I rarely ever comment on youtube videos, but wow, amazing video. Don't think iv'e ever sat through an hour video, beautifully done.

The banter between you guys is what makes me miss those long days in construction

27 yrs running saws 17yr climbing The old timers that i learned from always said if you get a bad feeling about the job, tree, site, or the wind dont go up tree or get out of the tree cuz when your nervous thats when accidents are going to happen And that don't go for just three work Anything really Working from ladders, scaffolding on a roof or operating heavy equipment. If it can cause serious injury or death you got to just take a step back Really think about what you're doing and not being a rush. that was some of the best advice i ever got

In the years I have been cutting, This is exactly what it do. Sit, scratch my head (however it might take me 30 minutes instead of 10) and then come up with a plan and execute. I would love to come up there and work with you guys and learn the craft better. Thank you thank you for your contribution to the knowledge of so many. Perhaps you have saved some from death or dismemberment! Excellent content.

I like watching you guys I'm not even in the industry but it's just awesome watching you guys work good job

“Just let somebody else do it “. Great advice. Wise words, Jake.

That little man is way too adorable and instantaneously came over to hug you!!! Ughhh CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!

Watching the beginning: Wow that’s a brutal one “We’ve got our crane” Ah you cheater

You are a true professional and a great teacher. And an awesome editor.

I'm more and more impressed with not only the professionalism, but the team work. Excellent work, fellas.

I am continually impressed with your approach, professionalism, and eye to safety. I have seen to many people doing scary things with saws and trees because they lack the respect for process and project. Keep up the awesome work and really enjoy your videos

Tree fails halfway for no reason Homeowner: lets leave the other half, I like the shade .... ok

Genuinely the same as some of the other comments here, class video bud! First person view on getting this stuff done safely and effectively is epic 💪🏽 Loving the channel all the way from Scotland, UK. 🙌🏽

Professionalism is an art form. It's a pleasure to watch you work.

You nailed it about being careful. Mom always said better safe than sorry. People crying at your funeral isn't fun! 🤕😪

I’ve been on the fence about getting an overhand saw , you just sold me on it . Absolutely awesome work guys . I don’t know how you got in the truck that day, didn’t know the cab was large enough for the balls it takes to this type of extreme work . Hats off and bravo . Amazing work guys

Brilliant, sound advice - one of the biggest dangers is pushing through to "save face". Ego can be a killer. It's amazing how much tension /force can be stored in a 1 - 2 inch branch that's the trigger for a whole cascade of events. I was totally absorbed in this. Thank you so much for your time.

Very impressed with your working method. I am an electrician in UK and always, when presented with a problem, do the simple obvious stuff first. Then work towards the more challenging issues. Like the comment about a cautious approach, bit late when there is a hole in the roof below...……..

I absolutely love watching your videos, im 19 and I've been doing tree work for a year now but your videos always give me some good advice. Love this career path

Just excellent team work, no panics, no shouting, everything under control. Well done team.

@Guilty of Treeson are the SPECIAL FORCES for tree works, big up from Panama

Nicely done. Thanks for telling the pick weight. I have a huge oak limb suspended over a house, rigged and ready to begin cutting and lowering. I would say it is 3/4 the size of that maple top. NO crane here. Just me and some friction, lines and a saw. Just like the maple, this one is broken and just jambed in place. I agree about slow and steady cuts removing all the bits I can until it is as clean and light as possible. Working solo most of the time, I do not hurry. I have good tie in points on healthy trees beside the situation. It is always amazing how different the job looks once you climb up and get right beside it. Nothing looks as big on camera and nothing looks as big from the ground. George.

Bravo gentlemen seen from France. Without being part of it, it's always a pleasure to see you work. Good continuation.

what a great video,i subscibed.i was a brush dragger for 2 years.i actually saved a new guy from going threw the chipper.he had a limb stuck right below his but pulling him towards the chipper,he panicked instead of hitting the bar to stop it or reverse it froze.when i saw what was happening i ran and stopped the teeth from moving.luckily i saw this,he was going to go threw the chipper in about four seconds.so important to let ground guys know all the safety working around a chipper.that was around 30 years ago a green brush bandit.it did have a nice lever which was very quick,to stop the teeth or reverse it

25:15 that’s when the ground crew hates you 😂

The best part of the video was 0:00 to 55:14.

Wish people would realize how dangerous maple trees are. NW native and a contractor. I am seeing every day new developments where they clear cut the strong trees and leave the dangerous rotten "hardwood" trees.

Whooo what absolutely great careful,methodical take out of a scary tree.😱

I started watching a couple years ago and because of that I now work in this business. I love it and thanks!

Jake. As a Navy vet, who had time in helos, seeing you fly on that crane was awesome. I really enjoy watching your thought process as you work through each situation. You describe so well each step. Blessings, and prayers for safety from Ohio!

