As soon as I saw your video about Jed, I came back and watched this for probably the fourth time. My favorite videos of yours always seemed to be the ones with him. He had a wealth of knowledge, and it was always fun to hear him teach and explain what he was doing. It seemed he truly had a passion for what he did. I feel horrible for his wife and daughters, and I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.
I had no Idea, Jedd, was an iconic skateboarder....RIP feller
I did the same thing. Really fun video to watch. Rest in Peace Jed.
It's so zad, watched it also a few times. The friendship which these guys had are not happening so often in life 😓rest in peace jed
We’re gonna miss you Jed! Your legend will live on. Prayers to the family
I didn’t know him but I’m already missing the potential knowledge he would have shared.
What happened to Jed?
@@rrssmooth6643 He passed around the 20th of January this year, doing a storm cleanup and the vibrations of his saw knocked loose a hanger.
@@Zyerhod1 Thank you, that is sad.
@@Zyerhod1 Sad, I miss this guy....he's one of those if you ever meet, you feel instantly connected to like he truly is your brother. May God bless the family. We love you Jed, glad you're still with us in spirit brother.
It’s crazy to think Jed’s gone. May he rest in peace.
What happened to Jed
@@glennhall8795 passed away from a tree removal accident
@@Xero_Cars sorry to hear that thanks for the reply
I don't often watch entire UA-cam videos twice, but when I do, its Jake and Jed climbing a huge cottonwood.
Right!! These two make captivating videos. I Love their style
Oh buddy when you see a vid with You, Gordy and Jed you know it's gunna be a good one
Can't believe Jed is gone. What an absolutely amazing guy!! Thank you for the time you gave us all with him, Lord!!!
quite a masterclass - in tree felling and camera work. thanks.
Rewatched this today your friendship and love for one another still touching. Miss ya Jed ❤
I really enjoy the videos with Jed. He seems like he brings the good vibes & always seems happy. You two make a killer team.
STAY SAFE
Great team work! I’m glad to see you and Jed still working together. It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos, keep up the great work!
Thank you! I love working with Jed!
I keep looking at Jed thinking he looks familiar. By the end of the video, it hit me. He looks a lot like Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers.
I have revisited this video several times. What a great collab.
I Have been an arborist since the 1980s. With some forestry (timber management) and logging mixed in. So this was very enjoyable, with its' mix of professionals working together. 🌳 🌲 You guys did SO well.
I have lost two wives. So it was nice to see the visit from your wife & kids.
And something else that matters to me; no nasty language. Thanks.
31:18 - "Jed refused payment for this..." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Inbred Jed is the sort of role model that I want my kids to look up to... Fantastic work, as always, Jake. Keep it up. 👍💪🇦🇺
And Jed’s comment how “this never gets old” when he was way up in the tree. 👍 Obviously loves what he does.
TOP Man, Jed
I’ve been climbing since 1985 & still enjoy every tree I climb. Started my business in 1985 to save trees on Long Island. I love to climb spikeless and prune.
By the way excellent job guys.
So glad to see you posting. I miss those Wyoming cottonwoods. You and August have inspired me to change careers. In the process of getting an Environment Science degree towards arbor culture and just received my climbing gear from treestuff. Jed’s tutorial on 8 ways to down a tree was a huge help. Keep up the good work guys, glad to see you two a team again!!
That is just amazing, @PatrickEaton!!! Congrats!!!

March 1, 2024. Jed has been on my mind the past few weeks. I first saw him in the video demonstrating different cutting techniques. Then I binged everything to catch up. Then I stayed current. I had to stop watching the videos from all of my different tree accounts for awhile after he was gone.😢
New to your channel. Was so stoked on your collabs with Jed. Just got the bad news a year later. He was my kinda guy, a man's man. You had the honor of working with Jed and learning from him, and now you have the opportunity to carry his memory forward. I think it is safe to say, Jed died doing what he loved. Our days are numbered, so enjoy the moments, and people around you whenever you can...
