Add this to my list of jobs I wouldn’t do even if you paid me a zillion dollars. Skyscraper window washer, crane operator, tall ship sail letter-outer, transmission tower technician. Literally any job that’s more than six feet off the ground, I’m out. Huge respect to these guys.
This brings back memories. i did this for over 40 years. Tree removals were my specialty. It was always interesting determining where to make the pie cuts, which way the branch would go when lowering and the like. I am now 72 years old and those days are in the past, but it was great to watch you guys in action. Very professional.
*Wow, 40 years of tree removals? You must have been the Gandalf of the garden, always knowing where the branches would fall! Glad to see we’re still making those old-school tree-trim legends proud!*
So good to see a video of people doing something properly and professionally. As for the views from the top of the tree, crikey, I felt sick, 4 feet is enough for me. Nice one you guys.
You're more of an artistic engineer than anything else, angling those cuts just right so that the limbs fall precisely where you want them to. Great job!
Great but great great job. It's scary to see how that tree had almost no bark and some branches were really rotten. It must have been dead for many years
I climbed thousands of trees as part of my forestry job. Mensuration and folia sampling etc, we ALL hated climbing dead trees. You were really just guessing how structurally sound the tree was. We had trees as big as this one fall or break when we had people up them. It looked dangerous and it was. Pretty amazing effort.
Wow, I’ve never watched filming from that angle before! (Now I know what a birds eye view is really like) big respect to you boys for the careers you have chosen, I hope you realise how valuable you skills really are!
Very nice video . Clearly a real pro ,cutting down trees. I myself like it when i cut trees in a ground level. Not high in the air. Greetings from Finland,!
As clean as they come. It’s good to see the planning behind it all. Definitely at the top of your game and it’s good to see and learn from. Like a graceful Ninja in the trees 💯
Very nice work Harry. I saw no real improvements to be made. Couple of potentials; At 6.00 minutes. Protect your uphill hinge as much as possible when swinging side lean especially on short grain stuff like gum. Straighter that back cut is the easier they fold over. I don’t reckon this tree maxed out your fuel capacity but I grew a valuable and silently rewarding habit of switching off after almost every cut. Saves heaps of fuel and a bit of noise and heat. AAA+++
The climber ascends knowing the tree is absolutely dead before going up. Confidence is off the charts not to mention the absolute skill once you are up there. I have been skydiving but was more comfortable jumping out at 15,000 feet because of my chute. Up there you are all by yourself and nothing else.
It was a lot of fun watching this video. I started going to work in 1954 need us to say I’m not climbing anymore I stopped when I was 75 but what was interesting you use a static line when I start a claim and we use a Bowsens, not and we made our own saddle out of the rope, which was Manila with a double Bolin knot on the bite good job, Guy. There’s not many of us left who can work like that on a tree like that. Take care be safe.
I’ve climbed and taken down hundreds of trees, big ones, dying ones, some dead ones, but dead like that spooks me. Maybe those “gum “ trees stay strong.. ? Great work.
Que trabalho mais lindo, quanta adrenalina!!!......já assisti vários vídeos de pessoas cortando árvores, e em seguida, derrubando telhados de casas próximas ou amassando carros....😲😆 Meninos, esse lanchinho me deixou salivando 😍 pareceu delicioso! Parabéns pelo trabalho, pela equipe e simpatia 👏👏👏👏🍬🍬🍬
Any chance I get to pull over and drop big tops I will. Why not, time is money and dead trees can never be trusted. Good job man, always love your videos!
Absolutely fascinating! Everyone in that neighborhood can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to these guys. I’m glad it’s you up that tree and not me though. Definitely not my racket! Bravo! 💪🏼😎👍🏼
Loved tree service work in almost every way, but I'll never miss climbing dead trees. Tree service is a great job to have in the winter here in Minnesota, easy to stay warm on the coldest of days.
You die if you: • screw up a critical knot; • mishandle your saw; • screw up a critical cut; • use a rope that's too worn; • use a harness that's too worn; • stand in the wrong place near the tree; • get your clothing tangled on a falling limb or log; • get your clothing tangled in the chipper; • rappel down the trunk poorly; • encounter lightning or high winds while up the tree; or • panic. Yeah, these guys deserve respect and large paychecks.
" Wow" this takes some nerves to accomplish, and elevates arboriculture to another level.....Respect & Admiration to the team for their skills and video content.
Gotta do this kinda work with a wind speed of zero. Gotta be trim but in great shape as well. Under 40 helps too so you're livelihood duration is limited.
I had a similarly huge dying gum removed from my backyard recently. I was going to go out for the day whilst they did it. Instead, I sat staring, spell bound by the aerial ballet, poetry in motion display by the crack team of tree surgeons. It is as much art as artifice and I take my hat off to them all!
Very fine piece of work, but this video was nauseating!! I'll never get over my fear of heights. Question: Is the wood usable for projects from a dead tree like this? It seemed very sturdy.
Nevermind the what if or should would could 😂🤣 this dude is onnn!! He went home to his family that's the main thing but anything can happen aye boys... tuff!! solid work bro💪🏾 from aotearoa n.z
I'm training to be an arborist and the one thing that really sketches me out is climbing a big dead tree like this. How can you be sure that it'll take your weight? Freaky!! Well done!!
When I saw the title of the video saying ‘Dead Tree’ I assumed it would be newly dead or dying not matchstick dead!!! Brave men performing brilliant work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That's what I was thinking aswell but I haven't cut down a tree yet alone 30 feet in the air. And it does make sense that they feel competent and safe in their work to not need to rig but as a lawncare worker like me you hate to see the ground damage
Good vid. How is it that you determine if a dead tree will hold your weight and not collapse? It looks like the safety line holding the climber is the top of the tree. If the tree gave way it appears the climber is sol.
you can definitely see and feel when the tree is too dangerous to climb, and and know when your pushing the limits. this tree although very dead, still had good structural integrity close to the trunk and main forks. only the ends of the branches were getting rotten and brittle.
We just bought one of those giant slingshot things at the golf course I work at. It works so much better than swinging a bag in a circle and hoping you let go at the right time to get it through the branches. Also, it works very well for sending golf balls across the pond.

