I applaud you keeping the rope cut in the video. It's so important for other climbers to see. You rock man.
Every time I watch these I cringe when they get the blade near their rope. Very disconcerting
Congratulations on surpassing the old channel. I have been following you since the viral how to fell trees video. You don't give yourself enough credit. You have worked hard and are a master of your craft.
I couldn’t agree more with your comment my friend!!
What happened to the old channel?
@KhaanMan66 east side tree works took it over when he started making money on KZhead. He has a video about it.
@@scubapro54 hbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb😅
And now 2 months later. Your at 531k. More than doubled
Jacob, please get a second lanyard around that tree. I’m getting anxious watching 😅 I know you know what you’re doing and we get comfortable doing this job everyday but it just takes a small slip or your mind wandering and boom, you’ve cut your only line and that’s you done. I’ve come close before. Stay safe man
Yup. Redundancy saves kids' dad's lives, and also wives' husband's and mothers' sons' lives.
He had a second one or he wouldn't be with us. It seems that the rope got caught on a nub on the other side of the tree so while it looked from his side it was low enough however on the one point out of sight it was still hung on that nub.
@@josephnewman9175 he only has a second one from the top down. He went the whole way up cutting with only one. A major no-no.
TECHnically, spikes and lanyard counts as 2 points of attachment. As terrifying and not-something-i-would-do as it is, its certified.
@@imkonky spikes definitely do not count as a second point of attachment 😆
that stringy moss looking stuff on the branches is called usnea. It's a type of lichen that'll grow only in areas with really clean air! It can actually be used medicinally to treat the lungs and reduce fevers and a ton of other stuff but it's a pretty cool thing. Love your videos man, definitely the most relaxing and informative arborist channel I've come across. Happy new years :)
lol as soon as he said "moss" I was like "nope, that's lichen". Shoutout to Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't for that little piece of knowledge.
Bless you!
Did not know that. Thanks for sharing. At 63, this Month. I'm tranable
What would you do, if all Tree Guys, had 4 legs? Now think how that would change sports...
Indigenous people used it quite often for multiple purposes.
Congrats on surpassing the old channel! Youve put in so much hard work here, you deserve it and way more!
And Jake I know you know what you're doing trust me I've been cutting for 20 years you are very good at what you do just please if you could try to either double safety in or something on the way up when you're cutting I know it's a pain but man I would hate for a mistake to happen you know what I mean something that takes two seconds could save your life I used to do it but now I used 2 always when I'm cutting God bless buddy
Amen. Redundancy saves lives. There are too many people that would suffer if you suddenly fell.
@@happycamper6352 God bless you're 100% right
I was thinking the same thing 🤔. It is possible to cut your steel flip line. I've cut my climb line only once and I learned that slow and steady wins the race. Please stay safe everyone and educate yourself as much as possible.
An old school logger taught me how to fell trees. He also told me all the horror stories about doing tree work. I can’t think of one climber that hasn’t been badly hurt.
@@jasongrappone345 I know buddy it's a very dangerous job God bless
Congrats on surpassing the old channel, you deserve it! As always, great video and especially loved your attempt at 6 limbs in the air at once! Continue doing great things Jacob! Also, I'm now super excited to receive my Speed Cut Nano kit from Sappy Supplies :)
Thanks Brayden!
Impressive! Sharing notes...I'd like to add the largest growth I ever removed was my Ex back in 1999. She was only 5' 10" and 112lbs. But it cost me $175K in cash, one of my retirement funds, and half the equity in a home I owned she never paid for the entire time she lived there. 🙃
Great video! Makes me a bit nervous though seeing you only be tied in with your lanyard (even with a steelcore) whilst speed cutting branches with that aggressive chain. 😮 Stay safe!!!
I was really nervous too!!! 🇨🇦
I just acquired my tree climbing gear I can’t wait to start climbing trees . Love watching your content Jacob, you always have great reviews on your channel.
Another great video Jake. I’ll be switching out to that nano in the spring. Congrats on the surpass. Thanks for bringing us all along. Watch those ropes 😎
At 81 years old I still cut and split trees for firewood in Ohio . Love your videos
KZhead recommended this to me. And i'm glad they did. Got a lot of videos to go through. I'm uneasy around hights but this is very fascinating to watch. And i love the forest which is a plus.
Congratulations on passing your old channel. Great segment, thanks for bringing us along. Stay safe
On the top of the world always. Enjoy cutting.
