Man I gotta give u props. Im from LA n i see these cali palms all over n its tough Job to trim. Ill b first to say it. No way ull see a gringo or a black person do wut u do. Great job.
I’ve had clients do the same, they gave me all their gear for free afterwards 😁 that’s how I got a few of my ground saws. Given to me from clients who said “you’ll put them to better use”
@@mr.benitezhimself tienes muy buenos videos men. Tambien ando cortando palmas. Me come taron que en el swapmeet de las vegas vendian los harbess y picos. Tambien los voy a buscar en internet.
I’ve never used a tree squeeze myself, but, I’m sure you can. They are designed for it? Not sure. Tall palms like this that are trimmed yearly, I charge $150+ prices always change if they have more palms, under 15ft, or if they are neglected palms🌴
Like the vibe of your channel man. I’m not an arborist but I’d like to be able to trim my own trees and always learn stuff watching your channel. Also, I agree totally about investing in people because it pays big dividends just make sure you see good character in someone before you invest in him. “Don’t cast your pearls before the swine” meaning don’t invest in people that aren’t good people otherwise you’ll get taken advantage of and will get no return on your investment. 🤙
Use your zigzag as your secondary line as you climb. The point of double lanyard is that 2 systems need to fail for you to fall, in this instance one one has to fail and the double wrap around is pointless. Might make you feel more comfortable climbing too.
Your channel name cracks me up. very unique. thats very noble of you to have a desire for investing in people. Can you explain why you want a double flip line, I never climbed a palm before. lol I just bought that same friction saver too. Cheers from Jersey.
Nice! I have to give a shoutout to jersey! I was born in New York. I’m using double flip line because for those who don’t have a second landyard (I use the Petzl zillon). Simply helps your flip line not slip on a skinned palm as much. Hope that helps and makes sense! I love the adjustable friction saver bro!!🦾🌴
Can you come to my house in Tampa to cut down a skinny 20ft palm!? Haha! My tree guys are complaining about the location of this skinny ratchet palm and wanna charge me way too much. A girl can dream!! Be safe your out there.
Any carabiner used for life support must be auto-locking, have at least three consecutive, deliberate actions to prepare the gate for opening per ANSI Z133. They must have a minimum tensile strength of 5,000 pounds (22.24kN). Ones made from aluminum would be a good choice for life support
I get a lot leads for tree trimming but fawk lol when i arrive is tall as fk. I am like i need to learn how to climb and use ropes. Here is high on demand. I gotta learn some how.
It’s so much fun! I love this industry. Contact a local arborist and ask if he will teach you. Or books/videos help. But experience is best, in my opinion
My man, I got a palm tree of similar size in my backyard but it has dried fronds from the tip top to the very bottom. Not afraid to climb just don’t know how to deal with the fronds as I go up. Chainsaw? Keep up the good content
Dude...I hope you watched some additional videos before attempting that OR hired out the work. People die in palms like that and the amount to debris (if you do it all at once) is going to be unreal.
Guys I'm an ISA certified arborist and for the health of the trees I have to at least comment this is not the industry standard way to trim/prune trees. If you're not removing the tree you DO NOT spike up them. This causes wounds in the tree that can vector in pests, diseases and fungal infections. Especially palms which lack a secondary meristem and thus cannot CODIT (compartmentalization of decay in trees pioneered by Alex Shigo, considered the Einstein/tesla/Edison in the arboricultural world) those wounds. The canopy should be accessed via throwline and rope, using either srs/mrs (single rope system or moving rope system)
I understand what you’re saying and respect it. Im in Las Vegas. Where certified arborist are spiking up palms in commercial & residential properties decades before I was even born. Yet they are thriving Also; when a company is doing 20+ palms a day, i haven’t met a company that throws a line, sets up srt, for every single one. 1.) nobody has time for that 2.) clients don’t want to pay for srt 2.) clients “don’t care” after you explain to them the dangers of spiking a palm and over pruning a palm. Again, I’m in Vegas. And that’s how it’s done around here. Of course there are company’s with booms, but not everyone can or want to pay for the lift service. Thanks for watching 🌴
I love hearing a owner talking about "investing in people" It's not the 90's anymore tree service owners. 100 a day don't get it for experience. And stop having to high expectations of your employees. And....PAY EM.
there is this dude in 🇯🇲 Jamaica who built a clever way of climbing coconut trees, and that other dude who chainsawed a long bent tree, almost flung himself to another state, i have mad respect for people trusting their life on a piece of string
I don’t drink energy drinks as much. But what’s stressful is keeping up and replying to clients. Climbing is much more fun to me. Thank you for watching
Hey man just gotta say, I respect your hustle! awesome to hear you hiring new guys, training them, and helping expands others skills and knowledge. Keep it up!