Wuaaaaah. 😵💫Seeing something like that from a "first-person" perspective always makes my knee muscles cramp up. How do you actually test that the branch over which you shoot the carrying rope is strong enough? Are you only hanging from one rope? No backup? Huge respect for your courage, calmness, precision and professionalism! Edit: just a few seconds later my "backup" question gets answered. But still ... 🙈
Quite the incredible exercise routine at the end of the video. Oh to be young again when the body just works & doesn't get injured by every movement needing weeks, months or years to recover, heal or at least adapt to life changing injury that old tissues can no longer bounce back from. We become only too similar to the dead tree with age. Not to detract from the video -- it is all amazing.
Nice work Harry. Is your tie in point a running bowline with a long tail and a figure8 stopper knot at the end? Reason I ask is because here in the states it gets looked frowned upon.
@@TreeClimberHarry I've heard (but never seen) that the bowline can loosen with repeated loading and unloading. I don't think it's "rated" for life support without the Yosemite tie-off.
Wow those trees get crispy! The closest tree we have to that is an elm after it catches Dutch elm disease. They lose all their bark, but are still pretty strong most of the time. (Didnt know if your trees are called mountain ash or eucalyptus) STAY SAFE BROTHER GREAT VIDEO
Thanks Stihlborn, yeah sometimes when they die they stay strong but brittle, other times they turn to mush and you can't trust them at all. this was super hard but still strong thankfully 😅. these trees are called Eucalyptus Regnans, but common name is mountain ash.
@@TreeClimberHarry just found your channel, good work, nice drop cuts. yes, alot like a dead elm here in the states. great work in the gym, that is beyond my age now:) but I still keep up with my son. ua-cam.com/video/KnjIs6xRCWA/v-deo.html keep up the great work, stay safe.
I'm in the southeastern US and planning on having some trees cut down in the near future. They're going to probably hate us. lol We've got an approximately 100' pine...I believe a Loblolly pine, in our back yard. The top part of the tree has healthy looking green pine needles and there are some branches at the very top, but the lower portion is starting to develop these "open cracks" of sorts. Not sure if it got struck by lightning or what. I also see something weird happening with the roots like they're starting to slowly hollow out or something and it's like the bark on the base is slowly shedding and hollowing. These cracks and the root thing are a fairly new event. Some years ago, one night we heard a lot of cracking and I woke up the next morning to a pile of branches about 4' high and hundreds of pounds worth. Basically one of the upper branches must have fallen and had a domino effect all the way down. This is in a residential yard and houses are pretty close together. There are literally just a few branches at the very top. Will they climb such a tree and charge a bit less seeing as how there are virtually no branches or would it likely be a price based on height alone as if there are full branches on it? I also have a couple of pines of similar height that previously had ivy vines that had grown up it considerably and it took a long time to kill the ivy, even after cutting the vines. Finally the ivy died and left this huge weeping mass of dead vines hanging off about 3' in all directions. They are somewhat loose and come off if pulled, but I'm trying to figure out how a climber would address that going up a 100' tree. Finally, a probably 25-30 foot at best pine that is still essentially a 'baby' pine...but it has grown so that it's considerably bent and sways a lot in the wind. Fun part: it's also just feet away from a chain link fence, but fortunately it's only maybe 6" or so in diameter. They should be able to drive whatever equipment back there that they need if I take a little bit of a fence down. Will that generally help things if they can get at it more with equipment and trucks?
This is amazing and skilled work. I have a great fear of heights and those views from the top had me cringing....I don't know how those guys do it, but they do it well 👍👍
Respect! 👏👏👏👏👏👏❣️ I climbed up the dead tree in my garden to cut it with a black and decker electric!!! chainsaw. That's the moment you realize that it isn't easy! I took down some branches, but I took a good decision not to continue! I hadn't the equipment nor the knowledge to be at the height of successe.
Add this to my list of jobs I wouldn’t do even if you paid me a zillion dollars. Skyscraper window washer, crane operator, tall ship sail letter-outer, transmission tower technician. Literally any job that’s more than six feet off the ground, I’m out.
Huge respect to these guys.
Quite. I’d be worried about ending up six feet under the ground.
I'm with you Ima, no way would you get me up there
Fruit picking?
So you don't fancy being the chief International Space Stations' chief window washer ? Man I'd love that .....
yup
This video serves as a reminder that there’s levels to this game. Absolute professional at the top of his game. What a pleasure to view.
I actually was nervous watching it. Great job.
He can nearly stack em where they land.

