Camera gives no justice to how big that tree really is. Nice job Jake!
I don’t know about that. That tree looked huge.
I have a small company myself usually I have one guy and my wife and sometimes I get discouraged when customers don't go with me and they want to go with the bigger company because they have wood chippers and cranes and everything else it's cool to see a smaller company doing big work good job guys
Yep think people just likes their neighbours to see the big signs written that usually does half the job at twice the price where the we guy would do as good if not better
I have my own company as well. Primary setup is a dump trailer, sometimes small chipper depending on size of job, and occasionally we will rent lifts and other stuff. I am looking at maybe investing in additional equipment down the road. But with that being said, what I have learned is it’s not always the size of the equipment but how you utilize and maximize efficiency with what you have. Also find your niche. Some jobs are better suited to companies that have log trucks, huge chippers, cranes, etc. Doesn’t mean you can’t still do it, you just have to ask yourself is it worth it to you to get involved with such large jobs with your current capabilities, etc. But there is plenty of work you just have to find your niche. Some companies do everything, some specialize in certain things, etc.

The largest flying boat, Howard Hughes spruce goose was made of spruce.
Great work and a really nice team! 👍👍👍👍
I know nothing of of your profession but your honesty and humility is a great attribute. One cannot improve if they think they know everything.
I've been cutting and climbing for over 40 years and I still learn something new every day. That's what keeps it interesting. That's what I like about tree work and I'd probably quit if it got boring.
I would love to see you film with Buckin Billy Ray. I think he could give you confidence on falling large trees. With that being said, don’t be so hard on yourself. I admire your willingness to share what you feel you’ve made mistakes on. Well done Jake!
I agree with brad!
I'll just copy a post I put on Part 1......This is just mesmerizing. You are truly a beast machine, keep up the
good work. Guys like you are why I got a youtube account, so I can
compliment a solid guy like you.
Thank you so much
This was the most technical stick drop process you've done yet, even when I followed you at ETW. Incredible work man always real, kid friendly, educational and engaging.
It's down with no injuries or damages, well done to the team🧐👍🏼
Absolutely love seeing the fact that your still learning too , especially since I started watching your content and found out that I'm felling tree wrong these past few years ( self taught and only for firewood ).
Keep up the good content mate
Great job guys. No ones hurt, no property damage, and everyone made a check. Were all learning.
Nice group of guys, and I wish them great success! Getting it done one tree at a time.
Jake, don’t beat yourself up over that spruce! It fell with no casualties to equipment, people or property. 😊
Realizing the limits of your skills is humbling...knowing where and how to improve them is how you make progress in your career...your team works very well together...good video...happy cutting and stay safe with those big trees...they're not forgiving when it comes to mistakes...if you know someone that cuts those big ones, see if they'll let you observe and learn from them...learning pro skills will keep you and your team alive (that includes rigging knots) 🙂
We always leave a rope and pulley in the spar when we have to come down at the end of the day. The following day you can use a GRCS or mini skid to hoist you back into the tree and it saves you a wasted climb back to the top. Starting from the top with fresh legs makes a world of difference when working down big trunks like that.
Camera guy is so laid back 🤣 like reminds me of turtle dude off Finding Nemo lmao 🤣😂
Awesome! What a remarkable tree! There's only one way to get experience Jacob, don't be so hard on yourself 👊👍
Quick question why are you knot using face cuts and holding wood to control your fall?
Sitka Spruce is a truly wonderful wood!! It is used in a lot of Piano construction. The Soundboards are made almost exclusively of Sitka. The wood is so highly prized that a lot of Off Shore companies now own the majority of America’s Sitka Forests.
This was an amazing couple of videos. Loved them!!
Absolutely. I was thinking of all the wonderful acoustic instruments that could have been made with that wood. It looked very stiff. Thinner. Stiffer... wonderful instruments.
That tree was worth a ridiculous amount of $$$, and they just chunked it into firewood... INCONCEIVABLE!
