- Besides equipment, Samuel Luria commented on my last video and made me realize, I seriously need to get some insurance if I'm going to be doing this. Shit can happen to anyone, at anytime.
- Jak na to + styl
No idea how I got here but glad I did
Ain't gunna.find one of those saws in da garbage taco.
I love the amount of appreciation you show your workers, you don't get that over here in the UK, great work
Damn I thought it was going to hit the truck for a sec lol
I can smell the wood and the 2stroke oil from watching this video.
mmmmmmm Good stuff!
that’s the good stuff...
Civilized Delinquent nothing but a summer day an a big glass of sweet tea after a job like this.
So can I, smells good
You two make a great crew. keep it up man! your on the right road!
You’re gonna do good on the latter of success and there’s no doubt about it. You have every thing it takes and most of all you’re a hard working guy.
Honestly a badass job. Love your passion too
Extremely talented professional! If your ever in Poconos in Pa there is an ocean of side jobs here and can let wood right on site. I’ll pay for a vacation here for a half days work lol.
Hey Human, I love the vids and really enjoy the different shots. I have been reading the comments and hear a lot of good advice but I also have to say a few things jump out at me being a retired business owner. The comment about insurance is good advice. Anything can go wrong and often does. Sometimes small, sometimes huge. If you are paying someone to work for you and they are not an independent contractor then you may need workman's comp insurance on them depending on what State you are in. Some municipalities require a business license to do any work and you may have to get it for each city you work in. If you are working for someone full time and only doing side work, this might not sit well with your current employer, especially if your jobs are being done in the same jurisdiction. You are taking jobs that could be his. Until you are ready to branch out (no pun intended) on your own, and start a full fledged business, you might be better off making a deal with your employer to get a bonus commission plus your regular salary on all jobs you generate. You get an extra bonus and he takes all the liability, a win win. Its been my experience that loyal employees usually get great recommendations, a hand, and some work thrown there way when they do start up their own company. Not always, some bosses are dicks, but you wouldn't be working for one of those guys very long with your skills. Just some food for thought. Keep up the great vids and stay safe.
Thanks for the tips! Been researching, and doing the lynda.com business training, and there's way more to it than I ever thought. Not ready to go out on my own by any means, just doing the occasional side job. I'm back where I started trees at, took some other experience to realize how well the company is run. Side work was one of the issues leading me to leave in the first place, but I was upfront about not stopping, so we agreed that it's ok. I don't go looking for work anyway, just what comes my way. Learning that doing a job well gets you many clients though, do a job for a family member, at the end of the job you've 5 bids for neighbors to give. To the point where I have to stop taking jobs, a little time off is needed, lol.
I love watching true pros apply their trade. Thank you.
I like the communication. Good teamwork.
It's cool that you and your dad get to do work that you enjoy together.
The quote at the end is the same issue with me. I got a small tractor all the climbing gear and a truck. I need a good steady groundie and a chipper good video ..had some heavy limbs up top
Pleasure to watch. I didn't own a chainsaw until I was 40 and ever since wished I'd had one at 18. Great job, you got them landing pefectly, if I was a young man at the start of my career, id have done this instead of what I did. Make a good living, don't come off the tools until your not able to do it anymore, then worry about growing the business much bigger, enjoy your work rather than money. Everyone needs money, but you need self satisfaction more.
Absolutely agree, I care more about enjoying my career than about making as much money as I can. Glad you eventually got a saw =) Enjoy it
your cuts are getting really good.
great video
At my age, I have no intentions of doing this, but its fascinating to watch, it involves physics, science, and a high level of education. Best,
joe Schlotthauer not much education required I dropped out of high school and I had my own business I climbed and then everything else any dumbass can do this
Brian Cash lmao let the boy dream dammit. Hahaha life doesn't suck until your at least 18, then when your 25 you understand how much it sucks, by time your 30, you should've figured out how to minimize the suck.
