Thanks Jake for being part of that job it was definitely a once in a lifetime thing for me to climb on the same job as the Tom Brady of tree climbing 🤟
Are you saying Jakes balls are deflated lol can't be the way he climbs
maybe Mark Sanchez

Wish you were given more on camera time and for more comments on your take of the US and Jacobs poor sense of humor.
@@iffykidmn8170 I was thrilled to be able to work with him camera or not 😁
You know you're a true tree man when you tune a carb whilst climbing the tree. Hats off to you Jacob
Pulled the little screwdriver outta his pocket, thought i was watchin a Buckin Billy Ray vid for a second😅
@@danielbabcock7004
I
No I q ju
And god damn dual-wieding chainsaws. Damn.
@@danielbabcock7004 reminds me of one of his videos too
Why is that any different than putting a thrown chain back on, up a tree?
I like how Micheal asked if he could take pictures. Respect
There is nothing more badass and satisfying then watching this line of work
Dual wielding top handles at 70' up a tree... He's in akimbo mode, while climbing with an akimbo.
What a legend.
Can you please explain what you are saying?
Akimbo G18’s!
@@samuelluria4744 Akimbo is to Dual wield, “the technique of using two weapons, one in each hand, during combat.” In this case, handling two chainsaws. One handing these saws generally gets the comment section fired up regarding user safety. The fact is, tree climbing saws are designed to be used one handed; excluding the chain break feature, the user manuals and arborist community doesn’t encourage it.
@@peek5548 - Well that was an exceptionally thorough response, and I do appreciate it! The part about how so many people are against using a saw with one hand, I am already familiar with; the whole "Akimbo" stylistic aspect is completely new to me. Thanks for taking the time!!
Jake I am retired from Marine Construction and live in Maine. I found your channel a couple of months ago and had to tell you that I really enjoy the videos. When I started following channels on You Tube years ago the first one was doing tree work. I have always been fascinated by you guys rigging limbs to get huge trees down in extremely tight places. I am enjoying you channel because you travel around so we can see challenges with different type trees in areas we usually don’t see and you work with some awesome people using different methods,gear and equipment. Just had to let you know I appreciate your channel and glad I subscribed. Keep up the good work! 👍👍👍
Saw arrived yesterday czcams.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and today I cut about 3/4 cord of wood with it. Make sure you get an extension chord that is at least 12 gauge wire, minimum. This is my first electric in about 10 years, and things sure have improved. The self-sharpener works great, and it just kept cutting through some pretty decent logs. Wear your eye protection, and ear protection. Excellent saw.
Why would you wear ear protection for an electric saw 😂
That was the biggest mistake that company made was stopping making 200T
Stihl is making a lot of mistakes.
The 461 😞
Thank you for clean language your videos are very fun to watch and you guys make a great team!
Jake I would argue your relevance as an arborist to anyone as the best….and being humble and not arrogant puts you in a different class my friend…your an inspiration brother
One saw in each hand sounds like a wiki how technique for arborists.
🤣
@@GuiltyofTreeson Sword fighting/reenactment community, it's called "dual wield" or "case of (weapon type)"
So, you dual wield case of chainsaw! 🤣
Edward Chainsaw Hands
"If you cut from both sides of the branch simultaneously, you will achieve double speed, and nothing could possibly go wrong"
Trade them saws out like golf clubs. Total respect to all you tree men.
Jake you are an amazing young man. I like how you handle yourself in the different kinds of trees you climb. Your work ethic is spot on. Your teaching methods are appropriated and your jokes makes others smile. You are a unique man and I enjoy watching you work. Keep it up, you will go far and wide!
Thank you very much 🙏
I feel the same way. I like the way you have worked with and showcased the styles and work methods of other arborists. Awesome!
Great Job. I love how you stay humble and thankful all the time.
What a good job travelling around meeting new people and climbing bloody big tree’s and seeing views that you’d only see from an aircraft or lookout station thanks for sharing your life with us
It’s so satisfying watching you work. Especially when you’re stoked like you are in this one!
