- Join me and a skilled team of arborists as we tackle an ambitious project in someone's backyard. In this video, we're tasked with removing two towering fir trees that loom over a small yard, leaving us little room for error.
Watch as we employ a zip line technique, carefully maneuvering the branches out of the trees and directly to the wood chipper. The precision required is crucial to avoid any damage to the nearby house, making every cut and swing of the ropes a nail-biting moment.
In this video, we focus on removing the branches and tops of the two massive trees, setting the stage for an exciting Part 2. Stay tuned for the next episode where we'll dive into the process of chunking down the towering tree trunks, showcasing our expertise and the power of our equipment.

What a great ground crew and attitude! Would be a pleasure to work with these guys
Love the safety talk and prayer before ascent. Not a big believer myself but with what we do we definitely gotta shoot a thanks to the man upstairs once in a while. Would totally work for those guys again
I enjoyed the prayer as a Christian I want to see more of that
The prayer was ridiculous and really undermines the skill of the people involved.
@@MichaelMLFC92 even the most skilled professionals have accidents
@@jeffbeeckman8359 Most of us who feel that way are upset with how credit for a job is given to god when it goes well not the skill of the person. Then more times than not after an incident, it's not gods fault but a failure or oversight of the person.
I really liked that also. Was a nice touch but it also shows how seriously they're taking safety .. heck!
Really nice to see the business owner being so understanding and such nice communication between you and the ground guys. Awesome work!!
Yeah, Dave is great 👍🏼
We have safety meetings & prayer before starting the job everyday so I love seeing this and I'm glad you were able to help this crew.
That jumping between tree to tree was intense, especially with how thin they are! Respect to tree surgeons!
Fun fact: squirrels can survive a fall, they can't be killed by terminal velocity. Was sitting on my deck watching videos last year, umbrella up, and a squirrel fell out of the oak above me. Landed 3 feet away from my foot.....acorns flew out of his mouth(scared the crap out of me!!!!). He didn't move for about 30 seconds and then got up and walked away. Even the babies can fall out of the nest and the mom will come and pick them up. Love the video! Have a great weekend!!
Love what you do man, as a ground guy you cannot get a much better crew than the ones you worked with In this video, have to send a prayer to the man upstairs before every single job to make sure my dad is safe
What a terrifying job!!! So glad there are skilled brave guys like you to do this.
What a fabulous person that older man is!!!!
I helped my dad take down a tree once. Nowhere near as tall, and we used ziplining to take down the branches while he was tied into the tree. Its reallt fascinating to watch knowing how much effort and planning and practice goes into taking down trees and maintaining safety. Wonderful to watch.
Power to you for doing this specialized job. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, I felt dizzy just watching at this kind of height. Thank goodness for the safety precautions you take. Good job
I did not realize how much goes into getting a tree removed. Much more appreciation for this profession. You guys are crazy lol 😂
I don't know who that guy is Jake the older gentleman but man what an awesome man would love to work with him and you definitely but wow what a blessing we pray everyday to
Same here. I showed my wife and I said “there’s a real tree guy”. Have a blessed evening BR!
@@geoffreygreen297 God bless
Son niños grandes con juguetes, se ve que es experto en el tema y también se divierte en el proceso, trabajo peligroso y arriesgado, pero se ve que sabe muy bien que heces, felicidades y gracias por un trabajo bien hecho
@@tatianafaine7672 I wish I could understand your comment thank you so much I know he know English if you could write it in English I would appreciate God bless
@@br-dj2ti I am going to try to write to english, since my english is very basic
I am 42 years old and have done tree removal since I was a kid "family business" and everyday my dad prayed before we started our day, sometimes the customers would join us and sometimes they would stand back not sure what to think but never had a complaint about it, I would say 99% liked it. Keep up the good work both in the tree industry and in the ministry of Jesus!
Wow! That’s two tall trees. Must be a great view. I presume you pause each time at the top ti look around…Thank you for posting. Love watching your work. Scary and exhilarating at the same time.
I start my tree working days with prayer, an absolute necessity for me 😊
Thanks, Jacob for the super fast Sappy Supplies order, my first! The handwritten thank you note was a nice touch, keep up the strong work!
Heck yeah Jacob! I am 13 and bought my 4th saw today. I will be carving soon.