@@dirtbag4559 haha you probably did shit work and went out of "business" (pickup a chainsaw and some spurs counts as a buisness now?) from lack of repeat clients, and now you're sour about it. So many guys like you think they can be proper arborists, and especially climbers without understanding proper pruning/deadwooding, efficient climbing, and how the biology of trees, especially different species, works. Sure you don't need a masters but the tree industry is unfortunately full of fuckheads like yourself that think they know it all and then die or knock some big shit down on a house or powerline, fuck up the whole job so the actual qualified people who graduated highschool can step in and slowly start to fix your awful work over the course of years. Any dumbass can do this, any dumbass can weld, any dumbass can do electrical, key point no dumbass such as yourself can do these things properly even though they think they're hot shit hahaha. So how'd your business end there bud?
polk4pres I never advertised customers kept me busy And over bid work trying to not get it cuz I had more than I knew what to do with
@@dirtbag4559 haha so you went out of buisness because you had too much buisness? Nice explanation there. Ya you were definitely a shit tree guy lol.
Good gear and good saws makes a big difference. And yes good groundies
Great job man and yeah we have to crawl before we walk in this business and I'm sure by the end of the year you should have your truck and chipper. I am working on my first dump truck for now but these bills never stop...lol
I know! =( Thought I had a functional 1 ton dump last weekend, texted the guy to let him know I was on my way, and he says in just sold.........DAMMIT
Get it! Damn, all trailered out.. that's a lot of friggen work! Hope you charged enough to make the sore back all worth it haha. That lanyard has seen better days, my good man
awesome job man ur one of the best ive seen keep it up
That saw is running great.
Man watching this video gives me flashbacks from when I broke my arm in 3 places rigging shit the exact same way. Real long out in the middle. A top swung back and I didn't tell my ground guys to drop it. The butt end flew past me then swung into me and knocked me into a stob. Arm broke in 3 places and have nerve damage in my left lower forearm, wrist, and hand and in my foot
not sure if you are still working with trailer and truck but for bigger trees i would reccomend looking into getting a dumpster. I just took on a big side job of a 5ft diameter maple and i was planning on taking it to the dump bit by bit, but then priced out what it would be for a dumpster and it turns out to be a lot cheaper..
Congrats on 100k!
Hey Cory I was wondering if you could tell me a good place to learn different ways of rigging trees, I’m a new climber and I’m really interested, Love the videos!
Wow, great job. Still getting my confidence climbing but I started with nothing but a chainsaw. Now I have gear, ropes, spurs, and a trailer. Nothing like feeling like a man at work. Also, I saw you took a bad fall. I hope you recover bro. You do good work and your videos rock.
Also, someone else may have said it, but when rigging limbs down like this, the groundie should let it run. Bit before slowing it down. It allows the hinge to do its job and breaks clean, then since its in freefall for a couple feet, it's gets out of your work space so it's not a danger to you.
That was some nice work man...
I only do my own wood around the farm and out in the woods for firewood.
Still, you can get just as fucked up!
I watch these videos frequently and have learned tons, which has boosted my confidence and made me more conscious of all the hazards and using better techniques to do it better and safer.
Really enjoy your personality and approach to things Human.
Just recently subbed!
Rock on 🤘 brother and keep the good vids coming.
That jazz about the road cones had me rolling!
Great that you pay well for the people that help you earn, you gained my sub.
Hey buddy, nice video, I came over from August. It looks like you're a natural at the game. I'm no tree expert, so I can't comment on your methods etc, but you seemed to have planned well and have good equipment. I thought of one thing, do the limbs and boughs damage the lawns when they fall? Maybe you could have some ply or other board that fits in the back of your truck that you could lay out to protect peoples lawns from damage during the process. I imagine you could rope down or ratchet strap the boards on top of any load you had to carry away, as the boards would be the last thing to pick up. It's the kind of thing that might win you more work. Neighbour says to neighbour "and you know what, they even protected my lawn from damage while they did the job"! That could be the difference that gets you the job, even if your bid is similar to another arborist. I wish you all the best in your progression and hope you achieve your aims in a field you are obviously gifted in. All the best and good luck, Tim (Spain)
Evidence of a Fabulous Life I
That new saw looks badass!!