This is one of my favorites with Jed. He will never be forgotten by his tree brothers and sisters! 🌲❤🙏
How did he die?
@@williamkidd7996 On the job unfortunately. There’s a video somewhere on the channel explaining it.
That shot of Jed sending the top at 28:45 is an awesome shot. I know it was for safety, but man, the angle with all the chips raining down.. perfect.
I love the black and white photographs
Inbred Jed is a ROCKSTAR!!
That was insane, nicely done. Inbred Jed really knows his stuff.
I can easily sit through hours of these, thank you.
Same! It's good background noise..lol
Gonna miss Jeds wisdom
I have learned so much about climbing from you guys
RIP jed
To the memory of jed, the good men do lives on. May God bless all of you 🙏. Peace ✌ 🙏 ✨.
Jed is such a special dude. Super intelligent and an awesome heart, super nice guy by what it seems. Hell of a friend to have
I can’t get enough of these videos. Keep it up man. Much love from Texas
Hello I speak English and Spanish from Idaho live in Peru work for a logging company and mill trying to teach them safety and proper tools thank you for the tutorial watching is easier than trying to explain great job god bless keep the faith
3 pillars in the tree/saw community together getting it done... gotta love it
Hey cool you have a UA-cam channel!
@@GuiltyofTreeson yessir... i figure since i was an instant instagram celebrity why not become a famous UA-cam star lol... gonna give it a whirl at least... congrats on the new adventure... i think the best you have to offer is what you are currently working on and your future projects... this video was amazing and i wish i could have been there... nice work all
@@johnscustomsaws Just subscribed (can I say "first" like they do for comments? lol). Let's get this party started! \😃/
@@D_Zanzer lol... hey i would claim that title... first subscriber thats awesome!!! thanks my friend... too bad i have zero content for you hahaha
@@johnscustomsaws No worries my man, we all gotta start somewhere. Just like that big Cottonwood starting from a small seed. Maybe one day I'll be able to say I got in on the ground level before JCS got huge 😆 Good luck my friend.
155 ft. in the air and chatting like you're standing on the driveway. Very amazing to me and much respect to you guys since I'm getting dizzy sitting on a stool watching this!
Enjoyed this finally the real Guilty of Treeson. None of that Eastside Treeworks crap. You and Jed are where it's @ man.
Amen!!
Your content is great. Helped me take down a very large maple tree that ended up being completely hollowed out in the middle and I have never taken down a tree before. Thanks.
Used a makita cordless chainsaw as well. Lol.
Jed lives on through these videos ❤
Amazing video of guys that are true masters of their trade. One of your finest videos ever. Keep up the great work.
You guys are the best hopefully one day you guys get your own tree service company
That's sounds like a good idea but business has a way of killing a friendship. The amount of capital involved in a crane based tree company is enough to change everything about you that's good. If you can juggle both with a positive attitude your a special person.
They work for Eastside Tree Works in Fall City, Washington
@@tannertrevino2305 Not Anymore. Go watch his first video on this channel..
I really like watching the good times you all had , this video is great to see again. Miss Jed , ❤ too you all and his wife and kids
That was awesome. It's like the Super Friends of the Washington tree world. Treeson, Jed, Gordy and Tree Guy Mike all working together on one project. Always seen West Coast Saw's website and their amazing products. Loved seeing the man in action too. 5 Stars!
Jed is a legend. I think the man has earned a fresh nickname 😂.
Jedi
I think it's a rad nickname myself.
JED-eye
Agreed. Two people have mentioned "Jedi" or "Jed-EYE".
Such a cool, laid back chill & genuine guy.

Watching you and Jed together is awesome on so many levels!! I learn so much from watching and listening to you two. If you're ever wanting to come to Skagit county and make a video I own a small tree business, licensed and insured😉, and would love having you up and learning from you as I'm a 53 year old newbie to the business and am hooked! Sorry for the long comment, keep up there killer work!!
