I only know from the videos but you can tell jed was that secret genius. He seemed to be one of those guys that had a lot of knowledge of TINY LITTLE details that would.make a world of difference in your work.

I'm 58 years old as of the middle of Nov. I've been climbing trees and trimming them since I was 14 years old I would still be climbing if I was able to walk I broke my neck and back in 3 place's only God knows when or if I'll ever walk again I am staying positive I know that if I could walk again today I know that I can never climb again and to repel down again is heartbreaking thanks for bringing tree work back for me I ran 3 crews I was the one they called to take down the worst ones take care oh and remember that your never to old to learn something new and better than the way you were doing it God bless the climbers
Tree man , best of wishes to you hope all is well. I also broke my back and pelvis and have been where you at . It is amazing what the human body can heal im living proof of it. Hang in there friend , ill be praying for you 🙏 ❤
IF YOU DIED TODAY? HEAVEN OR HELL THE GOSPEL ( GOOD NEWS ) Sin is any bad thing that you've done, said or thought. Everyone's sinned and because of sin no one can go to heaven. Romans 3:23 KJV - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 6:23 KJV - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. God punishes sin with a literal burning hell. Revelation 21:8 KJV - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Romans 5:8 KJV - But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:9 KJV - Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Religion, water baptism, Church attendance or being a good person and doing good works can't save you because no one is good enough to get to heaven, you CANT earn it. Romans 10:9 KJV - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Jesus says HE is the ONLY way to heaven John 14.6 The good news is If you TRUST that the Son of God Jesus Christ paid the penalty of your sin which is death by shedding his blood, dying for you, was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day and are sorry for being a sinner turn to God from unbelief to belief and simply call out to Jesus sincerely, if you believe everything you've heard in the gospel and mean what you say you will be saved and can KNOW you will go to heaven. 1John 5:13, Here's a short prayer you could say - THE PRAYER ITSELF DOES NOT SAVE YOU ITS YOU TELLING GOD YOU BELIEVE THE GOSPEL IT HAS TO COME FROM THE HEART. "Dear God, I repent as a sinner. I believe Jesus is God, who died, buried and resurrected so his blood can wash away my sins. so I only trust in His blood alone to save me, not my good works, save me from hell in Jesus name I pray; amen."
"You got to have fun, if nobody is dead yet" Jed's words 36:40. This gentleman was one fine spirit walking this world. RIP Jed, my condolences to your loved ones all the way from Nairobi, Kenya
ive watched this video over and over, always been a favorite of mine. It's so awesome you got to share all these videos with Jed, it shows just how passionate he was about tree care and more importantly how important his relationship with you and Gordy was.... Boys and there toys!! Keep your head up Buddy!! We miss ya Jed!!
I have been going back and watching videos with Jed in them. He brought a pine cone out for his daughter and is telling them how much fun he is having while missing them terribly, and I am absolutely heartbroken watching it. You hear of close calls and accidents in this industry, and maybe we all tell ourselves it wont be like that for us,we're better maybe or more careful than those strangers, but when I heard about Jed it was a wake up. If him then anyone. It doesnt seem fair, to be so humble, bright and attentive, to be as good as Jed.
Excellent video! My 8 year old son is obsessed with your channel and would love to do what you do when he grows up. (Though it's a toss-up between that and an excavator operator.) He gets to watch one of your videos as a reward when he's done with schoolwork and chores, so I appreciate you keeping your videos clean and appropriate for the younger audience also. He thinks you guys are pretty cool, and now wants to take the Tree Felling Class. :) Keep up the good work!
They're at a class trying to learn, nothing about this is professional. As a professional, if we break that many trees, we gotta find a different profession
@@rationalityfirst sorry, this was from a while ago, I thought this comment was from a different video 😂 Yeah, there's some busted logs there...not that it mattered in this situation, I was more saying that if someone is gonna take a class to try to be a cutter, the class should try to teach them the correct way to do things, not the government approved methods they preach to firefighters

Sam always runs a great store, my dad helped set up his chain grinding techniques back in the day. Awesome to watch y'all kicking it with Jed. Had to watch after hearing the news lately. What an awesome dude, Jed your up with God now. Sad time. Would have been awesome to be out there cutting with y'all for the 3 days. Stay safe y'all.
