I love this work. I'm 70 now. I was doing this work in Anchorage in my teens and 20s. All with spikes and ropes. It was a kick..... Watching you brought back some of my best years. Thanks
And then they do crazy stunts like when they are cleaning the roof at the end. That is still a signifant fall. Same with the jumping off the skip when loading those branches. I am sure these guys are quite safe goind the tree work, but when you mitigate high hazards all day, it is very easy to forget about low hazards.
Many people think that arborist charge too much for their work, but they don't realise the skills these guys have and the cost of the equipment they use
The laughter, the smiles the professionalism all at the same time... You really made something special here man. It's been a real pleasure watching you grow and meeting the people you introduce to us. Thank you so much for sharing this snippet of your life, you don't know the effect it has on people, it's good. Life gets really hard sometimes but it's helpful to know that this exists in the world.
@GuiltyofTreeson Ditto At first, I was watching the channel where you started. Then moved over to follow your journey. You have come a long way, but have grown with incredible experiences.
I’m a home owner. My neighbors helped me cut down two trees . One on my yard and one on hoa property. The person in charge had a log cutting business years ago. Experience sure did help and we were safe. You are da MAN! Love your videos!!!!! Will you be we bring your coffee back?
You , Randy and Kevin are an amazing group of professional arborists your watch in action. Your meticulous attention to detail and safety while working is exemplary! I wish all arborists didn’t work with such extraordinary attention to detail, as all of you do! Always a pleasure to watch you and your associates in action. The quality of the finished product that you consistently turn out, is outstanding!!! You and Randy have a wild sense of humor , which makes your videos all the more enjoyable to watch! Keep up the good work Jacob!
Impressive as hell. When you know, you know. I'm certain the homeowner took a huge sigh of relief after seeing the first pieces come down in a controlled manner.
Judging by the state of the roof over the back porch, I'd wager the reason they were there in the first place was that the first pieces came down on their own days or weeks ago.
I remember doing tree work with my buddy for the first time and he’s like hold this rope and I was like bro I’m not going to be able To hold this nd it was light as a feather. Science of rigging is fascinating. Shit blew my mind.
I really appreciate that you are open about pricing! It’s really helpful to be able to compare my pricing with someone like yourself! You’re killing it. Keep it up and stay safe
Randy is great to have around for training purposes. I think the new guys just being able to see ya'll communication style is not just good for the jobs but also the channel.
so nice to know that im not the only who still gets freaked out rigging tops especially in the wind. Today i was in a big ol" soft maple and it was crazy windy and i felt great until it was time to take the top. my rope guy might not have been as perfect as Randy but he did a damn good job and made me feel 100 times better when all i had left to do was chunk down the firewood and drop the stick! saty safe out there brother your videos keep me going after days like today working entire Sundays knowing theirs a full week ahead of me!
Hey guys great job.i used to cut paperwood with my dad I'm 59 now and my dad is gone ( passed on) videos like this I really get enjoyment out of.thank you guys from tennessee.
Man, after having a team take out a tree in our backyard and do a half ass job on cleanup, I gotta say props to you for going the extra mile and making sure the yard looks nice when you are done. That's such a big difference to not leave a bunch saw chips behind.
Enjoyed the video. Nice working together. Smooth operation. Limbs down and chipped. Top off and chipped. Chunks down with no damage. Kudos to all! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tree climbers are the toughest people I kno . I’ve got a chance to help a few on the jobs and just they way it all works and skill is a great experience. Evryone needs to be in sync to make it happen and when you got good people it’s deff makes job easyer and safer . My hats off to all y’all guys
I did a small oak trimming job once a couple years ago after watching some videos like this and getting some climbing gear. I used only manual tools and managed to get every limb down safely by myself just using pulleys and the belay on my harness. It was by far the most fun I have had doing manual labor, and the thought and planning that went into it all was very satisfying for my autistic brain.
I never wood of thought I could spend an hour of my life watching a tree come down. I will say the climb up seemed the scariest, I kept picturing him cutting that rope!
Love your videos, and the increasing production value! But i gotta say, Randy takes these videos to the next level. Your calm explanations of what you’re doing interspersed with his quips and humor is absolute gold.
