just an observation here. i have cut trees for over 30 years, i have owned & operated buckets, had nearly every piece of rigging equip. made, and even made a few items for my self. it is not the equip that a person has, but the skill with which they r used, that at the end of the day determines success or disaster. sire, he should have tied the limb off 3' farther out, then it would not have "raked" the antenna, but overall, kudos should be given to him, he did fairly well
No bad at all for a one man crew. Remember though. The guys on the bottom are just as important as the guy on top. This tree ain’t much but there’s other behemoths that you need a crew for. Nicely done.
This guy has guts.. I’m sure you’re thinking I’m saying that because of him doing tree work .. I actually say he has guts for filming it with all his mistakes .. be careful son
When I started climbing the company didn't even broach the subject of spikes wounding the tree and I've seen some beautiful tree get mauled by gaff holes, and the wounds actually closed...but the scar remained for years, and for what? Not wanting to drag a ladder ALLL the way out back, or carry your ascenders with you. People have told me the trees will get infected and die, but I'm not sure if that's true or not. As far as this video, I'm not sure why he didn't go fifteen feet higher and rope that branch or scurry out it five more feet to grab it and drop it safely?
Everytime I watch one of these it astounds me. Does anyone put up a video of tree work being done correctly...man! Also if he was taking the tree done why would he start with a ladder?....Please!
This is not as easy as it looks. It's damn dangerous. One slip-up and he can have a very serious fall or even accidentally cut himself with the chainsaw. Kudos to this guy.
Jaime Alonzo lmmfao...priceless reply. As for what that other guy said, tree cutting does indeed have some inherent danger...but if you do it properly there's very little chance of getting hurt and even less of a chance of damaging customers property.
no helmet no ear protection if that had been a bigger branch 2 mins 43 in he would be dead as it hit him coming back into the tree. its a wonder hes not dead.
some of the people making these comments are whats wrong with America today...worry about your damn own self and how you do things and stop thinking everyone should do it how you think it should be done...
Agree there are a lot of "Rambo" type "tree cutters" out there that give professional arborists a bad name...but as a professional horti guy with 40 yrs and having hired a lot of arborists to do a job I was not insured for , I must say that more often then not it is the customers fault. The customer wants to pay cash...hires a guy for less.The guy (and the customer) has no insurance . He quite often does not have the proper tools (bucket lift,down rigs.safety harness etc). Can you see the mess?
Tying in makes it so you don’t need spikes. Tying in makes it so you have 2 points of attachment the entire time you climb. Tying in makes it so you can easily swing all the way out to the branch tip just by pushing off the trunk. This is nonsense. Looking like a homeless degenerate just adds to it.
Every video with a man doin* real work with a saw or tractor apparently requires a woman in the background making stupid, pointless comments...when she should be inside making iced tea.
He must be a Squirrel. I/ve never seen a squirrel with a Hard Hat,Eye and ear protection or Chainsaw chaps! And that ladder had to save him 8ft of tough climbing. Obviously a true professional!
Pruning with spikes, swinging the saw without the chain brake on, tear cuts, and no goddamn helmet. This idiot does not know what he's doing, and if you know him personally smack some sense into him. This kind of nonchalant attitude is the reason theres so many deaths in the industry
I was about to say the same thing. I'm an arborist myself going on 1 year. So an amateur and not certified yet. I still knew he was making so many mistakes! also I'm tired of seeing improper cuts, that don't cut around the collar of the branch!
