Thanks Daniel! I was a very nervous before this job, but as i started to climb the nerves started to calm and i felt very comfortable, after that the job just flowed....... I enjoyed every minute of it :)
i've shown many people this video & they were in awe of the height yr at & you shot it superbly & the music compliments it so well, your rigging on the huge trunk sections is amazing, good work Dave & cameraman for doing this video...really do appreciate yr efforts .
wow with the music in the background it bought me back in time when I was able to do tree work with the climbing part of it thank you for this amazing video
Are you still climbing in the same area, Australia? I always come back to this video. I used this video for inspiration. I had to learn it, now I've got it 11 years later. Thank you sir. From outer banks area North Carolina U.S.
Hey Kevin, I’m now working in NE Victoria, Australia in the high country, I’m very much still in the industry but less climbing. Thanks so much for this comment mate, it makes me very happy that my vid inspired you and you’re 11 years in! Thank you sir 👍
Ive watched these vids several times and each time im more impressed,you seem to have attract some negative comments but everyone has different techniques and as long as the job was successful and no one got hurt then its all good.ive never climbed that high myself bt i can tell u were feelin edgey up there but hey thats why we do it. Keep up the great vids stay safe
Stephen Neeson Thanks for the nice comment, to be honest i was more nervous on the days leading up to this job, on the day once i started climbing i was fine and really enjoyed it
Some tough criticism on this pal ey. Two good climbers and a top job in my view. 12 years and i´ve done some similar stuff myself i know the buzz. I would have done it the same way so ignore the critics and all the best. Nice vid.
I was watching the vid thinking... that's not mountain Ash it's Eucalyptus!.... The I read the description :-) In the UK, mountain Ash is something entirely differenet! That was one heck of tree!
Working with pruning height in Brazil, your video is very inspiring friend, we do not have all the equipment you would like to have, but we do our improvisations, thanks for compratilhar their techniques.
I'm the homeowner: we had a tree fall of about the same size that shared a root system with this one. It was determined that its pair was also at risk of falling. At the very end of the video you can see the fallen tree on the ground, lying (fortunately) next to the house. The risk of living in the hills!
Just reading alot of these comments....and replies to the comments from you Dave, you just seem an all round sound bloke. Not big headed, open about any nerves and obviously was a job you enjoyed doing too. Fair play to you mate. Stay safe
Great job,it's always more spectacular to see the job from top of the tree.As a tree climber i see the job of the groundman,he is so important .I have so much respect for groundman.Too much good tree climber ,it's tougher to find good and serious groundman..It's a team work ,humility inside the crew gives so much.
beautiful camera shots, and excellent rigging. Must've had some really long ropes. What's with all the Stihl clothes while running what looks like a husky 372?
Thanks for triggering my adrenaline right now! I love it! I used to climb trees when I was younger. I can't believe I feel sea sick now when I go to higher places. I am not sure why. :(
@@Srealdan I learned that term from my friends who works at cruises. Maybe what I really wanted to say was nauseous, dizzy, as if I'm going to go out of balance. Like for example, inside a building when I look at the streets from say 15th floor, I can't look at it long enough that if I do, I'll get a little dizzy, maybe scared and then a tingling pain in both of my ankles but goes away quickly once I stop looking at it.
Just wondering when you topped it did that last limb just above your cut break off when the top slammed into the trunk?, normally one would of at least tied that limb to the top if it needed to be left there for balancing the tree towards the direction of fall, many times when cuts are made that close to a limb on Euc. trees the limb will simply split off and if it is not tied then it goes into free fall onto whatever is below. Just sayin
Good job, I love how you always appear to be having fun. Love all the pro clothing gear. I've not even seen that kind of clothing sold anywhere here in the USA. I see it in all the UK and Australia videos etc. Looks like good stuff.
Thats building them close to the house, thoroughly enjoyed watching it, Thanks Harrison, if it wasnt for you watching it it might not have came up on my feed.
Mate, who wouldn't be ............ it part of a healthy attitude and respect for the job in hand, .............. the day you stop being nervous and cautious, is the day you need to give this work up.
I dont use fb myself so no, but we are brothers in arms and I am cheering you on even if you cant hear me over the cutting, Be safe ,climb well, have a blast doing the do you make it look easy :)'
Thanks Harrison! It was a shame, but unfortunately a tree very close to this one fell over disturbing the root system and it was very close to the house!
to human-ur vids being back both good and bad memories lol i worked for parks&rec in my town for 10years 4 months and one my jobs was tying the guide rope on trees we were cutting down and i got to ride one down lol
Perfect music for this. When I’m on top of oaks it’s always so peaceful and humbling at the top. When ego gets to big. Climb a huge tree and you’ll feel real small again 😂. I live in Illinois so not to many big trees for us to climb like those. I’m 3 months away from my second year with Davey. And watching this makes me want to stick with it as long as I can. Or as long as the pay raises don’t stop lol.
I got a late start in this career, started when I was 26yr, I'm 50yr now and still passionately love it... don't do it for the money, do it for the love of trees and you will go far in this industry... do it for yourself, screw Davey!... Davey sucks, you're only learning the wrong way to care for trees with that franchise... go work for a real reputable company and really learn how it's done, people at Davey do this job for the money, definitely not for the love of trees, trust me on that.
Respekt!!!!! mein Größter war eine Secoia von 47m und das war schon hoch für deutsche verhältnisse aber 70m..... Respekt!!! work hard and climb save. its a good job
Two Questions: 1. What's reason behind cutting the branches of the tree? 2. Why do you cut the branches while going upwards rather than reaching the top of the tree first and then come down while cutting those branches? I mean it would be less scary when you have some branches to step on while you come down.
The tree is being taken down bit by bit to save it damaging anything under it, when taking a tree down its safe paractice to tie in at the top then come down to the lowest branch and start there because if you start at the top it could easily get hung up on a lower branch and that creats a very dangerous situation for the climber and anything under the tree.
The only mountain ash around here are sorbus scopulina and sorbus aucuparia. Neither get above 25 feet usually. I'm very impressed, skeptical about 70 meters, but impressed. The tallest I climbed was 38 meters and didn't have to rig anything.
+schlaznger you use a sling shot made for the industry it attatches to a pole saw and you use it to shoot a weighted bag tied to a thin 1/8th inch polymer rope up into the higher reaches of the tree. I know I'm a 29 year climber.
Great Job / fun job - I wish I had a job like that lined up! My only thought was rigging the top and logs down after having skinned the tree must have added super flex to the stem. I might have tried to leave some shock absorbing branches outside of my drop zone to dampen the flex factor on a tree that big. However you did it just fine and must have felt safe - any thoughts tho.? I have found it to really help while rigging big pine.
Love the video and the tree work. I do similar work in WA and I prefer using a 201. We don't have mountain ash here but it looks a lot like a E.Grandis. Stay safe bro.
Proud to say this guy is my friend.

