One thing I've come to really admire about your work is your attention to detail... cleaning up stubs in 99% of dropping a limb doesn't have any measurable difference, but that 1% saves your life

Nice work all around. People don't realize how good for morale speedlining a tree can be too. When everyone is in a groove, it's just a thing of beauty.

Ive been chainsawing for 8 years and climbing for 2. Your videos have been a great inspiration to me, and Ive learned more through your videos and epic camera work on how you do things than I have in the field. Big love from Lyons Oregon!

Thanks for making & posting this limb zip-line video ! I remember watching a fellow zip-line an evergreen using a battery operated saw. He got the canopy all zip-lined down and his battery ran out so he had to finish the tree with a topper chainsaw. I just had to get myself a battery chainsaw. You might get you one for your work. It had a 10" bar and wasn't heavy at all. Much less tiring !

Do you ever realize how awesome you guys are? You've got to be an athlete to climb trees and work the way y'all do. I like all of your safety precautions!

Thanks for the friendly tips and ideas. I used to over think it a lot till I seen your ways

First time I've seen that technique. I'll give it 100% approval and 100% approval for the collar below the cut to keep the tree from splitting. I recall an old movie in the last forties in which a lumberjack was topping a big fir and the tree split which caused the man's chest to be crushed between the tree and his climbing loop. I used my novice terms because I don't know arborist terms.

Dude props to you, I didn’t realize it’s not extremely easy to cut a good notch... you make it look so easy

I really appreciate your editing pace, you narrate really good too.

I don’t know how I found your channel but I have been obsessively watching your content and absolutely love it you guys are doing work I wish I could do but living in southern Arizona there isn’t big enough trees to do what you guys do. My little MS 170 is perfect for the trees out here

I enjoyed watching been climbing for years myself. You are the ones who make it easy just takes years of hard work to get that good. Dying breed

I call this speedlining. Not to be confussed with zip line where people ride the line. Good tutorial

got my first tree job tomorrow and going to try out speedlining. Wish me luck! Thank a lot for the tips

Bravo. Thanks for your video! Love watching your stuff.

I like the way your ground guys made a Y at the end with a prussik and a second line. As the short log steamed into the landing zone, the carabiner was snagged by the Y in the rope, and neither guy was in the bowling lane.

If I may Id like to humbly share something I was lucky enough to learn from... in the interest of us all working efficiently and above all getting home safely. Wont go into too much detail but big tree long day almost finished went a bit too big. Had my groundie holding the line and it pulled him in and the piece very nearly hit him....Im ashamed to say Im sure it would have killed him! I fkd up big time so I now always insist on a belay of the rope at the anchor point then the groundie can stand off-line. Also means you can add tension when you need it or slack to drop the pieces once you clear the obstacles and its much stronger so you can go bigger(provided you have put a back tie in to counter the lateral loading) Nice work mate, stay safe up there boys.

I have enjoyed watching several of your videos now, have been very impressed with your professionalism, skill and attitude. When I saw the base of that tree I thought you were taking a chance, especially after the face cut revealed the degree of internal decomposition. Think it would have been a really good opportunity to show how included trucks form and how little structural integrity they actually have and their inherent dangers....but that may have exposed just how you tight you threaded the needle on that one. Hope you manage to find another example to show good technique and best practice when addressing a large included trunk, I would be very interested in seeing how you approach the next one. Thanks for sharing

Love that the KZfaq subtitles call chainsaw and chipper noise "music & applause".

Very cool to watch you guys work. Never saw that before.

Zip lining branches are awesome! We use to use that technique to get the branches Over a fence or barrier to get it closer to the chipper. Makes it very easy for groundsman .

LOL! Love the "Camera going with piece down the zipline" footage!

So much respect for u guys! Not only a hard job but can b so very dangerous. U guys make it look easy & professional. Thanks for tha videos I've learned a lot. Keep em coming!

Great job. I’ve been watching some of your videos and you guys work fast and efficiently.

Nice i run a porter wrap of the chipper bit of lead. Just helps the arms. Love a zip line no walkin, great vid thanks

Awesome video. Thank you for building my confidence

Nice job. Thanks for taking the time to video and share.

Zipping isn't always practical, but damn it's so fun to do! Nice video, man. 🤘

Good job brother! Love the zip line!

new subscriber....excellent video..I don't get to do much speed line work but its definitely fun to watch 👍👍👍👊

Great work man. Thanks for the knowledge! Love watching your stuff.

Cool brothaa, thanks for sharing your experience, Churr

Very dangerous your job. But I know that you are professional cut tree. No one can do what you do. Thank for sharing your experience and video. Have good day. Good job.

Remember Kinetic energy is E = M v^2. a heavier mass going slower has the same energy as a small mass going faster.

As someone who lives in the desert, this is so cool to watch

Your great thank you. Safe and productive.

Great video. A ropes and rigging video would be awesome. Don’t fumble the bundle!