That little chainsaw looks awesome 🪚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
“The more arborist videos I watch, the more I realise how good August Hunicke is” posted on your video, you gotta admit that is funny, 😂 you do ok too jake 🙂👍
Truth hurts 🤣
@@j.debolt Dave Colman is a good climber, he never puts any videos out. One video a year, no one will talk about you.
Jacob is just as good of a climber
I like watching August videos but he has been getting a bit preachy lately IMHO, almost like he is turning into another BBR. LOL
He's almost as good as Damien lol
From and old Tree topper . I could sit here and comment on you all day long man but your work speaks for itself. Great job.
I love watching your videos and sitting on my chair telling you everything you’re doing wrong since I am a 70-year-old woman who’s never claimed climbed a tree in my life I think it’s awesome
forget all the skill and precision on the felling and trimming,,,,,im just amazed at the strength, stamina, knowledge, and planning in climbing waaaay up there all the while carrying two saws and lots of extra equipment!! Guys you had me on the edge of my seat here on the couch in alabama the whole time!! i get nervous any time a limb or trunk falls, hoping its not somehow entangled in your equipment and pulls you down also!! Im glad i had a mathematics job doing rocket research for 36 yrs with both my feet on the ground. Im only confident with a small saw, my feet flat on the ground, and a tree that doesnt need limbing before felling!! My complete respects to you and also the ground crew who do an excellent job of supporting you at every moment!! Stay safe!!
Love it. Just fell 20 ft out of a tree yesterday. Was double tied in but the cypress couldnt support me. I broke my foot. Cannot wait to get back into the saddle again. In the meantime your videos will sustain me on my 4 weel recovery 😊
Brother watched this whole vid from start to finish and was thoroughly impressed on ur review of the saw and tree takedown, well done sir 👏🏻
Dude you are really good at what you do. It definitely takes skill and climbing is not for the faint of heart. I did tree service for about a year and learned a lot in that year, it was some of the most physically demanding work I have ever done. I am a carpenter by trade and I’ve been a carpenter for over 20 years but always enjoy being able to take on some smaller tree work on the side. I have a lot if respect for what you guys do. Your channel is awesome, you put out great content and I love learning new shit from watching your videos. Keep on keeping on brother
Thanks man!
@@GuiltyofTreeson you live like 6hors a wey
fram me
@@GuiltyofTreeson those little chainsaw that you’re holding it’s so awesome 😎 🪚🪚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
great work & video as usual Jacob. awesome to have someone come a long way just to cut down trees & to see the enjoyment they had
Seems Irish trees don't grow so tall. 😂👍👍
Is that kind of work a sport, a craft or a skill?
You guys are beyond awesome and it's absolutely mesmerizing watching you scale such heights to do your work.
As someone that does a bit of all different trades and as a novice climber, I would say craft and skill. Though some climbers do compete to be the fastest in regulated competitions at which point it does become sport. But it's bar none the hardest thing I've ever taken on in my life. So you are truly watching a master of the craft here.
i've seen people drop trees before, but that was another level ..great job guys
You guys are pros. Now I know why tree service is costly, you need an insane amount of skill to fell these gigantic trees. Thank you for the video!
I've wanted to buy a saw so I don't have to keep borrowing my father-in-law's. But I couldn't justify spending the money on a brand new Stihl that I'll only use a few times a year. These Holtzforma knockoffs look like a great solution. I can spend a few more bucks on mods and end up with a solid saw, at least for homeowner use. Thanks for the reviews!
"But I couldn't justify spending the money on a brand new Stihl that I'll only use a few times a year."
There are several real Stihl models that are significantly cheaper than the $289 Holtzforma knockoff in this video. The MS 170 is only $180 right now on Stihl's official website (usually $200) for example and should be more than sufficient for "homeowner use a few times a year."
I love to watch MASTERS of their crafts. Nice job everyone.