There are a lot of felling "experts" on TH-cam, but Roy knows his shit. Take your time, throttle easy, look at what you need to do, take the time to clean up your face. All good points that anyone who makes his living running a saw should take to heart!
Awesome content guys, great educational piece! Holla from Vermont! I have a lot of respect for Westcoast Saw, and all of you guys out there cutting the big sticks.
I like it. I learned how to cut timber a long time ago and I was fortunate enough to learn from the best. I took things I learned from different people and put it together. I'm gonna start putting out some content soon. I love it
I am a 78 year old retired fireman, now a full time farmer that thoroughly enjoys watching you tree industry fellows do your thing. The wooded area on our farm, located approximately 30 miles south west of Portland, Oregon contained the stump remains of very large old growth that history tells me was logged in the 1930's. It was great to see you fellows taking on and doing a fine job felling trees in a category close to those of the stumps on our farm. Our stumps ranged from six to ten feet or so in height, with diameters at the cut ranging from 8 ft. to over 12 ft.. After looking at the springboard notches for so many years, this video gave me possibly the closest view of what it would have been like back in the 1930's logging our land. The greatest difference wound be using chainsaws versus misery whips and axes to bring those big ones down. Very interesting and enjoyable video, well done! Nick, North West Farmer
That's my best friend, Roy, right there!!! I can't believe that 20 years ago when we were always hanging out all over our southern Oregon mountains progressed to right now, with Roy all being a super star professional & me writing about my famous friend on youtube!!! I've never seen anyone who can fall a tree (any tree) like Roy!!! Love ya, buddy!!! R.I.P. Jed!!!
Great video brother. Makes me want to take a summer off and go west. I love being in the woods. Nothing compares to a hard day of work in the woods, or in my case for last 20 years, on the ocean.
@@DrHavok1 the original shop location was in Centralia proper, the new (err, 20 years now) location is on S Gold about halfway between Centralia and Chehalis.
@@madhatte73 It's less than a mile from downtown Centralia. I stop in often, on my way home from Oregon or points south to Shoreline. I've been friends with Sam Madsen for years. We both ski and like photography. My first modded saw was an 044 by Madsen's. 1990's...
BIG saws , big bars , big dang softwoods . 60 yrs old , had fun watching "young bucks" . i have cut simple home firewood and repaired saw since somewhere near , 1982 . when you gents talked of comparing east to west , excellent points and also add in arborists have even another perspective , but the keyboard krazies still gripe on . thanx . great vid . i remember the FIRST 880 i saw at BOONEVILLE NY : 088 model i believe . never got to handle as ignition failed!! someday . lasy i ran , 090 monster so many year ago . keep up good work . my amazement still ; how well a little piece of half pound platic can move TONS and talk brutal beatings .... TTYL
can't tell you how much watching your content has inspired and informed me. I'm an old dog trying to learn about cutting and felling to maintain some property in VT and I am grateful to have you as a source of info through your posts. Also condolences on the passing of your friend Inbred Jed.
At least someone is doing the Forest management on the coast. Those big ole trees have souls man. It's cool to watch the respect that goes into the falling.
Thank you very much and yeah the managment is pathetic. These mountains of old forests wouldn’t be burned down if it weren’t for the environmentalist banning commercial logging
So true brother. It's pretty sad. Thanks for the knowledge. Your humble approach to your trade is refreshing and fun to watch. It gives me a lot to think about when I'm out getting my firewood.
I need to see more on how you guys do your back cuts. Bore cutting over bar size stuff is standard for us. Looks like you guys had a blast. And great channel and awsome content
Ok, I have been in my particular profession for most of my life. ~20 years so far. Watching you guys makes me want to change careers. That looks so very dangerous, but also fun and satisfying at the same time. Love these videos. Liked and have been a subscriber for several months now. You always put out the best content.
If I was a young guy Id be on the next plane to USA to join your team. What an awesome job that would be. You are a great bunch of guys with a great attitude and respect for each other. Bravo.
Respekt to your Work at these Big Trees... Your teacher make it great... In Germany we dont practice the Humbold, but it is very good and interesting for me... I'm a fan of our Videos... And sorry when my English is not so good! Stay safe and go on your way, its a good way!