What you learn?
That was an entire video of skill, climbing skill, rope skill, and video skill! Awesome job! I was impressed and entertained
Thanks Daniel! I was a very nervous before this job, but as i started to climb the nerves started to calm and i felt very comfortable, after that the job just flowed....... I enjoyed every minute of it :)
That is a top job but you need balls.
U r just inspiration for the upcoming climbers like me, love u mate

Crazy last cut ..man, that was close to the line .. heart skipped a beat..but I was smiling the whole time .. Thanks for the trip..
Have been watching this video for 4 years , still gives me excitement and goosebumps!

When you get time put up another video sir.
Excellent video Dave. Great to see fellow professional arborists doing a great job using best practice techniques. Stay safe guys!

+Dave Coleman Did you use a porter wrap to lower those huge limbs from that ridiculous height ?
+Jane Paul haha no, we used a GRCS, i find porter wraps twist the rope to much :)
@@DaveColemanTree if you switch the wraps to the other side the twist doesn't happened.

unbelievable climb fellas. ive been climbing 6 years now here in illinois and have never come close to being that high. awesome work.
Wow. Awesome video mate. Never quite seen a tree video made to that quality. Nice job on the take down too.

I can't wait to get into this line of work I'm so excited!
I do it everyday for work it is fun but dangerous work with smart people and always pay attention.
On the positive side, we will never run out of firewood. Also, Dave & Ranges Tree Works have been great!
wow nice! Started 1 year ago currently a groundsman working my way up! im 18 and hoping to learn this year how to climb
watching this brightened up my day, great work.
Good job guys I'm critical on tree work I do it myself and I think you guys dun that very safe that's the #1 thing I seen
beautiful camera shots, and excellent rigging. Must've had some really long ropes. What's with all the Stihl clothes while running what looks like a husky 372?

I would be curious abouth how much did he chsrge for this job
Distel spike? I have distel gecko, why do you not use a top handle? Personal preference?
Great video! Nicely done, made it look easy and great music too! :)
Damn, that's awesome! Fella knows what he's doing. Amazing being up that high in such a tall tree.
That must have been a bugger to split for firewood :-). Great video. Monster tree

professionally done! super impressive!!
Thanx dave for the great video nice to see a coleman that's not scared of heights :-)
but how did the rope get up there
Spectacular sir! Nicely done all round
How do you get the ropes up in the first place to enable your self to use them to climb?
Awesome work how long is that lowering rope haha?

"Dammit, forgot to fuel the chainsaw"
Nah Big trees it’s common to run out of gas and have another sauce sent up or have it refilled while in the tree
Nah
One word..... Amazing!!
Which country is it ! ..looks so beautiful ... And amazing work guys 🙄☺️...
It's Australia " mate" :)
It's Australia "mate" :)

its a completely different species. this is an Eucalyptus regnans. And they can get even bigger than this.
How do they manage to tie the lines at the top of the tree before starting to remove the branches? Do they climb all the way up??
Peter Persson that's what I want to know
the best Gamer throw bag and throw line, probably shot into the tree with a big slingshot or a cross bow
The newest guy on the crew puts the end of the rope in his teeth and climbs.
But how did u put the rope in there from the first place.?? Such a Braveheart
Having a lowering man that can let it run is gold.
I'm a professional arborist from Portugal. Good job 💪
I'm not afraid of heights, but this shit is crazy! Big props to you guys.
☼Tropical Detailing☼ it's nothing once your up there and comfortable it's the best rush ever touching the ground again I tell you that much

nice work...wat rope did you use for the arborist..statick or dynamic and what size...and what rope did you use to cathe to branch?
Static. you can use dynamic as well but it makes the job harder when you're just dangling all around.
How much was that to cut down 12
You guys are so lucky, too bad we don't have trees more than 100ft here
Where do you live? here in Ga-USA we have trees up to 160ft.
Great video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nice vid, i always use tape slings now instead of directly tieing off so as to save my lowering ropes, it's also quicker....
Excellent tree surgeon.
Can anyone suggest the rough age if this tree based on its height?
Absolutely awesome! Bet that view was incredible.
Just curious. why not using a top handle chainsaw? at least just for the limbs.
