GRITS MY GUY 🎶
Great video I’m new and this really helps man. THANK YOU FOR THE INFO!
This is some more recycled footage from past jobs but without any music or voiceover. In case you were wondering, I’ve been using these saws for years and am happy with their overall performance. The CS-271T is a top handle, the CS-400 is what I would consider an “in-between” saw where I typically use a 16 inch or 18 inch bar, and then the CS-620P would be the “big” saw which I mostly use with a 24 inch bar but which is also capable of a longer bar if needed.
I like it thanks for that
General liability is rip off , its based on income , i do solo tree removal as a sole proprietor , i prefer to work alone , no drunks , no drug addicts, . Never had a claim on any structural claim , scrubs thats a different story , i just go to nursery and replace them when needed ,BUT insurance just want MORE AND MORE every year , and theres 4 , 4 different agents involved insurance MAFIA sucks .
What kind of harness do I get? I'm on a budget I'm looking at cheap ones. I can literally get the whole setup at Walmart for $115. It doesn't look like it has those second and third lines though
So I'm just wondering what kind of a harness do I get and where do I get it and then the ropes and the spikes for your feet. That kind of stuff.
@@Preston_Smith If you’re just getting into climbing / tree work any good quality harness designed for tree climbing would do. I’m currently using the Petzl Sequoia (non-srt) and like it. Once you gain more experience you may then start to have preferences for specific gear. In terms of where to buy gear from there’s a variety of places you could look. For starters, you could see if there are any climbing / arborist gear stores near you that you could go to in-person to check out the gear firsthand. Another option would be online stores. I’ve pretty much bought all my gear online from companies specializing in arborist gear and I’ve also got some stuff from Amazon. Check out TreeStuff, it’s an online shop with a huge variety of gear tailored towards tree work and tree climbing. Your gear is your life support. Quality and safety are more important than price. Cheaper doesn’t always mean poor quality but as with any gear (even the more expensive) I’d encourage due diligence to make sure you’re getting a quality product.
@cgfitnessandarboriculture Thanks. I found some places online that sell like a whole kit I was just worried about the spikes breaking on me or something when I'm in a tree. So I was probably just going to get one of those kits and start climbing
@cgfitnessandarboriculture how do you get rid of stumps? I was just going to rent a mini excavator or something
Lol bro was already fat
You can actually tuck the tail of the leg straps back through the buckle once more and they will never come out.
Wow dude I'm so glad i found this video as i just ordered one today,they are a little different as they have a 8mm rope on the bridge now instead of that strap.Im gunna back up the bridge with another piece of rope and the rings with stainless quick links for more confidence as Ill be using it for deep mine exploring.
Lol the frustration
This video spoke a lot to me when I first started climbing the fear just totally overwrote me then I got a little better it still gets me sometimes even though I understand my gear will hold me. I inspect it and I trust it what you said about realizing what is rational and irrational fear totally true appreciate your video
Nice, thanks
Super helpful like all your vids
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
So im curious, i totally understand not wanting to spike a tree. But what about situations like we have here in Michigan. Where a lot of our trees, have crowns that are wider than they are tall. If theres no good tie in points above your work. Im really not finding many examples of ways to trim said tree, without using spurs. I mean im usually tied in, but my tie in is so low, that im fighting my climbing line a good bit. Just to stay out on the limb. To think of not having spurs in this situation. Whats holding you in position? Im asking as id love to know, if theres a better way of doing this. Many cases dont allow for redirects either. I totally understand that if you have a younger tree, they often have thinner bark. Especially trees like maples and oaks and such. Which spurs will tear the hell out of. Generally those trees have branches close enough together that it can easily be climbed without spurs. But im talking about older oaks older walnuts and even some locust trees. Theres plenty of soecies here in Michigan that are like this. So if you have a better way, im all ears. Ive been doing tree work for about 15yrs. All in Michigan. And unless you are taking a whole limb. You gotta get out on the limb, do to it overhanging a house etc etc. Im having a hard time finding videos of people climbing trees without spurs, on trims where the crowns very wide. And doesn't have many good spots for a tie in. So what do you do in this scenario?
