Hello Jacob. Thank you for this Mayan Rainforest climbing video. We appreciate so much that you and Kevin come with us to this academic trip to the jungle. Also we are very grateful with Arbsession, AllGear and Hamm’s Arborcare. Thanks for you decide to come a share your expertise with us. My students and I are very exited to see this memories about our 2022 trip.

I think I know why Kevin brought you along. You are a good story teller, have a large audience, and a great guy to hang out with. What you and Kevin did for these students will have a long-term impact on their careers and their understanding of canopy biology.

Great video! So awesome! Glad to support those students doing the canopy research. Any time you have students looking in areas that haven't been studied very well, they are bound to find something unique that will hopefully be published for all to learn from.

This might be the coolest video of yours that I have watched, and I have watched a lot of them. Awesome seeing tree work being more than just "tree work". Great job man

Amazing video! Also, as an FYI, the rules vary based on airline and destination, but in this case if you would've sprung for First Class tickets your 1st and 2nd checked bags would've been complimentary and could've been 70 lbs. each!! Then you would've only been paying for the 3rd, 4th and 5th bags. But either way, it was a successful trip!

This is great stuff, Jake. Your dream of telling the stories of tree people around the world is really coming to fruition.

Jake: Your laidback disposition and amiable attitude certainly put you in a special category in my book. Thanks to Kevin for inviting you and all the sponsors and students that made this video Oscar-worthy. Wonderful !!!!! Jimbo from southeast Texas

I’m a Michigander and have been very fortunate to have done tree work in Belize and Columbia. Both were vastly different and wonderful! I’m also 30 yrs old and love watching your content dude. Keep up the great work brother!

You are a good man, Jake; Kevin makes things look easy on a rope, I noticed the body suit he had on. To go and see firsthand beats sitting on the couch any day, I was with you up to the bugs and bees. Teaching others to climb safely all starts on the ground with having good gear and patient instructors. Having sponsors that support your work is over the top, I'm sure the Mayan Rain Forest Climbers will take care of the new gear and put it to good use for many years to come. Stay awesome and safe.

Kevin is an incredible teacher. It was so nice of him to invite you.

Your videos are so professionally done. I think your skills are just amazing. Thanks for all of your amazing documentary’s. Your work is very very appreciated.

Damn this guy has such love for cutting trees, silly idea of touring around cutting trees seems to be working out great, hope it takes you even further, love seeing where you were and where your going, I’ve never even cut a tree down but watch every second of every video of this guy 😂

I'm just blown away. What an amazing stop on your new saga. Congratulation man! You deserve this. Keep up the good work.

This is the most awesome thing ever. Your out there helping students and climbing the trees at the ruins of the inca peoples. You gotta be on top of the world now dude!! Your video production is really really impressive and you definitely have a big fan here mate. Well done!!

Jacob this video is amazing! You and Kevin worked hard but also had a good time. Sorry you got stung by bees but you look no worse for wear. What an adventure ! Thank you for teaching others what you do. When I first started watching your videos you were teaching the difference in the ropes you use to climb and protect yourself. You are a natural born teacher and you are in your element. Can’t wait to see the next video. Glad you are back home safe and sound.

Absolutely a once in a lifetime opportunity for a simple guy from Seattle. Thanks to all the sponsors and Kevin

What an awesome experience Jacob. Something very few people in the world will ever get an opportunity to do. Glad you got to do it and that you brought us these amazing videos.

This video was surreal, what an amazing experience, thank you for sharing it with us. Truly amazing.

Thank you, Jacob, that was awesome, seeing the Myan Rainforest and the Mayan Temples from the treetops was amazing, what a trip.

Amazing video, this is documentary quality. Better than some of the Viceland documentarys I've watched. Keep up the good work!!

