1 year makes a huge difference... you look like a pro now. I remember when I had a year in on my job and I thought I knew a lot. Turns out I didn't. 10 years in and I'm never gonna say I've seen it all.
Shitty about the food poisoning. Awesome you found a new company to work with. Hope all works out well with them. And as always good work on the tree. 👍🏼
Would love to see how you tie in and how you rigged your ropes or set up your ropes would love to also learn how to drop branches straight down like you do you do awesome work and you make it look so easy but I'm sure it's not all that easy enjoy your videos keep up the awesome videos
I've done ground work a long time but unfortunately have a fear of heights. I wish I could do what you do. I do occasionally get a little air time in our bucket but my knees lock up on me like crazy when attempting to climb. Oh well... love your videos.
Look up (Operant Conditioning), you can totally climb. You just have to do it enough that your body learns that it's normal, and stops having anxiety over it. Nothing better than an experienced groundie starting to climb, they pretty much already know everything, tends to work out well for everyone.
I'd like to meet you. Been climbing poles and doing right away clearing for years. Just started my first actual arborist job and I have to say I watch your videos to train myself.
lol, makes me cringe a bit =) I'd say watch the good guys if you're looking for the right way to do it, august hunicke, lawrence schultz, etc... I'm not even 1 1/2 years into climbing, still alot to learn myself. Thanks though =)
always the promised added water weight in the wood, and the dread of a misty day insuring any cotton wood climb being slicker than hot snot on a door knob. you banged it here.
I hate felling cottonwood....the Most Time they are grown huge and when they hit the ground the branches broke to Million pieces and you have to collect one by one... (We're not climbing). sometimes with a Platform. Hey but well done and Safe work. I like that Black Beauty saw on that final cut :-)
Took a gamble this morning after getting up, had to duck walk to the bathroom, lol. Thankfully didn't have to use the extra pair of underwear I packed, LMAO
Really just did that one slash cut blocking down the trunk, mainly because I was already starting to feel a bit sick and just wanted it done already. This wood almost can't be steered, so I was using alot of drop cuts, where I normally would have notched to pull one way or another.
What do you prefer for gloves when cutting? I have ordered a few pair and have not found anything I really care for. The ones in this video look nice, not too bulky. Are they anything specific or just random work gloves from the hardware store? I like the dramatic slow motion at the end. Lol
Gread video. Poplar is always interesting cuz it doesn't hinge so well. The last piece you tooke off the trunk before felling, was it just one straight angled cut, or did you do a cut on the front before the back-cut?
Did you fall working for this company. I hope you are doing better. Family own a tree service for 25yrs. My father has fallen after tree sat back in the whole on him.
I haven't tried a whole lot of gaffs, I've found that I love bashlin spurs with the opsal "cadillac" pads though. Much more comfertable than my stein x2's. Geckos are supposed to be amazing as well though, and that new pair that edelrid is coming out with this summer look amazing. I have a kask super plasma helmet, it's amazing comfy. Might have to try the Pfanner protos soon though, they're reviewed incredibly well.
200T does seem to have more ass, and a larger fuel tank. I've been grabbing it over my 201 recently, though I still love my 201 as well, both great saws.
Thanks. I paint them myself. Not like a pro or anything though, just rub them down with alcohol, then spray paint them. I use krylon fusion, but have been told there's much better paint out there.
Hey man. I’d love to reach out to chat and make sure you’re okay and know you have people to talk to. I have no gain in this other than to talk to someone who helped me when I was down. Cheers.
Absolutely, just depends on the tree, tie in points, and rope angle, etc... Definitely some moments now and again that get my blood pumping. I should say that I'm not ever scared of actually falling "out" of the tree, but falling a few feet till my line catches me. Can still be enough to hurt you.
Human I'm thanking about going into free cutting and needed some advise I think if I ever go up in a tree it will be a bucket truck or have some really thick rope or be on the ground cutting
James Bailey rope thickness is irrelevant, use equipment that's for tree climbing/work and rated and tested for what you're using it for. That skinny line Human is using is strong enough to hold 4+ Humans. Know your tree and inspect your gear and do like he says, "stay safe"
Yeah, hadn't done that whole, 5 cuts to readjust the carb, since cold weather. Wasn't even idling, reset it a few days ago though, runs like a champ now.
3:54 I love how you cut off a 1 inch stub, and the next shot is 2 groundies sitting on the patio furniture bored lol.
EauClairePowerWashing No your wrong...it was 3 groundies.
1 year makes a huge difference... you look like a pro now.
I remember when I had a year in on my job and I thought I knew a lot. Turns out I didn't. 10 years in and I'm never gonna say I've seen it all.
Thanks. Still need improvement, but compared to a year ago, lol, those videos make me cringe.
Shitty about the food poisoning. Awesome you found a new company to work with. Hope all works out well with them. And as always good work on the tree. 👍🏼
Awesome Corey. Good work. Glad you got with a another company. Hope it works out for you!!
Thanks =) Going well so far
Glad to see you with a new company hope they treat you better
RAMBLIN Waters
Thanks, me too, and they do
LOL, haven't come across that yet, nor heard about it. Thanks for the heads up, will be vigilant.
RAMBLIN Waters or maybe teach him how to climb, or even let him use a sharp saw.
DR Dan This guy is a moron, needs to find a new occupation.
Hard to argue with that little Stihl. Really turns up nice.
Muito legal e um belo trabalho Ismael São Paulo Brasil 👍👍
Would love to see how you tie in and how you rigged your ropes or set up your ropes would love to also learn how to drop branches straight down like you do you do awesome work and you make it look so easy but I'm sure it's not all that easy enjoy your videos keep up the awesome videos
3:54 Nailed it! ha ha. i got a little sweaty wondering how you'd land it!
LMAO I was sweating that one too =)
I've done ground work a long time but unfortunately have a fear of heights. I wish I could do what you do. I do occasionally get a little air time in our bucket but my knees lock up on me like crazy when attempting to climb. Oh well... love your videos.