This video is so bad ass. I’ve watched it 5 times from start to finish. The music and editing are on point. You knocked this one out of the park Jake. Great job!
Reg Coates does the best and biggest trees safely . August brings up # 2. # 3 goes to bucking Billy Ray. As for putting a smile on a ones face BBR gets # 1 hands down August pulls in # 2 Reg has a dry sence of humor and that ain't changing . Reg also gets the safety award for never dropping out of or never getting dropped on by a tree . Making bank goes to to August's crew flat out . that dude has been blessed by the one who knows trees better then anything or anyone . All three are great guys to learn from . Lets face it , you can learn from anyone if you want to . just my honest opinion and I don't cut trees for money . I have found another good channel to learn from. Be safe and watch out for them giants falling out them trees .
It's amazing what the fire does to those trees. Some burn up from the inside out, and others get so cooked they just explode when they hit the ground. Awesome footage.
Great video. Live and work in Grants Pass...been cutting since the late 70s, use to cut some great timber around here, lots of 3 log loads...now we just burn it up...pretty sad...thanks again
Sad what Kate and the cohorts in Salem have done to the logging industry over the past few decades. Tens of millions of board feet of wood rot away every year in Oregon because of the insane policies set up by our state government. Not sure which fire this was but there have been many in the last few years that they could have easily put out when they first started only to let them burn hundreds of thousands of acres and let it all rot. Yet the environmentalists want to blame those of us working in the industry for everything. Sickening seeing all these wasted trees.
That's hilarious! You think the logging industry has been ruined by the government?!? The government and environmentalists didn't cut all the good timber. Private timber company greed is why big timber doesn't exist anymore. Just look at Google maps, the only big forests left are in the state and national forestland. Private timber companies cut fir at 60 years old. What a shame! They put on more and denser growth per year between 100 and 300 years old! I'm a hippie and a logger who's been to forestry school and learned much. Our mass clearcutting practices are raising the soil, air, and water temperatures, reducing water mass in the forest causing more and hotter fires, ruining our salmon spawns, destroying elk, bear, deer and every other animals' habitat. The only business holding onto forests for more than 80 years and cutting selectively are the government forests.
Unfortunately,I have to give bad news. I hate to say this,but Jeb was just killed while falling a tree. He was struck in the face and died immediately. Jan 20th 2023 RIP Jeb Walter.
Good video. I got into woodcutting for my wood stove. Hurricane Hugo came by a year after we moved in. I purchased a Stihl 038 AV Super with a 36” bar and took an oak off my roof. After the house was fixed I had lots of friends who gave me firewood. The pattern continued for 32 years and Ash, Oak, Cherry, and Hickory have been keeping me warm. I bought a new MS311 and a MS170 7 years ago and sold the 25 year old 038 for half price of new. The MS311 is lighter and as I age it makes a difference. It’s bucking last weekend’s harvest of storm damaged trees. The MS170 surprised me. I bought it for yard trimming and small trees but it took an 80’ pine off my lake house roof. The 16” bar handled it really well and the tree was carried off 4 hours after we started. If I were in my 20s instead of 70s I’d love to go out west and cut some fir or redwood. I know the guy from PA must have had a great time. Thanks again for a terrific video.
Just done a 3-day medium tree felling course (CS32) last week. Not as big as these ones though! Double cuts though, to pass the CS32 you have to use a small bar (16" max on 380-560mm trees) so you can't cut through all the tree diameter all in one go (as that would be cheating!). Got my assessment on Thursday! (England) Looks like you guys had awesome fun. It was only me and the instructor on mine!
Just recently done my felling assessment for up to 15” dbh trees, while they’re not big it’s a first for me and the biggest thing I learned from this was “throttle is timing, take breathes and take your time”
This is a lot of fun to watch. I can only imagine how much fun it was for the guy doing the cutting here. I'm envious! My grandfather cut timber in Salmon Arm, BC in the 20s, and I remember him talking a little about that life.
