I’m an apprentice plumber, one day I was hanging from a harness over the side of a building to work on the drains, too high for the ladder on the truck to reach. Noticed that an arborist was chilling in a tree watching me work. He yelled and gave me a thumbs up when I looked back to see him eating lunch and watching me work. 20 minutes later, I watched him while eating my lunch in said harness just like he did lol. Cool dudes with a cool job.
@John Ferrari ha, in my 30s actually and not from the US so im not blinded by the republicans was. 😂 You have no idea what a proper communist is do you?
@John Ferrari Because republicans have a lot of padiwacks over "communists" that in 99% of other countries are basically in the middle of the political spectrum. US politics are interesting, much more so than ours. There is a whole world out there, why are you suprised to hear people know about the US?

Most people will never experience the sound and energy you feel when a very large tree is felled and hits the ground. The first few times its an awesome experience.
Ik!! Once I was cutting a thorny tree down, like spikes all over the trunk. I was using a handsaw because I was too young for the chainsaw, but the dang tree fell on my leg and now there is a lot of holes in it. Other then that experience watching a gigantic tree hit the ground is such a surreal experience!
Very few of us men will have the courage to attempt what he did. The ease and skill level of this dude is beyond impressive and that is a very very rare breed my friends.

Yea, I thought so at first also but I believe they are topping it to make a power line pole out of it. So Im assuming those are the lines that need running.
A good climber makes cuts overhead while pruning a tree that no one will ever see, but they make them correctly for tree health and safety, and because they are professionals. Cutting a big top is no different; it's done carefully and with attention to detail -- but the climbers life may be on the line too. I only made the mistake once of leaving too much holding wood in the hinge as the top fell; I learned you stay in there and cut it after the top is committed, or else the energy of the breaking hinge is transferred to the stub (a 60 ft. trunk 3 ft. in diameter like the one in the vid is still a "stub") and you go for a ride. Rookies leave a big hinge, drop the saw (on a lanyard) and hold on to the stub. No need for that of you do it right. Back in the day when the climber used a cross-cut saw, they had little choice; now, with chain saw (a large sharp one), you have time to cut the hinge. Also, with a smaller top with a target at the base of the tree, you can push the butt of the top as it falls and move it quite a bit, as it is nearly weightless for a second or two. Neat trick; save that rhododendron!
It’s not power lines, it’s guide wires to stabilize the tree while it’s being cut. Without something to stabilize the tree it would flex when the top comes off and the guy cutting it would be flung off like he was on a catapult.
i have been in this business for 13 years.... you don't stabilize a tree LOL....people have taken tops out of red wood trees out in California 8x the diameter of this baby pine tree for hundreds of years.
@@ttvilaxell2742 I laughed when I read this!! Ain’t no way someone stabilizing a tree to cut the top out. I’ve never seen it done lol. And yeah I’ve seen and myself done much bigger tops that took me for a ride but that’s the best part! Plus that tree looks super healthy and those pines are strong as hell!