Human thanks
Glad to see you back in the air bud.

hell yeah man. I knew you would have no problem getting another gig! hope you feel better man.
always the promised added water weight in the wood, and the dread of a misty day insuring any cotton wood climb being slicker than hot snot on a door knob. you banged it here.
nice job! them cottonwoods are always fun!
Boompjekappen cottonwoods is what Americans call pops
Good job young human 👍🏼 sorry to hear about the food poisoning I've had it before.
I hope you get to feeling better soon
Almost 100% today, thanks
that looks like some smooth rigging skills
did you mod that limbing saw? it sounds faster than most of the ones I remember working on, especially in cut.
Yep, muffler and timing.
Tell me the coincidence that I was just thinking about my fellow atheist Human and you post this very video within the same minute! Hell yea!
=)
Feel better soon, man.
Nice cuts as usual!
Thanks much =)

Thanks much =) That's my 661, she's my baby.
Just like being in a pool....never gamble on a fart in the tree. hope you get to feeling better. good video
Took a gamble this morning after getting up, had to duck walk to the bathroom, lol. Thankfully didn't have to use the extra pair of underwear I packed, LMAO
great video and cutting. now your drooling, puking, and pooping, too funny.
Yeah, was not a great day, lol.
bad ass man, glad youre climbin again. why the slashing cuts instead of straight? feel better bud
Really just did that one slash cut blocking down the trunk, mainly because I was already starting to feel a bit sick and just wanted it done already. This wood almost can't be steered, so I was using alot of drop cuts, where I normally would have notched to pull one way or another.
what spurs you like? ready for some new ones
What do you prefer for gloves when cutting? I have ordered a few pair and have not found anything I really care for. The ones in this video look nice, not too bulky. Are they anything specific or just random work gloves from the hardware store? I like the dramatic slow motion at the end. Lol

They're amazing, though the coating does were out fairly quickly.
Thanks brother, I'll put some on my next order! 👍
Feel better brother.
Gread video. Poplar is always interesting cuz it doesn't hinge so well.
The last piece you tooke off the trunk before felling, was it just one straight angled cut, or did you do a cut on the front before the back-cut?
No, started feeling a bit ill by that point, just one straight cut at an angle, simple and easy, leaves a big divot though.