I really really enjoy your attitude man... All the guys you've had in your videos so far too... You guys would be a lot of fun to work with. I'm really glad I stumbled across your channel.. Keep it going please 😁
Great Video! Thanks for taking the time to video it. I’ve learned so much from your videos. I’m cutting toothpicks compared to the trees your cutting but I’m using the same principles and so far they’ve all come down safely and where I wanted them to. Before watching your videos I was a hacker, breaking every rule in the book. I look back and am amazed I’m still alive. There’s nothing sweeter then seeing that perfect hinge! Thanks again! You all Rock!
Loved seeing the toe board, my pop used to cut timber like that back in the 1940s n 50s like that. Him and his partner used to work the big trees together in new Zealand. They used ropes for hoisting up fresh saws only no safety lines. Then he worked the mill. He was super strong till his heart gave out at 80 yes old.
We have some old growth trees down here in Tasmania, Australia and Ive seen a few vids on falling them, but Id have to say this is 1 of the best vids on this subject that Ive seen in a long long time. My hat goes off to every1 of u guys. Im more than impressed with your fellowship and comradery. Keep up the good work.
The Styx Valley, past the township of Maydena, about 100 kilometres north-west from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia is often damp, cold and foggy. It is also home to the world's tallest flowering plant and one of the world's tallest trees - the eucalyptus regnans, often called mountain ash or swamp gum. These towering gums are thought to grow to 100 metres or more, with the tallest living tree on record being Centurion in Tasmania at a confirmed 99.6 metres (327 feet). It would be good to see u guys down here to get an eye full of these living monsters.
Mate, these blokes would not have a hope cutting our wood. King billy would be about on par with what they cut. Like to see them cutting some knarly peppermint or blue gum. They wouldn't know what was wrong with the chain. Totally different animal is Tassy timber. Cheers from Hobart
Such a nice memorial to your friend. When my daughter was in high school, her best friend’s father was killed the same way. My oldest son is trying to start a tree business. He watched hours of TH-cam videos. He was trained to climb trees in the USFS to collect cones. But he also is the World’s 1st Deaf B.A.S.E. jumper and has been packing tandem parachutes for the last 8 years. He been with many friends who have died BASE jumping. Tree climbing seems just as risky. He climbed a few of mine this winter in helping me thin my forest. As a mom helping, it’s not easy to breathe. Love your channel and watching it is something we can do together and discuss. We live in Pend Oreille County, WA
You guys and your charismatic personalities are amazing! From the quality of the footage to the choice of tunes playing in the background is just right! I truly feel blessed to be able to learn a ton from yous and watch videos that depict knowledge that less than 15 years ago were only shown in books and in the field. I can most certainly say that you are saving lives, simply by showing tips and tricks that benefit everyone - from the professional to the simplest of weekend fallers. Thumbs up 👍 from Quebec, Canada!
Dude thank you for posting this. As an East Coast faller I dont run into many like this but I have a few on an upcoming job that need this type of cut and this is so valuable for my safety and my accuracy for these lumber logs. Thanks brother I really appreciate this ❤❤
I love how you guys support and help each other. In the Hispanic side of arborculture is almost all about who is the strongest, or who is better, or who is the best. Really sad stuff.
Not trying to sound racist, but I've seen that too! Though, I never did this part. I mainly built the shells and skeletons for houses, sheds, etc. It always felt like the Hispanic dudes (even though they were really nice outside of work) wanted to just do the whole job on their own. Myself and the other white guys ended up being driven out by the majority of Hispanic dudes. Really sucks, because some of those projects were so much fun, and we would have done a much better job if people left their ego at the door.
That's not in any way racist, just honest. We all need to get used to speaking freely, it's how we can overcome differences in cultures. Props Man, I hear you.
WOW!!! I wish I would have gotten into tress younger. I will take anything up to about 24" diameter as a hobby but I LOVE watching this!! Man!! True artisian.
Younger? I'm 63 , and still climbing the biggest ones around, and taking them down. Your pic looks like you are all of 45,? Anyway, just messin with you. I jus got no sense.
@@scruffy6151 Wow, sorry to hear that. I just stay scared all these decades, don't turn much down, but def won't do the ones that will get you hurt/ killed.
