Hi Zach, thanks for all of the explanations of your thought process in taking down the tree in the safest way. It really adds a lot to the video at least for me. Really interesting to see how that one big limb jumped so much and how the others did not. Your explanations bring the whole watching experience more relatable. Glad that you had the CRS to help in lifting those large limbs especially with the loss of the crane. With the loss of the Crane's assistance it allowed us to see the CRS used to the fullest. I'm sure the Crane missing affected your operation much more but I missed the competition between you and the Crane operator guessing the different limb weights. I'm sure you will plan to record it but look forward to seeing the Crane assist with taking down what remains of the large trunk. The Fall colors were just magnificent. Have a great week Zach and look forward to your future videos.
@@benburns5995 thanks Ben! I have another crane job coming up this week and I think I’ll be able to record the operators voice because there won’t be a chipper on site. Regardless I’ll see if I can’t make sure to include out weight guesses.
I got to tell you about a friend of mine, he is a college educated engineer he takes a tree apart with his head and then goes up and does it I like the way you work thanks for explaining.
@@oscartheg6674 it’s a really good strategy! It seems like it saves a lot of wasted movement if you know exactly there you expect to start. We all know where the end is.
I've been watching your videos for some time now, and I just wanted to comment that you have a nice calming voice as you explain things, it's not harsh like you hear in some videos.
God bless buddy great work as always you know I've been watching you since you first started out many years ago and like the one comment says I'm so surprised you don't have way more subscribers than you do you explain everything your work is excellent you've came so far God bless stay safe
@@br-dj2ti thanks Bill! I think it’s probably because I like to dive into details that maybe entertain other folks in the industry, but are boring to the general public. Either way, I’ve been mighty blessed to have experienced the growth that I have,
Nice work Zach! You tree guys are the real deal! I used to do some roofing and Gutters in my younger days and people would say i was crazy up on the roof, But the house dont move when you tear the shingles off like a tree! Lol! Stay safe Brother!
@@johnsmith-wd5sq hahah, that’s a mighty tough industry too. I did a little roofing in my youth and I can say with ease that that I find tree work to be easier than being in a roof all the time.
@@steeleta thanks! I kinda think we could have done it without, but I had everything right there so there wasn’t much effort required to gain the extra security
I know you said this is your 2nd job and get out there just to keep yourself tuned up, but have to say I love these tree cuttings videos. Not saying the others are not just as good. The detail of explanation is what makes your videos very interesting. Thanks for going the extra mile in creating a great UA-cam channel
Such a great channel and your voiceovers are so engaging. Surprised you only have 32k subscribers but I'm sure that's just a matter of time and exposure. You could do some collaborations with larger UA-camrs and easily expand if that's something you wanted. Such a pleasure to watch you do your thing.
Zach, great job as usual. Another beautiful oak bites the dust. i guess they had their reasons for removing it. I agree if the crane company is willing to come out for a hour or to so much easier then blocking it down
Well dang! Too bad about the crane. That would've been so much easier. But y'all did a great job. Great call by Mike to have the boom lift there to take out the limb tips. Really a shame to see such a pretty tree go away but not my call, right. As always, stay safe buddy.
@@ClellWise yeah, it really helped us get a lot done to have the lift there to work the tips back on a number of those limbs. I was sad to see the tree go too. The customer said it had been giving them trouble every year with root growth into the sewer pipe below. I’m sure it doesn’t take many sewage filled basement experiences for them to decide to take the tree down.
@@saws_n_stuff aw sorry man. I work out there every now and then. Sometimes we are down in Loudonville, or up in Wellington, Lagrange, or even Oberlin.
@@endurolife3485 I really like my Tree Rex by Edelrid. It’s very light with a lot of adjustability. Not a ton of padding but I don’t think it needs it either which is my preference because padding is hot in the summer. It has really nice mounting spots for tool holders and I like the offset gear loops.
@@br-dj2ti the biggest rope I have is 5/8 but it breaks at 19,500 which is almost as much as some 3/4” if I need to go bigger, I just double block because the GRCS SWL is 2,000 pounds.
@@marymulrooney1334 haha, I should have mentioned that it was a very high value obstacles! I was happy it was just the house though because there were wires on the other tree sides, but very thankfully they were all just out of reach of the branch tips.
@@zaccheus My thought was "just" the house, which is quite an expensive obstacle. I love the one video you did where you dropped a limb or tree on a building, but it turned out to be a building you were tearing down.
@ haha I was just thinking about the video the other day. I looked at another house demo job and it has a tree that needs to come down as well. I thought I might be able to do something like that again, but i didn’t get the job.
On that last limb, particularly…do you find it actually faster to rig and stand the whole limb? I’d have rigged it down it two or three pieces as opposed to standing it up, but I only have one guy helping me. With extra help, I might see it differently.
@@small-town-southern-man3573 I think it’s faster, but maybe a team well experienced in conventional rigging cycles would have been able to swing it down faster. You probably would have had to set up a redirect every time to keep the pieces from swinging back into the house.
@ I was thinking of using the same rigging point that you lifted from, while using a second rigging point at the cut to control the swing. Either way, good job!
We don't have a grcs so we don't do much lifting like you do at 4 minutes in your video when you took that big log what would happen if before you got out of the way that log just broke off without them being able to stand it up it would be pretty bad correct would you want them to hold tight or let it run thank you buddy
@@br-dj2ti excellent question. I had that happen once or twice kind bad in the early days and I learned to avoid it. The biggest downfall to the GRCS is that you can’t let anything run while it’s set up to lift. So you have to make sure you can complete a left before you start. Anything that gets lifted part way and then falls into the rope really shock loads the system very hard.
@@nicolaisvlog8701 I suppose anything is possible, but I would much much much prefer to it with at least one person on the ground. I could have done it without the help of Matt in the lift, but it would have likely been a day and a half job. Maybe two whole days.
7:05 dude so dangerous running chainsaw and reaching around and touching the chain you must be an amateur! blah blah blah! so says all the keyboard basement dwellers. Good show as always my friend.
Hey Zach! Nice job... Who needs a crane 😅, GRCS to the rescue again. Very smooth, good work.
@@MikeBrooks12550 haha a crane is rarely necessary, but I have to admit, it probably would have been a good bit faster 😅

@@benburns5995 I’ll do my best! That’s all I can promise 😊 the video might come out a few weeks from now. I have a thanksgiving for next week.
Your comment about the minimal equipment is what surprised me in the capability and versatility you can carry in a duffle bag.👍
@@bioniclife absolutely, I still find myself amazed by it. Everything other than what’s in the pickup truck is just about making things go faster