I gotta say thank you Jake. Your words about being safe and not being embarrassed to walk away from a job if you don’t feel comfortable doing it meant a lot considering I walked away from one today and was beating myself up a bit. Sometimes you just have to accept your limits and make the right choices because there are no minor injuries in tree work. Keep up the great work on these videos! -Patrick

I’m only 13 and I’m getting new gear for Christmas because you inspire me to climb and I want to start my own company as soon as possible.

Spent the entire day working two windblown spruce trees, yet still found the time to enjoy a high quality, educational training video from my buddy Jake. I always learn tons from you like; how to remain cool, calm and collected while working aloft-You have a way with words 👍🏼. What, pray tell, would you have done without that crane! Stay safe! Chainsaws and tree work be dangerous. Great video 💥👌🏼✌🏼🙌🏼💪🏻

Something I learned from an old ironworker who taught me rigging, objects get heavier the further off the ground you lift them. Not literally but I'd rather move 45,000lbs with a tow motor and rams than 450lbs craned though the roof.

I would love if you uploaded much more often, the teamwork between everyone in all the videos I seen is amazing. Keep up the good work, & stay safe.

When working on a sketchy tree I don't want to lanyard into I will hook my lanyard to my saddle with zipties. That way if something were to happen the zipties would break before my friction device slips or rope breaks. Work positioning without a lanyard hanging in midair is tough sometimes.

As an ex utility lineman a dangeroue job good towatch you work methodology and preach safety safety a term we always used was be your bbrothers keeper and we all go home to our families that night. GOOD JOB Larry

Any job I have ever worked on: building, painting, cooking, sewing -- the preliminary has always taken longer than the actual job. That's how you get it done right the first time. It's good to see people who understand this: Any job worth doing is worth doing right. Carry on with how you're doing it. You don't need to apologize. 😊

I just discovered your channel when searching how to fell a tree without dying. The tutorial you did showing the various types of cuts on the spruce trees was very helpful. And now I’m hooked on watching you cut trees, but I practically need a Xanax to ease my anxiety! You guys are brave and funny.

I'm really enjoying your videos Jake. Learning lots about cranes, chainsaws, tree felling, rope work and knots! So much good stuff and way better than mostly everything on TV! I'm also hooked on Peterbilt rotator breakdown recovery trucks channels that recover semi-trucks and car crash messes! Some really great people all across the USA! Greetings and best wishes from New Zealand, David

A time lapse mounted just above the broken maple looking at you whittling away would have been pretty neat to see. Love the videos my dude. Thanks for teaching all us dorks some stuff, haha.

Who needs AX men when you have Guilty Of Treeson.

Bob here from the UK, came across your channel by mistake and now hooked. Forget that its just one person up a tree most of the time and become fully engrossed. Its like I'm up there with him in person. Love the banter between them all. Great viewing and well done, you should be on nat geo or damx and have your own show.

This guy is the best at describing his thought process

great video lads, all done safely and tidy job site after. iv been doing tree work for 25 years and its great to see young people taking their time, being safe and not trying to be the Billy big bollocks by taking chances.

I had no idea chippers would do something that big!

Love your videos. Great to see young knowledgeable, capable people that can teach everyone a thing or two. Thanks for sharing.

Truly remarkable. What a talented crew. Thanks for taking the time to explain every step of the process and to emphasize safety. Nice to have fun while doing such intense work.

Love your work Jake and the videos too. Lots of learning in there! Nice to see the gear you use on each job as well.

Hi from New Zealand. Use to do a bit of tree felling in my early years. Mainly Pinus Radiata, in a new subdivision. A retired farmer showed me the ropes. Too old now (77), but have thoroughly enjoyed your vids.

Just lovin' all these great vids and I cant stop watchin'. Now I always click " LIKE " . . . before I watch . I am learning lots to protect myself. . . this is like going back to school . Thanks Jake !

start to watch...and then have to see it all the way through and very entertaining. You have a great group of videos . keep at it!

Great job, Jake & Team! This is a well-organized video with equipment, safety, education, and inspiration.

Hey man, great advise on sketchy situations 👊 This was a really sic video brother, I was glued to my screen the whole time and I should be working

I recently discovered you channel, and just really enjoy your story telling, tree trimming and the overall feel of your videos. Great work. Subscribed!

Another amazing job safely completed, and no one was stung by the yellow jackets.

I love the cc with the name update each time. The little details

Don’t worry Mr. Treeson, you’ll be a millionaire if your not one already. Your videos are so awesome to watch; just a matter of time until KZfaq puts it on everybody’s feed- not just people that are interested in cutting trees; then you’ll be super rich. What’s counts is a good personality. But money is not everything.

Another great video! You guys make it look so effortless, 100% skilled tradesman. Love the overhead crane shots being from Olympia. Keep it going with the awesome content :)

Excellent cometary & your safety warnings were easily understood thanks for sharing your great job , the tree broke where it did because that was the pressure point from the top of the tree as most of the trunk is in a sheltered area,like putting an oversized sail half way up an undersized mast it’s going to break

Scott doesn't need a nickname. He's just too cool to need one.