"Badabing badaboom"

I’m learning a ton from you guys. I’m a lineman in California with a large utility that will remain nameless. If we could get a tree crew on our line clearances with half Of your knowledge it would be awesome! Two questions. I’m trimming my giant cypress trees and want to know if I could zip line branches without much ground help? I was thinking about driving a digging bar in the dirt and clove hitching the zip to it then using a running bowline to the main trunk after it hits a block. I figure I can move the line with the bowline to get to different branches. My dad will be on the ground but he’s 68. Second question how do you guys get the sap off? I have seen Jed with more sap on his hands than I thought humanly possible😂

Great video! If you can I would like to see how you do your rope rigging. I did see some of how you tied it off at the top but maybe a separate video covering that and rope equipment. Thanks for the channel!!

Awesome episode thanks for the lift up into the drop zone 😎 aloha

It has to be very difficult to climb with balls that big!! Well done

Yeah I figure if the sizes are a certain weight that the ground man can hold the piece incoming , but an anchor point and side line to tension would be safer. I've never used this method. I will try it soon

Great job man. Keep it up.

Awesome video brother

Oh yeah, that looks super easy. Think I'll start a business next week....haha

Love the professionalism and advanced rigging you guys always do! Do you take out of state applications?? Lmao 🤣 stay safe and keep up the amazing work!

Great video! Loved the little things you explained that I feel some people never pointed out when showing speed lining. What kinda rope do you use when speed lining like static?

I have seen allot of zip line video's. I do removals part time and there have been times when I could have zip lined. But I don't have a clue what size rope to buy. What length and width?

Thanks! I learned a few things there.

Nice job. Love to speed line.

I've watched a few videos and this is the first I saw Jake without the beard. Didn't recognize until he spoke directly in front of the camera. 😮

Cool channel. Nice skills in the tree. Get a mini skid if you haven’t already. Handier than any piece of gear I own. I haven’t really speed lined a tree since owning one. Be safe.

Thankyou for video. Always wondering how to do that

You guys are amazing... I keep saying to myself...Please be careful....Please be careful...

Do you wear full body harnesses or waist harnesses while climbing?

Your videos kick ass man!! 🤘✌️

What saws are you using? Was that a 361C with a 3/4 wrap handle?

Looks like the jacket on your climbing line is starting to deteriorate. I had one just like it and the jacket just went all to pieces after a few months, never saw anything like it. Sterling sent me some of their Scion to replace it but not impressed. Great vid! I love zip lining.

Those guys are soo big and strong.

Happy to report I got my first chainsaw cut down my first tree today out front. Was fun as heck and smelled really good

15:09 ya know just thinking on it but you could collect a few of those bigger branches on the ground and then anchor the other end of the zip line to them or belay the line thru them and use their mass to keep the line taught as the big ones come down eh ?

good morning brother good Job

I am about to purchase my first speed line kit from wesspur. What is the length of runner is going to be most used? I will eventually have all different lengths but for a beginner where should I start?

5:20 that was super smooth

Where is a good place to buy gear like this. I don’t do it for a living but I’ve helped enough friends and family that I would love to have some of the right gear for safe tree removal

what kind of techniques could you use to make this a method to get trees over ground obstacles such as a house or patio?

What boots are you wearing?

I like the videos. My brother climbs. But uses older gear than yours. I like your rigging.

I'd love to do that...As long as I'm strapped in safely...🤘🏻👍🏻

Great editing & videoing guys..good work zip lining it down too, it's much easier than rigging & dragging .

Outstanding

Nice thanks for the tuto 😄

Anyone else like "damn, would be nice to tap that tree."

hey do you by chance have any info on those blue tooth mics that you use? id be curious too see if i could use these instead of the motorola 2 ways we use

Take a drink everytime he says big and strong

Would you just look at it...ahaha. Good work man, hey what kind of carabiners are you using with that zip line kit?

Great work guys it makes want to come work with you guys ps jonathan

I love this

How u sit in ths tree

“Look how big and strong those guys are!”

Look how easy that is ,mo big deal lmao he says just before the fall lol be safe and never unsure ! God bless

Thank You.

good job

I'm curious about the guys holding the line at the bottom wouldn't it put less stress on them if you had your line in a snatch block connected to something like a pickup hitch. I would think it would still give the climber freedom to move the line but then all the stress would be misdirected into the truck rather then ground guys.

Who's that guy with no beard? Oh sh!t it's jake 2y=s ago...great videos been watching for a while now hope to see u at tcia this year

When you shave your beard does it impede your abilities as an arborist?

lol, Dude, you look way different without a beard... I just shaved mine and I swear I lost ten pounds.

Good job

Badda bing, Badda boom.

Almost didn’t recognize you without your beard.

lthey slow down on the zip line due to increased friction & wind resistance, but mainly friction

Nice technique :-)

I couldnt be around you very Long lol

You make it look so easy! You're so agile. Was your mother scared by a monkey when she was expecting you? Interesting to see you in your pre-beard days.

thanks!

Thought me a lot . Pretty much help make money faster .

The neighbors tree towards the end looked a lot like a monkeys puzzle tree

18:56 So that's how you harvest maple syrup

👋👌

Male sure your guys always are aware of the lines your ropes ,if one gets tangled in a limb and goes into that chipper it will pull you out of the tree or even crush you against it or its limbs or worse case out of the tree and into the chipper and it all happens faster then the blink of an eye ! It has happened to some extent