Great example of how nice the MTronic will acclimate to a big change in altitude. They only need a handful of cuts to re-tune. The Makita was pig rich and needed a pretty big carb adjustment compared to the last jobsite. For most people tuning is really difficult. Hope you and the family had a great Christmas.
Nice to see you again Gordy! Congratulations on your new number of subscribers! Music to my ears...dueling saws! Great video Jacob! Sorry you cut your new rope.
You are a true professional. I dream of your work. I dream of a life around rivers and ancient trees. I watch your videos regularly. Greetings from Bulgaria, Europe. Greetings to you and your family.
These videos are so satisfying. You have a great spirit about you. Thanks for sharing like you do.
Great video Jake!! I love watching your videos. I also really enjoy climbing straight tall trees!!! cutting your rope is a bummer but can't wait for the next vid!
This is almost perfect video. Fir tree, simple and linear. Husky battery saw all the way up and half the way down. Firewood chunks for most of the wood coming down to make everyones life easy. So good!
Thats calm and cool!🤠😎 Good for you to pass the old channel! 👍 Happy new year to you and the family from a climber in Finland!
Awesome work, that's a beautiful setting for work!
I don't know when you made this video buddy but now you have like 427,000 subscribers that's great it's almost a half a million let's go
Congrats on surpassing the first channel. You have certainly earned every subscriber. Regarding chains and the .325, I’ve been using it for about 10 years now on saws in the 50cc range. A 50cc saw like a 353 or 346xp with a 20” .325 is a great combo. Once in the 60cc / 24” range I go to 3/8 as it’s a little more aggressive and clears better. Some think the .325 is a weaker chain, and maybe it is, but I ran .325 .058” on a 60cc bucking saw with a 20” bar for years and never broke a chain except for a couple times when I hit hardware in the wood.
absolutely. ive been running .325 on my husqvarna 351 for 20 years and it rips so good. have 3/8 on my 365.
Wow the view of the mountains! Happy new year Jacob and to your family! May 2023 is your best year yet!
Your videos have inspired me to keep going in a few different occasions. I think a lot of people would like to see more posts from abroad too, and that's something I'd get onboard with if you need another climber 🤙
I watched your old channel and was sad you stopped up loading videos glad you made a new one
I knew exactly where that intro clip was immediately since I drive up that road all the time when I go skiing or hiking
Watching this now, looking at your 1.2M subscribers and feeling very happy for your success. Great work!
dude God Bless you for doing this job I am so scared of heights I can't even watch this without cringing Your the man
Jake, I want to wish you and your family a happy 2023 I have a feeling it's going to be a good year for you! Don't forget the Mandy!
Great job on passing the old channel! I didn't find this one until a few months ago, I was missing your videos. You only lost a few feet off that rope, figure 8 on a bight and its good as new!
Beautiful trees and clean air ! Thank you trees 🌲
Me personally I loved just setting the saw up on the cut as I moved down. As a quick reference I put a piece of black tape on that leash at 16 inches from where the saw sat on the cut. Makes you accurate and quick and can't anyone complain about the length of the firewood rounds
Much love jake❤ love to see how far you’ve grown since u had to start a new channel I been watching your videos for a long time and just wanted to say hi and hope all is well! All the way from the east coast in central Massachusetts ❤️❤️🪓 🌲 🍁 🌳
At 27:22 wood splits itself when it lands! Cool trick man 👍😉
Work smarter not harder!
that soft whimper? is the sound of me crying for a log that long and straight to cut into timbers! Amazing growth for the channel, I migrated over as soon as you posted the first one! More Jed and Smiley for 2023?
Well done on surpassing the old channel. Well deserved.
Congrats on surpassing the previous channel's subscribers! Personally, I would've climbed down as soon as cutting the backup rope... but, my boots never leave the ground. :) thanks for another awesome and informative video.
We require redundancy, so it would have been mandatory.
You knows it. Personally i wouldn't have liked climbing down just on spikes. Id prefer someone to throw me up another climb line
Love watching you climb and cut trees that we don't see here in Australia. All I could think of watching this one was, "I would love the lichen to dye my handspun yarn) 😊
WOW! THAT'S A TALLEST TREE! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲 And be safe out there and keep up the good job on cutting trees down!! 🪵🌲🪚👍🏻😁
Great job guys. Enjoyed every moment of it.