What amazing skills you have!!!!!! You have this down to a fine art!!!! Thanks for sharing this video ❤!
That was amazing to watch. I held my breath the whole time you were cutting the branches. never mind the height.
you guys are excellent.
Good to see a professional who knows what he is doing. I've seen a lot of youtube videos, where cars and houses get destroyed.
Very nice video . Clearly a real pro ,cutting down trees.
I myself like it when i cut trees in a ground level. Not high in the air.
Greetings from Finland,!
you sir, are a bad ass. I'm 65, video made me wish I was 20 so I could apprentice with you. amazing professional!
As clean as they come. It’s good to see the planning behind it all. Definitely at the top of your game and it’s good to see and learn from.
Like a graceful Ninja in the trees 💯
I use to be a faller 40years ago this bloke is bloody good good on ya mate
since then, tree cutting saw engines also improved with better high perfornance lighter 2 stroke engines and improved 2 cycle oil technology

Harry, you have “it” . Excellent job brother. I climbed for a little under 27 years. I started at age 15. I knew when it was time to stop.
Very well done mate 👍 Same for advice-givers in the comments too....they certainly know how to talk these trees onto the ground
Thanks Reg!
Dude you got some raw skills. I enjoy the vids. Keep them coming.
You die if you:
• screw up a critical knot;
• mishandle your saw;
• screw up a critical cut;
• use a rope that's too worn;
• use a harness that's too worn;
• stand in the wrong place near the tree;
• get your clothing tangled on a falling limb or log;
• get your clothing tangled in the chipper;
• rappel down the trunk poorly;
• encounter lightning or high winds while up the tree; or
• panic.

My goosebumps on heights… you are a brave man
You’re braver than me, there’s no way I’d trust that rotten old tree. Great job man!
Harry, you must have huge balls or crazy or just both!
That tree has been dead for 15 years,stupid or no fear or sence of it.Every tree is different.
Tree was dead but not rotten trunk was or appears to be solid dead wood
Gotta do this kinda work with a wind speed of zero. Gotta be trim but in great shape as well. Under 40 helps too so you're livelihood duration is limited.
an impressive tree it was. the wood is dry and still stong, listen to the sound when the big pieces fall! impressive work!
Love your video Harry.
The trigger for the Big Shot is well worth the money.
Thanks for the content brother! I learn something every time I watch.
Парень просто герой! Умница! Безопасных дней в твоей работе! Спасибо.
a great job guys, I got vertigo just watching.. thanks for sharing and best wishes from NZ

Amazing work guys, follow through shots as the limb falls to the ground is top notch.... And the awesome thing is that you are having a blast!
This is beyond my imagination! God bless you.
You're a true tree cowboy! Wow, watching you zip down the rope like Spider-Man. Your skill is off the charts.
Nice work, gotta love a good drop zone. looked solid enough to rig off but it saved a lot of time.

P.s. what is ur vegan pie recipe? And were the brownies vegan too?
That's professional right there! Especially dead spars, looks like a fun job although I'd probably limit myself to half a brownie!!
The last part of the recording shows that it is not tree climbing alone that makes those guys fit !!
Brilliant, the customer waits till the tree is that fucked before getting someone it to climb it...
yep gotta love it 😩🙄
litterally 90% of the job is climbing dead trees lol wish ppl would call sooner 😓
They won't call until it's beyond all hope
They think it's easier to remove a dead tree or cheaper, it's a common thought process I've come across.
Excellent work!!! Very smooth. You should get a knee ascender.

and also tell us those UFO technology rope bells and whistle contraptions used to climb up more efficiently than a monkey would be able to accomplish!

They should be able to drive whatever equipment back there that they need if I take a little bit of a fence down. Will that generally help things if they can get at it more with equipment and trucks?
hats off boys, awesome job, I don't know how you climb up those trees so high, I get sick going up a ladder.
A ladder is more dangerous than being tied in to a tree
Yikes! I was near crapping myself just watching this young bloke up there! Great job! 👍
Yeah, but it's always better to squeeze some brownie in rather than out.
This is amazing and skilled work. I have a great fear of heights and those views from the top had me cringing....I don't know how those guys do it, but they do it well 👍👍
Fascinating. My sphincter was tightening watching every minute of that, don’t know how you do it!
Respect! 👏👏👏👏👏👏❣️ I climbed up the dead tree in my garden to cut it with a black and decker electric!!! chainsaw. That's the moment you realize that it isn't easy! I took down some branches, but I took a good decision not to continue! I hadn't the equipment nor the knowledge to be at the height of successe.
What ascender do you guys use? That looks super quick