Really great to watch. Great job on the tree and great job on the video and editing. Seriously all kinds of art. You are a machine, I can't believe the work you can do in a day, super hard to find that kind of dedication these days.
I can only imagine two guys pushing a 72" two-man cross-saw back and forth bringing one of these things down to build Howard Huges Hercules flying boat in the 1940s. Great content. Enjoy watching you get tired. Thanks for the videos.
great job bringing it down Jacob & the Dr HTS team. awesome job guys. keep it up
Great job. You guys did a great job. 3 Men and a yuge tree. Awesome. great video too. keep them coming Jake !
That “unreal” as you started climbing sounded like Ed Bassmaster
I learnt more from this not going quiet to plan than many videos where they only show the ones that were straight forward.
Thanks for sharing. 😎🤘
Fantastic video. I enjoy seeing work done on big trees with big saws! Your explanation on what and how you are doing a task is cool too!
Great work out for you there Jacob, love you're content. stay safe working hard.
Friggin love your videos. Thanks for showing the felling that went wrong, can def learn from that. From a young kid i had always wanted to do what you do for a job. Every time i watch one of your vids i do wonder why i am working a boreing '9-5'..... definitely motivating me to change job
A joy for the eye seeing you working the flipline up the tree 😍
When you are blocking the timber into cookies please film more of it nothing better than hearing a big saw work. Love your videos
Great job most people don't have a clue how heavy logs are
It’s pretty wild to see some of the trees over there on the west coast. Biggest tree I’ve cut was a 30” white pine that was probably 80 feet tall. She gave me about 32 16’ 2x6’s though!
Really appreciate the efficiency in your use of that climb line as a haul line as well. Way to conserve energy
i fell trees on the west coast of bc for 25 years. with a 32 or 36 inch bars. my biggest spruce...14 ft across finished cut with a 42 inch bar. being humble saved you with me. big deep undercuts for big trees. love you vids.
Go to reg coates old beech vids and check that device he made to push rounds off…ratchet type deal…good job Jake
Nice Sunday morning watching some tree cuts. So relaxing
Keep up the good work
Bless Nice 2 part video. Hope you go Oregon more often. You’re living & learning plus having fun. 😊 thanks 😊
I just did a Cottonwood last weekend that was in excess of 50" in diameter...HUGE...my 394xp with a 42" forester bar had a very similar issue in producing an accurate notch. I missed my intended dz by about 5 degrees (trunk also closed hinge and didn't release for me). I did the same exact thing, pull over with a machine while severing the holding fibers.... point of this story...IT HAPPENS TO US ALL!! Don't sweat it, you handled it perfectly. As an arborist, you have to see what MIGHT happen just as much as you see what you WANT to happen...keep hustlin'!!
I just started for myself, 1987 forestry truck 6inch chipper. I definitely understand. Great video.
Great job. Y’all made that look so easy. Thanks for the video. Husky saws are the best.
I work for a small company too. We just work at it til it's done, that's all you can do sometimes. 💪
it is always great to see you do your take down of these huge trees, it is crazy the differences in the
wood types, how some fall easy, while others will not let go! that was a tiny bit of wood holding that
massive tree! that must have beat the heck out of your body!
I like to see you supporting the small companies too. Reminds me of Grimaas’s outfit.
i know what im doing for the next 43mins 😂
Having a massive dump?😂😂
Same
No one got hurt. Nothing was damaged (other than your pride a little =p). Overall a good day. Thanks for sharing.
I like how you rappelled on that rigging rope with a caribeaner. 👍🏻 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Dude… low risk piece, end of day, exhausted. No damage or inconvenient placement… well done. Work on your big tree skills, but no need to beat yourself up. You’re smart and above all, safe. “Live to fight another day, Highlander! “
You’ve done well! Any time things go at least half right is a good thing! Take care, stay safe!
Nice work Jake, thanks for the video. Learn something new 👍.
Still a win. Our failures are our learning experience. We as people would never learn a thing if we did everything right all the time. Love your videos my man.
M goodness, after all you did on that tree yesterday and then when you look up at it today I am amazed at how much there still is to go.