By watching his technic, I’m surprised he didn’t stack the other ladder on top of the one he was using, so he can get higher with even less effort …he obviously doesn’t like a throw ball and limb walking .. his 2nd tie in was his hand holding the rigging line while he was cutting ..smh
No gloves, no hearing protection, no eye protection, chainsaw still running while climbing, spurs instead of rope climbing, holding the saw with one hand....
Alot of tree cutters got balls of steel then. It's usually how tree companies using a group of five men get the job done. I used to work with Williams Tree and Stump service in Zwolle, Louisiana. I had a a man that worked with us named Troy who climbed those tree's so fast it'd make your head spin. Only problem is he can't hear worth a fuck,
yea what not to do!!! very poor work practice dude, 1 PPE, 2 One hand way too much, 3 do ineed to go on!! i limb walk all the time its easy look for tie in points ( higher is Better, where applicable)
show me one case where a tree died as a direct result of spiking, bet you can't do it and if your insurance is going up due to others mistakes then you need to switch companies cause mine hasn't increased in 8 years and I know for a fact people have made insurance claims for damage caused by others...what else you got??
You’re an idiot. Show you an example. Trees decline, they don’t just die. A perfectly heathy tree can start decline and make it vulnerable and eventually die as a result of gaffing, and being the root cause. In the series of events leading to death, if the wounds caused by the gaffs had been avoided, the downward spiral would not have a catalyst to begin in the first place.
He's spiking into a tree that's not going bro be completely cut down, that's very bad and I would refuse to do it. I myself and this fella am not very good at climbing straight rope, srt or drt climbing only rope no spikes
Lmao your pussy ass could watch a million UA-cam videos and you're still not gonna climb high like this man. Learn some respect this guy's probably been climbing for years, old school style before every piece of knowledge was just right there for you.
@@bryanbabb5185 then why are you trying to talk down on the guy in the video like he just bought a saw and watched a UA-cam video. You know damn well he didn't just throw on a pair of spikes for the first time. I'm not saying he's a good climber, and he did smack the antenna. But if you're actually a tree guy you shouldn't be on here disrespecting another man who actually had the nuts to get up there and do the job
Wow, what a joke. Do NOT expect this kind of work if you hire an arborist guys. I think fhqwgads2 covered most of it. Couldn't see any hearing protection there either, not to mention having gear wrapped around your neck during the ascent... I know we all started somewhere but I would kick my guys asses if I knew they were doing this kind of stuff on the week-ends.
this is the proper way what a joke. he is a typical hacker with no regard fo customers property. he could of tied in high up un rigged high up and andwould never have a problem but either lazy or he just doesnt know rigging this video is a joke.
why? because his "style" isn't what you want it to be...he got it done, got paid and all is well, what's the big deal, was it your house, would you be the one that had to cover any loss...
Why the HELL would you use that stupid ladder? If you can spike so well???? Why would anyone do that? “Boy it’s those first 3 feet of climbing that just kills me!!!”
Yeah, not good to spike a tree you're not felling. Those spikes create small wounds that can cause rot pockets and harm the tree in the long term. But I used to do that too before I knew better. There is always an expert that say's... 'What you should have done.. yah de yah'
No proper PPE, lack of proper safe cuts, failure to secure self during cuts, no use of any brake, leaving the saw on tickover-the list is endless, I see another visit to A & E or the morgue.

