Fun vid, I liked the Beranek math. Like you, I do all by gut (plus a few key moment tricks of english and varying openness of the notches etc.) Love your style and skills 💪🏼
Thanks man I appreciate it coming from you!
@@guiltyoftreesoneastsidetre4792 you two got the best trees haha. Not quite the same over her in the UK
Add a little hand flip to get the extra rotation if needed is always fun
Much appreciated for the tips have been watching you guys for a min keep up the great tips God bless and roping is for ice cream lol
Should we assume a 45 degree traditional notch...probly...
The most detailed explanation of how to divide the height by 5 I've ever seen.
🤣
My mans got a clip board and coffee up in the tree.. hilarious
@Briguygotnicethighs I just got to this scene, broke out laughing, went to comment on it, and saw yours. He's a comic genius in the making 🤣
I’m laughing way too hard lmao
Just like a desk job, except 80 feet up in the air.
I was laughing through the entire "class"! 😂
How he get coffee up there?
I usually have the guys send up some bacon and eggs with my coffee, not paperwork ! 35 years of tree work and I did learn something today. I always eyeballed it but never knew the math but I know the depth of the notch is gonna affect the flip also. example,,,, breaking off and jumping too soon from a shallow notch affects the flip...........Great tutorial guys ! Be safe and GOD bless
Cracked me up when you wrote .25 then scratched it out. 20% is .20
Just giving you a hard time. Much respect for you all taking the time to make these videos. You all are down to earth yet professional. Thank you.
Haha 😂 yeah I realized that as soon as I wrote it 🤦♂️
Love your attitude bro. Self corrections and not hiding from mistakes. Makes me happy to watch and learn from you
The angle of the face cut sets the momentum and speed of rotation. The wider the face cut, the faster the log will rotate end for end off the stump.
Makes sense!
Also, A Humboldt will rotate the log more slowly than a conventional notch of the same angle.
I have become a big fan of G of T. This Tree Vlog reminds me of explaining the Food plots this season to our daughter... I know exactly what you are saying...yet you know full well...some people; NO fault of theirs... have the 1000yd stare... she just looked at me and said "Where are we clearing and can I use the Chainsaw"
Never had math taught to me using a stump 64 feet high and having coffee!😂
Hi sir
I had read this in the book.. the fundamentals of tree work..
But this let me understand it a lot better...
Thank for breaking it down with a visual and not just talking about ratios..
Thanks again
No problem! :)
15:00 [Simple remove 2 legs from a 5 legged stool] if there is no wind]
Let F = 4 * Radius / (3 * Pi)' Centre of gravity for semicircle
in other words your F(acecut/undercut/notch) only needs to pass this point (NOT halfway) for it to commit.
If you don't believe me; experiment with a length of log (instead of your sample cookie) or take 2*(5-4.244)≥1.5 legs off a stool with 10 legs. The weight due to height will supply that required "external" force. The greater the height of the cookie, the greater the "external" force.
Part of safety is to keep your chainsaw sharp. Less cutting on the notch also reduces fatigue, allows for angle readjustment, removal of Dutchman & time working at height.
i was concerned u wasn't going to explain the deepcut but i was very wrong lol. i been on the job 18yrs this year. nice to see guys like you taking responsibility for what you teach. nice one mate. 3 very important cuts that can have massive implications ether way. think twice and cut once
This video was so enjoyable to watch. I laughed so many times. Love the content!
Great video! It'd be interesting to see what someone like Matt Parker, a stand up mathematician, or Dustin from Smarter Every Day would do for a video explaining why it's 1/5th.
Humor and honesty, can't go wrong with that
You can just take the height of the tree and divide by 5. Lol great channel guys! Love it! Keep it up. Thanks
Not really cause each cut changes the height of the stick. The logs get shorter each cut. Each cut, multiply the new height times .2
That sounded like some common core math...lol. All jokes aside, love your attitude, work ethic, and all the great content. Keep up the good work.
Great video Jacob! Something my friend Paul taught me which helped me fine tune my style. Over 50’ slowing the spin with a hand or notch to achieve 270 degrees and below 50’ speeding up the spin to achieve 270 with wide notches or an influencing hand and a little practice works like a charm. That said Maine and Alaska don’t have quite the trees your locale does, however we have big pines and I’ll land 20” wood when possible. Be well
Thanks Troy! ;)
Nice job. It takes a good bit of guts to post tutorial videos. I think you did a fine job and explained it well.