Another great video....I always learn something from you and your crew...what ever you do .. don't stop making u tube videos, your a natural at it😁😁😁😁

The way you did was best imagine all that loose stuff falling on the roof our smashing a window.

Amazing test of your safety methods with difficult tree falls. You really know your stuff. Great video guys.💯👍🏾😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

Amazing expertise from all involved! Very impressive and informative.

Awesome work. We all hate those situations, and you dealt with like a consummate pro Arborist! Chapeau!!!

One of the best tree videos I have ever watched.👍👍

Keep the videos coming! Amazing video. I could watch this all day long

Just wanted to say I appreciate your videos and they are really awesome in your very informative it does help every other arborist out here up-and-coming how and what to do at least starting for sure because there is a lot of things you really have to take into account thank you for the videos they're great

Great job I bet the ground crew really loves those 6" peices you cut though lol

Is growing a luxurious beard a prerequisite to becoming an arborist?

Beautiful job! definitely edge-of-seat moment watching that pick!

Great vlog guys much respect from the U.K. first time I am leaving a comment but glad that at the start of the vlog when going through your gear you mentioned about not cutting corners on the equipment and that if like yourself it is a full time job buy the best which is the likes of Stihl of which i buy and as I also cut grass aswell then I also buy Honda mowers so it shows that to be in business costs but once again great vlog and keep em coming

Love your vids ! Ive been a Stihl tech for years, youve got me climbing now...

I have climbed up trees under big pieces like that. I didn't like it but did it anyways. And rigged all that out. Cause I don't have access to a crane. But take it all slow and the main thing is nobody gets hurt. Great job on removing that maple top. Awesome job.

Thank you for the super detailed information,really enjoy all your videos keep them coming happy holidays

i tell ppl if they want to learn how to cut trees to watch these guys , safely doing good work . no fake drama

All these tree cutting sites reminds me of my days working for the local parks&rec- my worst tree cutting day was the day I was cutting what turned out to be a hollow tree- and it slabbed on me-y'all call it barberchairing- it almost hit me in the chest about heart high- scared the crap out of me lmao

You definitely made the right call taking your time being safe with this. If something would go wrong there it would be a very expensive mistake and potentially dangerous.

Just found this channel. Let me see, I’m not disappointed. Love the info, editing, and fun y’all have while working.

Thanks for posting ....very educational . Better to be safe, methodical and professional. Awesome job God bless you all. And I like how you thank and bless your crew

I'm currently learning to climb and wow what a great experience! Can not wait to learn more... great video content and great equipment explaining

Dude the random cuts of your guts talking is awesome keep it up bro 10/10

This channel has been really helpful, you guys are excellent.

I say I am very impressed you all know what you are doing. Safety first always . Thanks for sharing God bless you all.

Speaking of crews and trust. I worked for a landscape company a couple years ago. We were doing snow removal. A new guy , his first night, saved my head, literally. I was moving a massive snowblower onto the back of a pickup, one of the ramps failed, so the snowblower fell back and nearly crushed my head. He stuck his arm out, caught it, left with a bruised arm and dislocated shoulder. If he did not jump in, it would have killed me. Safety is always paramount, especially over pride.

I do heavy construction with similar gear. Except I climb concrete wall forms. One thing I always wanted to do is ride the crane hook. Which is a big no no. You lucky dog. I'm jealous.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate your show and the professionalism! I have a question for you and those are climbers; I'm kind of a safety nut and I like to keep a real good first aid kit handy. Do you ever think about carrying a couple of tourniquets in your ditty bags or on the rigs for that God forbid terrible accident which may happen? I don't climb anymore but I would seriously consider carrying one now that I've gotten older.

Yea buddy , as always good "chainsaw rev"! Lol and quick rundown of current gear are appreciated!

I think the reason the tree snapped is because it was top heavy. You removed a lot of branches and there was still a lot left in the cedar. By the size of the trunk, the branches were too much for it. Any wind would make it snap. My neighbor has been having the problem for a year - has lost about 20 trees. Good job removing it - no damage is always good.

Excellent job and video. Thank you sharing your experience. Well done mate.

safty comes first and what you did was that, well done.

good stuff, jake. props to you and the crew.

Done plenty of those, a bull rope in each tree tie them off, wrap them on the ground. Scariest part is being up there cutting it loose. Just stay as high as possible, try not to pinch the saw. A good tag line in it, to help pull it away from the house as it is lowered. Worked like 10 hurricanes, always dangerous. If you cut the top out of the other tree first ,as it is secured, that will releive pressure against the broken tree.

Outstanding skills and judgement! Good job and be sure to have a very merry Christmas!

Damn there’s a video in this ad

Solved it like a physics problem. Start with what you know, and as you said "take care of the ounces and the pounds will come"

Good job. You could be saving lives. Your level headed cautious respect is a great approach to life.

Did you spray actual bees!? As in bumble bees 😥 Agree with the no 2 tie in rule when you were doing that, common sense prevailed!! 👍🏼

That chipper is a FREAKING BEAST!!!!!!!!!!