The family, awesome! Said it before and will say it again, so glad and happy for you that you're doing what you love on your own terms. For your family. Oh, and the treework was awesome as well, as usual.
Thank you ❤️
Love the conversations y’all have while up the tree. Technical, fun, observant. Awesome video.
I enjoyed your video immensely. I was also a professional arborist for 10 years. I had an accident and broke my neck 35 years ago. Both of you climbers are very professional.
Gordy really makes it look easy, to line up cuts on a big stalk like that amazes me and folks that’s why they make wrapped handles. Good job everyone 👍💪🏻
One of the best teamwork videos I have seen. Some very hard workers that really know what they are doing and always thinking of their safety. Well done!
Liked the long, detailed video with good explanations and amusing back-and-forth between Jed and Jake and the others. You are doing a fine job with your new channel
So glad you got to work with Jed! I enjoyed this video. Stay safe!
Great job teaching the anatomy of codominate growth with included bark. Every guy there are wonderful educators in addition to being highly skilled. Really glad you brought us along. Best wishes from my family to all of yours. 😁
Jake, IMPRESSIVE does not begin to describe my interest in watching these video's. Once I turn on the video, I do NOT un-glue my eyes from the event. I watch it with the utmost respect and admiration for the serious attention you all put to this work. Communicating clearly throughout the cuts and falls is the magic that helps make all of this go so safely. Beyond words how talented/brave you are!
Favorite tree vid ever ... Jed is forever in our thoughts.
Man, I feel that Jed is the kind of bloke that you could learn so much from by just being around the bloke or by sitting around a fire and having a few beers.
Excellent job Guys! I've spent hours 100+ feet in the air welding out of a manlift, but never hung off a tree that high, you guys got balls of steel! Great camera work Thanks for posting!!
This one I did watch all the way through.... hell of a job gentlemen!!! - Patrick
Man, just listening to Jacob and Jed banter while they're both up in the tree is wonderful.
Those buttery smooth cottonwood cuts. Easy cuttin
Nice to see Jed on the scene !!!
So much respect for what you guys do. No way in you know what your ever getting me up that tree. EVER.
Jed said it best. “Never gets old”.
Indeed Jed.
19:25 Jed is 120’ in a tree and both spurs slip, and the man just carries on the conversation like he stumbled over a root on the ground. Legend. I don’t know how you climbers do it, man! That made me tense up on my couch. 😂
I’ve had a 40’ head start in a tree when Jed has just plowed past me like I’m standing still. It was fun to watch him give you a run for your money and did it just for fun.
Yeah Kevin Jed’s the man!
Love your video's. I'm still a new subscriber however I think this one is my favourite for sure out 9f the 15 if watched. Loved it, we watched it on the big screen because suddenly the whole family has grown to love you Jake
Thank you 🙏
Best quote from this whole film: "You don't need shoes..." Thumbs up my man!!
Absolutely beautiful display of a team effort! That thing was a frickin monster. Very well done gentlemen!
Keep this vibe, Jake. I'm a layperson regarding your work, but was thoroughly engrossed as I have been with all your previous work. Everyone's interactions are filled with camaraderie, respect, and good natured banter -- it really stands out. That was an amazing tree(s), and each team member's critical role was highlighted. I really like that you did this, I'm sure you put a lot of thought and planning into how you wanted this to come together (and the editing).
WOW Awesome seeing another man doing what he loves! Kick ass PRO!!!!! Thanks enjoyed the show!
It never gets old watching this .
Couldn’t ask for more!! Thanks Jake!
Saturday morning, cup of coffee and an hour of You, Jedd and Gordy
Poplar Mechanic approved 👍💯
Awesome!
I was supposed to go to bed but you drop a video.
It was awesome the family had a cameo.
Jed is the best. Would really like to see more you two together. you guys get along great and make great videos.