I do tree work from a bucket clearing dead trees and trimming trees around power lines. Cutting tops this big is extremely dangerous, especially without a rope and people on the ground or a truck pulling on it. Glad he didn’t get hurt but all it takes is a gust of wind or something for a top to fall back on someone. Had it happen at my job, pulled a coworker out of the bucket and fucked his knee up. Harness saved his life, he was 65-70 feet in the air and over a power line. Always climb higher and cut smaller tops or use ropes!
Great job. I dropped about 20' from a top of a tree Down on power lines. I was up 100' and dug in where it was about 5" across.. Wind was blowing and the tree and I were sailing 15 ' back and forth. Waited for it to stop fur a second and cut through. It tried to come over backwards on me. Would have hit a house, but I pushed it off to the left. Pulled the lines way down there before coming back at me, finally flipped over the lines to the ground. Blew the flip breaker on the pole about 50' away.
I've never seen that big of a piece drop while the climber is still in the tree, you need to pray that pine tree is in good shape from the roots to the core 😅
I've seen tree trimmers get to complacent. If this tree would have buckled back or the saw kick back he probably would be dead. I'm an electrician and would never straddle two very high voltage power lines Where I worked the buildings had 13,800 volts coming in on lines like that. The power can jump two feet and kill you. I bet that trimmer didn't even check to see what he was dealing with. Other construction workers commenting here might know what OSHA would fine that company for and how much? Not cheap!!
It didn't sway because the cut piece just free fell to the ground. When you see the tree swaying and the climber getting whipped all over the place, it's because they had to tie the section being cut to the trunk of the tree to prevent it from hitting the ground, so when it comes over all that force pulls on the tree.
Also its how the tree is cut. You can see him toss out the first wedge on the backside. If you have never felled a tree you need to cut a wedge out from the direction you want the tree to fall and then you cut on the opposite side and when the moment comes the wedge side becomes the weak side and it falls that way. Now, this guy is clearly very skilled as I did tree work for about 5 years and our climber was good but this guy blows him away!
@@theshadowbehindyou9631 He just cut a notch and made a back cut. I don't think there are many experienced climbers who would have any problem with any part of this if the lines weren't there.
Not getting tired is a plus for safety. The climber can have a groundman send the saw up to him on a rope the climber rigs through a pulley. I would do that hauling an 084; I've climbed with a 066 and 046 clipped to my harness; you get used to it. Those are Stihl saws usually run with 32 to 48 in. bars (higher model number, longer bar); haven't weighed mine, but it gives you an idea. And aligning your spikes to the trunk is all you need; jabbing them in hard carrying a heavy aw will tire you out fast!
Women are more methodical and detailed with most things. I was lucky enough to be a groundy for a female climber and she was on point. She obviously had to prove her self all her life due to misogynistic guys like you..
If you were in the tree industry you’d be disappointed then. We rarely say it and when we do it’s in a joking way haha. Now the “beeeer” you’d hear that often lol

My first real job was for Asplundh Tree. Worked there for 10yrs. I started as a ground man with zero climbing or trimming experience. But within 2yrs I was a 1st class trimmer. When I decided to make a career change, I was a Foreman several times. I ran a R.D. crew, Bucket truck, Spray rig, & even did the Permission man job for a bit. I'm here to tell ya, tree trimming alone is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world!! Then throw in line clearance. Where you was working in close proximity to hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity sometimes. Even a simple service drop to a residential house is like 7200 volts, if I remember correctly. I just kinda giggle when I see comments from peeps saying that they could do it. LoL I have seen MANY A MAN make it about 10/15ft up a tree and get the old knee knocks 🤣😂 sound like a dang woodpecker. Scared to death !! I have topped 100s like that one in my day !! One thing about trimming trees tho. I was in the absolute best shape of my life !! You wanna lose weight??? Go work for a line clearance Co. for a yr or 2 !!! You come back looking like a stud !! 100%
These guys are very brave, i did this when i was young but i always had butterflies in my stomach and some fear when i was up high like that. And yes these guys do not get paid enough.
Humans... we go and put power lines where a tree has been growing for a century and then we kill the tree. Instead of just putting the power lines away from the tree...
I mean obviously they soak those logs with chemicals and what not to keep them preserved but if a healthy tree is there that's young why cut it down to replace with a log thats full of chemicals thats still not going to last as long also there will be spots where that isn't an option but just thought I'd throw that out there
Because trees are alive and move. They do this crazy thing called growing. Then the lines you hung from them can either sag to low or get stretched and break. I've seen communication lines run over driveways with anchors driven in years earlier that got enveloped by the new growth and bark. Ask any arborist or tree worker how mad they get when they hit hardware like nails and such deep inside a trunk?