@@treeguyable I still get around under my own power but, my body has taken a beating. Between cows, houses, cars, trees, mechanic work and falling of the roof my body just does work right lol. I still do things just don't play with chainsaws anymore. Still kicking just not as high lol.
@@scruffy6151 Yea, been wrenching 45 yrs, motor t in the Marines. Now, with my fleet of crap, it never stops. Never had a bad fall, but I know they are usually a life changer. Take her slow, enjoy that morning coffee.

Yeah, he puts out some really awesome stuff
The wealth of knowledge and intuition in their collective heads is astounding! Good ole 44

Madsen's in centrailia WA. Awesome place
Is that unusual?
YOU FELLOWS ARE WAY AWESOME..THANKS A BUNCH FOR TAKEING ME ALONG WITH YOUS...
MAY THE CREATOR ALWAYS BLESS EACH OF YOUS ....
Centralia kid here, been a Madsen's customer 25+ years now, always happy to see them get a shout out, best saw shop around
madhatte73 Never seen anything like that, mind blowing inventory and I would be like a kid in a candy shop there!
So it's in Centralia then.. Nice I can't wait to go... I'm from Shelton
@@DrHavok1 the original shop location was in Centralia proper, the new (err, 20 years now) location is on S Gold about halfway between Centralia and Chehalis.
@@madhatte73 It's less than a mile from downtown Centralia. I stop in often, on my way home from Oregon or points south to Shoreline. I've been friends with Sam Madsen for years. We both ski and like photography. My first modded saw was an 044 by Madsen's. 1990's...
One of the best videos i watched in my entire life. Watched it like 5 times already and i really miss Jed tho i never met him.
36:40 - "Well it's, you gotta have fun, nobody is dead yet" - Jed Walters. RIP. You had fun right until your last breath. Life of a legend.
He died doin what he loved. He will always be the best timber man.
Wow the learning experience alone from this video is out of this world!! I can only imagine what you took from this.
"Gotta have some fun nobody's dead yet" rip jed
Thank you for your hard work for all of us continued success and May God watch over you are a special breed of people that we admire and respect.
BIG saws , big bars , big dang softwoods . 60 yrs old , had fun watching "young bucks" . i have cut simple home firewood and repaired saw since somewhere near , 1982 . when you gents talked of comparing east to west , excellent points and also add in arborists have even another perspective , but the keyboard krazies still gripe on . thanx . great vid . i remember the FIRST 880 i saw at BOONEVILLE NY : 088 model i believe . never got to handle as ignition failed!! someday . lasy i ran , 090 monster so many year ago . keep up good work . my amazement still ; how well a little piece of half pound platic can move TONS and talk brutal beatings .... TTYL
Hi guys, another fantastic video,, poor jed, always get the flack😂😂😂👍🇬🇧❤️
can't tell you how much watching your content has inspired and informed me. I'm an old dog trying to learn about cutting and felling to maintain some property in VT and I am grateful to have you as a source of info through your posts. Also condolences on the passing of your friend Inbred Jed.
Damn, that cutting was epic. Pretty gnarly when some of those trees hit the ground and just shattered.
Greatness! Roy Hauser and his team are excellent. I also highly recommend The Art of Felling Timber. Really enjoy your videos!
"Are you excited, Jed?"
Jed: "Yea."
"Jed's excited." 😂
😂😂😂
Only a short grunt would've topped that
That was one of those stand-out videos that you rarely see. I'll be looking at it again.
Color me there next year. The music selection is actually perfect.
Great bunch of fellas and a great bunch of felling
I’m going to binge watch this for about 6 hours then go cut every damn tree behind my house lol
lol
Good luck Justin. Have fun !.
Make sure you plant a few. Trees are the best!
I was thinking the same some times I work on properties that need trees droped
😂😂
Inbred Jed, love the nicknames loggers give each other 👍😎
Roy is a great guy, and I love how the class brings a great group of folks together. Awesome video
Perfect school setting for anyone dealing with trees. Congratulations to all of you.
That’s a fine piece of filmmaking. And the Guys Who Cut Down Trees store was amazing!
Congrats ON YOUR ADVANCED FELLING Great videos
I miss you jedd it's so sad what happened RIP JED
At least someone is doing the Forest management on the coast.
Those big ole trees have souls man.
