    and I quote "Ok, have a sense of humor people, blaming it on the groundsman was a jest, of course it wasn't his fault." That's absolutely true it wasn't his fault, but the book of tree law states (page 8, section 2) IT'S ALWAYS THE GROUNDIES FAULT. Broken fences, broken windows, broken greenhouses, third world poverty......all the groundies fault!!!!

      This true. I shit you not, I moved a stump one day that hadn't been loaded out yet, since it was right near where the but of the tree we were dropping would be. Moved it out of the way at a 45 degree angle. Apparently they had a magnetic attraction because fuck if that tree didnt hit that stump when the dude dropped it. Nailed a fence.

    • @aaronm4706

      This is exactly the kind of person I'd want to work with. He let's you know when you're doing good, calmly lets you know if you need to do something different, and can calmly handle a situation (even crack a few jokes) when things don't go quite right. The guys that yell and scream their heads off aren't doing anything but making the job harder to do.

    • @joeblowseph2433
      @joeblowseph2433 4 роки тому +4

      Very true. The climber didn't even have to compliment the ground guys that often but that is still 100 times better than screamers.

    • @J.Arias42
      @J.Arias42 3 роки тому +2

      A little praise does go a long way but if you have to tell your guy on the rope everytime what to do, not good I think. Someone looks like a rookie. Which makes the owner look bad.

    46 years ago when I was 18 years old my buddy and I took the initiative to start a tree removal business before we went to college. . We purchased two chain saws and lots of ropes. Our first job went very well. As young kids we made more money in two days than we could have doing just about anything else for the entire summer. Our second job was a bit more complicated and we used my mothers car to direct and pull the falling limbs away from the nearly home as we removed the limbs from the top towards the base of the tree.. We changed positions with me now on the ground cutting up the fallen limbs while my friend re positioned himself to cut the next limb of the tree. As I was cutting the fallen limbs on the ground I felt splashes on my back. I reached around and noticed the splashes were blood. My buddy had lost balance and when he tried to regain stability he pushed the spike of one of his climber boots into his calf muscle severing a major blood vessel. He was losing consciousness when I discovered the problem. I lowered him down on the climbing line and raced him to the nearest hospital going 100 MPH. He was given a unit of blood and had the deep laceration repaired. It was a very frightening experience for two 18 year old kids.

The scariest, “hope that’s an inactive gas line.”

I've removed probably several hundred trees in the 20 years I've been here and have never seen anything like that. I'd just chalk that up to bad luck, get the lateral fixed, and move on. Great job! Very entertaining to watch, and I'm going to add this to my list of videos I show when training new people about tree work.

      Same here. I did climbing until 2008 when I was about 50' up in a pine tree and the roots of the tree gave out. Injured everything _but_ my back. I really, _really_ miss climbing, but I don't dare do it any more. I still love heights, but if I were to have another accident, I might not be so lucky next time. I can still run lines on the ground, and I still cut trees for firewood, but I sold my spikes and keep my boots on the ground now. Awesome video.

Dad was always in a rush to get it down because we was always behind in bills it was rough times. He cut the top out with the climbing line still tied in. Basically slung shot him too the ground. He survived and is doing better but still has life long problems. I’m the climber now I hate it because I’m under paid by my uncle. But I do it because it’s all I know and have ever done.

    Your climbing videos are always fun to watch. Just the right combo of danger, adventure and skill. My wife has asked me more than once (as she watches your videos with me) "why is watching a guy trim trees so interesting?" I think it is because we appreciate your work ethic and you are truly good at what you do. For me, I would add that it is satisfying to see something so untamed being tamed by one man (with a ground crew of course).
    I am constantly impressed by your ability to predict where a limb will fall once it is cut. Perhaps you could do a video sometime that details your process of tying off a branch. For added interest, place a target on the ground that you are aiming for just to highlight your skill.
    My favorite video will always be F-U-D-T-S. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

      Mud Puddle There is a lot of skill involved in this job, however using a chainsaw one handed up a tree while cutting is very unsafe and should not be aloud even if it is quicker. People like to build their reputation in this industry by how quick you can get a tree down safely and quickly, with two hands on the chainsaw also! But you could argue that some company’s let you get away with one handed cutting where as some others don’t.

    I know this is an older video that being said, I have been working for my best friend for about 2 years now doing tree work. I was climbing certified in the military and was an instructor at one point. So I helped him learn gaffing techniques.
    Fast forward to today and we are a licensed, bonded, and insured. We are starting to expand rapidly and are moving into bigger and bigger tree work. I mainly stay on the ground now do to my age and military disabilities. I’m learning more and more rigging techniques. Any other videos you may be able to recommend for “semi instructional” content would be great!

