Just a tip when saying Husqvarna. It is two words, "Hus" = House and "Qvarna" = Grinder/mill . So first say Hus then Qvarna/Kvarna. Cheers and thanks for the show!
Great video Jacob! Sondre is learning a lot from you. It is too bad you can't stay to help him complete the job. I hope Sondre will some day soon be able to come to U.S.A. and fell one of our larger trees. It's too bad we can not help him get a chipper.
I never thought I’d spend 30 minutes of my day on a Tuesday night watching some guy named Jacob from Washington cut trees in Norway with a kid named Sondre but hey here I am! Started watching when you were at east side and was thinking about getting into tree work over here in southern Maine and I haven’t stopped watching. It’s cool to see how you approach different trees with minimal or extravagant equipment and it’s super entertaining. My girlfriend doesn’t get it but all my buddies do lol. Keep up the great work man and I’ll keep coming back to watch
Glad to have you!
At my previous residence, our neighbor had a yard work/landscaping business. Part of the business was removing trailers full of branches and brush. Since he didn't want to pay to drop off at the dump, he'd make huge piles and burn them. We're talking 10-20 foot diameter and about as tall. One day, my wife heard and felt a huge "BOOM". The house shook, the windows rattled. She went outside, and behind our neighbors house was a huge plum of black smoke. We later found out from a different neighbor that they were up on a ladder painting, probably 15-20 feet up on the side of a house. The power from the blast nearly knocked him off the ladder. Over a 1/4 mile away. Turns out the neighbor had another huge pile of brush to burn and he poured so much gas on it, the resulting blast shook the neighborhood. As much empty space as you have out there in that pasture, I'm pretty sure you could safely do the same. Anyway, great fun watching you in Norway. Such a great experience for both of you.
Gasoline is terrible for lighting fires because of that very reason. Diesel on the other hand is pretty good.
He was an idiot and, He was so tight financially, that is taking a shit just cost a nickel he would throw up first. And a nutshell this, This fella was a scumbag
Next time use PARAGRAPHS! PARAGRAPHS!!
Great to see you working with what you have rather than all the gear a lot of people don’t have. Old Skool methods.
I like that you show your mistakes, such as then carabiner almost being opened.
logger from norway here. started watcing your channel 3 weeks ago.. suddenly you're in Norway .. love it..
I'm new to the tree game, I've been landscaping for a while. Myself and many others in my spot would appreciate any how to's you make. The ones you've made in the past have been super informative and helpful. Keep up the strong work
Let me know anything specific you'd be interested in and I'll see what I can make happen!
@@GuiltyofTreeson wow you replied that's so awesome, here are some of my interests, anchoring to a spar safely, determining weather or not a tree is safe to climb, and working around power lines. I'm in California and work on a lot of palms. A little about me i work for my local fire department as a firefighter and a paramedic and have a small busines on the side. I started climbing a few months ago during my research i came across your channel and since have learned a ton from watching you and going out ans trying it.
Also if you still have contact with him in Norway tell him to get a grapple for his tractor if he doesn't have one already. It will save a ton of time and work. I have one on my tractor and its awesome!
@@GuiltyofTreeson Can you recommend a good knot tying book? I'd like to know how to tie knots better in general. While watch you tie bollens is informative, I don't have any rope near by to follow along. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
What would be also very useful is kind of a minimal setup with the least equipment you could need. Like using only ropes and knots, then the mechanical devices. Shown in action.
We all started with little to no gear. It's fun to watch all the different aspects your in. Norway looks like a beautiful place.
It’s amazing I live 15 min away from shreiner tree care in PA and I’m 21 growing my business so it’s great to see that much respect!
I live in pa too and work for a tree company as well👍
Don't know if it's just me, but I found it interesting to watch you working with minimal gear, think it might be helpfull aswell for people new to climbing to see, as they might also not have as much gear yet, so you have to get creative. Also I for one wouldn't think twice about driving the tractor there, the time he waste on driving he'd more than get compensated for by how much quicker it is to clean up with a grapple crane, not to mention saving his back.
I agree as a new climber I still at time get overwhelmed with things so it’s always good to learn something and make sure you understand it completely with the good and bad times
Yeah definitely. Driving the tractor there would definitely make sense, and then have a big ass bonfire💪🏼
It would take a lot longer with the tractor and in Norway most roads especially out in the country are only two lanes so you would be blocking traffic the entire way. Some sections of road don't allow tractors, for example long stretches of tunnel (very common in Norway). That would means super long detours over the mountains.
