They’re an awesome organization!
Something I always keep in mind when around ropes under tension: pulleys can fail and ropes can snap. Keep a healthy distance when possible, and avoid crossing where a failing pulley would take you out (from the pulley or recoiling rope).
Great video as always Aaron. I also watched the Podcast with Paul. Prior to the pandemic, i ran a couple marathons for St Jude. When that hospital was started in 1962 by Danny Thomas, survival rates for childhood cancer was below 20% and currently above 80%. ALL is the most common form of Leukemia in children and before St. Jude, 4% of kids survived. I believe today its over 94%.
Those guys really like the plunge cuts.
Last time I was this early I ended up with my first child.
🤣
Wow! That is an incredible job. Amazing knowledge and still involved. Classic widow-maker. You never know when those trees will fall. Thanks so much for sharing this! Please stay safe. God bless.
What a great video, Aaron! I would never have thought of using a self-tailing winch the way they did.
Absolute professionalism. You love to see it. Great video, thanks for sharing
I want to see more of this I trim nxt to power lines for the past 15 years and I luv this stuff
Great, professional teamwork! No hot dogs or show-offs. Some beauty rope work and cuts, eh. Another video for my grandson and me. Thanks. Stay safe.
Thanks Aaron those guy's are true professionals always great to work with people that now there business as you also Do.
Pure artistry right there! ❤
Great stuff. Keep ‘em coming- My son watches with me and looks up at the lines anytime we take a walk.
I really wish we’d had these guys in my neighborhood about 10 years ago. After a long summer drought, it was the 5th of September and a tropical depression over 200 miles away had the wind blowing 25 to 30 mph. Well, a tree that was too close to some power lines broke a limb and fell on a line. This started a fire. One of the folks in the neighborhood called the fire department but by the time the fire department traveled the 12 miles out of town, the fire was already running through the forest floor full of pine straw and dry brush. It was already out of control. In less than 30 minutes it was burning across a mile wide front. In three hours is was 9 miles wide and 16 miles long. It burned over 1700 homes and thankfully because it happened in the afternoon, it only killed two people.
All because the electric utility and the tree trimming company didn’t keep the trees off the line. It cost Asplundh tree service and its insurance millions, and the Federal government, and other insurance companies even more, but that didn’t bring back any of the irreplaceable things I lost.
How is the utility and asspluggera supposes to keep the tree off wires if a tropical depression breaks the tree? Ive done line clearance for 15 yrs but now work for myself
@@jadrews76 The tropical depression was over 200 miles away! These weren’t tropical speed winds that broke these limbs off and blew it into a line. It was windy, with sustained winds in the twenties to thirty but not more than you could expect to happen in Central Texas. We get those kinds of wind all the time. They just had not trimmed those trees back like they were contracted to do. Now, did the electrical company also have some culpability? Absolutely. Their insurance company paid too but since it was a state sanctioned electric cooperative they were pretty much judgement proof.
But as I said none of that matters. It’s not the economic loss. It’s that two people lost their lives and thousands lost things that can’t be replaced from baby pictures to family mementos and all the things that we cherish more for their memories than their value.
Finally, for me, the saddest story was that of my next door neighbor. He had put in his papers to retire from his job working for the State of Texas as a restoration carpenter the Friday before the fire. He had spent over ten years building a beautiful log cabin in the woods we lived in. He was looking forward to spending his retirement sitting on his back porch, playing guitar and drinking beer with his friends. Well, after the fire, he had no home, no woods, and had lost his beloved Martin guitars that he’d saved years to buy. The loss broke his heart. He had a company rebuild him a house on his old slab but it wasn’t the same. He died a couple years later but he never really was the same. There are many similar stories among the community.
Pretty fancy tree work there. Only in Canada! Thanks for sharing, Aaron!
Nice job guys!
Those guys are total badasses!
I. Am. Waiting to see an episode where you go over the details in evolved in having to dig a power pole hole by. Hand .. …. And hand digging an anchor hole and proper placement of the anchor rod head .
You. Might remember me from a few comments I have made in the past ,that you answered … :o)
I have worked in the power line industry ,for a couple decades…. And. Really enjoy watching your channel…. … SAFTY first. Look. Up …. Have a. Fun. Day !
Wow, some serious thought went into that tree work. I can see the wheels turning in their brains while piecing it together. Obviously, experience plays a role here!
Great Job by ALL. Thanks for the Video. 👍🙏
Amazing work and teamwork.