Love the prayer before the work starts! All glory to God!
The safety talk and prayer was everything in this video!
14:44 gently but the most hectic drop lol 😂
I knew they were squirrels from the squeal. Glad baby was ok breaks my heart
That guy is pretty slick with that rope, the guy with the saw ain’t bad either 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That prayer and safety confirmation before was my favorite park of this vid.
Start each job with prayer
Nothing happens but through the father!
They prayed before they got busy reminds me of my granny I miss her instant sub❤
I love the prayer b4 you climbed!
You are Beast ! Good work buddy respect from Turkey
Really wish I had someone like you too have taught me the ropes of the tree industry because the guy I had really didn't have the patience or knowledge to teach someone who has never did tree removal. Great videos
prayer is always good!!!!!!!!
Dude has a solid pair of balls if nothing else. Much respect 💪
I'm not Christian but I gave the video a like right away because of your confidence praying in front of the world. It's honorable and worth being proud of.
Same here, not religious at all. But something to be said for the praying. Its stop, pause, think safety. As an atheist I welcome that too. Kudos to them too, for not being shy about there Christianity.
Love your content and insights. Your high level of focus on safety is appropriated. There is one thing I noticed and thought I’d mention. As in this video, when clipping you life line to the tree, you carabiner is side loaded. For your sake, I’d like to see a biner with a rated gate: such as DMM AmericanO. I just sent you $40.00 via PP so you can buy one of your choosing. Stay safe…
Great to see that the ground crew wanted a safety check first though it should have been done before you started to climb the tree love your vlogs all the best from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Great job man I am impressed with the battery on that little husky
I love buying from local tree guys like you and Gordy
You are one brave man. With my fear of heights I could never do this. Love your vids!
Poetry in motion….thanks for sharing!👍👍
Artist with a saw, rope and knots! Nice!
We had a 50 plus year old fir tree removed last year. Took a crane to handle the huge sections of the trunk. The logs were big enough to mill dimension lumber. Firs grow like weeds here in western Oregon!
Yeah no, douglas Firs are not weeds. Old firs provide shade and cool the air and keep it from looking like L.A. we need to save them not cut them down for convenience.
Why did you cut it, imagine randomly killing a human
@@Kathakathan11 i imagine it more often than not.
@@Kathakathan11 Maybe her tree was dead or structurally compromised? Imagine if that tree fell on a house and killed a random human. 🤷♀️
@@linzzzanity well then it’s fine, but we do know that people love chopping trees only to expand the space.
Awesome prereqs and prayer opener. What you do is amazing 👏..!!
There usually one guy on the crew who keeps them as a pet. Funniest thing ever. So true dude lol
Hey Jake, a couple of things. First the famous last words of some climbers were "I don't normally tie in twice when..." You know anything can happen at any time. i.e. @20:52. You also know that a chainsaw can cut through a steel core flipline in a second. It doesn't take anything to throw your climb line around a couple of branches above you. A second thing is when zipping those dougs don't do an undercut. Cutmore into the collar, but not all the way off, and allow the branch to peel to hang down and settle before cutting it all the way off. That will take some energy out of the zip and you won't have the branch moving side to side on the way down. Avoiding stuff like eves and gutters.
He has his way of doing it and you've yours,he faired just fine.
So what your saying is you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
Also never 1 hand ever
But the peeling thing you are incorrect about I’ve seen branches peel right threw their saddle and break their backs.
You must be from the UK. Reality proves it has its place. The peeling method does work. If you had actually done Douglas firs you are either cutting to much before they peel or you're taking to big of a branch in which case you should use a controlled speed line.@@edwardallen2696
Prayer before a job is so rad!.... Subbed!
oh my god, this is so interesting , you are a brave man
I’m glad that the little critter was OK cute little guy
Praise Him who gives us the strength to accomplish all things! Good stuff
Good thing we watched all of August's speed line vids! What a great system.
Great job done Jacob...
Omg.. I’m afraid of heights just watching u. More props to u n ur amazing skills!
Seeing Jobs like this make me feel better about my low paying ground level job 😅❤
nah the prayer was way too wholesome, what a great guy.
Love that safety meeting and then a prayer!