Please tell me this was supposed to be funny. I don't want to offend you because I think your videos are awesome. I found this hilarious and yet instructive at the same time. The coffee was a great touch.
I don’t even climb trees but after pinching a saw two days in a row on the farm I need to watch all your videos 😁
Isn't Math great when you can actually apply it directly to the job your doing! Thanks for putting yourself out there! Enjoy your videos! ; ~ )
Thank you!
@@guiltyoftreesoneastsidetre4792 Im more of a daredevil. I think you should have them turning twice before they hit flat. lol
Thanks man for shareing the details!! Share is Living!!!
As soon as I saw the coffee cup on the spar I hit subscribe! haha so funny. Great videos! Keep em coming!
Good video the math bit in the middle of the video helps as I’m thinking of going into this type of business if I can’t get into the military
Alright who poured you the coffee? Always enjoy watching a pro.
I loved your math class. It was fun and engaging. I liked the visuals you added.
Keep the videos up my guy there really entertaining
You explained it very well, thanks!
Oh my. As a math teacher I found this lesson interesting. Lol. Because of the view. 😂 20% by the way is 0.2 as a decimal. 😂. You are an awesome tree surgeon. Math teacher... 🤔. Lol. Keep the videos coming. I love them.
Great videos. Very educational! Nobodys perfect. You do the best you can with what you have at the time. Thank you and keep'em coming please.
@11:55 I drop big fat logs on the lawn daily... sorry to bring poop jokes but it cracked me up.
Haha 😂
You guys are awesome! Love the video!
the coffee was a great touch lol!
You might not be good at drawing but you're really good at cutting down trees
Thanks man that was awesome!! Learned a lot!
Cool if your trees are straight ... nice to see!
Always need a cup of Jo when working through a problem at the top of a tree...
Hahahahhahah
Man, I did tree work for years, and the beginning was bang on. That was too good.
Love your videos. Yu explain everything so clearly.
I'm watching this on my PC and I have a subwoofer attached to my sound system ... Love the sound of the chainsaw - I have a battery powered saw, and I have a Stihl FS 56 RC - love the sound of the motors.. I miss the sound when using my battery powered chainsaw because there's no revving to warm it up..
Love the content😂👍
Dig the humor along the way too!
Nice teaching moment, thanks for your time
The log that landed flat you had not pushed with your hand [distorting the fall a little]. Have you ever tried the snap cut? Two horizontal cuts that overlap each other in the middle. Smaller offset for larger logs. You then snap it off and send it in the direction you want it to go.
Great work man. Thanks for the video!!
I've been taking trees down like that for 15+ years, and I never knew the 20% rule! Ha! Nice one!
The 1/5 rule is a good starting point but if you want to get precise it’s actually closer to 18% than 20% try it out and thanks for the video
That was very educational the math mad perfect since thanks!
Best math class ever
Ok lemme help you a little to find 20% multiply by .2 (100ft tree ×.2=20ft log) and I think you weren't achieving flat log flipping because of the deeper notch. I think because of the deeper notch it allowed the log to rotate sooner up in the tree. Love the videos! Great humor under pressure!🤣
You crack me up doing math at the top of the tree. Why not using your calculator apps on your phone 📱.... so much easier lol. Love your videos, keep up the good work !
Haha 🤣 that did not even occurs to me
Makes sense to me. Thanks for de-mistifying it.
This might be my new favorite channel lol
Wow!! he explains better than my math teacher 😂💀no lie it’s true. Love your vids it’s always fun to learn everyday 😁.
Great tutorial video 👍
Math class was good, thank you for working your best through it! Here's the thing; coffee, paper, mug, clip board, cubes, pen.... all at 80' > wicked!!! @guilty of treeson > what are the cubes for anyway
Correction; just made it to the current tree section > doing it at 60' is still baller
They’re little math cubes my wife uses for homeschooling our kids :)
thumbs up for trying to explain the math, just take one firth the length of the tree initially and the the keep taking the one fifth of the remainder each time , im guessing.
By my calculation you nailed it 20% (1/5) .25 erm .20 of the time
You just got a new sub also because your drinking coffee at the top that’s awesome bud!
Nice work! Love the video mate.
You sure are calm up there. Nice vid
I use a Pez dispenser... great stuff brother
😳🤣 Coffee and clipboard!🤣
wouldn't the angle of the relief cut change the rotation speed? the faces come together giving the log a kick? Nice desk btw.. the coffee was a nice touch..
Great video, good quality ! What camera are you using to record the footage ?
