It's a phase every climber/tree guy goes through. Too confident, accident, question your own abilities, gain skill, gain confidence, accident . . . Repeat with longer streaks between incidents
You are exactly right I've been cutting 22 years and now I don't make accidents too often ever in the beginning I made them all the time but they're always going to happen especially in tree work God bless @@jiffypop247
@@jiffypop247 nah. if you look at all the things kevin did on camera, its more like "slightly risky" but he always rolls the smaller chance of it going wrong. xD (he is as cursed as i am). you can have a 95% chance the log goes left, and for kevin and me it goes right.
@@AkiSan0 haha, I have that issue when dropping the spar. I work with a guy that makes the sloppiest notches and never has a problem. If I get sloppy I'll end up with an accidental swinging Dutchman and miss the log pad. The same guy also doesn't get nearly as dirty as I do.
This is my go to video channel when I want to decompress from all the "unbiased" news noise around. You guys make a tough job look fun and easy, which I know it isn't. The safety you all put into each job based on equipment, physics and the environment is incredible. No shortcuts. This is the American work ethic. Blaming others for what they feel a short coming isn't. Being able to provide these excellent videos while doing such a hazardous job is inspiring. PS. Keep the wife happy with a good life insurance policy. Ask her what it should be. Happy Wife, Happy Life.
That reminds me of when I was a kid. We would walk out into the woods where we lived in the country and cut our own Christmas tree. Then in the spring we would go back to the place we cut it and plant TWO new baby trees to replace it. We'd mark them with a little red flag so we could find and check on them later. I went back a few years ago...there are a bunch of 50 year old BIG beautiful fir trees where those tiny babies used to be sitting there next to some tiny raggedy red flags. :D
would love yo see a clean up video... like how long after the last chainsaw cut are yall normally still there cleaning up? blowing., hooking up trailers and whatnot?.. complete complete... thanks
After my heavy garden work here in the Uk these are always very relaxing. Very good skills particularly the rope work to ensure nothing falls on the house roof. It is a pity where I live is a smoke free zone as I would love a real fire with logs.
Love watching you and your crew work! Learning a lot for my trees around the house. Question; when you make your notch on a tree you're falling, it's usually the flat side on the top then the angled side below that, but sometimes opposite. Does it make a difference?
I appreciate how you briefly mentioned the cost of the gig. It helps put things in perspective. You know how a boy reaches adulthood? First he is old enough to vote. Second he finds out how much it costs to have a tree taken down. Bazinga!
I'm so use to working around power and communication lines, I have a crack in my phone and Everytime I see you felling a tree I'm like ohh there goes that line ... That's close to that line and it's just a crack in my screen 😂
You're not a ground guy Jake, you're management making important decisions which can't be made up a tree. Now, that important channel "Guilty of Randy", where do we find it? 🤣🤣
On the bucket truck you should make a removable expanded metal guard over the radiator. Then at job sites have another piece that hinges up to cover the windshield.
Thanks for sharing your estimate price. I recently went out on my own and still having trouble with underbidding because of wanting to get jobs so it helps to know what other are charging. Thank you
You said,..."Dude, you cracked my truck"...I would have said now you get a picture of the grill in lieu of your next paycheck...LMAO. He's a good dude !
how old was that maple? neat tree, could not believe the amount of growth on the limbs. such a great job and no one got hurt ! Randy is so funny and a great worker! he keeps it so light that the hard work goes so much faster and quicker! great video Jake!
I live in Australia and any big tree that is cut down, is sawn up for timber. Isn't Maple any good for milling? Just curious. It also amazes me why so many people build houses near trees that are known to grow big. Love your videos. You are so good at what you do. I hold my breath sometimes.
Just discovered the channel today, but something that'd help newbies "understand" would be each person having a "color", which you SEEM to already have with the helmets, and then each perspective, just put a thin color border, maybe under 10px, so they know whose eyes we're seeing through at the moment. Like, I know two guys were in the tree, but can't recall who... there were a few people on the ground, doing "things"..... I also appreciate you going out of the way to identify the equipment that's being used. Sure, it's half marketing, but you never know what rabbit hole you might wind up in!