Not only that, it seems like it’s not a removal so why is he spiking up?

Because it was hard enough for him probably getting there. You get what you pay for
Everytime I watch one of these it astounds me. Does anyone put up a video of tree work being done correctly...man! Also if he was taking the tree done why would he start with a ladder?....Please!
Is the ladder your only complaint? Lol Many tree guys use ladder because it is easier to scale up a ladder than a tree. It could save time.
I was expecting you to say something about him not having a hard hat lol
ladders are for roofers not tree guys . he did a good job
@@IloveSPIDERZ he already has his spikes on. Lol, the ladder saved him what? 4 feet? Haha
This is not as easy as it looks. It's damn dangerous. One slip-up and he can have a very serious fall or even accidentally cut himself with the chainsaw. Kudos to this guy.
All jobs are dangerous.paper cuts are the worst!

This cat is old school. He is no dummy. Believe me... he knows how to do it
I think the biggest obstacle was the first 5ft where the ladder was used.

I have to deduct a point or two from total score for wacking the antenna..

When the antenna gets hit like that, there is no argument to assertions that it was not a quality job.
Gotta tie in, one slip and your even more miffed!
How did he climb that thing?
Well I know who's the cheapest price in this town
Everyone's a professional
ain't nobody got time for that...
Yeah really lol
Rokkies
Red circle with the line through it. When you can climb a tree to prune it without leg spikes, re-post your video.
look out for that antenna!
No gloves, no hearing protection, no eye protection, chainsaw still running while climbing, spurs instead of rope climbing, holding the saw with one hand....
But he's licensed and insured!
The one safety measure that actually matters you didn't mention
Plus his 2nd tie in point is his hand holding the rigging line

Tree Branch Cutting - the right or wrong way? WATCH and You Decide!
I do snap cuts personally
not bad for an old guy
good job....
yea what not to do!!! very poor work practice dude,
1 PPE,
2 One hand way too much,
3 do ineed to go on!! i limb walk all the time its easy look for tie in points ( higher is Better, where applicable)

If you're arguing against spikeless trimming you're arguing for laziness

In the series of events leading to death, if the wounds caused by the gaffs had been avoided, the downward spiral would not have a catalyst to begin in the first place.
The tree doesn’t drop dead like you’re insinuating..it dies little at a time ..it will get pruned again before it eventually dies
Not a job for me but well done mate!
8 months later and you still haven't found me one case where a tree died as a direct result of these methods....tisk tisk...
IN TIME - since spikes put holes in the bark all over BUGS Walk right inside & start decay . spiderwoodman@gmail.com
Plus any professional Arborist has the Mental Kohunas to climb it right for pruning. spiderwoodman@gmail.com
looked good to me partner.
He's spiking into a tree that's not going bro be completely cut down, that's very bad and I would refuse to do it. I myself and this fella am not very good at climbing straight rope, srt or drt climbing only rope no spikes

#2022
A little bit of an oops at 3:24!! Nicelt done!!
He must have watched a UA-cam video before he did this video. "Of course I'm qualified to do tree care, I own a chainsaw".
Lmao your pussy ass could watch a million UA-cam videos and you're still not gonna climb high like this man. Learn some respect this guy's probably been climbing for years, old school style before every piece of knowledge was just right there for you.
@@dr8614 I've been working in the tree care industry since 1988. I know what a professional looks like.
@@dr8614 I've got 10 videos on here, you should check them out.

He's not that good if he hit the antenna and he's not tied in either

You would "kick your guy's asses" for something they were doing not working for you?
This is a clear example of how a prat gives arborist a bad name what a mug
This cutter is a danger to his chubby little self ! I wonder if he's still alive ?
3:08 why no undercut?
Because whoever this is doesn't know what they are doing!
An undercut would have been worse .. it would not swing towards him and gone straight down on the house
Spiked a tree to prune it. FAIL>
Whoever was watching ALF inside must of been disappointing.
this is the proper way what a joke. he is a typical hacker with no regard fo customers property. he could of tied in high up un rigged high up and andwould never have a problem but either lazy or he just doesnt know rigging this video is a joke.
How NOT to cut a tree!
Dude put a step ladder to climb 5 feet
why? because his "style" isn't what you want it to be...he got it done, got paid and all is well, what's the big deal, was it your house, would you be the one that had to cover any loss...
Tree Branch Cutting
Why the HELL would you use that stupid ladder? If you can spike so well???? Why would anyone do that? “Boy it’s those first 3 feet of climbing that just kills me!!!”
Because there’s no way in hell that guy is hip thrusting any tree
no good
Helmet dude;)
Wow
Yeah, not good to spike a tree you're not felling. Those spikes create small wounds that can cause rot pockets and harm the tree in the long term. But I used to do that too before I knew better. There is always an expert that say's... 'What you should have done.. yah de yah'
Branch = Galho
This dude got balls of STEEL....dont try this at home.
No safety not cutting right wounding tree
you can smash the house with a tree......but dont ever mess with the TV......fail.
you sure are one to be calling someone "good for nothing" what have you done other than call people names and act like a two year old..
@savagenomore
No proper PPE, lack of proper safe cuts, failure to secure self during cuts, no use of any brake, leaving the saw on tickover-the list is endless, I see another visit to A & E or the morgue.
I have to agree that was amateur. Wearing spikes on what appears to be a pruning job. Not to mention the piss poor rigging and cutting.
That's right - I would have put a steering wheel on the limb to be cut plus a tag line to ensure direction away from antenae
opps forgot my email address - spiderwoodman@gmail.com
ha, ive only been climbing for 3 months and i coulda done that wayyyy better.
piss poor job bro