Nice rigging rings. Did you splice them yourself. They look just like mine
Those ones I bought spliced already, the ones I spliced don't get used as they look too pretty on my wall to get dirty, lol.
That was a big guy!!!
What rope do you use for pulling trees over? You make it look easy!
Anything really, just use stronger ropes for tree requiring more pull, generally use samson stable braid though.
Well glad you are back in the saddle
Me too!
you make it look easy...
You don't look like the new guy anymore AND I didn't hear one bad word. Can I ask what happened with the company with all the cool equipment?
Thanks =) Don't have the need for them as much anymore, lol. Just a bunch of small things, nothing major, left on good terms though.
CTSCAPER i
you sure change employers a lot. you sure it's them not you that's the problem. and what happened to the fence in this video? was it moved or damaged?
probably damaged by the tree, then moved, and they were called in to prevent future damage
CTSCAPER е
That 201t 4 strokes nicely
Was that the 200?
Did you fall working for this company. I hope you are doing better. Family own a tree service for 25yrs. My father has fallen after tree sat back in the whole on him.
human, what are your preferred gaffs and pads and helmet? im looking to upgrade my gaff pads because they dig in to my legs so bad.
I haven't tried a whole lot of gaffs, I've found that I love bashlin spurs with the opsal "cadillac" pads though. Much more comfertable than my stein x2's. Geckos are supposed to be amazing as well though, and that new pair that edelrid is coming out with this summer look amazing.
I have a kask super plasma helmet, it's amazing comfy. Might have to try the Pfanner protos soon though, they're reviewed incredibly well.
Love the vids man wish I could do that
What is the tool called that you use to lower brush out of trees it’s red like a rope and carabener
Many different tools that can be used, you might be talking about a rigging ring I'm thinking.
After using a 200 and a 201, do you have a preference?Is the 200 better as so many claim?
200T does seem to have more ass, and a larger fuel tank. I've been grabbing it over my 201 recently, though I still love my 201 as well, both great saws.
Great video! What knots do you use for rigging/lowering branches?
I've taken to just using a steel biner on a bowline, half hitch, then wrapped again to itself, can see it pretty well at 2:51
I see you're back to the MS 201T in the trees. Did the Husky not work out?
David Collier Probably burned up already. Huskies don't last long from my experience (with 2 different tree services).
Still have it, just prefer my 201 is all. Deciding factor for me is ease of start.
nice use of the natural redirect m8
How did you do or get the black covers on your saw looks sick
Thanks. I paint them myself. Not like a pro or anything though, just rub them down with alcohol, then spray paint them. I use krylon fusion, but have been told there's much better paint out there.
Looks sick might have to give it a try
yuck. hope ya get to feeling better fast, mang.
thats cut great what model stihl chainsaw is that? thanks
It's a modded 201TC
modded in what way? would you recommended buying this one for commercial use or have you seen better in yoir expert days? thanks
Hey man. I’d love to reach out to chat and make sure you’re okay and know you have people to talk to. I have no gain in this other than to talk to someone who helped me when I was down. Cheers.
What's that saw your using
you did some really good work you were tired for didn't you
Nice nice
Also, what helmet are you running?
It's a kask super plasma
www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=37&item=1752
How come you get all the fun trees? (Ugly!) Nice work man!
Thanks much =)
What type of GoPro and attachments do you use
Hero 4 session, and hero 4 black, just a helmet mount and a tripod grippy mount.
Hey I got a question for you
can you do a clean up video?
Silver tip cottonwood
Hey how come you don't use the husky t540 anymore
I just prefer the 201T a bit more
Human what don't you like about the t540
Cottonwood trees suck cut them all down.
Tune that saw
New 201?
Welcome back, you crazy fucker. I hope you feel better soon. Play safe, even with food, lol.
I'll try, never know though =(
careful! don't swear otherwise a couple people will cry
Cry it off, crybaby. I don't play PC. If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the smithy, lol.
How do you like your crew?
They're pretty awesome, good work ethic all around, and a bunch of experience.
Nice job on a tree with no hingability they are what I call cut and snap lol
Muy bueno
R you talking to me
3:54 Why?
Why?! Because it was EPIC!!! LOL, I don't know, most of the time I edit at midnight and am falling asleep at my PC. Not enough hours in the day.
Start your own tree business
Are u ever scared of falling out the tree
Absolutely, just depends on the tree, tie in points, and rope angle, etc... Definitely some moments now and again that get my blood pumping.
I should say that I'm not ever scared of actually falling "out" of the tree, but falling a few feet till my line catches me. Can still be enough to hurt you.
Human I'm thanking about going into free cutting and needed some advise I think if I ever go up in a tree it will be a bucket truck or have some really thick rope or be on the ground cutting
James Bailey rope thickness is irrelevant, use equipment that's for tree climbing/work and rated and tested for what you're using it for. That skinny line Human is using is strong enough to hold 4+ Humans. Know your tree and inspect your gear and do like he says, "stay safe"
Mitch Jones your old on this one
Nope....
First
That 201t 4 strokes nicely
Yeah, hadn't done that whole, 5 cuts to readjust the carb, since cold weather. Wasn't even idling, reset it a few days ago though, runs like a champ now.