I Drive tractors at work and all roads around here (Sweden) are only 2 lanes and ofcurse I make the trafic go slower behind me, but that's just how it is. There are no tunnels here though thankfully, but even if I'd have to take a one hour detour I'd consider it worth it, since I know how heavy branches from spruces are.
That 572 is a ripper. We got ours from a frie truck dealer. Full wrap handle extra large pull cord. Ported by dyno joe and some aftermarket parts from Gordy. Ie. 3 point dogs
Travels to ancient Scandinavian village - doesn't ruin old building - mission accomplished.
surprised by the power and endurance of those small electric saws! Also: so many gems of knowledge
That's the difference between a $150 Home Depot battery saw and a $1200 professional battery saw.
Love the travel videos. Like your honesty and openness as you tackle the trees.
The dogs are probably "missing" on the 572 due to the different limbing technique we use in Sweden. At least how I'm tough, you should rest your oil tank on the tree while delimbing. And it's totally impossible to use dogs then because u want to slide the saw on the log. It's a guess but I can't use them dogs the way I cut.
I am only 2 minutes in and I am already thoroughly enjoying your video. Your travel videos are top notch.
The first tree i ever climbed and cut down was a 36" DBH spruce that was so close to my brothers house it was denting the gutter. I had even less gear gear than you guys rigging with my climbing line just like you are doing. Not letting a lack of gear get in your way is part of the job i enjoy just as much as getting a new piece of gear Haha! Love the the videos!
Dude.. i'm not a climber.. and while i've snatch blocked several trees out of the woods.. id love to see some rigging videos.. both in relation to climbing and in general "things you can do with this" regarding tree work. There are a lot of us out here learning on-the-fly. I'm also requesting a flipline, saddle, and spurs for this holiday season. We've got 120 acres, tall trees around the house, trees over fencelines, near utilities. I got several that need climbed but not 100k to spend on climbers :-D
That's almost exactly my situation
Been hangin with randy too much he’s taught you his ways lol
props to the young lad for getting stuck in to the job. that's how you learn fast
Running bowline or make sure your caribeaner is a locking one and yes like Jake says back of the beaner against the tree. Stay safe fellow tree guys!!
Great video nice to see you teaching someone some tricks of the trade
I think its so helpful how you explain your self in all your videos and yes please do a porto-wrap video
When Sondre wants another American Climber I'm ready for Norway 👌
Never thought I'd sit and watch something like this, and here I am enjoying myself.
Jacob did you tough toe your climbing boots? That’s so awesome you’re traveling now and doing what you love to do! I was just in Hawaii also climbing for my friends company. It’s definitely different from working in Washington. lol I love the trees we have here in Washington but definitely would be fun to travel and see/climb all these awesome species of trees!!! Climb high! Climb safe!
So dope to see a dude with your reach using electric saws. Before we know it they will be making ‘em big enough to compete with the big 2 strokes.
Yet another great video Jake! What an adventure in a beautiful place. Such rich history!
Glad you left the gear for him.. you’re leading the way - showing others the way🔥 foreign travel always pays dividends 🔥
Fascinating! Really cool to hear you talk your way through the work.
I'm an apprentice arborist and have only been practicing with a semi-experienced climber for about 3 weeks, it's so great seeing Jacob more or less taking up a teacher role for someone, very informative videos!
Its exciting excellent work eh ? I'm the ground man on a 2 person arborist crew, my buddy climbs and I deal with the rigging, bucking, cleanup. Love the work as it's always something different and demanding, go home soaked with sweat everyday. Stay safe out there, and greetings from B.C, Canada 🌲☀️🌲
Ah this was an eye opener! We need to find a way to help this young man do his job right! I don’t have the financial means to do much but I can certainly pray the good Lord provides a way to send this man proper equipment to do tree removals. Jacob is right we are spoiled in America. Gotta share the wealth! This was a good video. Cant wait to see part 2!
I would use trail technik in this situation. You start climbing at the spot where you want to drop the branches. As you go up, you only cut branches in the way, cleaning only a trail trough the tree. Once you get high enough to where tip is small enough, you drop it trough the trail down. As you climb down, you cut branches near the trail and drop them trough it. Those that are further away are cut slowly from the top until they settle on those bellow. You cut them completely off, and pull them towards trail droping them in with cut first. If they deviate from this they hit branch that will knock them back in, or further from tree into cleared space. I think this would save a lot of time.
