I mostly do tree work in Washington State but I am insured for all lower 48
love your channel my man. my wife hates when i fall asleep at night watching these and they keep autoplaying, just chainsaws screaming all night long.
Welcome to Lincoln County Jacob! I'm just a few miles south of Lincoln City. That's a Sitka spruce and we have lots of them. They don't have a tap root like a Doug fir does. Shallow rooted, roots fan out on the ground and with all those limbs they're liable to tip over when the wind blows. Not a high grade lumber tree. An empty detergent jug works good for aerial piss calls, easy to send up the tree and nobody can see your plumbing while you're emptying the reservoir. Glad to see you're employing the RRP. Great tool. Thanks for the video...
Honestly, I just had this show up and I am thoroughly enjoying watching your work. You seem so patient and jus go about your business. I would be terrified being up that high but you make it seem so matter of fact with it. You are an amazing craftsman. Hope you have a great day.
You guys make it look easy. I was a little dissappointed we didnt get to see the whole tree down. Part 2? Great job great content..thanks guys
Now this I was not expecting - how neat the extraction of the tree branches were separated from the trunk, My older brother (bless his dear smile) who also did this type of work and just like you guys were very good at what he did. Big difference was the machinery they did not have just the chainsaws, wire rope, wood cutting saws and axes, the big branches was cut into firewood for sale, remaining refuse was chopped up & used as mulch for Home Gardeners. This is some 70 years ago, My beautiful memories of how they did it back when resourcefulness did come not with modern machinery but all hard YACKA, blood sweat n laughs. JUst like you modern guys who are doing the same work but alot more PANACHE cheers & work safely
I remember years ago watching Ace Tree for inspiration in my own tree work. In my opinion you guys have gotten to that level of filming and make some of the best content nowadays , especially from this side of the world!
Thanks! They are awesome
The amount of skill and stamina here is incredible.
I was going to say the same thing. Astonishing.
Awesome video! I was offered an apprentice position one time with rope & saddle at five dollars an hour but couldn't afford it at the time and had to turn it down. I did step into the nursery and landscaping construction works and was groundskeeper for a tree farm of 10,000 tree's. After the planting I tended to a total of 35,000 trees and learned a great deal from the owner in my apprenticeship at tree farming. A truly great person who taught me so much and a good friend also! Thumbs up guys, trees are awesome!
The first thing I must say is Bravo! Your entire operation was so well orchestrated and you made it look effortless. You were way up there dude. I could have taken a bite of that hamburger, chewed and swallowed it in the time it took for one of those firewood length pieces to hit the ground. You were dancing around up there like you were on the ground. I'm in my early 60's now but in my prime I used to climb telephone poles. You and your subscribers have earned this story I am about to tell for your laughter and enjoyment. One day I was up a pole and had to shut down some equipment for service. The company I was working for at the time required that the exterior speaker of the truck be on at all times when you were up a pole for insurance reasons regarding weather. That day when I was deep into the job the dispatcher came over the radio and said for all climbers to come down and wait out the weather event. I thought I could get it re-energized and working before I came down. I thought wrong. The wind started blowing so bad I couldn't stand in a fixed position while working on the equipment. I kept swinging around the pole and my gaffs would start to blow out. I started getting a little nervous realizing I had made a bad mistake. I called a buddy to assist and he and I together got things in order. When I came down 2 hours later my knees were shaking and well you get the picture. I was maybe 30' up. I say you and your subscribers will laugh and I welcome it because man you were like 170' up there for the whole day. You have my respect. Well done. Great editing and overall I enjoyed every minute. Thank you. LIKED and SUBSCRIBED.
Nice take down buddy. Gotta love the days where it’s worth while just staying in the tree opposed to coming down.
I tell you what I'm sitting here watching this eating my lunch today at work. I usually don't get too anxious when you climb but this one was giving me the shakes. Lol I'm not even the guy in the tree nor would I ever climb a tree. I'll fix the truck that pulls the chipper but I'm not climbing a tree. Especially something like that. Don't know how you do it man but it's always a joy to watch you work.
Well I haven’t accomplished anything this afternoon because of you!! I just happened up on this video and could not stop watching it. I am amazed. You are my new pass time!!
Thank you for an amazing video. I don't think I have come across a tree that tall, and felt a bit scared at first seeing you climb higher and higher until the only way was down. Thank you, for an awesome share.