Tree Surgeon for 16 years here, instead of cutting straight through stubs, do a step cut free fall, the snap pop lets the stub fall of more vertical, than a cut straight through, for smaller stuff, use a "slash" cut, 45-degree angle, fast sharp saw, one cut and the limb will fall at the same angle it is on the tree.
I did power line safety clearance, working close or above the power network, needed precise cuts and skill, i held WL1 Scottish Power authorisation, we could get closer to the live lines than most linesmen.
glad to see fellow irish men over working
Sitting thinking - why do I like watching trees being cut? Idk
I also like seeing where they fall to, even the small branches.
I think Jakes personality comes into the mix too.
Best wishes & keep safe from 🇬🇧
I was under the impression cottonwood trees were used to make heels for women's shoes. Jake you have balls of steel for climbing. I guess if you have done it as long as you have, you get used to it. Happy New year.
I did a Douglas Fir tree like that in the late 80's in a town called Carver, Oregon. It too was about 170 feet tall, or more. I put a pull line about 15 feet from the top and then dropped down around 15 feet to top it. After I did the cut and the top toppled off there, it seemed like it took forever to hit the ground. I needed the pull line because the tree was about 10 feet from a home, so I wanted to do my best to not let it go the wrong way. I took another 50 feet out of it the same way. After that I quit climbing because it was too exciting. All these years later I just can't think about it. I wasn't strong enough to get even that tiny mac 10 up the tree, so I got up there and used a rope to pull it up. I was foolish to do that job but I had a hard time with NO.
i think auto-correct struck, and highjacked the authors "exhausted" to "excited". thats the nice thing about old school work, none of this computer nonsense!
@@jimk.9493 heart can't take all that excitement 😉
Good bunch of dudes, just working! Gotto love that. August Hunicke is a machine and a wizard tough
love how you show the real work!! in a tree removal
Fun job - thanks for bringing us along! Always fun sending big wood flying from above
In another one of his videos he said that doing this is one of his hobbies. It reminded me of that old saying 'pick a job you love and you never have to work a day in your life'.
Nice subtle leprechaun joke there! Lucky Charms the Irish delicacy 😂🤣
I have been doing trees for a minute and I never got spiking down. Just was too slow. It's cool to see someone that's good at it cruise around.
I took a break, now I am back to binge watching the rest of your videos!
The holzfforma saws are pretty badass for how inexpensive they are. Ive done multiple tree jobs with my 372xp clone and never even had to use my backup.
That intro was perfect. I love it
You commented that one guy said how great August is. But for fairly new guys like me, you say thi gs in your videos that I think in my head.
Flipside August has said that you are a natural in one of his videos. Keep up the great work.
Great freakin show. Love this stuff. Good job fellas thank you far taking us along for the ride 💪🏻🦾🌙☀️🧬
Damn dude, watching you get into that first tree 😅 you guys are some serious athletes!
Fit, tough, professionals. Excellent as always guys.
So satisfying watching those big tops dropping toward the end of this video.
Jake out here dropping straight heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 me and my brother who is a fellow climber we love your videos!!! Keep up the great work! My favorite video is your saw collection I thought it was cute and funny with your little girl emmy much love from Pennsylvania!!!!!
Tino
I love seeing these CLONE SAW videos. The Stihl are expensive.
They’re quality made by people with families. You love seeing communist-produced knockoffs because you’re just as cheap and low-tier as the intellectual thieves who produce these saws.
You guys are straight bad-ass, period!
Awesome. You even got your Lucky Charms jab in.
Dwight's Tree Service just dropped off a huge cottonwood less than 12 hours ago. The base was over 6' in diameter.
Hi Jake, just subscribed. Like your work. In the UK I look after 3 acre private garden, baby Stihl and some Ego electric tools. I appreciate how dangerous they can be, but what you are doing is amazing, my heart is in my throat!
Stay safe! ✌
Nothing to be ashamed by being the second to August Hunicke. He has the top intuition and maintains safety as number one, always. You can later on reach his level. and you are all good already.