That looked stressful but fun. A little thinking outside the box without the tools. That’s a ton of cleanup. Stay safe
Hey Jake, great videos. @ 22:58 you show his canopy anchor which looks like a sling with some climb line and a friction hitch. You should let Sondre know to have a stopper knot below the hitch. Be safe!
Hey Jake! New climber here. I would love how to’s on rigging, port a wraps, the lot. I just recently got my own climbing gear, petzl saddle, zigzag, cambiums, the lot. Only thing I need to invest in in the future is spurs, and “work” gear. Ropes, grcs, slings, pulley’s, etc. I would love every single but of info you have on them. Genuinely dont care if its edited or not. Like the video you did (1,5 hours I think) on all the gear you own. Something like that. Just put the camera on, throw out all your knowledge about this certain subject, and stop recording when you’re done talking. Saves you lot of edit time, and gives us a amazing video, full of incredibly knowledgeable information. I’ve also started saving up money, to hopefully be able to guest you over here (the Netherlands) one day, and do tree work. That would be freaking amazing if you’re up for it :) Many many thanks in advance, and much love from a big fan of your channel. Keep up this amazing journey man. Its very very enjoyable watching you!!!
I’m glad I was taught a lot of the old school methods of tree work I like using some of the modern stuff ports wrap a zig zag rigging rings I do so speed line stuff but I also do a lot stuff basic I feel a lot guys atleast that iv worked with spend a lot time setting stuff up when it’s not always needed.
Good job and good description of what you are thinking.
Learned A lot about tackling different limbs to manipulate fall or hinge direction.
Great job Jacob. You did an awesome job on your commentary throughout the video. Beautiful country there. I love the farms and mountains. Similar to New England.
Wow, he has a really big job ahead of him. Too bad he can't find a guy to work with him there. Great video Jake !
Another video couldn't wait buddy God bless Jake hope all is well stay safe my friend
Your channel is growing so fast. Good for you.
Sondre should definitely start a company importing gear to Scandinavia if no one else is doing it at the moment.
So few people would ever post, let alone talk about doing something “the non osha way” but everything you said is true, with tree work it’s about getting the job done with what ya got!! I’ve seen some old school dudes knock down monsters with a leather belt and one rope 😂
With sappy wood... I never need gasoline to burn it. I just use my propane torch to light it and an a few hours it's all gone!
I'm enjoying these videos with Sondre and the having to rely on technique for lack of gear.
go to the austrian alps next! it's beautiful there
Love that he shows hitting the house 🤣 never get bored of these videos arborist life realism 🤣🤘
I think this is an underserved niche. The majority of tree guys (and gals) work in a small business with minimal gear; certainly a minimum on expensive machinery. Having videos that show how to get the work done efficiently with little gear would do more for the community than showing a crane job with skid steers and chippers.
Nice work! I couldn't afford allot of the equipment for tree work when starting out. How ever I am a qualified mechanical engineer and welder by trade so I make and spice my own whoopie slings and built a portawrap like the rc2000 but way more heavy duty even had it nickel plated too! Keep up the great work!
You know what cool is that it goes to show building quality equipment last forever the majority of equipment they built nowadays is crap all plastic an cheap metal. Idk why so many guys think just cause it’s new it better
Great video to watch seeing as how this is how I do the vast majority of my removals out here in Colorado. Gotta love starting your own company with not much more than a dream. I do mostly falling so this is how I climb haha. Old school 🤙
Great team work, looks like you are having a good time
I enjoyed this trip! Good stuff
Perfect... I don't have all the rigging equipment but I'll make it work
Awesome job Jacob . 👍
@Guilty of Treeson I was wondering if you could do a video on what a person who wants to be a arborist needs to start out
the experience he gets from having you there is like next lvl . Priceless. you should sell youre experience here in norway and travel around teaching. we just know what spruce is and birch. the rest is just smallscale. only other tall trees are Ash wich is mostly alive here in norway
This is very interesting being in Norway.❤
Always enjoy watching ur vdos .stay safe 👍👍
Well done jacob n sondre!!! Husqurvana r legends!!!! That lad will go far, solid work ethic, might be worth him going the states an working for one of those decent size firms youve worked with just for the learning experience. Could buy some equipment and mail it back aswell! Great video, thanks for uploading!!