What an awesome adventure. Really great seeing another part of the world. Was really nice of Kevin to bring you along for the ride

I don't know what I enjoy more your patience and kindness or your ability to be out of your comfort zone and willing to work and teach don't ever take it for granted I don't even know you and I'm proud of you keep up the good work you're great at what you do you have the motivation to pursue your dreams provide for your family and share with the rest of us that's a lot to be proud of and thankful for

Great trip, thanks to all for putting this together--nice to be able to leave knowledge that will grow.

40:40, Oh my God....haha what a great scare for the students. Fun Video Jacob, Keep it up!

What an awesome experience! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Looking forward to whatever you have planned next.

Awesome adventure...great video...thanks for taking us along for the entire thing Jake!!!

Wow, Guatemala and Mayan ruins - not to mention the special breed of nasties and creepy-crawlies in the trees! You did great Jacob, kudos to you!

Pretty sure OSHA will not be making a surprise appearance.

I was so excited to watch these video, and really thankful both off you for doing such a big helpful for this students, thanks Jacob and Kevin I’m from Guatemala I be follow you Jacob for couple years you make great videos.

Wow! Such an incredible journey you are on. Great video Jacob!

What a great showcasing of a beautiful journey. Keep it up! Also interviews with some of these people! plz

Kevin looks like one of my favorite modern actors....William Defoe. Awesome video Jacob.

Another great video Jacob!! I have been waiting for this one for awhile since I have seen an the teasers on Instagram. You are a great teacher and should consider marketing yourself as an instructor to help new climbers and new tree companies gain the skills to move to the next level.

Just wow Jacob, to see parts of the world I haven't seen before and the different kinds of creatures that came across. Very outstanding to interact and see different kinds culture. Really enjoyed this video.

Now that was a badass adventure. Great job. Both of you...

What an incredible adventure, thanks for sharing with us.

This was an amazing film Jacob! you honestly should have a full fledged reality show or something, what a great adventure to get a glimpse of. Great work!!

You are so awesome with everything that you do. Coming from a climber of 15 years and going. The Florida vids had me laughing as I have a tree service down here in fort myers I loved it keep up the great climbing knowledge and content bubba. Off the limb tree service out 🙏

It’s a whole different world over there! Thanks for the great content!

what a wonderful service, and experience! Kudos

That was freaking rad!! What a wonderful opportunity. Great editing job.

I subscribe to 50+ channels, this video has been one of the best I have seen all year, Thanks Jacob

I seen the short you posted weeks ago of you guys making the gum and have been excited to see this video since that day. Heck, that was back when you'd posted the second video on Norway

Thanks for a great video. I have been to Guatemala twice to do and help with research. The people and the forest there are wonderful. If you think it's hard to get there, try French Guiana. One of the beatles that you had in your hand was a Paslisde beetle, one of the best neotropic workers of that group lived-in Guatemala, he has recently passed away.

Outstanding. Of course you had to flash a fast descent out at the end to a round of applause.

Thanks for bringing us alone! Great adventure!

I love these documentaries

This is absolutely amazing. Well done to all of you. And thank you for educating all of us in this interesting video. God bless.

Awesome videos man, loved every bit if it!

What an incredible experience! Thanks for taking us with you! 👍

Howdy Jake, what an experience getting to work and travel in Guatemala! I was blessed to go on a church mission trip in 1991 to Coban. Totally different experience as Coban is in the highlands of Guatemala. We had a trip planned to go to Quetzaltenango and down into the jungle part of Guatemala to experience the difference in climates. However that part of the trip was canceled, as at that time there was guerrilla activity that made it to dangerous. I wasn't attacked by ants, bees or what appeared to be scarab beetles from the movie the Mummy but did get bitten by some bedbugs. Thanks for documenting and sharing your trip as it as brought back some wonderful memories of the beauty of the people and country of Guatemala. Have A Day! ;~)

Very unique video. Thank you for sharing.

Another brilliant video of an amazing adventure as an arborist, judging by the look on the students faces they enjoyed being part of the experience.