Wow! That was amazing to watch! Time to watch part 2! Great job!
Well this is the best Arborist channel on You tube, YT keep encouraging me to watch others so I have, but honestly, they don’t even come close. I love your expertise, quality footage, camera angles, banter, good manners, seeing different parts of the process, ongoing conversations & above all you’re a really hard worker - or grafter as we say in the U.K.
One thing I would like to see is a picture of you before the beard times 😆🤣😂 🌲
Thank you so much! If you watch “how to zip line a tree” on my first CZcams channel you can see the horror lol
You never ask a man with a beard, what he looked like before he earned his beard.

I’m sure Jacob wasn’t offended 😆
It was a joke boss.
Great work. Good to see the channel growing. And to see more Patreon posts
Man, you’re good.
Ya show up, and go about it.
Great work. Great Vibe too
Excellent work bro. Can't believe the amount of energy you put in to your work.
There is Beast Mode. And if you make another step further, there is Treeson Mode! Way to kick butt.
young kings handling serious business w a smile you love to see it
Worked for Asplundh doing this work in my early 20s. Found a different line of work, mad respect for what you guys do...
Well done Jake! Good to see your videos again.
Dude, these videos are therapy. Keep going.
Great seeing you on the BIG wood again Jake. I love your videos dude !
100K is right around the corner! That's awesome!
Good job Jake, I'm a new comer to your videos and seeing your work. Just by watching you has really expired me totally.great work and personality. Thanks for showing me the safe way of tree falling.
I do not know why you saying thanks to me, but your welcome..
Sorry about that Jake I mint it for Jacob.👍.
You need a climber friendly soda can? They make it. Its called a screw top plastic bottle. Or a stainless steel bottle. Get a high quality narrow mouth with a loop. They also make double wall steel bottles, stays cold. Costs less than a new chain. They also make bags for cans, use a climber's chalk bag. You're welcome!
Could we get a in depth story time of how you got in tree work at what age and just basically a timeline of your career did you go to college etc when you started CZcams etc. would be great to hear it thanks
Thank you for sharing this job with us. You an amazing craftsman. God bless.
Hard work! Thanks for showing us your expertise!
i am terrified of heights!! wow, you are a beast
Such quality work and 'videomanship'. I love your laugh the best 😂 Keep it up!
I really liked this video, Jake! The view is amazing, and the eagles. So cool! Your poor legs! Nice crew, too.
The more I watch the more amazing I find it the man up the 🌲 is amazing can’t get over what I’m seeing it’s fantastic.
Nice work Jacob. That’s a long day in the tree. I hope you’re keeping hydrated. You don’t want a kidney stone. Keep up tge great work.
Great work!
Very impressive 🤩
I liked the long video 👍🏻
That was fun watching how you live among the canopy and that view was heavenly!
I have always enjoyed watching you fell trees. You offer a lot of good insight into your decisions and techniques. Nice job
To be clear: "Felling" trees means cutting them at or near the ground and controlling the direction in which they fall. It's an art in itself. This man is having to piece the tree down. He has to figure out how to safely land every single part of the tree with the help of his ground crew. It is a much more strenuous and dangerous job. I did this work as a young man and loved it.
Oh man...a marathon session up in the clouds for you all day. Majorly impressive! Off to part 2 now!
Great video as always! Love tree cutting!
Every once in a while I would wonder why I hadn't seen your videos in a while, good news is the algorithm just recommended this and now I see you have a new channel! Happy to have found you again.
Great content. Great filming, excellent commentary. All around just fk'n good!
Wow dude. Fantastic view while you was cutting down that tree. Really wow great job
You do amazing work very professional, great video's.
Great video! Hard work! I catch myself kinda bracing with worry.❤
That early wood is tough stuff.
Fascinating video. I was intrigued. You are a true Pro.
I’ve never, absolutely never, seen anyone stay up topping out a tree as long as you have done in this video!!!!

It’s amazing what You Guys Do,,,I get Scared going on a Ferris wheel,,,I No it’s a Job,,But it’s a job like no other!!!!
Great work. Love your work. You do an awesome job.
You are one strong dude, keep it up, amazing
You’re right about spruce being so dang heavy. I’ve often thought it was water retention as it seems to be a more fibrous wood.