Nice job, you are on the right path. I bought a f350 landscape body first. Could haul brush wood/chips. Rented a chipper when I needed it. Bought chipper next.
Nice, have access to a 6" vermeer chipper, need something to chip into though. Dad's a cadillac mechanic, and says that if it's not a GMC or Chevy, he's not working on it, lol, so that limits it a bit. Looking at a couple on craigslist now though, couple chevy 3500 diesel 4x4's with flat beds that would work well. Can just build a box/whatever for the back.
Nice video! I love your choice of saws and technique! Something tells me you're going to go far with this arborist gig... lol
I hope so! Pretty much all in right now, and still loving it.
You got this...been there done that, came out the other side grinning
Awesome work man.
You're right, insurance is very important for a tree man/Arborist. One of his crew fell from the tree and nearly ruptured a disc in his back. Without insurance, that would have been the end of the company. He'd have had to sell his trucks, chippers and saws to get it paid for. My brother often complained about how expensive insurance was for his men. His wife was constantly on the phone with insurance companies trying to find a better rate. It's a treat to watch your videos. Also, if you open your own business, go LLC; you limit your liability that way. If the company goes down, it won't take you down with it.
Thanks for the tip
You can also get your guys insurance through a temp agency
Sweet video. Real smooth. The saw looks super rad. I ended up getting the clogger zero climbing chaps but you where so right about them being hot. I'd never had chaps before and wow they're pretty warm. Feels like I'm wearing snow pants. I'm going to get the clogger spider ones like you got in a little bit.
Yeah, I'd love to say I wear chaps as I should, fact is though, when it's hot out, I don't ever wear them. After about 30 mins with them on, I'm about completely drained/dehydrated. They should be awesome when it's cold out though!
Yeah looking forward to when it's not hot as crap out. Keep it up and Stay safe🤙
I like the paint job on your saw bro.. Nice take down btw!!
that was smooth as fuck you have learned super fast man you are going to go a long ways in this game
Thanks =) Seems like the more I get into it, the more stressful it gets. Didn't realize just how much is involved with running a legit business (not that I'm legit yet).
It takes awhile to get a full system down for running a business.. but once you do its well worth it.. And with the love and dedication you have for it I have no doubt you'll get There in no time..
Keep up the good work!
Human yeah man don't stress. One step at a time. Everything will become more routine and easier but the beginning can be kind of tough. Your going to do great. Good luck bro.
Thanks much. Not going at it on my own just yet though, just going to be doing more and more over time, try and learn it slow, not jump head first.
Human...did U not learn anything from "Dan the Conman"? If U were using his chainsaw...we could of watched 2 more hrs of video after editing! Hope Ur not offended by the comment...Ur a true "Tree Man" & see Ur ability n every video. Prayed for Ur recovery after the horrendous fall...bruh- mad respect for U!! Don't think I could of filmed the rod through the leg procedure. Put my ass to sleep!
You don't need a chipper brotha. Just 2 GOOD hands. I've been in business for 3 years and we have almost every tree down and cleaned up in 10 hours. All I use is my climbing gear and a pick up with a trailer 👍 Don't be afraid to venture on your own. You got this✊
It doesn't hurt to have a chipper, though - especially for garbage wood like Gum.
1 good guy = 20+ / hr? Plus work comp and payroll expenses so more like 30. 10 hour day x 30 = 300. A good used 6 inch chipper is 5k. That's 17 days of labor to pay off. Figure 19 for fuel and knives etc. I ALWAYS know where my chipper is. He always shows up. He doesn't talk back. He makes work alot easier. "GOOD" help? Very hard to find. Not even used on craigslist can I find them. They are there, but rare these days. More equipment for the win! Just my thoughts. Lol
I don’t know if by now you’ve got a chip dump truck or chipper but thought I’d recommend checking out equipment auctions. Often you can find pretty killer prices. I bough a
2002 f550 7.3 Powerstroke diesel 4x4 manual transmission with 60k miles (these trucks go 500k to 1mil miles) bought it for 11k it’s easily worth $25k-$35k or more if I sold it, based on Craigslist markets I’ve seen. Figured I’d drop a line a suggest checking them out. I’m west coast but I see some auctions east coast that have killer deals from time to time.