Great job everybody - a difficult job made to look efficient and totally neat clean up - home owners need to be very happy about what you and your crew did - u and August a nd VTW are the only crews I keep up with - see you on the next one 🤓👍
Videography was great, including drone and, rope and rigging close up, with Jake explaining knots and carabiners. I was surprised about heating with douglas fir. I thought fir was too sappy. Not much said about the wood chipper. Maybe you need more time before offering an opinion. The chipper did well on this job I think. Ditch Witch was perfect! Margin for error was about zero on this job. Great work not damaging customer's nicely maintained garden.
Leaving a tall stump like that's a good idea. Here in North Carolina we have pelated woodpeckers which are something to see and they love these kind of stumps! Great job on this!
Looking good Jacob! Can’t gag the chipper, that beast is eating just like the saws. Randy’s Ditch Witch is getting it, the new guy is running with both cans filled with saw dust. Well done boys😊
Wish you were down here by me, I'd love for you to take care of our giant tree. Amazing work, not rushing, and taking great care of what you are doing by ensuring everyones always safe.
Really great video. Hard conditions for sure. But successful and done to perfection... Drone driver - - - - great job, outstanding views... I see the neighbors coming out to check out the work.
This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I’ve worn spurs before but never for as long as you were in the tree. I’m sure your legs were really fatigued. You guys did a bang up job and very professional.
thanks for making the video, it was great including the editing. I'd forgotten how much I use to love doing this stuff... I remember the wind.... and hating the negative rigging....
I'm impressed. I helped a "topman" (?) once and was impressed with his overview. that was a Popplar overhanging two neighbours. Not as restrictive as this fir. thank you for sharing
A little automotive technology could provide a better breaking system for the logs than the porta wrap or Jail Brake. Both the porta wrap and Jail Brake are using the friction of the rope against the metal as a brake pad. An automotive disk brake connected to a hydraulic cylinder would be attached to the tree. The rope would be wound around a large spool on the disc brake hub. A pipe would apply pressure to the hydraulic cylinder. The pipe would be attached to a rope to keep a safe distance. As the limb was lowered the ground operator would pull on the rope which would vary the pressure on the brake. This would allow the limb to descend rapidly at first and come to a gradual stop. It would take the guess work out of how many wraps to use. The disc would be the braking mechanism, not the rope. It could freewheel at first and easily come to a complete stop, all with very little effort from the ground operator.
Got a good crew there. Keep on keeping everyone safe. Isaac, go easy on your knees dude. All those high jumps off od things (especially with a backpack blower) are going to catch up to you.
I’m a lifelong Puget Sounder and maybe only BC people and Redwood California people would know the sheer size of these Doug firs that grow here like weeds. Totally fair since you’re doing clean up too. While these massive firs are beautiful people need to give them space and not crowd the base with decorative gardens. Well done and keep up the great work. Be safe always!. ❤
12:48 I absolutely love heights, best shot. I just can't watch Guilty of Treeson on the big tv in the front room. Mom, dad and sis hate heights can't even handle videos of high places.
Awesome job as usual! Your pricing was fair for that job. My two cents-I always push the logs off parallel to the house and guys just in case the rope breaks from fatigue or slips off the log……..I even had the bolt in my mini block shear off once.
At least when holding/handling the down rope. A suddenly running rope on a blank hand... Better try different glove brands/types for your glove/hand size. With correct gloves you also have better grip.
@@BirnenKuerbis yeah no gloves on a rope with momentum and jerking is a realllly bad idea. I don't cut down trees but that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen
Glad to see that y'all have some different equipment for each respective company that complement each other's needs and share combinations of such when needed. Do you consult with each other prior to major purchases/leases? It gives you guys the most flexibility when you work together as a tightly integrated team. Glad to see it! 😊
Dude we have an avant 220 and that thing will go anywhere, pick 800 lbs and is so easy on the terrain. I was pretty skeptical before we got it but now i dont see myself ever getting a tracked machine again, I absolutely love the little guy! Lol
On sappy trees I'll dip my hands in the sawdust to get rid of the stickiness for a bit. When it's that windy there's probably not any sawdust sitting in your lap tho lol
Don't know if you're doing this or not, but you'd save hours on the chipper hour meter if you got 4-5 "grab piles" ready with the loader in front of the chipper on the road before turning on the chipper, and then turn it off in between chipping 4-5 bundles. Obviously you've got to deal with running out of room on the road.