So many lessons from beginning to end. Mad respect from a modest French tree surgeon. You guys rock! 💯🙌😁🎄
Absolutely loved it! This job reminded me of every side hustle job I did after company hours or on the weekends. Minimal equipment, patchwork of people with maximum skill sets, people with some skill sets and others armed only with onlooking enthusiasm. “Go to my car and get the “ _______” out of the trunk” yelled from working height brought such a smile to my face only another tree man could understand. Really hope to see more raw multiple camera shots edited together like this……and also work with Inbred Jed too. You guys are solid people 🤙
Just saying there's a bit of thanks going out to you guy's... I bought the Simington after watching you with big Mike ... bought a barker box off Gordy ...got schooled up on square ground ... Gordy made me 2 disc's for it and made a God chain ... on my MS460 it just smashes my MS660 ..its just the scariest thing ... seasoned woodsman go "I've never seen anything like that saw cut " ... now If I get that max flow ..but don't think I really need it ... who would have thought I'd ever say that. Now my 880 thats another story ... 35+% faster through the stump I think Thanks Jake
Had to revisit this video of you, Gordy, and Jed. RIP Jed.
Fifty years ago I spent summers in WV on a farm, we cut many trees for a small firewood business. In those days a face cord of dried oak was $22.50 It amazes me somebody didn't get killed. All I can say is you guys are an awesome team, and you got some kinda courage. Work like that is scary as hell, Love watching you work.
What a great job by all involved. Jed is the man. Gordy has killer forearms. 10/10
One of my favorites. I watch this one prolly every month atleast. See ya when we get there Jed, rest easy brother.
Good job guys. Nice to have some good help. Y'all take care and have a blessed weekend and I'll see you on your next vidja.
Thanks!
Another great video, Jacob! So glad that you & Jed still maintain your professional & personal relationships. You both work so well together! Good guys like you two are gems - keep it going.
So nice that your family gets to travel with you, and that we finally got to "meet" them.
If you ever head to Northern Colorado/Southern Wyoming, let me know. So fewer trees here and much smaller, except for cottonwoods in cities/towns. Stove-burners, mostly.
Awesome. I’m a partner in a tree and landscape company in southeastern n.y. Not too many big ones like that around here anymore. Pleasure to watch.
Truly awesome boys! Great teamwork, and banter. Appreciate your familiarity with your well maintained tools. About thirty years ago I was high enough up a big pine to look over a house roof into a back garden ( as we call them here in UK ) where my young guys were drinking tea. It was then that the thought occurred to me that I'd done my share of climbing! We had a Black Poplar ( Cottonwood by another name) fall in a storm, I watched it go - it was a shade shorter than yours but a good deal heavier with a clean solid trunk to 40ft and 8ft across at ground level. Took two of us five days to log, brash and clear and the client only wanted to pay for four! Happy days.
Another awsome video! I look more forward to your videos than anything on TV or in theaters. I always learn such much from your content. You have a great way of explaining things. Thanks again!
That was an awesome video Jake. Really great footage.
Thank you! Really thanks to Jed, Mike and Gordy for their awesome characters!
Since I found your channel a year or so ago the videos have helped a lot in my own climbing techniques. I thought I was odd that you hadn’t uploaded a video for quite a while, fortunately this video just popped up in my suggested videos so I’m subscribed again. I’ve just watched the first video explaining everything. It sucks that it ended like that, something you nurtured and watched grow was taken away from you. You can hear the pain and disappointment in your voice. On to bigger and better things, you can run it your way now. I’m in the UK and only have a very small company but if I can ever help in any way let me know.
Good stuff!!! At the end there, explanation of all that water, held up in there. The view! The banter! Wifey. Kids. Now I'll go make my wood sculpture. Later a tiny drink. So great to be a part of this. Or take part of it. Whatever. Cya!
Have been looking for your channel for 4 months! Glad I found it! Good luck!!!!
