I work with Joe from JL's Tree Service as he removes a giant 100 year old tree from the back of an urban property which is past it's prime. For safety, the tree is removed and recovered for 1 year's worth of firewood. We use a giant crane, a wood chipper, chainsaws, grappling trucks, and more to make quick work of this massive Norway Maple tree.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle. - บันเทิง
Joe seems like a great boss. “You can never do enough for your employees”
Oh! Ya beat me! I was just gonna say something about that! I hope lots of people heard that, and take it to heart!
Yes… totally agree. Sounds like a great guy 👍
That Vermeer chipper is made an hour from me in Pella Iowa, home of Pella windows.
Nothing more satisfying than making firewood. Some say fishing or hunting, but that's hit or miss. Never missed a tree in my life!
I agree!
I was about to clean and do some work around the house... but obviously I have to put that off to watch a new episode! Thanks man ;)
Mad respect for treating workers right. Get these guys in more videos, for sure.
Another good one Kevin. My grandfather taught me to split wood exactly like you do. He was watching me split wood once when I was 17 ( I'm 58 now) he watched until I think it was painful and he had this way of twitching his cheek when he got irritated and finally said "boy. You split wood like old people make love; give me that axe" he proceeded to split from the outside in and it was nothing for a 78 year old man to split a 75yearold tree in no time. I later learned old people make love ' slow and sloppy'
It's fun to watch professionals at work
USA is Proud of Canada's Truckers & Farmers...USA is joining...Thank You Canada-Thank you USA
Great to have a friend like Joe when you can use some firewood. That was a tree!!!
You got that right!
Seeing decent sized branches go into the chipper breaks my heart a little, too.
doesn't it... the bigger the chipper the less firewood I get.. ;-(
@@ModernSelfReliance So what happens to the chips, wood pellets for pellet stoves or composted? We had an Alaskan yellow cedar taken down by a service, and our logs were about 10 foot long and some friends had a chainsaw mill to make boards and a few slabs for making furniture... the wood was a bit pricey so my sister was into getting it set up for air drying... I had worked in a lumbermill that did both air and kiln drying.
@@ModernSelfReliance I just ordered a baby Solo Stove Lite... yesterday. .. impressed by how small of dry bio fuel I can use ...when I prune the apple trees the smallest twigs get dried for fuel. I have even tested them with wood pellets for heating a wok. And and old pine that we left a 10 foot stump standing for a decade or so was rotting enough where had to take the half whiskey barrel flower pot off the top of it... even the woodpeckers lost interest in nesting in it. The stump rotted to the point where I use the dry rotted wood for bio fuel for cooking in my Solo Stove camp stoves... they are ridiculously efficient at burning. A wok with a lid on the Campfire is maybe a bit heavy for hiking, but yard camping I can cook a lot on it.
@@ModernSelfReliance My sister wanted a couple slabs for shin buster tables like I helped my mom do about half a century ago... slab drying... the kind of project you might do...
@@ModernSelfReliance hitting stuff in trees, I am retired from working in a lumbermill, Douglas fir and Hemlock mostly (native to Puget Sound region of Washington state).... I did get to have a 6 foot long piece of shrapnel land a couple feet from me when one of the quad mill bandsaw blades blew up hitting something like the railroad spike I took out of another cant hit a blade... not fond of the fools that spike trees. The spike was almost cut through, but those bandsaw blades were 6-9 inches from teeth to back of the blades... they lost a few inches from sharpening. I helped change those bandsaw blades (2 people to change them).... memories from watching the video.
Don is such a laid back dude
Kinda crazy how enjoyable that was. JL, Tommy and all that crew were impressive, as were the competitors. Both are winners! Thanks Kevin. Great episode. Nicely edited too.
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s always a treat when Joe makes an appearance. He is clearly a professional and his team is a bunch of solid dudes. Tommy is a beast but I think Kevin beat him with technique. Thanks again for the positive content.
That crane operator is a maestro, an artist, a genius. So careful, controlled and accurate. It's like watching a genius at work.
Great episode! You guys are a hoot, so is Legate and his team.
I miss eating lunch with a bunch of guys. Some of the best times of my life were spent that way. lol
Joe is the kind of friend to have! That is a haul of wood!!!
All those wood chips look like excellent free fire starter
That was super cool and interesting. Shout out to all the tree technicians who are so skilled and amazing.
Someone is always going to want your wood. Nice of Joe to give it to you.
It's the first time I see firewood collection this way. Thank you Kevin to bring us the great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
We all need friends like Joe
The wack off was epic ! So much fun to watch, it's a tie ! 😊👍💕💕💕
Great episode, you guys work awesome together and good to see Don in the mix.