It's cool to watch the respect that goes into the falling.
Thank you very much and yeah the managment is pathetic. These mountains of old forests wouldn’t be burned down if it weren’t for the environmentalist banning commercial logging
So true brother. It's pretty sad.
Thanks for the knowledge.
Your humble approach to your trade is refreshing and fun to watch.
It gives me a lot to think about when I'm out getting my firewood.
I need to see more on how you guys do your back cuts. Bore cutting over bar size stuff is standard for us. Looks like you guys had a blast. And great channel and awsome content
RIP Jed. Great video.
Ok, I have been in my particular profession for most of my life. ~20 years so far. Watching you guys makes me want to change careers. That looks so very dangerous, but also fun and satisfying at the same time. Love these videos. Liked and have been a subscriber for several months now. You always put out the best content.
If I was a young guy Id be on the next plane to USA to join your team. What an awesome job that would be. You are a great bunch of guys with a great attitude and respect for each other. Bravo.
Respekt to your Work at these Big Trees... Your teacher make it great... In Germany we dont practice the Humbold, but it is very good and interesting for me... I'm a fan of our Videos... And sorry when my English is not so good! Stay safe and go on your way, its a good way!
Truely, this is the best video I’ve ever watched on TH-cam !! Amazing team !
Johnstown, PA my neck of the woods. Cool to hear the different perspectives East/West Coast.
RIP Jed, just a brilliant mind and a swell dude.
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Loved the music, loved the photos, and loved the positive attitude.
Take your time... do a good job... and most important... stay safe...
This video is so bad ass. I’ve watched it 5 times from start to finish.
The music and editing are on point.
You knocked this one out of the park Jake. Great job!
Thanks man:)
It is truly a pleasure watching someone who loves what they do.
Jake, you need to make a road trip to see Buckin’ Billy Ray. He cuts some pretty big stuff.
Was just gonna comment that
Please make it happen Jake!
And hes a pro in doing the domino thing
That would be a awesome video!
Reg Coates does the best and biggest trees safely . August brings up # 2. # 3 goes to bucking Billy Ray. As for putting a smile on a ones face BBR gets # 1 hands down August pulls in # 2
Reg has a dry sence of humor and that ain't changing .
Reg also gets the safety award for never dropping out of or never getting dropped on by a tree .
Making bank goes to to August's crew flat out . that dude has been blessed by the one who knows trees better then anything or anyone . All three are great guys to learn from .
Lets face it , you can learn from anyone if you want to . just my honest opinion and I don't cut trees for money . I have found another good channel to learn from. Be safe and watch out for them giants falling out them trees .
Keep sending these videos their an excellent teaching source 👍🤙🧗♂️
It's amazing what the fire does to those trees. Some burn up from the inside out, and others get so cooked they just explode when they hit the ground. Awesome footage.
It looked like the beetles were pretty bad too.
RIP looked like a great man it's crazy watching a video and knowing that he's passed life is crazy
Great video. Live and work in Grants Pass...been cutting since the late 70s, use to cut some great timber around here, lots of 3 log loads...now we just burn it up...pretty sad...thanks again
Sad what Kate and the cohorts in Salem have done to the logging industry over the past few decades. Tens of millions of board feet of wood rot away every year in Oregon because of the insane policies set up by our state government. Not sure which fire this was but there have been many in the last few years that they could have easily put out when they first started only to let them burn hundreds of thousands of acres and let it all rot. Yet the environmentalists want to blame those of us working in the industry for everything. Sickening seeing all these wasted trees.
That's hilarious! You think the logging industry has been ruined by the government?!?
The government and environmentalists didn't cut all the good timber.
Private timber company greed is why big timber doesn't exist anymore. Just look at Google maps, the only big forests left are in the state and national forestland. Private timber companies cut fir at 60 years old. What a shame! They put on more and denser growth per year between 100 and 300 years old!
I'm a hippie and a logger who's been to forestry school and learned much. Our mass clearcutting practices are raising the soil, air, and water temperatures, reducing water mass in the forest causing more and hotter fires, ruining our salmon spawns, destroying elk, bear, deer and every other animals' habitat.
The only business holding onto forests for more than 80 years and cutting selectively are the government forests.