I got a stupid question could the impact of the sticks affect gaslines or such just curious or would it depend on the soil it's landing on keep up the good work salute
It made sense 👍🏻 very interesting job I'd like to get in to doing this.
Thanks for the explanation :-)
I love it lol tree guys doing math
Nice.😆 😆.💪
My guy had a lazer and a tape measure and said he was off on his measurements. A real tree guy he is
First, I love these videos! I have been watching a lot of these videos lately since we had a tornado come through our area here on Easter night in Chattanooga TN and so many trees have come down or have been mangled and need to come down now. I already had a small Stihl 023 which I love but recently went and got a larger Farm boss 271 just for occasional use, nothing like what ya’ll do. I now have an interest in learning the different cuts to use on trees and when to use each one so your videos are great to watch and educational. One more thing, on the log you dropped which partially hit its end in the ground a little, could that maybe be due to that 20% being more like 12.8 ft instead of the 13 ft which you marked and used? I am guessing this is not an exact science but just thinking out loud. Keep the vids coming, you guys are great at what you do!
Watch out for twisted blow downs under pressure, they can spin and defy gravity in any direction instantly when cutting
Can you do a over view on your equipment please
Hahaha was that top screaming on the way down?
I'm having flashbacks to middle school math class seeing those blue blocks
Any reason you don't use a Humboldt undercut? Less chance for the log slip back.
So you say if you cut off one fifth, it will rotate one and a quarter turns as it falls four-fifths of it's height. That's very cool!
I’m 12 and your math made sense
It was a good video, but the math was a bit rough. It would also be worth mentioning that dropping a 1/4 of the length almost always results in an end plant. Beranek is a good source for the ratio of piece length to fall rotation (but he doesn't explain it up in the tree with a cup of joe like a baller). Keep up the good work and stay safe
1:34 nice
how did you get that coffee all the way up there.its magic i tells ya
U did very well explaining that
I'm just wondering man, what spurs do you wear because I have an old logging pair with leather and after an hr my shins are killing me and I can't wait to get out of the tree. Great videos. Keep it up.
Gecko Carbon Fiber 👍🏼
@@guiltyoftreesoneastsidetre4792 thank you. They look way more comfortable. Thanks for replying and for making PNW look good.
I want to know how you got that coffee cup up there? My groundies would send me up a mostly empty cup connected a large wad of rope that would take me 10 years to untangle. Lol
Haha I pulled up the cup and a thermos and then filled the cup at the top
That tree was solid.. Coffee was glass still, not a single ripple. I was digging the tree top class room! Original. The coffee was over the top and made it awesomest.
So as the tree height decreases, from 80 ft to 64 ft, did you take 20 percent of the new height? Or maintain the 16 ft increments of the original height?
Question: why don’t you drop those logs on the treetop and branches you cut before? Then most logs don’t even reach your lawn.
would using a Humbolt cut make them land better?
How did you get the coffee up there without spillage ?
You also don't want to spike the tops when you blow them out bottom cut
Maybe since you’re cutting more than a third of the way through it’s hanging up a little bit and causing it not to spin it’s full rotation.
Loved your tree top relax but show the flip please .
Maybe this is a stupid question, but let us say you have a 50ft tree. Rule of 1/5 says to cut off 10ft. OK. now, the rest of the standing tree is 40ft. Is my next cut the same as the first, another 10ft? or is the next cut 1/5 of the 40ft rest of the tree, 8ft?
It would appear the tree would never truly be cut down at that rate...
Great ... Understood Teacher ...LOL
OK just want you to know that somebody caught the Hap Johnson reference at 4:50
Awesome video's man! Are you yelling 'Headache' when you chop those pieces?
Yes because you will have a headache if it hits you 👍🏼 that’s what everybody yells at least in the region in which I work
@@guiltyoftreesoneastsidetre4792 Haha that's awesome! Right on. Love it. Great content you're putting up! I would love a gear walkthrough! That harness and spike ropes are so dope.
I loved it
From a scene in Topgun. Are you a good logger? Answer: Yes. Comment: Good then I don’t have to worry about you making mony as a math teacher 😂. But yes, he is a very good climbing logger.. Respect 🤓
If I got math like this in my times I would not be a failure in life
Can you tell us how you got a cup of coffee up there
Hi do you make stickers like the picture you posted at the beginning or the video
Your math made my head hurt lol. Dude even had 1 gram cubes, converting grams to feet is difficult🤣