Great work Jacob! As valentin vogel wrote earlier, the tree doesn't look like a Norway spruce.
And in Scandinavia, They don't pronounce "sauna" "saw nah". It's closer to "Sow Nah"
yes, its more likely a sitka spruce. Which is a non-native/invasive tree species in Norway that has been planted on the west coast for forestry
What was the music you used in Tree Work World Tour! Year 1 Recap. Been trying to figure it out for some time, only found your new channel recently and have been wondering since the dead maple removal.
Cool to see you in Norway! Great videos as always. 😎👍 Can i ask what brand of saw you like best?
7:27 almost got ya Jake 😮
How ya clean it?🤔🤔 Idk🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ Ahahahah this trip has been gold 🙌🏾👌🏾 I drove past the Pa job you did at the church a few times for Shriner had a morning conversation about the whole project 💪🏽 pretty dope for you to be putting the homie on game and really hands on training. as well as seeing/living another custom way of life
Anyone else hear the bloodcurdling screams and possible chainsaw noises at 3:10?
Good afternoon, I want to order an arboblock from a turner, what type of bearing should I use? Thanks for the answer.
I took down a 100ft willow this summer. How did we clean up the brush? MASSIVE fire.
For some, those limbs can be bucked up for firewood... they're dense, so they burn really well!
Nice job Tube 🥗!! Norway spruce in Norway!! You be careful in that tree.
you should carry a 32mm ring and a revolver carabiner on your harness, then you can always make a quick 3:1 for limb walking on SRT
Nice video. You need to send Sondre online to get some gear though. Is a huge climbing comunety around were he live as well, so should not be to hard to get some rigging gear if needed.
Hey Jake when you tied in for SRT you're spliced eye was hanging from your running bowling if you would clip a carabiner through the spiced eye and clip it back to your rope that'd be a backup right so it could never slip out just curious I just thought about it when I seen it and I might do that if you think it's legit thank you
Good videos, entertaining and educational. You have been in Norway for a few weeks now, how does it compare to the usa?
How can we help Sondre get some gear? A bunch of us chipping in 20 bucks could help this young man out a lot.
Thanks for the rigging lesson. .My preference would've been to cut them all down . best to have em on the ground and hire a tractor to rip em apart.
Do you maybe know how much full wrap for 462 stihl cost🤔 in my country even stihl dealers didnt selling them😒
Yeah, we are spoiled, but to be boldly honest, United States has created a lot of Safety Standards that most countries outside of our shadow, have taken up as their own standards. And with newer technologies, has equaled the playing(cutting) field for all treeman and Arborists. Great video, thank you Sir.
those stubs filled with pitch?
Great stuff ..you need a monkey beaver carabiner / sling pack with zipline..
Lovely work, it is very satisfying to watch details make the difference in outcome. Lots of firewood in those limbs, nobody wants that?
If I had to guess, I would say the difference a wire-core flip-line and a non-wire-core, is 2-3 ounces, tops.
if you ever need to convert meters to imperial units 10 meters is the same as 11 yards
Wood is heavier because it grows muuuuch longer and it's much more dense
Awsome video 😎😁
that building is old but not the roof. Theres plastic under the dirt. They probably repared it at some point and put the old rocks back on. and the dirt isnt there because its old, its what we call torvtak. its for insulation and wear resistanse.
That is a corn crib. Just like the one I used to get feed out of .
brush mostly on one side, wood chunks mostly on the other side
Jake, somehow you've built two KZhead channels that far exceed 100k followers in no time at all, yet here is August just getting over 100k after years of making videos. I don't get it. August makes outstanding content! I don't understand it.
Excellent!
Did you explain to Sandre that OSHA is not a small town in Wisconsin?😄
Nice video. This doesnt look like a spruce though. Looks like abies alba to me. Are you sure its a norwegian spruce?
You might be right. Wikipedia says these were planted on the westcoast of Norway from early 1700, and together with other Abies spicies are scattered along the whole coast way up to the polar circle.
Thought the same, would agree on abies alba. They do not look like picea abies, at least.
I am pretty sure it is Abies Alba.
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
💪
Very Nice 👍
Hello,nice to see you here. Hope all is well
@@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648 All is well, may Jesus bless you my friend
💪💪💪
To keep the theme going you guys should have gotten a horse to pull brush and logs.