The country owes you everything for what you do for us May God keep you safe and your timber large.
"inbred Jed" That alone is worth a sub and a like
Read this as he said it definitely a sub
Sweet home Alabama
Unfortunately,I have to give bad news. I hate to say this,but Jeb was just killed while falling a tree. He was struck in the face and died immediately. Jan 20th 2023 RIP Jeb Walter.
Good video. I got into woodcutting for my wood stove. Hurricane Hugo came by a year after we moved in. I purchased a Stihl 038 AV Super with a 36” bar and took an oak off my roof. After the house was fixed I had lots of friends who gave me firewood. The pattern continued for 32 years and Ash, Oak, Cherry, and Hickory have been keeping me warm. I bought a new MS311 and a MS170 7 years ago and sold the 25 year old 038 for half price of new. The MS311 is lighter and as I age it makes a difference. It’s bucking last weekend’s harvest of storm damaged trees. The MS170 surprised me. I bought it for yard trimming and small trees but it took an 80’ pine off my lake house roof. The 16” bar handled it really well and the tree was carried off 4 hours after we started.
If I were in my 20s instead of 70s I’d love to go out west and cut some fir or redwood. I know the guy from PA must have had a great time. Thanks again for a terrific video.
Just done a 3-day medium tree felling course (CS32) last week. Not as big as these ones though! Double cuts though, to pass the CS32 you have to use a small bar (16" max on 380-560mm trees) so you can't cut through all the tree diameter all in one go (as that would be cheating!). Got my assessment on Thursday! (England) Looks like you guys had awesome fun. It was only me and the instructor on mine!
hope you got on ok bro! Did my cs30/31 in November and loved every minute of it!
Yes both. It a lot fun watching it. You guys are awesome!
Just recently done my felling assessment for up to 15” dbh trees, while they’re not big it’s a first for me and the biggest thing I learned from this was “throttle is timing, take breathes and take your time”
This is a lot of fun to watch. I can only imagine how much fun it was for the guy doing the cutting here. I'm envious! My grandfather cut timber in Salmon Arm, BC in the 20s, and I remember him talking a little about that life.
“We gotta have fun if nobody’s dead yet”
Well said jed hahahaha
Roy is 1 of the coolest guys I've ever met!! Him and his team are the best out there!!
I really really enjoy your attitude man... All the guys you've had in your videos so far too... You guys would be a lot of fun to work with. I'm really glad I stumbled across your channel.. Keep it going please 😁
Great Video! Thanks for taking the time to video it. I’ve learned so much from your videos. I’m cutting toothpicks compared to the trees your cutting but I’m using the same principles and so far they’ve all come down safely and where I wanted them to. Before watching your videos I was a hacker, breaking every rule in the book. I look back and am amazed I’m still alive. There’s nothing sweeter then seeing that perfect hinge!
Thanks again! You all Rock!
"Rate my hinge" LOL! Now that's a good learning experience.. damn scary.
.
Started watchin ye guys while back. Sorry to hear about Jed. Hope his loved ones know loads people love his spirit.
Loved the video
I loved it when the sap was coming out of the tree
I want to become a tree cutter like you in the future
IM always learning something from your videos. I really like how you explain things.
This is satisfying to watch and great music selection
Loved seeing the toe board, my pop used to cut timber like that back in the 1940s n 50s like that. Him and his partner used to work the big trees together in new Zealand. They used ropes for hoisting up fresh saws only no safety lines. Then he worked the mill. He was super strong till his heart gave out at 80 yes old.
Lol, he says " oh I NEED ONE " hahaha, hell yes.
I enjoyed this video. I wish a little more tutorial, that instructor had alot to offer.
Hats off to you Boss's.....and I LIKE seeing JED.
thank you
We have some old growth trees down here in Tasmania, Australia and Ive seen a few vids on falling them, but Id have to say this is 1 of the best vids on this subject that Ive seen in a long long time. My hat goes off to every1 of u guys. Im more than impressed with your fellowship and comradery. Keep up the good work.
The Styx Valley, past the township of Maydena, about 100 kilometres north-west from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia is often damp, cold and foggy.