Spruce, imo, is lighter than Douglas-fir. Log weight calculators agree with me. As to how much heavier it is wet versus dry, I can't say, as I've cut many times more fir. Redwood, however, if cut in the spring, sinks. It's almost as heavy as live oak
@@rogerbarnett8412 You’re right! I looked it up on both log tables I have and green D. Fir is heavier. I’m not sure why, but green spruce feels heavier to the unscientific mind when moving it around the sawmill. Maybe it’s because the fir is all gang and merchant sort, so smaller logs, where as some of the spruce is 36” diameter at the butt.
Awesome; buddy; you are up there!
Epic tree epic video. 🙏 thAnk for sharing your expertise
Nice video, you make it look so easy.
One thing that I use when speed lining from a high tie in is set straps around 10-15 feet apart as I descend from tie in on rope… really helps with getting rope back to climber.
great as usual Jacob
Omg, my heart is pounding. What a job.
I watch CZcams videos on fire tv so I rarely comment. That tree was so epic I had to get my phone out to comment.
Total respect to you and your crew for professional work. I worked on heights as a young man on bridges. I don't think I'd ever be able to do what you do.
Cracking job done, now that's dedication for you, nearly 8 hours in the tree with spikes on, awesome work. My feet would have gone numb, let alone leg and back ache. Hope they're paying you well.
Oh goody goody goody ... a new GoT vid! Gotta be an adult and do work stuff for another two hours but I'm looking fwd to watching this!
I was gonna say pretty much the same thing xD
you the man, flip-pen awesome dude, thoughts and prayers, stay safe
Good view of Devil's Lake from up there. Great video as always!
So ultra cool! Nice view also! You have so much power and endurance. Thats so admireable! You are a "tree seal" :-)
Hell yeah brother looks like an awesome day at the office God bless you brother Charlie Western PA
Very cool, good rigging, this is right around to corner from our house in Lincoln City with Devil's Lake in background 🙂
You and your team did and awesome job.
this was fun! Tx, Rich
Had a guy speed line or zip line my 60’ white pine. First time I’d seen the technique.
He clipped on 5 limbs at a time then cut each and attached another 5. Smaller tree and branches. Nice neat pile. Nothing hit the house. Neat setup.
This I an amazing channel. Awesome video.
Good job. Awesome video.
Can't wait for the sequel!
I can watch these videos until the sun comes up! Thanks for posting!!!
Awesome work 👏
Great job brother 👏
Good googley moogley! Awesome job!
Nuts of steel!! Great job 👍
Here we go again. A nice new video!
Excellent work boys.
Wow great video!
I was dying laughing, but of course my wife said," but he didn't wash his hands." Great video, thanks for taking us up with you.
You can tell your wife that he had gloves on, so that would've covered it. lol
@@kelvingrebert7315 😆😂😅🤣
Absolutely brilliant work, thanks for sharing.
You are one hard worker...
REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE ❤❤❤
If you want to check out the biggest Sitka Spruce in OR check out the one on Cape Meares just north of Lincoln City. A nice grove of siblings around it also......
Awesome video. Love the lunch room lol
Nicely done man. I take it what you clear on the way up just makes your life easier for when the top-tie and speed line/rigging are in place? This was a very helpful video
My bad you totally answer my question in this! 🤘🏻
Awesome Job!
Jake ....... easy solution to your beverage can delivery is to get one of your speed line loops and a can cozy, place the base of the can in the middle of the inside of the speed line loop ..... slip cozy onto can, this will have enough friction to keep the loop under the can (make sure the speed line loop is balanced and sitting evenly on either side of the can), clip it onto rope and pull up to you. you can do the same basic thing with a bent wire coat hanger made into a universal hanging hook for your can
Dude you are nuts lol! Keep up the great work bud love the videos!!
Nice work!!👍👍
dude ,,,, that's straight up awesome ,,,, ,,,,,love it,,,,
Hi Jake - loving your continuing content 👌😎 - if you want a quick hack on how to measure height (& progress etc) use your compass on your iPhone (elevation) - excellent for real time progress measurement too - keep on hanging in there bud 🙌 - AL
That's a nice view up there.
You’re customers probably thought it was “raining”😂🤣
I enjoy when you show the aeria when you're up cutting ✂️. Hey, the higher the better, yes??
Interesting spelling, but it's area.
great video!
Great job Jake
You are the real McCoy mate. Love your videos.
Quite a stamina and "party blather" - good to see you back up there