Good to have friends with connections. That will be mega wood for you. Interesting watching the guys doing there thing cutting trees down. Thanks for sharing
Кевин, спасибо за видео! Очень интересная и сложная работа! Все парни молодцы, настоящие труженики! Браво всем!!!
Thanks for Watching! I Had to use Google translate!
Kevin did the WINNING!!!
Jesus that was a huge tree. Props to the crew that took it down safely and for taking you a long.
Also....much love and respect to your Canadian truckers✌❤🇺🇸
You are living the dream man. I love watching your videos after I get home from my crappy retail job and after I get my kiddo to sleep. Favorite channel I've come across in 2022!
Hi from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else thank you for sharing brother
Thank you Kevin for the Education and thank Joe for us, learned a lot of information I did not know, in the States we just call it cord wood, most of us didn't know there are many different units to measure cord wood, I enjoyed this video very much, until next time, stay safe and healthy, peace my Brother.
You will have no troubles in the future in filling your spare time, referring to the giant chunks of wood to be cut and split. Nice work.
Joes enthusiasm threw me off at first. Now I think he’s amazing.
I think Don won out on the firewood here. You may have gotten more firewood, but splitting this is going to really suck!
My word, these are brave chaps. That was something to watch that tree coming down 👍🌷
4:07 - Giggidy Giggidy (sorry, I couldn't resist).
Hi, love all the videos. Thanks for sharing them. You have the best attitude towards your projects etc. So, cool. Always enjoy seeing what you're working on next. Thanks! Take care 🙂
Glad you like them!
Only thing better than splitting wood.?.watching someone else splitting wood! Thanks Kevin, good stuff.
Love this vid- as much as I love watching you and Don (and sometimes WoodBeard) build cool and crazy stuff on your property, I personally love the tree and firewood material, and from Florida there’s not much need for that much firewood - not for heating anyway. Probably a unique perspective on my end… but I will say I can’t find firewood anywhere for the past 2 weeks, and tonight is the first night in … YEARS… it’s gonna be below freezing.
Still loved the whack off and general tree and firewood stuff. Also thinking some of those pieces would make great tables, etc!
Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?
Great video! So interesting how they take the huge tree down around all the houses. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 😃 I'm subscribed to Joe's channel also.
That was so kool to watch that hugh tree come down piece by piece and realize just how heavy each piece was and think about how much damage it could of done if it cracked and actually fell on one of the houses! So since we didnt get to see it, what happened to the stump? Did someone come and cut it lower? Did it get ground up? Pulled out? Blasted out? Too bad it had to come down but I get it. All the damage the snow and ice can do to crack and split the tree apart year after year. Poor tree it had a good life.
They come back at a later date and grind the stump out.
I figured it was something like that hopefully not long if either family has dogs, cuz if it were me, I'd want that fence to go back up right away. Nice job tho I enjoyed it especially the chop off between you guys that was fun.
That tree stump would make an incredible coffee table. My grandfather used to work in a lumber camp in Labrador back in the '50's and made a table with a similar sized maple tree. I can remember as a little girl, 5 or 6 years old, my brother, cousin, and I would count rings to try to figure out how old it was. We always lost count. My parents have that table now, and one day it's going to be mine.
I've saved it and it's drying for just such a project.
This video was crazy fun to watch. Watching those big chunks go over houses via crane was scary. You always crack me up.
Gotta love the Kevin and Don show.....
Great Guys doing Fun work.
Great episode! The whole crew were amazing and that was a truly majestic tree at one time, as was Betty White 🌳🧓
That storm trooper safety visor is dope AF!
With that bowl of cereal reminds me of Saturday mornings and cartoons
I don't know how to text that number
Something about those huge logs floating over the house made me really nervous. Great work guys. Joe is top notch.
Glad you enjoyed it
LOL, I loved the remark, "There's a guy in California going what?" I use to be that guy. Then I moved to Spokane WA.
Make a beautiful table out of the stomp 👍😎🇨🇦
That was a massive tree that you helped your friend Joe with. Holy Cow.
Haha hey I am that guy in CA. Too funny. JJ is funny. Hope he makes more spotlights.
chip woods will be good for your no dig vegetable garden
man you guy never stop gotta respect that getting it done
Ha ha ha ! You guys are awesome !!!
The whack-off was impressive. I'd probably die of a heart attack if I attempted that :)
The large pieces would make a awesome 1 piece table. Carve it out.