Oh kool good to see you Jake ⚒️⚒️
what we need is another Collab with august and the monkey beaver crew
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Jake. Awesome video.
Mad respect and admiration from Cincinnati, Ohio USA!!
Got great couple of guys to work with glad to see ya doin well
I’m anxious just watching you , we don’t have trees this tall in England thankfully lol great job 👏
@23:20 good call. If there is a doubt, then there is no doubt. Treat those choices like your life is on the line, cause it is.
Don't ever take a shortcut. Good job man. Keep staying safe.
that safety talk was spot on
Awesome job Jake
Love the prayer!!! 🙏 What a great guy!
From Canada🇨🇦! Well done:)
Thanks!
Awesome job
Grind crew excellent.
Can’t wait for those sticks.
Stay safe
WOW! What a pro! they make it look easy.
Wow! Amen!!!
Very cool.
Jesus is King
Awesome job brother
I don't these days, but my younger days I was a pole climber, stay on the ground now. Highest I've ever been was on a tower about 70 feet, pucker factor was high that day, these guys take that to a whole new level! I absolutely know I don't have the balls for this!
glad i found the video after watching the shorts. my feet was tingling the whole time im watching the video
Wow that was awesome
Crushed it buddy!! Lotta branches can't wait for part 2.!! And my rope runner pro is kinda the same with srt I'm a small guy so I leave it at like 4 I think makes it smooth for both
my first tree cut video. that was fun! I was hoping to read *why* these trees were removed. I know nothing about this realm and couldn't guess!
Very interesting .Thank you.
What an awesome prayer. People don't do that enough and it works...
Watching this make me feel like climbing is for babies! And cutting trees are for grown ups!!
baby squirrels are always a tough dilemma. honestly if you leave the nest to the side and the babies are still okay the mother will come to get them when you guys leave. they usually have 5 or so nests in the immediate area so the babies will be fine if you leave them alone. it's just hard when you're trying to work a job and it can be a hinderance to the job to try to get them down safely.
We placed them in a nearby tree so hopefully momma came back
@@KanaskatTreeServiceyea hopefully, nobody really cared. You just cut the branch, the creature could have went anywhere. Vicious at best
I agree if you chopping stuff off trees you should have a process of animals in nests
It sounds really corny but in the end us humans are just plain awful
Anyway peace ✌️
@@johnfromirelandyes call in a helicopter....geez
25 year climber love those big removals. Methodical groove
I appreciate your videos.
He earns every penny he gets. Amazing.
You are a tree surgeon for sure. Very impressive.
Loved the prayers, it shows you care!
Impressive and scary as hell at the same time. Talk about excellence!!!!!
My fellow king county dudes! When I heard "I live in ravensdale", I was like damn just down the road from four corners.
What a beautiful tree/habitat
My hands started getting sweaty when you were at the top cutting. I hate heights but enjoy your videos.
I managed to watch nearly eight whole minutes before my collywobbles took over.
You take care of you....
The prayer was real nice. I know I subbed to the right channel. Great content 👍
watching this vid made my palms sweaty lol, very interesting though wow
ฉันไม่มีความรู้เรื่องงานต้นไม้มากมายนัก แต่นักต้นไม้หลายๆช่อง รวมทั้งคุณทำให้ฉัน มีความสามารถจะทำงานได้อย่างปลอดภัย เช่นเดียวกัน ทีมงานของคุณในวันนี้ก็ดูดีเช่นกัน ขอให้ทุกคนสุขภาพแข็งแรง
This is a ballsy kid. Hope he’s making a whole lot of money because he’s earning it.
Watching this at 1am on silent as wife sleeping no matter how much you charge you don't get paid enough for doing this job
It's about like after 6 months at sea stepping foot onto dry land for the first time I know because I was in the Navy and now I climb trees
I love the working lanyard
I used to work for Asplunhd in TN.
I did exactly what you're doing here, I miss it,so much fun swaying in the trees
Homeboy literally trusts a mechanism to hold his weight and life 😢😅❤
Hopefully the mother squirrel found it’s kid after relocating
I learned how to climb in Maui. I'm climbing in AZ now, man do I miss the coconuts. What a fun gap to jump back and forth between too. Excellent video, mate! Stay safe
Full respect on the prayer before hand. I need to start doing that with my crew before jobs
