no second lanyard, no emergency rope, detaching from lanyard when crossing limbs, lanyard tied with yosemite bowline, chainsaw not cutting... mmmmh... this is really a lot of not to do it things...
Yep looks like a crack head that’s not how I climb idc how bad ass someone is I ain’t losing my life because I wana cut corners nope and I wanna look professional that ain’t aha
what about a second lanyard so you would always be attatched to the tree . your life is worth more than saving some time !! I lost a good friend in a climbing fall dont be unsafe the lord is a busy guy he spent all day watching you . Smarten up !!!!!!
Disregard the Negative comments Mark Dolhonde, not anyone can do what we do. It looks easy and simple from the ground but most people cant even get 10ft up the tree. We all have bad days , we all have experience a dull saw, but that doesnt take away on how good of a climber you are Mark. You do excellent work dude, stay safe and keep posting videos. God be with you every climb!
People aren’t trying to diss him it’s just not a professional and safe way to do the job he ain’t gonna be a bad ass when he messes up one of these days and is either paralyzed or in the ground that’s the way I see it when I am in the tree caint provide for my family or be productive when I am dead mabey be a quick way to do things but not always the best thing to do to show others what we are about and sharpen your saw man it helps a lot
this is how u do this no one one was hurt nothing was damaged what better place to smoke a cig than fifty foot in a tree and still do your job props bro im a groundsman i know this occupation isn't the safest iv'e had close calls anyone who says different hasn't worked it long enough keep up the good work talk shit to anyone topping trees in your neighborhood be safe and look up.
I can't believe you don't use a second lanyard! That's crazy man. Just one slip or spike out when your unhooked. Sorry just makes me nervous watching that.
Doesn't even have to be a spike slipping, doesn't even have to be his mistake (aside from not being tied in), all it would take is a groundie snagging his line at the wrong time.
Oh boy, seeing this takes me back a little ways. Although I admit this shit is stupidly dangerous...me and my brother have done it times upon times before...now having climbing lines and adjustable lanyards, I see how stupid we actually were. More power to you brother, best of luck but please take these folks advice and get some professional equipment👌
It looks like a very dull chain.. or the chain might be too loose. Either way, that thing is not cutting very well. If it was really low on gas, it would lose power whenever you hit the trigger. But since I wasn't up in the tree while this was happening, sometimes you can never know unless your'e actually there.
sharpen your saw mate use your chain brake don't operate the saw one handed make shure your attached to the tree with your lanyard at all times when moving position make sure your ground staff can perform an aerial rescue just be safer mate it is a dangerous job but do it by the book will cut down most of the risk been swinging around trees for years in the UK and get some ballistic trousers on
talk about Russian roulette. only one anchor point and not even a wire core flip line. it's only a matter of time before he hits that with the saw, having said that I don't think that saw is sharp enough to cut a rope.
chainsaws will cut through a steelcore lanyard nearly as easy as a rope one. the steel core is not to resist chainsaw interaction. it's for rigidity. I used to always use a steelcore lanyard, but now I only use it for excurrent trees like this one, because its nice for flipping
@@ArsonistArborist D. Ryan Shaw saws absolutely will not cut through a wire core lanyard anywhere remotely close to as fast as they'll cut through normal rope. I've experimented with that in my garage two separate times. It's not even close to the same amount of time.
@@jacobdaniel8239 there are variable like the thickness of the cable, whether the lanyard is against the trunk where it is hit, how much weight is on the lanyard at time of contact, and the size of the saw. All the wrong variable at once and it will go through real quick. All the right variable together, and will not happen by accident. Always best to treat it as a rope and never depend on its saw resistance. Do i believe a cable lanyard will withstand an accidental saw hit better than rope? Definitely, but not enough for me to consider it a get out of jail free card.
I hope nobody watches this and repeats it. There are several problems but the one that really pisses me off is the lack of a climbing line while you're removing limbs. If you're just tied in with your flip line (safety strap) whatever you want to call it and you cut through it at that height, you're dead. Even if you have to tie the climbing line around the trunk, as you would when pushing off logs, it should be done ALWAYS. Then after you tie in at the top you stop using your safety line. INCREDIBLY STUPID. NEVER rely on one rope for safety. P.S. A butter knife would cut faster P.S.S Why the hell did you tie into the damaged part of the tree at the top. Sure it might hold but there were better options.
For any non tree people that might see this video, this is a terrible example of how to properly/safely climb and rig a tree for removal. If you are in need of tree work, please hire a professional and do some research before you pick someone to go with. They might give you a cheap price, but that is only because they cut corners and are a hazard to themselves, their crew, and your property.
Osha regulations require a 3 point hold at all times. Whether it be two lanyards or not. It can be two spike and one hand. Regardless, this is old school climbing. Typical tie in with a typical 2 over 2 under tautline hitch. None of that new technical stuff. You don’t see many people climb this way anymore. It’s good to see that the old way is still in use by someone other than myself!!