Our local utility subs all this work out to a single contractor, I never saw them do anything other than work from bucket to piece trees out into little bits, and straight into the chipper. No rope, or climbing/arborist work at all. Big pieces are left on the ground, chips blown into the woods.
Awesome job brother
Awesome, love to see all you all do!! Keep them coming!!
That was awesome. Love the tree mounted capstan winch
This was fantastic!
Nice. I hadn't seen that punch-through chainsaw technique used on trees, only guys doing carvings. Arborist would be one of my dream jobs if I could do it all over again.
Another great video Aaron. And yes, let the professionals do their job, the right way. What a pleasure to see them work. Stay safe Aaron.
This makes me want a bigger chain saw
👍👊‼️ Spring arrived quickly there made things go a little better 😂😂😂
Thanks!
I’ve heard of global warming Aaron but to go from snow & whistling cold freezing wind in your face to full sun & leaves on the trees? I give it to you up in your neck of the woods 😂.
Like you. I love watching tree crews working on tricky cuts. You stand a little farther than I do but that’s your comfort zone. I loved how they took those two trees down together. I never saw that done before? I see why you guys hire those tree guys! They have a lot of nice tools? A friend of mine has something similar to that wheel on the tree trunk. His might be a motorized capstan? Not sure? I have yet to see it in operation. One thing I noticed is those guys don’t smoke or chew? Most tree guys do one or the other & sometimes both around here. Those guys are fit & young too. They throw logs around like I toss a bottle of water to a buddy.
Wouldn’t you know it? Your wrapping up & the your computer is going off for more calls? No rest for the weary!
Keep up the great content & keep smiling 😊 👍🏻👊🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Nice work in this tricky situation.
Great job dealing with those popular trees!
About time the utility arborist get recognition 💪
Thanks
that is some precise tree landing right there right on lads
Beautiful 😍
Another good video, Aaron. How many customers were affected off that side line? Who takes out the work permit to kill the line you or them?
Awesome video.... Tree crews working to remove broken trees 🌳 from power lines have to be on their A game...
Very impressive!! :-)
nice !!
That was really cool!! Those guys have their poop in a group! Thanks for sharing. Be safe out there brother!
Love it how they use marine tools for that!
O.k. I used to do line clearance and was a bucket operator/trimmer... We would have never had the time for this... Just get it with the bucket and hydraulic pole saw and move on... Just block cut the hanger back past the power line to where it was hung up on the other tree at the fork in the hanger... You could have let it drop from there, and as far as the rest of the tree's, just top and block them to below the line and cut from the ground... From where I had seen the bucket truck was sitting at, I am sure I could have got to them... And we always had to work around live lines... Lol...But I guess you got to play with the ropes for awhile...
Nice.
Throwbag that close to the wires and not get hung up first try? Either way that was impressive. Great vid
Thumbs Up
I would be interested in knowing more about EV chargers and how you handle the amount of power needed for a large number of superchargers.
Great content and nice work! Wondering where ole Mr. Jonny Bendbar is?
Still waiting for someone to remove the old pole, i have no idea who id call about it lol
Tree removal videos are nice too btw
They run the right saws!!!!!
Really want to be a lineman. In CDL school currently. But I messed around go much in high school not caring about my grades, and IBEW wants you to have a passing grade of a C for one year in high school to get into the apprenticeship (I got a C-)
Ikatan nya sangat kuat😮
When the fellow threw the pilot line ( @10:40 ) was the 7200V live?
Whether a lineman or arborist, keeping things well grounded is an asset....
(Yeah - I need to work on it some more....)
Great to see a cross-discipline video.
I keep wondering who gets to keep the wood or where it goes to, or does it stay where it is cut?
LKove the tree company’s name.
after high school i want to be a lineman but i am not good with hights do u have any tips with over coming that fear
Very interesting work! Round of Labat’s for the boys!
Looks like it’s warm up in Canada eh 😂😂🙄
Was this believed to be wind damage or the tree just decided to give out one fateful night?
Dangerous
They need a chainsaw attachment that shoots a vertical laser line perpendicular to the cut line which would show the intended direction and fall path.
Your work is governed by a bristling assortment of safety rules. When you pull up to start a job, do you have a list of safety rules, in writing or on the computer? ,If you are required to remember them all without a written refresher, I don't know how you do it.
Real nerve-wrecking! Then very nicely done.
I've had that much rigging on a sad spruce🌲but not (usually) near wires or fences. Mostly to not get snagged on another sad tree. (Coastal Maine🦞can get pretty over-grown.)
This was amazing.