Great Video Jake . The last Tree looked pretty Stubborn. Nice Cut on the Top. The broken Grill on the Truck must have been annoying. It looked like the Crew was full of Adrenaline. Ready to get the job done.
Hey yall, I hired a tree guy many years ago at Higgins Lake Michigan. He used a boom truck and a very thick rope & topped the massive tree. The roof of the house was covered in leaves as the tree was just one foot away from the house on the eaves side. He tied the tree top to the bucket and fell it towards the house, and when the top came off, it brushed all of the leaves off of the roof. He was definitely a pro. The roof was coming off later anyways, but there wasn't even a scratch on it.
Just stopped drinking celsius a couple weeks ago. Im only drinking coffee now. Id drink a couple cups of coffee in the morning, then around 1130ish/ after the first or second tree, chug a celsius. It was great for the first month but then it started to make my chest sore… im off energy drinks all together but celcius is the only one that did that…which sucks cause its the best one haha
Great job Jake and crew as always God bless Jake question your 2511 Echo what do you have your high and low set at like how many turns in or out thank you
I've watched quite a few of your videos, and I'm honestly looking at getting into working as an arborist after 25 years in IT 😂 Any chance you have a video planned around 'So, you want to be a certified arborist!' I have some rudimentary basic knowledge of how to use a chainsaw, but the more I watch the more I realize I need to learn 😂 Frankly I think my age and lack of experience is going to count against me, but I'm seriously ready to do something different!
@GuiltyofTreeson the problem with that double raker is your raker gage you bought from Gordy won't work.... tell him this is an opportunity to create another product. Raker gage for the low kickback chains. Quick to the laser lol.
Just a question. I have used Oregon chain and have had two chains now lose teeth about half chain life. Is there Oregon and Oregon when it comes to quality? I am on Kangaroo Island Australia.
QUESTION????? When you were in school did you ever get in trouble for talking and talking and talking all DAY LONG in school or talk back to your teacher or principal or your parents or to the cops or to the nice neighbors or to any of your coaches or to your paster Did you talk in your SLEEP????? If not, I would be VERY, VERY surprised!!!!! Love your videos.
You need an older ported 346xp and a newer ms261 both for middle of the trees….i love my 150t and use it with a 10” bar and have to stop myself from cuttin to biga stuff with it..I leave an older 262xp that’s awsome with a 20” bar…
0what certafications do I need to get insured to do this type of work. I have all the equipment and have been doing it for friends and family for about 10 years now.
Hey jake, so i know you said 8750, obviously some overhead and employees. But as a single or small company without such expensises would this be considered like a 5500$ job?
His company his price, customer agreed to it they could have gone with someone else if they didn’t like it. Gotta cover the equipment/employees and make a profit.
@ThatGingerGuyCreations yea I know, I do tree work on the side. I just don't have debt and fancy equipment. I'm usually half the price twice the work. :/ need to charge more.
@codgodsof5702 just gotta figure out the quotes, it'll take time to get them perfect but if it's just you you should be making some good profit expenses like gas and saw/truck maintenance
@ryverbryant3815 nah I have one sometimes 2 people, but people forget it's so expensive to get the shit you need, to get climbing gear is 2k easy, not including rigging stuff. Saws, bars, chains, wedges. I'm not really to far in the green yet🤣 5k in saws. Then big jobs always take longer and eat up profit. Lol.
The thing with the chippers is at when they have auto feed is that it breaks and it cost as much to fix as for what you payed for the machine itsself when I use to do logging I had a Veermeer bc 625 and it had auto feed on it and broke and veermeer just wanted to much money for another auto feed system for it it was actually my grandparents chipper so they made the dision to not fix the auto feed system on it if it would of been my chipper I would of had a whole tree chipper and I would of fixed the auto feed I don’t either haveing to stand there and pull the lever back and fourth we had that size chipper because my grandparents liked to burn wood and they really liked burning oak and eculyptus wood
83 yrs old and love your videos still cut trees for firewood
Hell yeA
Yeah that last top was some of the best rigging I've ever seen, and one of the sickest burns ever too 🤣 "Randy I know you probably hear this a lot..."
That line was the funniest
Kevin breaks everything 😂