It is also home to the world's tallest flowering plant and one of the world's tallest trees - the eucalyptus regnans, often called mountain ash or swamp gum.
These towering gums are thought to grow to 100 metres or more, with the tallest living tree on record being Centurion in Tasmania at a confirmed 99.6 metres (327 feet). It would be good to see u guys down here to get an eye full of these living monsters.
i come for the area of QLD the sunny coast has may plantations
@@TassyDeval if you can get to em without the greenys catchin ya
Mate, these blokes would not have a hope cutting our wood. King billy would be about on par with what they cut. Like to see them cutting some knarly peppermint or blue gum. They wouldn't know what was wrong with the chain. Totally different animal is Tassy timber. Cheers from Hobart
@@glennbrown1961 I give these guys a lot more credit than you do. Im sure they would be up to the challenge.
Such a nice memorial to your friend.
When my daughter was in high school, her best friend’s father was killed the same way.
My oldest son is trying to start a tree business. He watched hours of TH-cam videos. He was trained to climb trees in the USFS to collect cones. But he also is the World’s 1st Deaf B.A.S.E. jumper and has been packing tandem parachutes for the last 8 years.
He been with many friends who have died BASE jumping.
Tree climbing seems just as risky. He climbed a few of mine this winter in helping me thin my forest. As a mom helping, it’s not easy to breathe.
Love your channel and watching it is something we can do together and discuss. We live in Pend Oreille County, WA
That was just badass brother..nothing like here in MICHIGAN lol..love the teaching videos still an experience
You guys and your charismatic personalities are amazing!
From the quality of the footage to the choice of tunes playing in the background is just right!
I truly feel blessed to be able to learn a ton from yous and watch videos that depict knowledge that less than 15 years ago were only shown in books and in the field.
I can most certainly say that you are saving lives, simply by showing tips and tricks that benefit everyone - from the professional to the simplest of weekend fallers. Thumbs up 👍 from Quebec, Canada!
Inbred Jed was like a kid in a candy store. (Jed thinking) "How can I make this class a challenge." lol
Haha yes 💯
Dude thank you for posting this. As an East Coast faller I dont run into many like this but I have a few on an upcoming job that need this type of cut and this is so valuable for my safety and my accuracy for these lumber logs. Thanks brother I really appreciate this ❤❤
I love how you guys support and help each other. In the Hispanic side of arborculture is almost all about who is the strongest, or who is better, or who is the best. Really sad stuff.
Not trying to sound racist, but I've seen that too! Though, I never did this part. I mainly built the shells and skeletons for houses, sheds, etc. It always felt like the Hispanic dudes (even though they were really nice outside of work) wanted to just do the whole job on their own. Myself and the other white guys ended up being driven out by the majority of Hispanic dudes. Really sucks, because some of those projects were so much fun, and we would have done a much better job if people left their ego at the door.
That's not in any way racist, just honest. We all need to get used to speaking freely, it's how we can overcome differences in cultures. Props Man, I hear you.
WOW!!! I wish I would have gotten into tress younger. I will take anything up to about 24" diameter as a hobby but I LOVE watching this!! Man!! True artisian.
It's like a guided hunt for big trees, ha!
Rip jed you're a legend
If all i had to do was fell them that truely would have been a fun day when i was younger now i just watch young cutters do it still fun watching.
Younger? I'm 63 , and still climbing the biggest ones around, and taking them down. Your pic looks like you are all of 45,? Anyway, just messin with you. I jus got no sense.
@@treeguyable lol. 64 and many mishaps along the way took me out. That's just the way life goes sometimes.
@@scruffy6151 Wow, sorry to hear that. I just stay scared all these decades, don't turn much down, but def won't do the ones that will get you hurt/ killed.
@@treeguyable I still get around under my own power but, my body has taken a beating. Between cows, houses, cars, trees, mechanic work and falling of the roof my body just does work right lol. I still do things just don't play with chainsaws anymore. Still kicking just not as high lol.
@@scruffy6151 Yea, been wrenching 45 yrs, motor t in the Marines. Now, with my fleet of crap, it never stops. Never had a bad fall, but I know they are usually a life changer. Take her slow, enjoy that morning coffee.
It’s awesome to see that they allow the next generation come to these things 😀