You already have 430k subs on this channel at the time of uploading. Going fast. Great work
Wow! My heart was pounding, wondering which rope you were about to cut. When I was younger heights didn't bother me! But I'm older now retired and that made me dizzy and my stomach queezy. Very nice job, what a view.
Heights still don't bother me, it is the ground that hurts ;)
I'm still looking forward to you using the Makita more. For myself, I have no severe elevation changes, just different air moisture's, and obviously temperature changes. Still researching on my next saw purchase.
Just amazing countryside! And tree work .
Would you be willing to do some more climbing instructional videos? Trying to get into it a bit more and have picked up a lot of tips from just watching you normal videos. We have wider trees here in the Midwest that I know you don't have much of, would just love to see more of how you're rigging and what you're tying to, knots and so on. Thanks for the great videos!
Congratulations you been working hard I enjoy your videos you are an inspiration! God bless !
What a beautiful view at the top. My dream is to come to the west coast and climb. Great video Jake.
Great video. I work for a tree company in Southern Illinois but I grew up in your neck of the woods. I forgot how massive those firs are.
I've been watching your numbers grow.. From one climber to another, Awesome cuz.... So happy to see that... Congratulations
Love watching your videos keep it up bro hope you don't hurt yourself while doing this keep up the good work god bless you
Mississippi 1...gotta start with the mississippi....🤓 Thanks for the content. Love what you're doing. We will definitely be using your store. Happy New Year.
That's a good way to think about it; I wish I had been taught that way, because, the 1 doesn't show up on the stopwatch until after the second is complete.
“I don’t know man I just cut the trees” 😂😂😂
Great job Jacob! Stay safe please! That was a scary moment when you accidentally cut the one cord. God is watching over you! Happy new year!
I hope the property owner realizes what an epic spot he has.❤️
Cutting a yard full of firewood today in northern Minnesota. With a tiny Worx 120VAC 14". It actually cuts real nice for an el cheapo. Except when the bar isn't long enough to cut across the flat. The tip will not cut. I believe it's because it has a safety chain. My major complaint for this saw - the top handle is too close to the chain. Many times where my pointer finger is only a 1/4" away from the meat grinder. When did you film this? Cause you're at 427K subs now. You sound super impressed with that chain.
every second frame could be my wallpaper, this scenery is beautiful
Bro welcome to the club. Between rigging and climb line, I've been through at LEAST 4 ropes this year. Groundsmen, my dumb ass, and rigging burns have cost me a lot of ropes this year.
19:17 Jacob, This part of the timeline starting exactly right here, 19:17 what you did with the very top of the tree is, without a doubt, ABSOLUTELY-AWESOME!!! 19:17
Great job man. You cut them high branches off exactly like I would. I couldn’t help but think after you tore off a good 1-1/2” of moss/dirt from that branch that all the branches you didn’t remove that material would dull the blades much faster. But I guess it didn’t matter. I would love to climb a 170 footer but I’m on the east coast and most trees don’t get that high. White pines can get pretty high and some oaks and birch too, but only the softer pines seem to grow like a pencil. Birches and oaks have limbs coming out at enormous dimensions at no logical heights. But they are great for home milling and making beautiful slabs of timber for making just about anything. Great work
What an office for your work on this day; great job!
Will Definitely be getting one of those chain/bar combos for my smaller saw
So fun watching! Keep it up! By the way, when you count the time it takes to hit the ground you should start at 0 and not 1.
I don't know zip about the arborist profession, but I do know a thing or two about ropes and harnesses. It looked like your only line keeping you from plunging to your death was frayed and from the gopro angle at least, close to being nicked by the chains. I certainly would consider some redundancies even if it's just a quick job!
They use a steel core so the fray won’t be too terrible but yeah as a lineman I like having everything perfect ahah
I agree these are the funnest trees ever. Chunkin, I think of manageable pieces for the ground guys. Start with triples then doubles then 16s as they get bigger. Two guys usually keep up with the firewood pretty easy and is much faster than 175 ft of 16s. Leaving a rope is ideal. However, wedging a stob going 50% with your face is key. When you get to a comfortable amount of hinge and she still ain't going, instead of continuing to tickle the back I carve the heart out from the face. Leaving plenty of wood at your corners yet taking the resistance out of it. Just make sure you pull the tip of your bar before she goes or you may be replacing it haha Anyway thanks for sharing. Gorgeous views and fun to watch. Cascade mtn firs are by far my favorite. Yet words and pictures don't do the justice a video does.