And no hydro on that side of the road, that's a plus :) Fist bumps from Rockwood :)
Those big pieces could be a dream material for a woodcarver. Wouln't rush to saw them in blocks for spliting.
Finally got a Eco Fo River. This is my emergency backup back up electrical. Your use of Eco Flo systems showed me that the system will provide electricity for my CPAP.
Kevin I see where you were wanting the branches I would also want them they can go into bed sets log cabin ones or just starting the fire for the first time after drying on out!!! Glad your keeping the other things those will come in handy on the homestead with something hahaha I KNOW IT WILL FIND IT'S WAY TO A PLACE !!!
Wow Kevin way to keep up with the younger guys, Nice work and great video, Thanks.
Supporting the Canadian Truckers 😁👍❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧
I like to split green wood in the winter when it's frozen. It splits easier. I cut a red elm (rock elm) that started growing in 1865. Count the rings on that maple and let us know how old it is.
Winter 100%! Best time for splitting!!
I see some maple flooring. Can't wait to see what you create out of the big pieces!! Cool.
Nails... Piles of nails.
@@cmosphoto1 Augh! Too bad. Say, does Don know how popular he is? Is it a challenge keeping him humble?
@@jennifertucker107 he thinks it's weird.
you know if you could do make a table out of that pease of trunk that would be gorgeous
There is never enough wood! 😏🤤
I am in Florida, firewood sells for $85 a cord, so you just saved a weeks worth of groceries there...lol Awesome stuff though, the tree service industry has been very busy everywhere, we see alot of onsite mulching going on though, by Morbark machines. Love what you're doing ❤️
You might be able to make a swinging chair with those cables
Those tree guys are awesome and boss man is cool af seams like a great guy to work for
Thank you for cheering me up. I love your show. Irene
Any time!
Fun episode! I appreciate the great boss vibe of Joe and that “Whack Off” (😆🤣🤣 ) contest was cool! Re: the rope- As soon as I saw it, I thought - build a second treehouse and make a rope bridge to connect them… if you got enough rope?
They are short pieces... I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with them.
@@ModernSelfReliance bummer! But I am sure you will think of something cool. Maybe a family size hammock?
@@christinevr7698 Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?
@@ModernSelfReliance big enough to use in making a bed or cot in one of the house builds...stretchy might make a comfortable bed, I used duck cloth sewn into a tube and placed between two water pipes in notches in the top of two beams stretching across the bed ledge in my old F250 truck '69 the two cots once padded made excellent vacation bunks... that from time to time would get loaded with several hundred pounds of firewood we were allowed from the lumbermill (old 6x8 pile bottoms used to stack loads on that could not be remanufactured because of embedded rocks and rot) I could cut 8 foot lengths and load them into the truck on top of my beds. Not sure what kind of loads you put on a strap beds... but those straps might have some strength left in them.
Cool video there Kevin and I like Joe's hard hat too. Gotta check out Joe's channel now also. Nice to see Don get lots of wood from that old tree. That was one huge tree there.
GREAT!
I work with that same chipper it can take 18 inches
In Montana when we sold firewood for awhile in Great Falls we used face cords. Used Bush cords the rest of the time.
I bet that is one relieved homeowner (plus his neighbor) to have that tree down and safely away.
This was alot of fun.
It is satisfying watching somebody else work. Have a great week!
I find it funny that you guys call them bush cords.
WOW
That is one really big tree 🌳 😄👍💕💕💕
Hello from Minnesota USA! That's alot of wood!
Is this a legitimate reply from modern self reliance???
Lol I'm that guy in northern California. I used to use two cords 4X4x8 to heat my house each winter.
I’d love to have one of the stumps , they are beautiful and I’d like to think of something to do with it 👍😊
that was a fun vlog adventure nice job on scoring the free fire wood and lunch out of the deal
Glad you enjoyed it
Another good time!! Thanks Kevin!
Love your videos! How about building a wooden playground? :D
Keep on trucking..
X
Look forward to a rewatch when Joe puts his video on 👍👍👍
Dude Kev is Bros with everybody
Don showed up for his well deserved burger
That was cool, y'all got a lot of fire wood
I do love a Double entendre.
I counted 23 and 19 pieces.
You should take some of those wood chips for the smoker and you tiny fireplaces.
Wow that was cool that your friend Joe ask if you could use some wood and Don getting in on this also very cool.. goes to show you it does matter who you know . Everyone got a piece of the job.
Everyone helping out is getting rewarded.
I wish more people were like that in the states. Btw I love all of your videos.
I was worried for a while, then Don showed up
Wow that’s a big tree.