Brilliant job. Well done!☘️👍
When Kayden took the incentive to lift up the saw when it was getting pulled up says a lot. Most kids these days would of stood and stared at it, good on you Kayden.
👌 I spotted that too. That small action would be enough for me to commit to him 🙌
Would HAVE not would of like the illiterate youngsters write.
@@ArmadilloGodzilla thank you for the correction, I quit school in the eighth grade and went to work. So any corrections truly are needed.
So glad someone else noticed that too!
@@joegreenwood1443
Whats wrong with you bro?
You could've continued thru college, received a gender studies degree--and went to work for BLM.
I stand corrected great job, that spruce was really big!!!
I watched part two before commenting, its one fine job that you young men tackled here on that days and time. I tried topping trees in washington state back in the early sixties an after a top barber chaired on me, I was done. Its one of the closest to dying I have come to feel the rope tighten around me and hugging me into that tree at one hundred twenty five feet. A section of haywire is two hundred fifty feet and when its up the tree in the pass block, both ends of that small cable are just touching the ground together so you know your tree you top for logging... called a spar tree, afterwords, you hang blocks and nail the tree plates for the lines to be tied off and made the tree able to be able to hold and the yarder call skid logs to the landing., those lines are called guy lines and usually have one on all four corners if not even more. The top had started to spin on me cause of a hollow heart that I was not aware of. A good tree topper would of known but it was like the third or a couple more. I had started to gain a lot of confidence until that tree split taking all the slack out of my tie line. I knew of men who had died that way and just knew I wasn't cut out to do highclimbing.
Congratulations Great job 👍👏👏. Blessings to you and your family 😊
By far one of your most interesting, especially the end!
Awesome, dude. I'm not scared of heights, but gravity scares the heck out of me.
Super cool, really excellent video very enjoyable to watch. Thanks again .from Minnesota.
Your all a wonderful team to watch your just great don't beat your self up so. 🇬🇧 Uk❤️👍
Man I'm the same way you are every time I drop a tree always learning. Always have nerves and always upset with myself if my cut isn't good. Always learning. I've never done anything that big thats massive
To bad you had to piece it out. That thing would have yielded enough 2×4s to build a decent sized house. Spruce is nice lumber.
Best regards from Indiana.
Killin it !!! Great videos brother. Keep up the content.
love the honesty you do great work
I love how excited he gets when figures out the slash cut
Yeah the decomp buttons are an arm saver for sure, especially on 66 and 88's.
There is just something I love about these videos. Thanks dude, thank you.
Yes he has the CZcams touch.. !! Very good to watch!!
Your bravery is amazing great job
Watching from 🇨🇦
great job and a hard one. Thanks.
Great job Jake! Hard work!
Even with the uneven face cut, it's hard to believe that stick just stopped once the momentum got going.
Good stuff right there! That tree was massive!
Don’t be hard on yourself. You did an amazing job.
You are one BAD ASS TREE 🌳 CUTTER!!!.AND A LITTLE CRAZY 🤪 DOING THAT KIND OF WORK...HOWEVER YOU DID A GREAT JOB 👍 👌.
*Munter Hitch* Jacob is correct about tying off a munter hitch but with a regular climbing rope you need to tie a minimum of 3 half hitches AND clip a carabiner through the loop before clipping the carabiner to anything else just to make sure the rope doesn't get pulled through. What is also REALLY important to know about the Munter Hitch is that you get the most breaking force when the breaking end of the rope is held next to the rope on the weighted side of the hitch. When repelling on a figure 8, your breaking hand is down by your leg and the higher you lift that rope the less friction you have, so it's the exact opposite to the Munter Hitch.
Thanks Jake, nice job. Even though your critical of yourself didn't hit the building with that monster.
You betcha I subscribed to this channel!! Nothing like good hard-working-blue-collar-guys getting it done!!