I love your channel.,Very humbling. Your gear and equipment and watching how y’all work togethe to get er done . Awesome.💪💯
Quite the team ! That was a true beast. Again that was a re-watch for me Jake.
Good to see Guilty of Randy on the job where's the Cinnabun lol 😅😅😂
No no. It's Guilty Randy! 🤣

The music at the end is amazing!!
bit to far from uk to cut tree. you boys are doing great job i take my hat off to you all,cheers
Randy definitely makes this fun to watch lol. dudes funny
that sounds like a VERRY reasonable price! For 5 trees! that maple could be 3 in 1
And two days a work, one four man crew day and one 5 man day :)
I feel the slight under anger
“Dude you cracked my truck”
a bit of crazy glue will fix it. another great effort from you guys. hope he comes for another visit from Norway
Love watching your videos and get dizzy watching them but love it
Randy is a keeper!!!🎉
15:00 safety squints will always be the best eye protection 🤜

great job and no one got hurt ! Randy is so funny and a great worker! he keeps it so light that the

SO, do you sharpen your blades before each job, or just replace them with new ?? And, which manufacturer for chains do you use ?

Does a 1/2 inch hole in the bottom of the bucket really prevent electrical shock protection. That intrigues me. happy to know the truth.
Poor Randy.....Love the vid guys!!

Always nice to see your videos Greetings from the Netherlands Great Job
15:23 thank you for this 🙂❤️🔥
Cool that you share your pricing
Hello from Andorra 🌲🌳🌲🌳
3:16 Could that block be any smaller? I think it's purpose is to keep the support pad from getting dirty.
It's there for better stability on softer ground
@@ryverbryant3815 It's barely bigger than the pad. I triple or quadruple the pad size so not imprint the ground.
@@AndyFromBeaverton yeah that's also how it is for me lol
@@AndyFromBeaverton not sure why it is so small
Great video! All the way around!❤❤❤
Thanks so much!!
I have been wondering why you chip even 12-16 in pieces and branches instead of producing firewood? How much can you sell woodchip for vs firewood?
What a tree. Respect.
Hard work but a good feeling when you are on the drive home.
Everyone doing something.
Nice work
Have you ever had a saw that would idle good but bog outs when trigger is pulled?
Check your spark arrest screen. They get clogged with carbon and can cause that. Pull it out and give it a clean.
Great job making that last cut.
Thanks!

How does the electric saw vs petrol saw compare, weight and lasting time?
That was a fun one to watch.

Just an awesome piece of work. Best content I have seen on your channel so far.... newly sub'd and rolling backwards to catch up...
Since you can't drill a hole in the bottom of your bucket, why don't you keep a cover over it to keep the rain out?
The magnet needs to be mounted on the roperunner for it to be really smart ;)
Do they only make the speedcut chain with the double raker? Or can u find em with the single raker?
They all have double raker but it’s still good stuff
@GuiltyofTreeson the problem with that double raker is your raker gage you bought from Gordy won't work.... tell him this is an opportunity to create another product. Raker gage for the low kickback chains. Quick to the laser lol.

All that beautiful maple getting chipped... Aren't there any mills around that will take that wood?
Whoosh job fellas
Don't you wish you had a crane on jobs like those? Lol You guys did awesome!!
Wow it's amazing that the tree has not Split all ready.
Jake … enjoy your videos! Quick question - notice you don’t use eye protection very much! Why is that? Not criticizing, just real curious!
I've often thought the same thing!

Cant you just get a cover for your bucket so stuff doesn't get in it while it's not in use?
Yeah I did have one but it blew off, I need to buy another one!
What carabiners do you use for rigging?
About the water. U could use a siphon or a tiny bilgepump on a battery.
0what certafications do I need to get insured to do this type of work. I have all the equipment and have been doing it for friends and family for about 10 years now.
Drake the magnet thing that you were using for your chest where did you get that at buddy

It’s so important to change the knives on any chipper

$8,750 and leaving chips and wood?!??!?!