Great job. I dropped about 20' from a top of a tree Down on power lines. I was up 100' and dug in where it was about 5" across.. Wind was blowing and the tree and I were sailing 15 ' back and forth. Waited for it to stop fur a second and cut through. It tried to come over backwards on me. Would have hit a house, but I pushed it off to the left.
Pulled the lines way down there before coming back at me, finally flipped over the lines to the ground.
Blew the flip breaker on the pole about 50' away.
Ah we need more equality. Women sign up here!
Hey, hey! Why are you running away?
This won’t get the likes it deserves.
I've never seen that big of a piece drop while the climber is still in the tree, you need to pray that pine tree is in good shape from the roots to the core 😅
I've seen tree trimmers get to complacent. If this tree would have buckled back or the saw kick back he probably would be dead. I'm an electrician and would never straddle two very high voltage power lines
Where I worked the buildings had 13,800 volts coming in on lines like that. The power can jump two feet and kill you. I bet that trimmer didn't even check to see what he was dealing with.
Other construction workers commenting here might know what OSHA would fine that company for and how much? Not cheap!!
That's a whole new level of skill. The tree didn't even sway. And a telephone pole was born.
It didn't sway because the cut piece just free fell to the ground. When you see the tree swaying and the climber getting whipped all over the place, it's because they had to tie the section being cut to the trunk of the tree to prevent it from hitting the ground, so when it comes over all that force pulls on the tree.
@@1MegaBubble thank you for the explanation.
Also its how the tree is cut. You can see him toss out the first wedge on the backside.
If you have never felled a tree you need to cut a wedge out from the direction you want the tree to fall and then you cut on the opposite side and when the moment comes the wedge side becomes the weak side and it falls that way.
Now, this guy is clearly very skilled as I did tree work for about 5 years and our climber was good but this guy blows him away!
@@theshadowbehindyou9631
He just cut a notch and made a back cut. I don't think there are many experienced climbers who would have any problem with any part of this if the lines weren't there.
@@1MegaBubble will also wobble pretty good if the people on the ground pulling it have too much pressure on a top this size.
It's time to do some sketchy shit, doo dah doo dah. I hope I get away with it, oh my doo daa day😂😂
Most people don't know what carrying that boat anchor of a saw is like in a tree. This guy does.
Not getting tired is a plus for safety. The climber can have a groundman send the saw up to him on a rope the climber rigs through a pulley. I would do that hauling an 084; I've climbed with a 066 and 046 clipped to my harness; you get used to it.
Those are Stihl saws usually run with 32 to 48 in. bars (higher model number, longer bar); haven't weighed mine, but it gives you an idea.
And aligning your spikes to the trunk is all you need; jabbing them in hard carrying a heavy aw will tire you out fast!
I don’t think you’ll see anyone clamoring for women to be equally represented in jobs like that.
Probably plenty that do though. Saw a Female forrest owner talking about
how more women should become arborists a couple of months ago.
Women are more methodical and detailed with most things. I was lucky enough to be a groundy for a female climber and she was on point. She obviously had to prove her self all her life due to misogynistic guys like you..
Looks like Robin hood tried to knock it down with 3 arrows
That takes balls folks!

Came for the "timbeeeer", left disappointed...
If you were in the tree industry you’d be disappointed then. We rarely say it and when we do it’s in a joking way haha. Now the “beeeer” you’d hear that often lol
Really? I thought is was awesome. He made that dangerous, nerve wrecking cutt, that most men would piss themselves doing, look easy.
He used to be an adventurer like you, until he took an arrow to the tree...
I’ve done lots of line clearing for many different hydro municipalities and man I thought the lines were waaaay closer ahaha nice when u can just fell it 👌
Chainsaw, power lines, and heights all together…no thank you sir!
I demand more women in this line of work, in the name of equality!!!!!
There are women climbers, and some outwork men pound for pound!
That looks like that guy may have done that a time or two before!!!
That was a beautiful cut
I'll get you for that! - Sasquatch.
I HAD A TREE/STUMP REMOVED, AND SOME HEAVY BRANCHES CUT FROM OVER MY HOME. IT COST ME $3000 AND I WAS HAPPY TO PAY IT! LIVING IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, WE ALWAYS HAVE HURRICANE
THREATS, AND I DON'T WANT MY ROOF AND HOME
DESTROYED!