@@richardbadish6990 That’s a great question! One thing I sometime do on widespread canopies because I usually climb DdRT is to utilize two climbing systems. One as a primary and then a secondary that I can use when working farther out towards a side of the tree to improve work position. Doesn’t even have to be a full 100ft+ climb line, could be a longer secondary lanyard or shorter climb line, etc. Sometimes I may be tied into both the primary system and secondary, and sometimes I may hop off one and hop on another. Depending on the tree if there aren’t any good natural crotchets you can use webbing slings to create a TIP for your line (as long as you trust it will support you of course). You can also use webbing slings to create footholds as well. Some other things to consider if you don’t think it’s practical to be able to get a more comfortable TIP simply because you don’t know if it will support your weight is climb out to where you do feel you can safely be and then use a pole saw / pruner to trim what you need to farther out. Or can it be reached from the ground? You can also use the same pole saw / pruner to set a rigging line if you need by throwing the line with a carabiner attached around the branch, and then hooking the carabiner with the pole saw and pulling it back to you so you can then either clip it onto the rest of the rigging line to secure the branch or tie a knot, etc. It’s a lot of extra work doing it this way but if it’s your only option or what you feel comfortable with then sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Also, if removing longer limbs over structures or other obstacles instead of piecing out maybe consider taking it as a bigger piece so you can cut closer to the trunk where your TIP is more above you. Depending on the scenario you may be able to set one rigging line towards the branch tip end from the ground with a throw line, and secure that rigging line wherever you feel you need it to be in the tree to be able to force the branch to hold steady or swing away, and then tie the end off near where you’re cutting to prevent that end from dropping when it’s cut. So basically instead of taking a longer branch in sections maybe you take it in one or two pieces and it may require more than one rigging line so that you can balance or swing it away as opposed to letting it swing directly down under you. The last thing I want to say and please don’t take this as me being critical of your climbing ability, but part of it as well in my opinion is simply getting more comfortable working at odd angles with your climb line (if you can’t have it directly above you and a secondary TIP isn’t an option). Practicing climbing these specific scenarios in a non-work setting when you’re off the job, may help tremendously because you can take that extra time to really focus on the process and methods to getting to where you need to be and obtaining a good enough work position that you feel you can safely make a cut. If you don’t have access to trees where you live, maybe see if you could climb at a park, or somewhere where the trees are similar to what you’re describing. Obviously you don’t need to actually make any cuts to practice this, you’re just essentially going through the motions leading up to where you’d make a cut. And when on a job if you do feel you absolutely have to use spurs for safety reasons, if you can keep it isolated to the branches / limbs that you’re going to be cutting at least in that situation you’re not actually causing any damage to the parts of the tree that are going to be preserved.
Nice, easy to use system. I’ve been climbing 30 years and can’t believe this never occurred to me!
Good night am from st.vincent and the Grenadines (Caribbean) was scrolling through UA-cam and saw your video I to just started a small tree cutting business and it was very interesting thanks for the advice when it comes to giving estimate for a job I am Bertram Jackson
I am 5ft7 i used to weight 209 i am not at 190
Awesome home gym!!👍👍👍👍
Thanks! 💪
Literally gives no ideas on how to price anything that’s wild. Good job. Good job sharing the information so good. I’m glad I watched the video.
Is there any other tree insurance companies besides Pekin. They want a arm and a leg for coverage!!!!

Even tho those are not power lines🤦🏻♂️ those are data lines. Man all that work for nothing lol
You probably can’t see it from the video but there was a power line near that tree, higher voltage ones that go pole to pole not a service drop, and close enough that it made me decide not to climb for safety reasons. The purpose of the rigging was because the client had plants / landscaping directly underneath.
If you didn’t climb it why you have your climbing gear on
Can you explain how to setup the 1st lanyard??
So a typical setup would be a lanyard that’s hooked into the D-rings on the side of your saddle, and then you’ve got your climbing line hooked onto your rope bridge which you may secure to the spar to act as a second tie in. There’s various ways you could tie into the spar with your climb line. Some people just cinch the rope around the trunk using a knot or carabiner, and there’s also gear you can buy for this exact purpose (spar tie-in).
If adding a second lanyard for three connections, then you start with your primary lanyard around the tree, then cinch your climb line around the spar and position it in a way so that when you lean away from it you have a secure feel. To do this likely you would move the climb line (the part that’s cinched around spar) either to the right or left away from you so that you take the slack out of the line until you’re able to actually lean back and have it support you. When adding the second lanyard (third tie in point), hook into one end of the lanyard at your rope bridge, and then cinch the other end of the lanyard around the tree and position the part that’s around the tree away from you to take out the slack but on the opposite side of your climb line. So now essentially you have support from the right and left side from your climb line and second lanyard, and then your primary lanyard which is just around the tree like normal. Not sure if this makes sense in text, so if you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask!
@@cgfitnessandarboriculture Thank you!
Część Chris świetnie łączyć trening z pracą Arborysty . Pozdrawiam Arborysta z Polski .
Great vid. Good advice.
Thanks!
Good advice. Thanks for posting.
