about it. the weather there does play a significant role in reguarding what can be achieved. breakdowns aren't predictable unfortunately
Congrats on 1M subs
Nice video
How you folks getting the threes out from here?
Is it you folks that cutting the limbs off and cutting them in length??
Love Alaska
Love your videos
How are you liking the Walkers ultralight bar? Johnny just sold me a 32” to try.
I hope you guys are aware that you're having waaaay too much fun. While enjoying watching this video, I'm as green as those trees you're cutting, with envy.
That’s awesome, wonder what that cost them for you guys to go up there. Or any where you guys can travel.
Ahhh... Grand video sir. Enjoyed it! 💪🇺🇸
What aluminum hard hats do you prefer? Looking at getting one this fall before my work picks up. Love the channel 👍
I'm sure you've seen Tree Climber Harry's video from Australia. I'd like to see your reaction to those trees.
I noticed that your sawmenship has gotten a lot better sense you Ben traveling an working with different people an places . Your using some east coast techniques as well as west it cool to watch you become a well rounded tree guy. Il be honest I’m a east coast guy so I’d go out west an be out of my element at first

Are you still in Alaska? are you going to be in the Anchorage area? if so, I would love to say hi and shake your hand. Love your videos.