Kerf cuts are a great idea on cottonwood! Glad to see em
Good job Michael! Thanks Jake I really enjoyed this video!
Hey Jacob, got the Fir hoody and a t-shirt. So looking forward to representing here in the PNW. Thanks and love all your work.
And I can't believe you go both ways in the tree Jake come on now LOL hahaha great job man
The 200T is 35.2 cc
The cs 355t is 35.8 the echo is around $350 muffler mod and timing advance they do good. It would be a shoot out of the cheep saws.
I have had my echo over a year it is a runner, toss the stock chain. Anyway keep climbing have fun. Catch ya later.
Love my Echo top handle saws. My CS355T sounds like a dirt bike.
@@Billster1955 that other guy who I will not mention out of respect for Jacob(lol) has been running the 2511? with Panther bar and it seems to be doing good. I am running a 355T but I am a nobody.
I was going to comment the same thing. I have a 355T and it's only 35 bucks more and made in Japan. I'd be curious how it stacks up to this Chinese one.
@John Dunbar @Blister1955 broken a 355T yet? I run one that I ported, with a panther 16” bar and chain from august. Rips. But the forward screw mount of the top handle breaks off the crankcase REALLY easily. Don’t drop it and don’t haul like a gorilla on a pinched saw.
@@iffykidmn8170 you are not a nobody.
The self-sharpener works great, and it just kept cutting through some pretty decent logs
Would be cool to compare them both ported.
One thing you can thank August for, is sending me over to this (your new) channel. I’m here to stay because of you.
Really fine video! Thanks to everyone in it for the good watch! Stay Safe!
I used one of those for a year as a Trim saw and it performed perfect once i put a good chain on it .
I'm getting my Holz g660 kit any day now, big bore kit, 36", 28" bars, full chisel and half/ripper, an extra handle that I can chop up, TIG weld to make a full wrap, set a dogs and another scrench.
Good times gentlemen.
With two saws slung you're like a sawslinger Treeson. Fastest saw in the pacific northwest Take that cottonwood!
Nice comment 🌲❤️ I like it
Thanks for showing the Holtzforma, now we actually know. That is a very impressive cottonwood (all 3 of them)-
Jake don’t let trolls get to you. Yes August is an amazing tree man but how many years does he have on you. With any career the longer you do it the better you get. I’m just starting out and you work circles around what I can do. Keep up the amazing work and great content
The guy that criticized you and simultaneously praised August Hunicky was at least smart about his ball breaking. We all love August😂😎
Man I just realized how good that August guy is . 🤣🤣 great job ... just try not to go both ways in the tree !
Just placed an order! I'm planning on testing the holzzforma 288xp soon. Haven't used a holzzforma saw before. After this video I have a little higher expectations now. I hope I like it.
The intro hinge-wood moan! I’m gonna get the Holzfforma 660 clone and use it for milling (run it a little fat and hope it lasts). It’s a better plan than strapping a 36inch bar to my 42cc craftsman 🤣
Just got a 660 clone myself, have quite a few large hardwoods on the property and i figured its ok to splurge sometimes. So far its been awesome, book says to run some ungodly mix but on the 40:1 mix like all the other saws i own its been good to me! Hope you enjoy it !
I had the exact same idea, run it 40:1 with a good ripping chain and I think it’ll make a nice milling saw
Awesome video Jake. It’s good to see you back in your own element. Keep up the great work.
You’ll look back in 5-10 years at these videos of yourself and realize raw talent is great but there is no substitute for experience.
That's the greatest thrill in the world kudos to you guys that's tough work that's the ultimate
Your brave Jake ! Making that first big limb cut with that knock off saw! The whole time I was worried about it barber chairing or something bad. The saw just doesn’t have the power to cut hard and fast for a cut like that
Super ces élagueurs, j'aime leur courage.
On voit très bien que se sont des vrais professionnels.
Bravo encore.