Thanks 💯
Those adjustable friction savers look pretty handy. Probably a must have for doing palms.
A must for any arborist. It comes in handy when I tie myself into a crotch of a Mesquite tree here in Vegas. 🌴🌲🌳
@@mr.benitezhimself 100% I use it for the same thing out here all the time.
They help your line last longer too. Instead of having your rope running on the tree crotch
😁

Ladys and gentlemen here is a real hombre. My respect to you compadre. Im plumber and l do crazy stuff también.
It never dawned on me to use the other end of the flipline as a secondary line. You the man Louis! Hope that go pro still works

Can I use the tree squeeze on this type of palm? And how much should I charge to trim a palm just like this?
I’ve never used a tree squeeze myself, but, I’m sure you can. They are designed for it? Not sure. Tall palms like this that are trimmed yearly, I charge $150+ prices always change if they have more palms, under 15ft, or if they are neglected palms🌴
Mr. Benitez Himself you’re the Man! Ok yeah for sure! Once you know what you’re doing that sounds like pan comido. Stay safe always Primo! God bless!

I use the tree squeeze and it works just fine
$150 to climb and trim ???!!!

When trimming Mexican fan palms with skin is better to use longer gaffs or can I use the short ones also
Thanks for the tips. Where in Vegas can you get the gear
I have a link affiliated with Amazon, just lmk what piece of gear you are talking about
Use your zigzag as your secondary line as you climb. The point of double lanyard is that 2 systems need to fail for you to fall, in this instance one one has to fail and the double wrap around is pointless. Might make you feel more comfortable climbing too.
You’re not wrong my friend. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching
Small or large gaff’s?
Short gaffs
Looks kind of fun
Can you share a list of equipment used?
ok so my question is , how and what is the rope u use to anchor and able to remove it after u descend down,
how do I cut down a palm tree safely
Bomb it by cutting and chucking
Notch cut
Or rig it out
Thank you for sharing and be safe bro

Safety safety you can have too much safety
How do you get up to the crown of the big palms with the massive ball of old skins ? Do you skin it or have a trick for getting past it?
Two points of attachment
Can i get another sip of the red bull.... The lebron james of palm tree trimming
I climbed in 4 hours 10 of those and I was beat. I used filp and swung from one to another they where 15 feet apart. That was fu. But a trip.
Yo uso las Americans saddles no confio mucho los harness y las saddles puedes user 2 lanyards para subir y ya despues me bajo con el zig zag
Tall palm tree!!
Approximate height of this palm tree ?
Minimum 45ft
Dope bro. But how do you get down? I haven’t climbed a palm tree before so I would like to see a video about climbing down the tree.
I rappel down using my friction saver and climbing line
How much weight will the ropes handle, am thinking of doing tree pruning I am in Spain, I am currently 17stone ?
Que dios te vendiga saludos cuidate
Yea you gonna need them wings up there. 🤣
Good job dude

Dudé You are missing out on the energy a datorade smoothie made out of dates from a date palm. They leave energy drinks in the dust
And you know how to climb palm trees if I were you I'd be picking myself dates and eating for free

Climb safe 🌴
Shout out AZ what’s a quote for a palm tree like that ?
@@joaquinlona6968 next time
Depends on the palms and how many they have
Wondar. Supar
Here in Arizona guys are charging from $50 -$100 for a tree like that palm.
Damn that’s cheap
I think Arizona's types of palms are awesome to have a great trim styles like hurricane trim which is called a commercial/tight trim
muy buen video ese 👍🏽🗿
Gracias
Will you teach me to climb?
Sell the leaves for sukkot
What is sukkot? I only sell the firewood of trees like pine and mesquite here in Las Vegas
So you can't sell the palm leaves
And also can you come cut palm tree leaves in my garden we are looking for someone
What fruit this tree give it is eatable
These palms don’t produce fruit
I could do that for about the first 12ft. then I would freak out.👍🏼
Just watching this my balls are weak!!! Stay safe brother
This video terrified me. You got balls as big as church bells.
😂😅 thank you
😄💪👍

Where you located ?

What are the tips to climb what do you need ?
Invest in people I like that...good advice

Imagine it didn’t say go pro falls from helmet
You spiked the tree in my opinion there are no tips in tricks when you wanna trim trees the correct way! Just my two cents
WOW that is scary .........
Rebull no
Pero me gusta 😫
Wimp
your whole life depend on your equipment, make it at least 3 safetys bro
2 points of attachments make you pretty secure. 3 times isn’t bad either. It isn’t necessary tho, but it’s all preference and how you feel up there