      I don't blame you. I was finishing concrete standing on a 10 inch beam.....barefooted and 8ft above a hardened concrete floor. I stood up too fast. Got overbalanced and knew I was going over backwards. Decided quickly that landing feet first was preferable to flat on my back, so I stepped back and landed flat on my feet. Hurt like h_ll. Have often thought about how much worse it might have been. Both of my sons were afraid of heights and both now work on wind turbines (+-260 ft) for a living. The pictures they take from standing on top, down to the ground, give me vertigo. Heights didn't used to bother me, but as they got more used to it, I seem to have gotten less so. Of course they are harnessed and tied into a restraint system, but still dangerous.

    Three years ago I had a 60 foot tree in my backyard that I was afraid would blow over during a wind storm. I was crazy enough to think that I could take it down myself. After climbing about half way up, looking down at all the potential damage I'd cause on my neighbor's decking roof and his storage shed, it was actually cheaper to hire a professional crew to do the job and haul the stuff away. They also ended up with a lot of firewood to sell.
    Two weeks ago, my 25 foot pine tree blew over onto my other neighbors garage. That was an easy one to do starting with the lower branches and all the trunk branches to lessen the weight, then onto of the garage roof to lessen the load on the roof. After cutting the trunk down to lower roof level, only then started to remove the soft branches cushioning the weight on the roof. Turns out that there was no damage done to the roof because green branches cushioned the weight and the trunk at the bottom was resting against a fence. When I watched this video, these guys have my respect on the way their tree came down. Too many people don't realize that ir's a science to take a tree down without damaging anything. Somebody going wild with a chainsaw can hurt property or themselves through sheer ignorance if they don't take the tree down in a logical manner.

Too many people use that junk pvc though with no master valve so water is always filling the lines way out into the yards usually to the valves but the right way to do it is 1foot of pvc off the backflow or whatever 2-3 foot. Stay close to the house and put a master valve coming off the pvc right at the house then run 1 inch black poly line throughout the whole system. Dry throughout the whole yard if you hit something main line it doesn’t just blow water infinitely out of the ground til you find a backflow to shut off. Tbh I wouldn’t let this one get you down, it’s more unique than anything that was meant to happen lmao 😂

      Okay you can't get out of something legally or maintain a good business reputation by calling the owner a dumbass for not having the lines marked. So yes, people know what I'm saying regardless of your personal comprehension on it. It's common sense to mark lines regardless of the material the lines are made of or what they're used for to let workers know what's below their feet. What if that was a gas line for some reason? That could've been a huge mess because of the homeowners negligence and lack of common sense.

    Forget the "oops". You (and crew) are incredibly skilled at what is an incredibly hazardous job. Nothing but respect after watching that.

    Those poly lines are really easy to repair.. it probably wasn't even damaged either.
    Now if it had been a gas line, that'd be a little scarier.. but those are usually much deeper.

      iAndy wth where do you see poly. Every system I put in is fully dry and flex 1inch black poly main and lateral lines but this is a lateral pvc line. That shits twig, it just shatters. Junk system lol

    Nice job. I have been doing tree work for 15 years. I can tell you know what your doing with rigging. And nice job encouraging your crew. As far as the pipe hose, that happens to the beat of us.

    For a 19 year old, I find working for a tree cutting service very entertaining. I'm 19 bout to turn 20 and I've been working with cutting trees for a few months but one thing I like more about your videos is how you climb the trees and cut off any branches, I just use a bucket but climbing would be making work so much more fun.

  • @FishFind3000

    I thought you crushed a sprinkler head, not unearthed a line. Just get your branches to hit flat and not like shovels. You will be fine

      Theres a relationship between the length of the piece being cut and the distance that it falls from that determines how it hits the ground...

    It could have happened to anyone to have that happen the homeowner should have had those lines marked for your company

      homeowners typically have zero idea where the irrigation guy ran the sprinkler lines.

    • @Aj_0400
      @Aj_0400 6 років тому +1

      Blake, they come through and mark them with spray paint. They obviously don'y know where they are, that's why they have them marked

    • @samuelluria4744
      @samuelluria4744 6 років тому +32

      Not the homeowner's "job" to do mark-outs.

    • @samuelluria4744
      @samuelluria4744 6 років тому +3

      (Having said that, Irrigation companies, unlike actual Utility Companies, could/should be providing schematics of their conduit, as a service to the client. Utility Companies are precluded from doing this for various logistical and legal reasons, but irrigation is different, and is on a property-by-property basis - nobody other than themselves stops them from providing this service.)

      Nathan - If you are going to survive in the tree business, be ready to do TONS of legwork for your clients. Setting up mark-outs is just the ABC's.... There will be 12 other companies nearby, who will do this legwork, and that's just the way it goes....not only that, but, having taken care of the mark-outs, you still may lose the job to someone else....unless you have a magic system that will guard against that, Lol.....