Dude! Amazing video. I didn’t want it to end! Love all the angles and shots. That looked like a really from job with a bunch of experienced dudes.
So glad to see you "having fun" with Jed again! It's great to see him, he has to be one of the nicest people to work with on the face of the planet. Amazing knowledge, positive attitude, and so humble on top of it all. Loving all of the new videos - the sneak peak on your Instagram of the water flowing out of the Cottonwood was making it difficult to wait for this video!
I think the technology😀did great with the black and whites of Gordy on the butt cut and Jed on the stem. Thank you for putting out great content will be looking forward to more.
I'm lucky to see UA-cam with quite a sound system. The thud of the trunks falling followed by the echo was quite fun to hear, although being there must have been even better. Most trees I cut either aren't that big and/or still have some branches on them, so I rarely get to hear that clean planet-sized bass drum hit.
I would love to hop the boarder and climb with you guys. So much fun energy, makes the job less stressful!
Just discovered this channel, talk about bringing back memories of logging in high school for some spare work, but nothing like this. Magicians with the saw, both of you. Can't imagine the weight of the kahunas you gotta have to go up that high, while lugging saws, and having a good time in the process. Looking forward to the next vid.
Hands down the best video I've seen in a long time. Lots of valuable info spoken without ambiguity and the camaraderie is captured authentically on tape.
Thank you.
So sorry for the loss of JED he made the best videos ever !!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video. I love when you explain things like why the water was coming out and how it was two trees that never fully fused. Cottonwoods smell nasty when cut and they are brittle. Kind of dangerous to climb if you're not careful. There was a lot of moss on the bark too. I would have loved you to talk more about the approach to felling such a large DBH tree. It's hard to line up the back cut with the face cut. You pros make it look easy but it isn't. Thanks!
Vegan 💧 water.
WOW. NICE Job Guys!! Just Subscribed for 1st time. Watching you now - Just Had to!! I've worked trees/arboring for nearly two decades and still climb (age 58). Your job was as gnarly as they come, AND, you ID'ed/mentioned just about every real risk from the start: climbing/repelling/gear hazards; multi-vs-single climbing safeties & climber preference; dropping limbs unloaded (flat); risks of topping & splits (could easily KILL U); risks dropping logs w/ bark seams; loading and drop hazards; determining drop zone safety exits; etc. You climbers made it look EASY. I’d go thru at least a Gatorade for the climb up - didn’t look like you Guys ever cracked a sweat (Yep, I’m jealous). Base cuts as perfect as they come. You guys nailed it.
Great Job and great team synergy - would love to work a job with you guys. AND - This was a rare example of mixing talents of two similar but distinct disciplines: Arboring w/ real climbers, and forestry/logging. Most loggers don’t want to climb jack, they love the 'drop & run' technique. Similarly, many tree service folks refuse to do the job without a bucket truck. Loved the log flip contest from the top and your playful banter discussing it. Nice.. My Biggest was 165ft Poplar sitting on an initial distressed(rotten) 45-foot section. That was a gnarly nail biter and a story for another time.
Great video - Loved it..
Dave Pickett. Owner iArborPRO. Maryland.
Thanks for the kind comment and well said I’m regards to loggers be arborists! :) both have unique skills for sure
It's nice to see the men explaining the technical aspect of the job," which is critical alaround for the saftey aspect for all involved," an property as well
So much positive reinforcement!!! I love it!!👍👍👍
Gordy I knew that was a redlight as soon as you fired it up and hit the throttle. Jake congrats on the new channel
Thanks!
Love it Jake. So glad I have a backlog to watch. Hope you’re doing well!
Casual observer here... A few years ago, I had a tree service come in and down a silver maple which we had let grow from start to well over 80 feet tall with five trunks from one stump. It was fascinating to watch these men work from my position on the ground. Your arial video brings a whole new perspective to your profession and I applaud all of you for your work and bringing this to those of us with time and interest to watch them.
I really enjoy videos with Jed. Such a kind man.