You make it look so easy but I know it's hard as hell ball busting and scary
Move to the ozarks let’s cut sum but I’m stayin on the GROUND 😂 you do good work
Best use of a GoPro yet!
Hey mate was wondering what bigger saw u had up in the tree with u to bring the bigger limbs down . atm I can't decide between grabbing a 462 or a 36 to go along with my 201 .. Cheers
Why is this so entertaining and how did i find this video
Nice job and thank you for sharing
That chainsaw sounds like a pissed off chihuahua
It's satisfying to watch your talent...super dangerous though!
Nice cones :) I've got two cones, I must be big time too :)
I got scared like fifteen times just by watching this because when the big logs came swinging back around towards him. I looked like he almost fell. And falling out of a tree is my worst fear
Awesome video brother
WHY ANYONE WOULD WANT TO CUT DOWN THAT BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY TREE IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION!
Healthy? It was covered in death, and it looked like it had some parasitic growths in the branches (yes, there are parasitic plants, too - like mistletoe). Besides, if the homeowner doesn't want it, down she goes.
Love the video. I hope to have a tree service after Army life.
Nicely done sir
Heart sank when he laid the saw on his rope
Awesome wood for the Norm Abrams types, or a good wood burning stove. Sad to see it go in the mulcher.
I also notice your roper not dropping the limbs out of your area quick enough the one almost hitting you having to jump. If he let's it ride for a few feet you can prevent a serious injury. Smashing a leg or hand can end careers before they start. Stay safe
Adam Polinski For real that's some of the worst roping I have ever seen! Theses ground guys need to be up there with a climber one time to see how easy it is to break some ones legs or arms or get some one crushed by not letting the limb run. If I was Corey I would have chewed his ass out! I don't know if they are too stupid to realize what they are doing is dangerous as hell or if they are not skilled enough to be able to let it run at least enough to get clear of the climber. But I as a climber make sure I have a good ground guy roping for me especially when big wood is involved as it's just too dangerous for green horns!!!!!!
What saw was that you were using Matey, Nice work Mate. I really think your, your own harshest critic don't listen to lounge room lizards at anytime, I am into Horses amongst other things and friends with one of the Best this Country has ever made and he always used to say when they are standing in front of me at the Pay window rather than behind me then I might listen
Was a 200T, 362, and 661
Cool thanks for that Matey have an awesome day
Your an exelent worker my friend. I like this video.
Im from sweden and more ore less raised with a huskey chainsaw. It isnt the big ones that are dangerous it the small ones and that you are getting cookey. How many trees do you have to process to pay for damage on your car. Put it away.
Can you explain that "double looped" kind of knot? I tried to pause and look but can't clearly see it. It looks like a choker or something. Thanks.
definately get the insurance. in my area premiums are dirt cheap.
Nice job, how much did you charge for that removel???
What do you do with the wood after it's cut?
Very nice work.
Have you tried putting direction cuts aimed towards your rigging point? Helps swing those branches round and if they are tied off mid-length on the branch they will swing round easier! 🖒 Climb safe pal.
Thanks for the tip, didn't know that.
He's right. Also bro...if you keep making your notch upside down like that it's gonna not work out for you one day. I only make that notch when I want the limb to rotate on the fall more for whatever specific reason. Controlling that log or top is important. one day it's gonna land mid turn with all that momentum and turn into a missle and go through a wall or a person. Also if you reverse your notch and make it skinnier and leave a little more meat on it to pop off instead of such a clean cut you can "jump" the log or top off...givng you much more clearance from the base. useful when getting over fences and such close to the base of the tree. Lastly...I notice you drop logs into piles somewhat often...near houses and fences as well...I'd have my ground men clear that pile up every so often...big ol log dropping 50 feet hits another log and shoots off to the side...again...goin through a house, fence, or person...no bueno. Be safe man.