Started as a groundie 6 months ago and progressed to top roper. I was already on my weight loss journey 3+ years prior (went from 400 to 290 6 months later i have lost 70 pounds and have a 6 pack for the first time since i was 8yo. I can max squat 385 and can raise a 450 pound trunk piece 4 inches with a back obliterateing whole body lift. (Any gym bros that can tell me what the sumo stance tiny vertical raise lift is called pls let me know) I be eating ~4k calories daily and i am still losing a quarter pound per week. "When you work like a mule you get as strong as one too" - my boss 15 mins after his foreman gave me a half g dab in front the mf ~ columbian marching powder "
Ok
Hi guys people number?
So you climbed with no friction saver the first time? And are you pulling on the side that goes through the z?
This was a while ago but I don’t believe I had a friction saver set up for any of it. Although I will sometimes utilize one which usually is in the form of a micro pulley. And with the ZigZag and any other device I always put a foot ascender on the same side as wherever the rope goes through the device to keep it more aligned and therefore more smooth.
Thank you
5ft9 198lbs here. I'm almost at 200
You swole mf good shit I’m 5’9 195 tryna hit 200 maybe 205 but I’ve never been more than 198
Put some wood through it.
Pruning job, lots of pine branches.
I'm not even near a tree and my hands are already getting sweaty for my first climb tomorrow.
What was your body weight in this vid ?
I’m gonna estimate probably somewhere in the low to mid 160’s.
Starting a tree business in NJ ?
Love it!!
One climber one ground guy done in 3-4 hours no equipment needed that’s a tiny job
This video is very underrated. this is very honest and motivational. I’m 23, I’m about to invest in a trailer and the licenses/insurance to start a local tree trimming business. Ive been scouting and there’s hundreds of overgrown palm trees in a 2 miles radius. I’m going to dive in and give it my all. I don’t want to be a millionaire i just want to have financial and time freedom to experience more and travel.
Do you stretch once a day in the morning? before working? at the end of the day? or multiple times?
Typically I’ll include a full body stretching routine as part of my workout which is usually in the morning before work, although sometimes I do workout later in the day. I also used to use a foam roller quite a bit as well.
They are called tools for a reason use them. 😂
Came here to see the highest heights... Got curls 4 tha girls... and rows for tha hoes... No squats for tha THOTS though...
What was your lowest weight? And of all those 4k calories you consumed to bulk up to 200+ how many of them were dirty?
When I first started my “bodybuilding” journey I was around 100 - 110 lbs and the heaviest I’ve been is a little over 180 lbs. Whether bulking, dieting, or maintaining I pretty much always eat good quality food. I don’t dirty bulk in the sense that I will eat whatever just to hit my calorie goal. There’s more to nutrition than just gaining or losing weight, and it’s important to consider how the foods you eat can impact health, etc.
@@cgfitnessandarboriculturethanks for the info 💯
I’m thinking of moving forward with start my tree service business but I’m trying to learn rigging,any advice
Do as much self-learning as you can. Watch videos, read books, and if possible practice different climbing and rigging techniques in the tree. You don’t actually need to be on a job to do that. For example, you could practice setting up different rigging systems, tying different knots, etc. without actually cutting any branches. When I first started climbing it was in the trees around my property. I was working as a tow truck driver so when I had free time I would climb. Before work, after work, and on the weekends. You could also check to see if there’s any tree work / tree climbing classes being offered. Another thing to consider is maybe see if you could get a job with a reputable tree service (even if just part-time) to gain some experience. Whichever route you go whether it’s learning on your own, working for a company, or a mix of both…part of the learning process is gaining experience by doing the work. Finding yourself in different situations and being able to adapt and come up with a plan for that particular rigging scenario.
Bravo, good words! It can be the other way round as well: You would like to use the pole-saw for efficiency reasons, when only cleaning the tree for deadwood, but you shouldn't because actually you can't freefall pieces without risk. I recently took the pole saw because i let myself be sligthly pressuerd from collegues and damaged a roof of a rabbit-hut :)
Does this work with palm trees?
I’ve never tried using it on palm trees only because there aren’t any where I’m located lol. But depending on what you’re doing and how big the stuff is that you’re cutting it may work.
Very helpful,Thanks!
Good video
Agreed. Sometimes it's necessary. How something looks for the ground vs up there .... Like in a very broad tree, your TIP looked right from the ground but you find out it's lower than some of the sprawling branches you have to piece out. Too big to cut it from the trunk, for instance
I fully agree with you there is nothing unprofessional about using a pole saw but what do I know lol😂👍🏽💪🏽👊🏽