I used to cut 70ft tall trees until one day I fell but luckily I was caught on a power line and it saved my life
Power lines usually don't save you. Can't imagine how terrifying that was. Glad you're OK. Merry Christmas.
@@rickhale4348 it was bs. Merry Christmas too! 😂
@@chewminem2044 haha😂😂
I’m always expecting the worse to happen because of personal experience. Glad when it doesn’t. Thanks for the vid.
My first real job was for Asplundh Tree. Worked there for 10yrs. I started as a ground man with zero climbing or trimming experience. But within 2yrs I was a 1st class trimmer. When I decided to make a career change, I was a Foreman several times. I ran a R.D. crew, Bucket truck, Spray rig, & even did the Permission man job for a bit. I'm here to tell ya, tree trimming alone is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world!! Then throw in line clearance. Where you was working in close proximity to hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity sometimes. Even a simple service drop to a residential house is like 7200 volts, if I remember correctly. I just kinda giggle when I see comments from peeps saying that they could do it. LoL I have seen MANY A MAN make it about 10/15ft up a tree and get the old knee knocks 🤣😂 sound like a dang woodpecker. Scared to death !! I have topped 100s like that one in my day !! One thing about trimming trees tho. I was in the absolute best shape of my life !! You wanna lose weight??? Go work for a line clearance Co. for a yr or 2 !!! You come back looking like a stud !! 100%
Thank you so much men 👷🏻♂️👍👍👍👍

😥 why such a beautiful tree cut. It takes 50+ years for that height tree to grow.
Ya
Cheaper, more environmentally friendly and affective, than truck in equipment or helicopter, to put in power, phone and cable lines..
@@Butchsiek problem is that they dont last. Power poles are treated for rot, natural tress are not...
These guys are very brave, i did this when i was young but i always had butterflies in my stomach and some fear when i was up high like that. And yes these guys do not get paid enough.
Those are shock arrows from the Lynel on Ploymus Mountain above Zoras Domain in BOTW.
Humans... we go and put power lines where a tree has been growing for a century and then we kill the tree. Instead of just putting the power lines away from the tree...
You see, this is why men earn more than women. This is awesome.
Красивое было дерево
I was about to say that
I thought line kill was gonna be the tree hitting a power line and knocking out power to the neighborhood.
I'll show myself out 😎
Too high for me.
I'm scared to even look off the edge of the bed.
I never thought about this till now but why make a wood post for electric wiring when you could just use a tree
I mean obviously they soak those logs with chemicals and what not to keep them preserved but if a healthy tree is there that's young why cut it down to replace with a log thats full of chemicals thats still not going to last as long also there will be spots where that isn't an option but just thought I'd throw that out there
Because trees are alive and move. They do this crazy thing called growing. Then the lines you hung from them can either sag to low or get stretched and break. I've seen communication lines run over driveways with anchors driven in years earlier that got enveloped by the new growth and bark. Ask any arborist or tree worker how mad they get when they hit hardware like nails and such deep inside a trunk?
Because the homeowner gets charged to do it. It's done but not often enough
@@scientificdevil4672 why would the home owner get charged the hydro company trims trees I never heard of them charging homeowners plus the price of hydro doesn't make sense its always high and they can never explain why the charts also make no sense and here in Canada all of our hydro goes through one company its bs its just a money grab
It hurts to see so much of the forest destroyed for what? At what sacrifice

@@johnnypetersen94 That’s a fair comment. You’ll find just got every home on the planet has some form of timber. They are looking into new steel but at the moment timbers to go.
It's not logging dude. It was most likely becoming a hazard.
That was perfect his part of the tree didn't twitch an inch. I wonder if the notch was reversed. Horiz cut on top angle cut on bottom.
I hung siding and did roofs since I was 12 with my dad until mybmid 20s he had me 3 stories up on picks and pump jacks hanging siding 3 stories up on roofs tearing off I never liked heights and never got used to them and found out my dad or uncles never did either they just said faster u get done faster u get down and quicker u learn to not screw things up and always do good job so u don't have to go back up on the really bad ugly high ones lol I give these guys credit and respect them guys in neighbor hoods probably never go higher than 80 ft that's nothing to loggers and other guys