What is the difference between the way he climbs and I'm a new school climber I've been climbing for about 12 years I have climbed this way old school and now with the newer stuff I also use it which makes my job a lot easier on the body so I don't understand your comment or all tree climbers we all do the same thing it's very hard dangerous work gear is gear old school new school everything advances in this world
As an Iron Worker for many years who has worked hieghts up to 1000 ft. I have heard more than my share of complaints and cripes about double lanyards and being tied off at all times. And while I know it's certainly the proper and safest thing to do we all know that A. Sometimes it's just not how we do thing's and B. Everyone makes mistakes. While hanging iron is obviously different from cutting trees I can say this. There were many times when I was actually able to function easier without being tied off. But regardless of that people need to remember It is extremely easy to armchair critique the work of others. For myself I am impressed. Maybe not with the safety aspect of this job but the sheer skill it takes to climb and work like this...My hats off to you. If there is a video like this that shows it being done better I would like to see it....Be safe, live long and may God bless your whole crew
there are tonnes of videos of it being done better. just TH-cam Ace Tree and click any video that's been uploaded by the actual Ace Tree haha. Or, better yet, TH-cam August Hunicke or BixVid
+D. Ryan Shaw Nice video, check out my page I have videos on tree removal and various landscaping tasks. More videos to come let me know what you think.
I got a question, why not the co-workers down the tree pick up the branches after it all finished? It's bit danger to have someone down the tree if something falls. also it should be good have a sign surround the tree to warm the others nearby.
Couple reasons, more work than you think to brush hump all those limps when there in a pile. I also don't think i've ever seen a pile of brush come out without tangling. Silver maples are pretty good tho, long and straight. Most of the time you flop the remanding stem onto the yard, and in 90% of the time, it would be where you landed all those brush trimmings. So if you were to do that, not only are you cutting the main stem, you're also cutting whats under it. More cleanup, more time. Honestly this job was done very good. And people can say oh it's not ANSI compliant and all that. But realistically, climbers aren't in that much danger. "bean poles" like this are the safest and easiest. As to your sign comment, this is in the back yard. The only time "I" think a sign is needed is near a road.
Mark Known Also every worker in the tree service should be looking up, i would say every 5-10 seconds. Thats without the saw going. If you hear the saw, you always stay away.
Can’t spend your pay if your lanyard fails, I know you’ve herd it all before but a tree and money isn’t worth the fall. Not much more time to add a main line friend.
Look, it's a big world with a lot of people. If a guy wants to be disconnected from the tree for a split second...so be it. He's a big boy. Think about people hanging from 200 foot masts in the age of sail. You think they had safety lines...? If you fall, you die, and they chuck your ass into the sea, straight down to the 'odd place'.
Professional Arborist Tree Cutter? I don't this so... VERY UNSAFE like a amateur. The good LORD was watching out for this guy! I can't believe he posted this video showing off how unsafe he is! OMG
Very nervous just watching this,with no regard for safety,dull saw,no leg protection,not being tied in twice,one handing the saw,I could go and on,just so unsafe and very unprofessional.
Awesome video nice work! Sorry for all the rude comments, and don't edit out climbing parts like people are asking, raw footage loke this is best! Yes it's not the safest way to do it but if he felt comfortable then it's ok.
please stay tied in 100% of the time not worth dying for and sharping the chain of get a new one I love to climb and cut trees and to watch videos and I couldn't watch the whole video for fear of u falling
go hard and go home. stop criticising others techniques, and just revel in the fact you are man because of the job you do. now go home and manicure your nails.
no second lanyard, no emergency rope, detaching from lanyard when crossing limbs, lanyard tied with yosemite bowline, chainsaw not cutting... mmmmh... this is really a lot of not to do it things...
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Absolutely
Dull chainsaw and like you say,no second tie in or safety protection for legs
Yep looks like a crack head that’s not how I climb idc how bad ass someone is I ain’t losing my life because I wana cut corners nope and I wanna look professional that ain’t aha
The dull saw killed me, haha.
Is your mainline ARBORMASTER 12 strand?
what about a second lanyard so you would always be attatched to the tree . your life is worth more than saving some time !! I lost a good friend in a climbing fall dont be unsafe the lord is a busy guy he spent all day watching you . Smarten up !!!!!!
carl snow Sharpen saw first.
carl snow it is better do g it that way your climbing line can get in the way
If your spikes slip while you're reattaching that single lanyard you are dead, seems like your chain is on backwards too
So unsafe get a second lanyard always need to be tied in i got nervous just watching everytime you unbuckled
Disregard the Negative comments Mark Dolhonde, not anyone can do what we do. It looks easy and simple from the ground but most people cant even get 10ft up the tree.