Hi Jake , really enjoy your channel , started watching when you were cutting on the previous crew , some real big timber out there biggest I get to cut here in the UK is probably up to 24 inch but then it’s not full time for me , if only I had my time again ! Keep up the good work & keep the videos coming 👌
Hey that was an awesome job that normally you don't cut Big trees to fall on that way well what I learned was you cut your undercut and then you cut and stand back and look at it and then cut your top cut and then you'll see what I'm talking about God bless you man keep the good work up
I just came across your channel yesterday and have been watching your videos. I have to say the way you film them they turn out amazing. Don't see many trees that size anymore where I live in Virginia. The tutorial video on how to use a chainsaw was amazing. I learned things I had never heard of. thank you. Really with every video of yours a person learns something. Been looking at the Husqvarna chainsaws for a long time wishing I could afford one. Got 2 trees I need to take down. An English walnut that's not really to big just a lot of limbs. The second one is a huge black walnut that died, and I would guesstimate it being about 3 to 4ft at the base. Unfortunately both my saws are down right now. Thanks again for the great videos and the lessons and information you provide to us in your videos.
Great video 📹 👍 love the action 🎬, the pieces of wood 🪵 sliding off to the ground, just awesome. Great fun to see 👀 😀. Keep up the good work. More power 🔋 💪 to you.
The wedge reduces the surface contact "friction area" by about 80%
Dude that was a top quality log. The way you cut at the base pulled no center fibers. Thats a veneer log.
It's firewood now.....or worse... headed to a dump.
Enjoyed the video. A big tree....a big job for sure. Lots of cutting. Hard working that big a tree. Kuds.
That knot you used to rappel, in Scottish Rock climbing we used to call it an Italian friction hitch other places call it a munter hitch, its a good hitch to practice tying one handed. Its also worth backing up with a prusik below your control hand, another great video
Firefighters use that hitch also as last resort. It is very hard on ropes, too tight curves and high friction.
I'm working at my job and watching a guy do this job! Incredible.
Don't beat yourself up. You did a great job! That was a hugh tree in a tight place. Way to go!!!
You do good work, don't be too hard on yourself. You have many fans, I am one of them. Thanks for the video 📹.
Hey nice job on the tree man My buddy’s and I all think your one of the best on CZcams to watch definitely outstanding work man!! Don’t worry about that backcut- I had that shitty feeling the second the face started to close it was too shallow😂😂 I came from a falling background where a shallow face wasn’t a big deal. I definitely know that shameful feeling my friend, dumping those spars never ever behave like a normal tree. You gotta open them up wide no matter what. Your inner logger hates it but when they “pause” on the hinge like that it’s super unpredictable(and embarrassing)😂😂but keep up the content, we all love coming along for the ride!!
Sweet, perfect for my sunday.
You are one tough dude. WTG!
"Mighty wedge dude!" I thought he was refering to you putting your harness on....😂😂
You did excellent! Those big cuts at base would make a lovely table.
Great to see some young blokes with the arse in gear working hard. Good on ya fella's
Dr. Hingewood...Great name guys !
you are a perfectionist you do a great job always improving👍
Good job! Those cookie cuts are nice for side tables!
That big base could easily be semi round table! Those are massive chunks of spruce! Nicely done! The one guy near you as you were cutting the base had me super nervous! Glad everyone was safe! Nice work Jake!
@GuiltyofTreeson... is this for real? Feels like a scam.
Your partner is so chill.
Homie on the ground sounds sooo high 😂💚
Kinda addicted to your videos. Can't wait to get my new saw and get the 3-point dogs on it! :D
Dude! As a rank amateur, seeing you a professional, have to re cut that notch and tidy it up and have you show it was super awesome! Biggest things is you debriefed on why it hung up, noted and acknowledge it came up with a solution. True professional.
Also the Munter Hitch, that’s how is was taught to lock it of, half hitch on the bite. Also a rank amateur rope runner, so take that 1/8th of a grain of salt.
Jacob, you always do a, FANTASTIC JOB!!! that’s why I put every video that you produce on Facebook & on GETTR MY FRIEND
“Mighty wedge dude” I don’t know why, but that had me laughing for a few minutes 😆