Not trying to preach bro...I'm 11 years in this and just passin on some advice. Everyone does things different but it never hurts to keep an open mind and try new things...have a good one!
Great job Human!!
Why are these videos so interesting?!?!
wow you have mad skills
You did a great job
Great Job Man 😎👍🏼
If we payed people by their skill, effort and artistry as in your videos what the money pusher people like stock traders, mortgage lenders, and lawyers earn it would make the world more fair. In history the makers were the most essential to the tribe and taught what they knew to the next generation so they would literally be able to survive. Present day, the makers, doers and teachers don't get what they deserve. I value these videos and wish you all the success you deserve. Shout out to good mechanics, farmers, tradesmen that toil everyday keeping this world running for the lavish lifestyles of hedge fund managers, CEOs, arms dealers and other pieces of shit.
Do you have a vid on you painting the saws?
That was so smooth..... have you ever dropped a saw when your in the tree
Great job ✊✊✊✊✊
Thats dope.. skills all day
nice job on the take down . just a heads up that green lanyard looks like it has a big cut on it please check it don't want to watch you get hurt . okay bud be safe
Correct, just noticed it myself on that climb, must have nicked it with my silky. I'll be splicing another soon.
just looking out for ya more eyes are better than 2 . Its funny how someone from the outside notices things . I was a climber for a short while at a tech class in high school and new york state tree felling champ for 2 years in a row . I do so enjoy watching talented climbers pick a tree apart it is an art form . Plus i saw a video with a adorable little daughter i would feel guilty if i saw that rope and said nothing . Be safe my friend
Oooo your Lanyard is almost broken! Dont Take anymore chances Like that
Nice work. What was the little Sthil you were using at the beginning?
which saw were you using at the opening?
What did you make on this one hoss,your editing is superb
Awesome job !!!
Yeah, a 4" chipper and a pickup does wonders for the brush and the rest is logs
Was this before or after you fell? Just wondering if you're back at it good vids brother keep it up
i would never have the balls to record my side job and put it out there for my boss to see
Nice cones... need to get ya a super sweet mini-van like Dan Dan the Fraud tree man
Trees: We're so big and strong, puny humans can't touch us!
Some random human: Invents the chainsaw.
Trees: Oh fuck..!
Nice job, how much money you teak for this Tree? I meak seam job in Germany, but im not good as you :)
A tree "Surgeon" with great skill.
How much did he get paid you reckon? Just wondering
Hey, I was just curious, towards the end of your video, were you using a ms 661c-m? I couldn't see the flywheel side of the saw, but the startup sounded alot like how mine sounds when I first start it up?
Nice work!
what do you use for the cleanup? for my small little family company, we use a standard, 8x6 trailer with a 6-foot rise. and when we clean up what we do is; once we add the brush in, we then compact it by cutting the branches down to make more room.. the poor man's chipper is what I call it. We separate the large from the small that way the cutting is faster and easier. I am able to fit quite a lot in my little trailer. after hearing this took you and your pops 9 hours to clean up I just wanted to share my 2 cents and hopefully, i may have helped.
At the time I was using a tandem trailer, being pulled by my dads 1/2 ton, so we had to make quite a few trips. Since then I picked up the duramax, and my buddy bought a huge dump trailer he lets me use, so it would've been much quicker now. I do the same as you though, load it up, cut it up in the trailer, load it up again =)
This so cool dude , how much did u get for that side job?
Your very good and smart. Hope you make your own business and it takes off!
He's a Navy Man. What do you expect?!?
pretty impressive
Are you ever gonna go fully self employed with your own business love ur vids
Should have called Dan's tree service for help!!! Lmao
right on nice work
Wow! you did a really good job for that person!
Rick I