So this is what happens on the jobs I lose to underbidders.
Yepp..
Dstrukt2k2 lmfao!! No doubt man.
This video lead me to a 7 year addiction of arborist videos. You popped my ascending cherry. 🤣
this is how u do this no one one was hurt nothing was damaged what better place to smoke a cig than fifty foot in a tree and still do your job props bro im a groundsman i know this occupation isn't the safest iv'e had close calls anyone who says different hasn't worked it long enough keep up the good work talk shit to anyone topping trees in your neighborhood be safe and look up.

hmmm so many safety aspects not followed, as a professional arborist I would be ashamed. but still good job for nothing going wrong
DANGEROUS WORK
If my saw cut that slowly, I'd toss it in the bushes.
1:44 That's enough stupid for me. I'm out.
Awesome video brother
when you gaff out without your flipline on or put a topper through leg(if that is possible the way you sharpen them) PLEASE post that video too.....
One thing for sure this guy has balls! I salute you
That ain’t balls called being careless of your life and others
This is painful to watch. Way to many mistakes to list them all.

saw as sharp as a cabbage and no chainsaw trousers,not a good advert for a tree company in any country,

wow I hope you never get hurt the way you do climb and take Trees down . for god sakes climb with two lanyards and tie in
no professionalism at all. bad example for our industry.
Alfonza's Tree Service, Columbia SC's top tree removal company, provides full service tree removal, used more than once, very pleased
Very true. Awesome video!
I hope nobody watches this and repeats it.

P.S.S Why the hell did you tie into the damaged part of the tree at the top. Sure it might hold but there were better options.
someone should teach u how to rig and climb and to sharpen a saw there is to much,to list u r very unprofessional. it shows your lack of experience.
How come he lowered it to the ground ? Dull chain or run out of gas ?

Nice job Man.
I am getting frightened just by looking down at the ground!

do you have a climb line youre attached to?
omfg...did i actually see him unclip his lanyard to get over a branch? yes i did and i now am finished watching the rest..
If i underwrote tree work, i'd use this as as an exception to policy checklist.
why is he even rigging it down ?
I got a question, why not the co-workers down the tree pick up the branches after it all finished? It's bit danger to have someone down the tree if something falls. also it should be good have a sign surround the tree to warm the others nearby.