As always, fantastic video. Checked out your sappy site, NICE!
Jacob, First time watching, I'm old enough to remember the Big Trees movies of the fifties, things are much different today but still a lot of sweat equity! I live in Ferndale,WA, not too far from Big Tree country. I've been to the Deming show a couple of times.. boy do you earn your dollars! Cheers, Rik Spector
26:36 "It's obviously not good to cut your climbing line". Understatement of the century. Watching you go up with one line and no backup was nerve wracking.
And then 9 months later your over 1.07 million!! kicking ass bro!
Crazy that when you filmed this you just hit 264K, now you have 427K subscribers!!
great day apart from the rope. awesome video as per usual
Love your stuff! Could you show more of those beautiful mountains, maybe from the drone? Helluva view!
You forgot the chain number in the description. Great video!
Love the electric saw. Can hear what he says. Plus I bet it's nice on the ears after a long day
Yet another awesome vid!! 👌 Did I completely miss your secondary line on your way up? Safety bro! Gotta keep you around man!! Glad you had it on your way back down!!
That's some crazy height there Jacob. You're a braver man than me dude!👊🏻
I can watch this all day. Thanks 👍
Now this is the definition of tree hugger
Bro! I have been I subscribed to your old channel. I wondered why I always missed your new videos. I thought I was a long time subscriber. 😂 I am a new old subscriber. Cheers 🍻
I'm watching this 7 months late but since this has been posted you have gained 600k since. Love the content
32:47 was wild. That old girl finally gave in and couldn’t take it anymore. She fought for a while!! Great video!!
simp
I got yelled at once for having my tie in above my flip line, I was told this was the reason, crazy to see it happen. Awesome video man, come out to olympia sometime.
Not sure how else to put this, but watching your videos make my guy parts hurt... Great channel, thanks' for posting ..
good job..we don't have trees this tall here in France..such a nice spot to work at..I cut small size logs too from the top too, cheers, Bruno
i was hoping when you dropped that top when it landed it stuck into the ground like a christmas tree lol great video man. and the only downside ive seen when chunkin small chunks like that is ive seen them turn into missiles when they hit another log or ive seen it happen when it hit the root flair at the bottom of a tree and it shot like a bullet and put a dent in bed of the truck for the dump trailer across the street gotta be on ur toes lol
It's nice to see ur doing ok cause it's been awhile since the last video u done hope u and ur family had a good Christmas and hope y'all have a good New Year to buddy and be safe and always be careful doing what u do each and every day
Damn you surpassed your old channel at 264 and now you're at 500 2months later that's crazy man good work
Cutting trees in southern Utah this winter but man your videos get me psyched to come back to WA and climb some real trees!
Really really good video. Congrats on the numbers.
You went right past where i used to live!! You have to go through Sultan to get to Skykomish. Did you know that you can rent a cabin in Index (like for a weekend getaway with your family) at the Mt. Index Riversites. Very beautiful (and cold in the winter!) and peaceful. Not much to hear but the wind in the trees and the rushing of the Skykomish River. In the summer Skykomish has a free rideable model train. Its very fun for anyone who likes trains!
Happy New Year Jake to you and the family 👪. 😎✌️
Sweet video, I love the little bitty top. You just wanted to climb to 175 feet for the view! 😂I get that🙂 cutting through that flip line was so fast, maybe because you had to cut all of those rounds you were trying to just fly through it. That ms 462 is a great saw. I’ve had mine for two years now that replaced by 461. I put the West Coast bark box on it and I don’t have a more delightful saw to cut with that! Stay safe, keep up the great channel Jake.
So does the line that wraps the tree and connects to you, have a metal core? One slip of the saw and ????
0:50 Such beautiful wilderness! I miss living nearby such trees like this in Idaho
Here in Maine it’s very controversial to top spruce trees but it is done quite often near the ocean where we have to leave trees due to shore protection. But we are gonna be there in a couple years due to rot, I love them in their natural apex form. Great video thanks for sharing
Why is topping a issuse in maine?
Awesome video. Keep up the good work!!
Sitting here watching your video a month later. 463k subs 😂👌❤️ Love your content Jacob, keep being amazing 👍
Really enjoy your videos! Keep it up....
