"I don't know how to make it better and that's not my focus right now" hahahaha I can't relate to that more while climbing funky trees, that was so funny 😅😅
Ah, you've been there before then. It really is. I love knocking the hard parts out first and being able to have fun with the rest of the tree. Thanks!
My friend Nice to see you back on the trees.. . again... you have a gift.... You should have been a teacher..😊😊 great explanations on what you're doing..👍👍
Super video guy. The cable/ phone lines in the beginning of the cutting are always a scramble to free up when the trees are allowed to grow willy nilly. I like it when your videos show you moving around in the tree, not just cutting - a la Travor Ahern's old videos. And you sure looked hot in the truck. Lots of guys have trouble with video bits and pieces shutting down on them 'cuz of the heat. Great comments at the end of the video about the couple running a tree service business. Stay healthy (and hydrated!). And keep up the good work (as Essential Craftsman says!). Cheers from W. Canada.
Thanks, man! It does seem like data lines get the least amount of maintenance and are therefore always tangled up the worst. It seems like go pros just don't like extreme elements in either directions. I've missed out on filming some really cool winter jobs because of that. Summer ones too I now that I think about it 😅 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I did not watch the video yet but looking at the thumbnail it reminded me of a tree I just got done with. Power company topped it years ago, it grew out under and through the lines then extended out over another set of lines, there was 4 sets total I was trying not to hit, mix in a line of cedars, 2 sheds, 3 houses, 2 garages and a gas line. Made it happen but dang was that a slow moving process. Not to help speed anything up, I also could not fit my ram or dump trailer in the yard. Had to drag the haullotte and chipper around with the Tacoma.
You need to get ahold of Stampy supplies guilty of tree treason I think you would have an awesome time working with him and he could probably teach you a lot
Good job fella any day you head home is a good day ! I’ve been in a lot of those wire trees I love them actually it’s a puzzle to figure out . Just from watching I know videos and pictures done do trees justice but you could probably used some span rigging for some of those tops and the limb over the neighbors power ? I have spanned with new ropers to make sure the stuff I cut goes away from me ! Lol stay safe
You're right Eric, it was definitely a good day in that regard! I did ponder span rigging, but the tree was just so limited in the position of every spar. We also didn't have much to work with in the way of vertical room which we would have needed for span rigging. I do lobe a good span rig though. I've gotten stuff out of some awkward places with it!
@ericchristison9680 for sure man, I really appreciate you're understanding of that. So many folks don't seem to grasp how different everything looks through a camera lens 😅
Humm... let's see how you do. I just watched "Electrical Hazards in Tree Care w/ Blakeslee - TreeStuff Webinar Series" a couple of days ago ;) Edit: I enjoyed the video. Thanks. You are a very positive minded person, and you have plenty of luck too ^^
Haha, it's really good to be well educated about conductors. I could definitely stand to learn more about them. I'm sure you noticed that I wasn't anywhere near anything over 240v. I don't mess with that stuff 😬
Hi @@zaccheus , thanks for your reply. I did not know what kind of wires that was. I read your reply to another comment, it seems it was only Data cables, so ignore my concern about safety around power lines. The video is actually very instructive though ;) Cheers
@diegovd7215 Your comment was a good one! If you were thinking about it, someone else who was to afraid to ask probably was too and benefitted from seeing the comments!
Silver maples amongst other species should be illegal to plant in residential areas. I really dont like em. Rare to see one not split off at the stump into 3 or 4 leaders. Aren't those jobs fun! Did a huge pin oak with avoidables on all 4 sides. Let the good time roll. BTW, the music was fantastic.12:15 YIKES! That had me leaning my body trying to help it go left past the house.
Great video!! Get all those lines running to the house dropped next time. I know its a fun challenge, but its a lot more fun when you don't have to dodge lines lol.
Haha, that's a luxury I don't have. I get to deal with what's there when I get there 😅 I have been on a few jobs where my client did that. It's handy, but sometimes residents don't want to deal with the inconvenience 🤷♂️
@anthonyr6286 Around here, the power company will do it for $160 to take the line down amd put it back up. I had another tree service tell me they were able to get it done for free 🤷♂️ I've never called in to have it done, I've only heard about others doing it.
Thanks Bill, all is well. That is so kind of you, I really appreciate it! I hope all is well for you, too. I see your comments on other tree work channels often.
@zaccheus Yeah, I'm doing good buddy. Just work and work and same thing every day never ends. You know the life of a tree guy fun fun, ha. Yeah, I'm blessed, buddy definitely.
@br-dj2ti I do know what you mean Bill. Hopefully thi gs will slow down for you here this winter and give you a little bit of a break 😅 glad to hear all is well 😊
Hahaha, I was hoping you'd get to see it in there. It was perfect, certainly glad I wasn't wearing one of my cotton shirts 😅 thanks again for sending it!
Right off the bat you were hand sawing branches caught up in the wires. What precautions do you have to take in that situation? I always run away from anything within 10 feet of wires.
I imagine all those low wires all bunched together are things like phone, internet, cable - stuff like that. Then the home service wires - at least they are low voltage and insulated. Still have to be careful but nothing like typical power lines that are 13.8kv or higher.
Yes, those were data (internet and cable) wires which are all low voltage. I think they are mostly in the 5v range, but can carry more depending on the scenario as I understand. I definitely try to stay 10ft or more away from uninsulated conductors and wires I can't identify. Secondary wires and house service lines typically have 230 volts in them and are insulated (though the insulation can be cracked when they get old). Primary lines can have 5,000 to 30,000 volts in them and transmission lines have 50,000 to 150,000 volts in them. In this case the primaries were on the other side of the street.
@brandonswan9247 There are a bunch of different factors, I'd recommend pursuing some EHAP training to best learn about how to identify the various types of conductors.
It was an advanced SRT climbing class. I learned a bunch of stuff. I asked Keith if he had anymore classes planned, and he said he was working on a course schedule for 2024. If you don't mind sharing where your from, I'll pass that info on to Keith.
10:38 :-D Looks like South Park shake weight :-D :-D But in all seriousness - nice job. Do you have some experience with stump grinding? I'm about to buy 25 HP manually articulated grinder and I'm curious if you have some tips and tricks for beginer operator :-) Thanks.
Hahaa, I thought it was a kind of uncomfortable clip 🙄 I used to grind stumps with a rented 37hp or 100hp grinder, but thays about it. Only thing I can say is that it's super important to keep sharp teeth on them. Just like a saw, they'll make you mad real fast if they're dull 😅
That's hard to say. I'd definitely consider alternative access. If there is no possibility of getting a lift in there and no other trees around. I might decline to bid on the job.
I imagine they wouldn't because it's not tangled in any real important power lines. It mostly affected the internet and cable lines, and I don't think I've ever heard of those companies taking a tree down 😅
@br-dj2ti I was afraid it might be. I've seen some other ropes that are similar in color pattern. I don't know that names of them though. Rope is getting expensive these days
I'll be the politically incorrect one to say one handling a chainsaw at 11:29 probably would have been a bit safer than the somewhat awkward handsawing that is necessary with a handsaw.
@@zaccheusThe only dangerous part of hand sawing that limb was the fact you had to have your handsaw near the speed line sling strap where it might have gotten pinched when the limb fell, if you hadn't gotten it out of the way soon enough like you did. I do use a handsaw on small branches not worth starting a chainsaw for, and on things with precarious work positioning.
@@4.0gpa44 I gotcha. I did regret my choice in doing that when I watched the footage back. I think I could have made better decisions and made that a safer situation.
"hand saw ran out of bar oil" 😅😂
I was hoping someone would appreciate that 😅
"I don't know how to make it better and that's not my focus right now" hahahaha I can't relate to that more while climbing funky trees, that was so funny 😅😅
Can feel the mood/tension lighten as some sketchy cuts are under the belt. Always a good feeling. Nice video!