They are continually changing and upgrading their manufacturing process. These current iterations are leaps ahead of where they were when they first came out.
true, and its all because of the input of users ! so keep it coming!
13:25 from the grund "take some painkillers!!!!"
Aside from my earlier comment you are one talented guy. It isn’t an easy job and you do it well.
i know its not your style but i would like to watch some short videos of how you rig, or why you do what you are doing. kind of like into the mind of ol Jacob. great videos! i just wish there was more of them
I saw some high voltage powerlines down there below where u were cutting your tree down , nice job with your climb videos
Amazing stuff. I just wonder how you avoid cutting your own safety ropes sometimes but I see you seem to have two ropes around the tree at anyone time. All I climb a tree for, is to attach a rope going down to the back of my tractor, to put some tension on, to make sure the tree falls in the correct place if I have any doubt. Great video and very informative.
this video was a great watch, that Chinese saw works a treat looks powerful to. nice work.
The August Hunicke comment was awsome !!!!🤣🤣. That’s kinda like that comment that Magic Johnson said to Larry Bird about M.J. “ he ain’t lying” 🤣🤣🤣
Cool to see a local channel!
Much respect for what you do, after most of the branches would swing back and hit me in the face, I’d cut my rope and take the express way down. Keep up the good work and thanks for the reviews. 👍🏾
Thanks for a good video and really nice that you bring up the Big Swede in the tree.
Husky Power🇸🇪💪👍
Not for the faint of heart, that's for sure. These men must be in incredible shape; he's young now, I wonder how things go as you get older and older? I was fearful just watching it; what if you accidentally cut your support rope with the chainsaw? Does he have two support ropes going at all times? Unbelievable, much respect for these men . . .
I had the same question, saw in some of the videos instances where the branches looked rather close to the rope. I was assuming that isn't the only support being relied on, but couldn't see the whole rig with the head cam view.
I have a the MS660 knockoff, been using it for milling, tuned extra rich to keep it cooler the thing is a hard working beast.
Dude that dual wielding chainsaws in the tree was awesome!
ive used bottle jacks before along with wedges works great....
I own this saw in Canada. It’s a $500 saw here after shipping and duty fees 🤦🏼♂️ but cuts good! Great video 🔥
How long have you been using it?
Amazing video! You make the entire process look so easy which I know, it is not. I don't see any smoke from your saws. If you don't mind sharing, what brand 2cycle oil do you use and at what ratio? Your chains look magnificently sharp throughout the entire process. Do you do the sharpening? Tools used?
Can't wait to watch the next video!
There are many good arborists - including you
Tre fellers? You should tag along with Bjarne Butler a day or two
You should review the 201, there’s hardly any 200t’s left and if you find one they’re ridiculously overpriced. Thanks! Love the videos!
Agreed, but preferably a built one to run against the limb reaper
I run a old 020t and about to get a 201t for a pruning and back up saw I know I'll be disappointed in the power but I'm not paying new prices for second hand saws
@@backwoodslogging8443 i have a built 201 and i love it. But I’ve never ran the 020/200 so idk how it compares
I’ve owned a 201tc for a few weeks now, so far I really like it. Admittedly I’m not running it every day all day in a tree, but it’s got solid power and cuts fast. It was a huge improvement over our previous 194t.
@@backwoodslogging8443 open up the muffler and advance the timing and the 201 does great. Buy new like you said you would; later ones come with a pop-up piston for more compression and make noticeably more power. The original ones were EPA-saddled dogs and gave the model a bad rep.
Another awesome video bro 😎 what a monster! I like how you cut your notch in half I’m gonna have to try that👌I always have trouble when the notch is that big. To bad you could not help me with the big hickory, it went well, there will be more believe that! Keep them coming bro!!!
czcams.com/video/2x7MXn5zuEw/video.html
Bar to short ,try that
I love these china saw vids there so interesting bc you never know what will happen😂
Jake going all Duel-Wielding Axe Bezerker mode there with the two chain saws. Pretty cool.