Mark Known Thanks, Mark. I've watched your video 2 hours to gain experience how to top the tree professionally :)
Those guys are crazy!! That's so scary if you make one bad mistake you dead!
it's a great view there, I bet it's a really good place to have a cigarette there, haha. :)
Can’t spend your pay if your lanyard fails, I know you’ve herd it all before but a tree and money isn’t worth the fall. Not much more time to add a main line friend.
12 tahun lalu 😮😮😮👍 satu profesi 💪🌲
Looks like lightning damage smart move to remove. Its gonna get beetles anyways at least is the southeast
sloppy,unsafe!!! I hope you are not training anybody EVER!!
Probably a good thing your saw was sharp you b on the ground quick b safe
Isn't this travern?
wow theirs a lo5 of try hards on here saying a lot of mumbo jumbo. But none of you have any videos up doing this . This guy is boss
+monkeyboy8me Might want to check my channel.......
Not a boss he is gonna hurt or kill others and himself not professional at all bad for bussines
Look, it's a big world with a lot of people. If a guy wants to be disconnected from the tree for a split second...so be it. He's a big boy. Think about people hanging from 200 foot masts in the age of sail. You think they had safety lines...? If you fall, you die, and they chuck your ass into the sea, straight down to the 'odd place'.
Good ole natural crotch rigging.And a fearless climber who don't need a whole lot of fancy equipment to get the job done.
Wow he doesn’t carry a hand saw?
that is one dull chainsaw...
3:30 OMG :o ... Stop watching.
I’m also a tree climber I love it, I
sharpen your frickin saw
very unsafe and you need to maintain and get new equiopment... js
Of all the sketchy things, dude, please don't use that bowline on your lanyard. Lots wrong with this one. . .
If you worked for me I'd fire you the first time I see you pull a stunt like that. Just saying.
Professional Arborist Tree Cutter? I don't this so... VERY UNSAFE like a amateur. The good LORD was watching out for this guy! I can't believe he posted this video showing off how unsafe he is! OMG
Love it! Smoke em if you got em!!!!
Great videos man I’d love to see more tree climbing videos if you don’t care to put them up
Oh Boy!
Need to watch that trucker thumb.
Got the right idea @ 17.50 lol.
A lot of comments coming from the me too movement here
Very sad to see a tree killed like this
Is just me but i think that chainsaw don't look sharp enough
Very nervous just watching this,with no regard for safety,dull saw,no leg protection,not being tied in twice,one handing the saw,I could go and on,just so unsafe and very unprofessional.
Fly by nighters
unprofessional...
chainsaw goes down with a brake. cones up without one. what the heck? lol
+D. Ryan Shaw its a different saw
should buy your self a bigger chain saw to that job with then dinky one
+vivitar45 Yeah, like climbing a massive tree isn't hard enough.
Not the saw it’s a climbing saw and that tree ain’t to big just needs to sharpen the chain
Awesome video nice work! Sorry for all the rude comments, and don't edit out climbing parts like people are asking, raw footage loke this is best! Yes it's not the safest way to do it but if he felt comfortable then it's ok.
please stay tied in 100% of the time not worth dying for and sharping the chain of get a new one I love to climb and cut trees and to watch videos and I couldn't watch the whole video for fear of u falling
Warning: Do not try to copy and replicate what you see here, these are awful climbing and safety techniques.
But did he die ?😀
people make shit tons of money climbing. If u have the know how and courage, u can do it
Don’t see a safety
Omg if I called you tommy house and I saw how unsafe you were I'd fire you
scary bad tree work.
Yikes. My dude very unsafe
go hard and go home. stop criticising others techniques, and just revel in the fact you are man because of the job you do. now go home and manicure your nails.
All it takes if for a brushie to snag his rope at the wrong time and hes taking the express way back down.
Lol smdh
Get a bull line an rig big agreed allot of wasted time
If your spikes slip while you're reattaching that single lanyard you are dead, seems like your chain is on backwards too