What an Amazing video Jacob!! So cool to see your adventures!! The Bees and Ants I'd be down the tree too!! You never said how the Gum tasted?🤔🤔Great Video!👍🏻👍🏻

What an incredible adventure. Thanks for sharing that.

Hey. You were teaching up a tree. Where was your clipboard, your coffee and the little blue cubes?!? 🤣 Been catching up with your videos. You're something special and this was indeed epic. Hats off.

Bro thank you so much for the visit My beautiful country Guatemala 🇬🇹

Been waiting for this one! Love your videos!

Love the content, pls could you do a video on your everyday climbing setup for cutting tree tops etc and which gear you recommend I'm terms of assecndors etc,Cheers.

Wow climbing in the jungle awesome! Teaching the trade to students who may help change the course of how we care for the jungle awesome! And wow not only see the Mayan pyramids but climb trees around them! Another great trip!

Absolutely amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing all the great content. What an amazing video you all produced. Many thanks to Kevin and all who made this video possible. Such a contrast from all the bickering and squabbling we normally see in the "so called" civilized world. Great content. Thank you all.

man what an adventure ! so nice content you offer us ! thanks !

Love the videos what a tour you been taking us on ❤

Awesome video Jake you look like your having so much fun minus the stings. If you fancy sending one those climbing bags of gear my way I'd love to get one and learn?? 🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

your channel is gonna be a huge utube sensation..unlike anything ive ever seen and as a tree guy myself im gonna follow along for the whole ride..great idea and goes to show when sumone hands u lemons u make lemon aid..

At 34:00. I can sympathize with the bees, ants and beetles. I found the same when climbing trees doing an orchid survey in Fiji near Suva in 1991. Climbing to the tops of both jungle trees and tall trees growing in tidal swamps. Not fun with the ants and bees! However, I did discover 6 new species of orchids and prove a wider distribution of another from the Solomon islands to Fiji 😁😎 Oh and I was only an amateur Orchid grower but worked with a few of the big orchid researchers of Australasia and Pacific. All done with CITES permits and clearances.

Great vid really enjoyed that, top man!!!!

Dang man! That was epic! How awesome you got invited to experience that!

That was awesome, your one of the best, keep up the good work.

😂❤ What an amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing this experience of a lifetime!

Wow!! You just lived out one of my dreams!!!!! Absolutely amazing trup and video, although we didn't get a verdict on the chewing gum 🤔🤣👍👍👍👍

Jacob, can you make a video with tricks and tips on lining up face cuts on a Humboldt cut that would be awesome. Love the channel and content 👍👏

What a wonderful video 📹 from the rain 🌧 forest. So much information about the world 🌎 we don't know 😕 🤔 thanks to you for doing this. You are great American citizens 👏 💙 👍 ❤ 😊.

What an adventure and great opportunity to share knowledge. By the way, how was the gum??

Love it! Please try to slow that camera panning. I watch on a 55' TV and it makes me a little queasy. 🤢. Lol

Lettttssssss goooooooo..... been waiting forever for this trip. 🌲🙂

Great video, of a great adventure with very nice people.

That was a very interesting video thank you Jacob

Nice video. Keep up the good work. Take Care

amazing video bravo 🌳🌳👍

I was in Tikal 25 years ago. it was beautiful. I was on top of all of the big temples...at sunrise with the monkeys screaming back and forth.

Quizás tu mejor video hasta ahora. ¡Bien hecho! Or... Perhaps your best video yet. Well done!

That had to be one of the most satisfying incredible experiences!

The tree keeps going between climbs. I'm laughing because I've watched you for so long I started sharing your video as "check out my friend Jacob" then I have to qualify it as my YT friend 😆

hello friend that my country you leave me your climbing equipment, jokes that you have a good time I hope you have a good time in my country greetings

Seems like a good time!

Shocked you went into the rainforest with a 2WD truck on street tires lol. Ballsy.

What an amazing trip!