My friend Nice to see you back on the trees.. . again... you have a gift.... You should have been a teacher..😊😊 great explanations on what you're doing..👍👍
Thanks Carlo!
Health & time of year will always change the way the tree will respond
Thank you for your thoughts!
Your ground crew rocked it!
Yes they did! It's always the best to be hired by people who know how the game is played 🤙
I hate working over wires! Very strategic. Good job. I like the background music.
They are a special kind of frustrating sometimes 😂 I'm glad to hear you like it! Just trying to keep things lively 😊
Nice Work and good video! Your calm and cool demeanor is respectable given the intensity of tree work. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man!

Thanks!
Awesome work in/over&around those lines.
They freak me out.
I keep my distance always.
Great grind crew!
Stay safe
Thanks man! It's always good the stay a safe distance if you're not 100% able to identify them.
That was a challenging tree for sure! I'm not sure I'd want to do your job even with two good legs. Nice work!👍🏻
Haha thanks Kevin! Everyone is good at different things. I definitely know I couldn't handle myself in front of a crowd like you do!

I've spoken with him. I think we would both agree that tree work is quite different in the two different regions we work in.
Nice work, brother. Good goob by tge ground crew.
Thanks Bill! They were awesome. I. Looking forward to working with them again!
Nice job
Thanks Jeff!

Wires, wires everywhere and not a drop (zone) in sight.
Great video, in honour of our responders and fallen brothers and sisters on 9/11, Jesus Lord give them rest 🇺🇸

@@zaccheus that's definitely not a bad price. Free would always be minty 😁

See A LOT of bucket trucks around here on trees like that. It's so disappointing 🙄😂
😂😂 that might have been the tool for the job
@@zaccheus maybe.... but what's more fun??