@@scottboucher675Do Vermeers work well for you? I hear a lot of guys online say they break down a lot. Bandit, Morbark, and maybe Carlton are good options.
Thanks for telling us how much you are charging for the job, for the ones that can't do what you guys do it puts things in perspective
fuck id pay you more to remove that lady and keep the tree. Youve got chainsaws and all.
I think it's worth it. That's a lot of equipment, manpower and skill. The end result and clean up after was worth it.
that tree is very challenging, and the fact that they cleared everything up means it's a fair price.
Should be more... hazard pay is included 😊
I realize these kinds of trees don't grow in DC, but this would be a steal for $10k here
I love this work. I'm 70 now. I was doing this work in Anchorage in my teens and 20s. All with spikes and ropes. It was a kick..... Watching you brought back some of my best years. Thanks
Randy MUST be fun to work with and he is also very caring. After every wood rig he would ask, "you OK?" I LOVE that.
Beautiful team!
I noticed that too!
professional for sure! these dudes are good at what they doo, and good at enjoying it! i wish i enojyed it this much
Totally agree! Having a good team is always key! Especially in this type of work 👊🏻
And then they do crazy stunts like when they are cleaning the roof at the end. That is still a signifant fall. Same with the jumping off the skip when loading those branches.
I am sure these guys are quite safe goind the tree work, but when you mitigate high hazards all day, it is very easy to forget about low hazards.
Many people think that arborist charge too much for their work, but they don't realise the skills these guys have and the cost of the equipment they use
I accidentally hit the closed captions and every time the chipper was running it would say "music". Damn right it is! Play on brotha!
Haha that’s amazing
Priceless 👌 😂
😂😂😂😂 sweet music! I agree!👍
@SirensC3 yeah.. after a bit it sticks to ya. 🤔😆😂🤣👌👍
Haha nice!
The laughter, the smiles the professionalism all at the same time... You really made something special here man.

You have put together a great fun team! I really enjoy the banter but the seriousness of the work! You’re the only tree removal group I watch! 13:49
Wow, thank you!
@GuiltyofTreeson Ditto
At first, I was watching the channel where you started. Then moved over to follow your journey.
You have come a long way, but have grown with incredible experiences.
same, don't understand how I ended up here, but better than many movies since '00!
Hey Jacob, hope you see this. At the end, thanking the boys/complementing them, is so so good. Can literally make someones day!
I noticed that also, absolutely a fantastic gesture!!
I’m a home owner. My neighbors helped me cut down two trees . One on my yard and one on hoa property. The person in charge had a log cutting business years ago. Experience sure did help and we were safe.
You are da MAN!
Love your videos!!!!!
Will you be we bring your coffee back?
idk why i got recommended a tree service company but the editing is phenomenal and was genuinely interested
You , Randy and Kevin are an amazing group of
professional arborists your watch in action.
Your meticulous attention to detail and safety while working is exemplary! I wish all arborists didn’t
work with such extraordinary attention to
detail, as all of you do! Always a pleasure to
watch you and your associates in action.
The quality of the finished product that you
consistently turn out, is outstanding!!!
You and Randy have a wild sense of humor ,
which makes your videos all the more
enjoyable to watch! Keep up the good
work Jacob!
Jake, Randy and Kevin are okay. But Isaac is obviously the star of the show. Everything would grind to a halt without that dude on site💪🏼😄
It’s always a fun video when Randy comes along! Y’all do beautiful work! I’m sure the client was pleased!❤❤❤
Impressive as hell. When you know, you know. I'm certain the homeowner took a huge sigh of relief after seeing the first pieces come down in a controlled manner.
Judging by the state of the roof over the back porch, I'd wager the reason they were there in the first place was that the first pieces came down on their own days or weeks ago.
I remember doing tree work with my buddy for the first time and he’s like hold this rope and I was like bro I’m not going to be able
To hold this nd it was light as a feather. Science of rigging is fascinating. Shit blew my mind.
They shouldve done it 20 years ago to be honest, but better late than never.
I really appreciate that you are open about pricing! It’s really helpful to be able to compare my pricing with someone like yourself! You’re killing it. Keep it up and stay safe
3 guys, 3 trucks, a shredder, a trailer, a stump grinder thing, plus the rigging, difficulty, and all the extra shit? Seems more than fair to me.
