@@GenerationDown My god people are thick these days 😅

I've been in the business for over 2 decades, and that also caused some anxiety for me, seeing that much tree still overhead.

I could make a naughty joke from your second sentence Cody. ;-) But I shall refrain from doing so to keep the KZfaq gods happy. 😊 This lineman has fantastic skill and shows what experience really means. Very impressive!

@John Ferrari Depends if it what the rest of the world calls a communist or what republicans in ameriaca call communists. Totally different thing.

@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?

The fact that you start talking about people that have come from all the “socialist” countries when talking about communism is enough for me. I’m not for either one but I have done enough research to know that they aren’t any thing close to the same thing. 40 year old man speaking here.

@John Ferrari Well that's enough talking to a rock for me. 🙄 If you are a socialist you are by definition not racist. Equal rights for all means fighting for the underdog. You are a seriously brainwashed indivual.

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!

Same!

Appreciate the recognition. Many look at us as just a regular old lumber jacks destroying forests.

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!

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.

The Rope going up to the top of the tree is to pull the top over from the ground

This was the comment I was looking for lol

You did treeworkers for years huh? Lol! Love it!

Willow creek big foot

Big foot willow creek

I was thinking the same thing

They definitely just shot those arrows to get an easy foot up and then hopped away from treetop to treetop, obviously

Ninja don't shoot arrows

Saw that. Like, wtf.. Them sum big ass arrows Bruh..

Calm down

No, but he is right though! And they are not supposed to be using trees for power poles. They look like they kept it trimmed up though?

That tree ain't no 100 years old karen

As long as its $15/hour and time and a half overtime, with 60 hours a week. Id happily climb a tree and cut it down.

I however, will not be hauling the remains of it out, they can pay somebody stupid for that.

@Lucky The irony of your comment is, we don't even get paid that much. We are classified as "unskilled labor", which keeps us in a lower pay bracket than, say, utility company lineman. I'm not gonna complain though, there are worse jobs

@@1MegaBubble “Unskilled” ?? Jesus! People without skill who try this kind of thing can be maimed or killed very easily. Just in the climbing phase. Never mind after they start the saw. That’s pretty unfair if you ask me.

@@mercoid Yeah, tree workers are #1 in number of fatalities per 1,000 workers every year, or top 2 at least (I think it's fisherman we compete with.) If you do tree work residentially you can make a lot of money, but if you work for a municipality (me) or a utility subcontractor (this guy, from the looks of it), the pay isn't as high as you'd think.

They do actually

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!

You gotta ask yourself, how does my power stay on? It's not magic, people work hard so you can enjoy your right to complain about things you don't understand. Think about that the next time you complain to a tree worker.

In Mexico it’s inevitable

@@eliuloarte993 what part of Mexico are you talking about?those porcelain insulators are not to hold a alive power line,more than like it they are where a tension line started or ended,no electric company in their right mind would use a full of water tree as pole

@@Butchsiek problem is that they dont last. Power poles are treated for rot, natural tress are not...

I was about to say that

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

You know what the video was going to be about, yet you clicked on it even though you knew it was going to bother you? Then you post a dumb question about it? 🤦🏻‍♂️

​@@Noscams00shush

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.

Imagine knowing we have fairly affordable machines that can be remotely controlled that are basically a couple of motors, a latch, some circles with pointed edges for grip and a mounted chainsaw with a spring/hydraulic piston. Really could be done for less than the cost of a proper harness, insurance and you know a single injury not even death. All it do is climb up the tree, do the saw thing and then roll it's ass back down the tree. Remote controlled from a safe distance. It's 2021. Good lord.

safety always comes first👷🏻‍♂️

Ive seen a climber spike his heel with those climbing spikes before. Not a pretty sight.

Its a tree. Nature will make more. Evidently whoever gave you your hippy indoctrination failed to educate you that large specimens in old growth forests stifle the growth of young saplings because of the shade of their canopies. Thinning them allows bigger growth of more trees.

👷🏻‍♂️🌲👍

There are women climbers, and some outwork men pound for pound!

Cucakrawa

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!