Randy is great to have around for training purposes. I think the new guys just being able to see ya'll communication style is not just good for the jobs but also the channel.
The camera work on this big job was excellent. Great video, thanks.
so nice to know that im not the only who still gets freaked out rigging tops especially in the wind.

That single rope with that chain so close gives me heart palpitations haha! Nice work.
Just made the exact same comment. Very scary. Slip, drop, rip and RIP.
just remember there's a steel core flipline below the block as backup, was totally safe imho
All right: Fancy videography, high winds, a drone and Randy’s dog! This video could NOT have been better!❤❤❤
Hey guys great job.i used to cut paperwood with my dad I'm 59 now and my dad is gone ( passed on) videos like this I really get enjoyment out of.thank you guys from tennessee.
This is a great crew. Always enjoy watching a team work well together, hard to find. God bless

It really is s dangerous job but you all make it look fun and easy. ♥️👍

Flat out impressive job . Thank you for your time that you take to share and teach as you go .
That was one to be proud of. Great work all around and it didn't look easy
Fantastic teamwork & equipment for a fantastic job!!! Congrat's to all!
Super cool top rig Randy!
A ton of work done smooth. Great finished project.
I never wood of thought I could spend an hour of my life watching a tree come down. I will say the climb up seemed the scariest, I kept picturing him cutting that rope!
There must be a part of a mans mind that has developed alongside chopping down trees for millennia...
Love your videos, and the increasing production value! But i gotta say, Randy takes these videos to the next level. Your calm explanations of what you’re doing interspersed with his quips and humor is absolute gold.
Great teamwork, great equipment, staying focused, working safely and making your work entertaining!!! Priceless!!! 😊
Jake, you men are a well oiled and very safety conscious team. You rock. I love watching tree work.
Beautiful job guys great drone footage. Glad your all ok.😊❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great job everybody - a difficult job made to look efficient and totally neat clean up - home owners need to be very happy about what you and your crew did - u and August a nd VTW are the only crews I keep up with - see you on the next one 🤓👍
Fabulous skills and clean work on a very complicated situation. Very nicely done!
One of your best videos. Entertaining and educational.
Love what your doing. Randy is his natural comedic self. Thanks
Great job! It's always awesome to see Stump! Sending ear scratches and snuggles to him!
I love watching your videos….you are growing your business the right way.
Great Job Jake ,and Crew. Liked the Rigging in the no drop zone. Randy did an exellent Job on the Ground. That was a narrow passage to the Chipper.
Videography was great, including drone and, rope and rigging close up, with Jake explaining knots and carabiners. I was surprised about heating with douglas fir. I thought fir was too sappy. Not much said about the wood chipper. Maybe you need more time before offering an opinion. The chipper did well on this job I think. Ditch Witch was perfect! Margin for error was about zero on this job. Great work not damaging customer's nicely maintained garden.
Outstanding work as always guys. Worth every penny ❤
This video took me back to when I first started watching you back when you were still at Eastside. Tall fir. 4 dudes having a good time. Great video.
Leaving a tall stump like that's a good idea. Here in North Carolina we have pelated woodpeckers which are something to see and they love these kind of stumps! Great job on this!
Hey great job making the video man. Getting the conversation between everyone really makes it awesome. Liked! Subscribed!
Looking good Jacob! Can’t gag the chipper, that beast is eating just like the saws. Randy’s Ditch Witch is getting it, the new guy is running with both cans filled with saw dust. Well done boys😊
I like that you tell us the price once in awhile. Gives us an understanding of what is involved.
Outstanding guys. Very well done.
You guys should be proud.
Watched in the UK. You guys think you're the A Team! Well you're not. You're the AAA Team. Absolutely amazing to watch. Thank you. ❤
Wish you were down here by me, I'd love for you to take care of our giant tree. Amazing work, not rushing, and taking great care of what you are doing by ensuring everyones always safe.
This felling of This fir was flawless fellas fabulous work ! Top Notch
Glad to see new vids on the regular now. I learn a lot from them
always fun to watch the pros work...thanks for another great clip
Really great video. Hard conditions for sure. But successful and done to perfection...
Drone driver - - - - great job, outstanding views... I see the neighbors coming out to check out the work.
This was probably the most "normal" job ive seen you post, and it was still just as enjoyable to watch as all the others🤙
This is amazing how a lot of thinking and set up went through. A lot could go wrong at each step.
Absolutely awesome and very professional work guys
What a great operation, but especially your support crew!
Wish the crews on my job site had the teamwork you guys do. From safety to getting the job done, nice work.
I watched you many years ago and just saw this video. Very entertaining and educational, scratches an itch I did not know I had
Jake and Randy are such a great team. Love this channel.
This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I’ve worn spurs before but never for as long as you were in the tree. I’m sure your legs were really fatigued. You guys did a bang up job and very professional.
I’m not sure why this is one of my favorite UA-cam channels, but it is.
thanks for making the video, it was great including the editing. I'd forgotten how much I use to love doing this stuff... I remember the wind.... and hating the negative rigging....
Just amazing, I was afraid to blink in case I missed anything, awesome job
Watching from Alberta,Canada
I'm impressed. I helped a "topman" (?) once and was impressed with his overview. that was a Popplar overhanging two neighbours. Not as restrictive as this fir. thank you for sharing

Old tree man here. That friction device is awesome. Smooth for the climber.

Yes! Randy and his dog are back!
I love all the safety communication. Can't take chances.
Beautiful professional work 10/10 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
1:30 a Portawrap is absolute amazing from my experience
12:48 I absolutely love heights, best shot. I just can't watch Guilty of Treeson on the big tv in the front room. Mom, dad and sis hate heights can't even handle videos of high places.

looks like a typical day in the PNW. Some clouds, some rain, some sun. Nice job on putting that tree down on the ground by the team.
This was so satisfying to watch. It was surprised that the chipper could bite those thick logs so easily
Good job fellas, Randy is a savage on that rope.
love the passion on the work man thats a true life for ya boys hope more for ya all
Great video crew! Be safe!
watching all the 57 mn, impressive good work and coordination, right tools selection. Happy to see you safe at end - regards to you and your team
Guys no one will call you less of a man for using gloves at work, especially in a tree work. Gloves are just a tool like your hardhat or your saw...
I agree however for one reason or another I never end up wearing them
@@tsloth1390it depends sometimes u just dont have good grip and the sensation of using glove kinda like… blinds your touch sense
At least when holding/handling the down rope. A suddenly running rope on a blank hand... Better try different glove brands/types for your glove/hand size. With correct gloves you also have better grip.
@@BirnenKuerbis yeah no gloves on a rope with momentum and jerking is a realllly bad idea. I don't cut down trees but that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen
It’s so much harder to climb, work with rope and handle tools with gloves on. I only know one Tree surgeon who climbs in gloves.
Wow, that was better than going to the ballet. Beautiful skills.
Good stuff bro ! I love seeing your success. There’s more then enough trees for all of us to eat
Jeez, you can only say "Wow!" and "Damn" so many times!! The guy up in the tree, hanging on for dear life, has all my respect!!
Glad to see that y'all have some different equipment for each respective company that complement each other's needs and share combinations of such when needed. Do you consult with each other prior to major purchases/leases? It gives you guys the most flexibility when you work together as a tightly integrated team. Glad to see it! 😊
Dude we have an avant 220 and that thing will go anywhere, pick 800 lbs and is so easy on the terrain. I was pretty skeptical before we got it but now i dont see myself ever getting a tracked machine again, I absolutely love the little guy! Lol
Guilty of seasoned firewood 😂😂😂😂 that's incredible
Amazing job. Super clean.
On sappy trees I'll dip my hands in the sawdust to get rid of the stickiness for a bit. When it's that windy there's probably not any sawdust sitting in your lap tho lol
Just a great crew, and I'd LOVE to have that cat roping for me! Wow, he's talented!
Randy is slick on that rope
Don't know if you're doing this or not, but you'd save hours on the chipper hour meter if you got 4-5 "grab piles" ready with the loader in front of the chipper on the road before turning on the chipper, and then turn it off in between chipping 4-5 bundles. Obviously you've got to deal with running out of room on the road.
Also, consider a Vermeer chipper.
@@scottboucher675Do Vermeers work well for you? I hear a lot of guys online say they break down a lot. Bandit, Morbark, and maybe Carlton are good options.
it’s almost like you can smell the fresh Christmas tree sent right through the video!!!
This was fun to watch how it's done. I love cutting wood as long as my feet are on the ground.
