I really have to point out: there would have been so much bad to say about these fails, but yet, you remain kind and respectful.

Its so easy to sit back and have the "look at these dummies" attitude. I like how he gives ppl the benefit of the doubt. All guys with experience know, sometimes it just doesn't go your way, 1 mistake doesn't make you a dummie, as long as you learn from it. Respect

I am a hobby climber, I bought my gear at a yard sale I do simple work for friends and family ( for free) and on my own properties. I average climbing twice per year. I always watch tree cutting fails before I climb just to get me to be extra careful.

I'm not a professional but I've cut hundreds of trees down. Your video opened my eyes to several potentially dangerous situations, thank you. A large branch fractured and was hanging from a tree in my yard. I put a ladder on the tree two separate times thinking I could cut it and drop it to the ground. I had a rope on it, also. After the second look, I called a professional.

Need to say this...I had a white collar job for nearly 20 years. Worked many hours to get what I wanted in life. Making substantial money until it all ended. Buy-out etc. Lost job. I had to scratch a living so in my late 30's I picked up a saw. This was one of several irons I had in the fire. 13 years have gone by. I began with little to no knowledge and a Poulan "Pro". Now I have all Stihl, silky, Vermeer, buck, petzel, etc. I also have some knowledge. Videos from this channel and others have helped me survive. Both financially and physically. I wouldn't recommended to anyone the direction I took. I put a tree through a house. I had a branch break across my neck. Spinal fluid poured from my nose and ear. I still suffer from the accident. Both of those to incidents were my fault. However, I've avoided many from the information I received from this channel. I have kept my lights on and food on the table and I thank you.

Young man please don't ever change. Your one of the very few fellow tree climbers that I can listen to because your not a arrogant climber and seem to have a humble attitude. It's just been my experience that 90 percent of climbers are met are arrogant and tell people if you don't do it their way its wrong so you are ambreath of fresh air.

Hey Jake! I love your work and videos. Just a suggestion for next time...put the videos full screen so we can get a better look at what's happening in them

Great idea to have a professional comment on tree cutting fails! I've learned a lot from you over the years, but you almost always do everything correctly! Whereas here we can understand what not to do!

I learned a lot from you commenting on the fails and what you have learned as far as bounces and banana trees etc. keep up the good work!

It's a darn miracle if that first dude made it out without messing hisself.

Pretty good dude. I like the educational part, picking apart what actually happened and how to avoid it.

Love your reactions here. I can tell you have experience by how you did not belittle anyone. I would like to see more on the why's & why not's of how you attack future trees. Maybe your editor could add in visual examples of your why not's. Those banana trunks or Y-branches were a good example.

Voted up a bunch of comments highlighting the educational value of this video. Its priceless hearing your reactions for people here to learn. That one big barber chair blowout certainly reinforced getting the heck away from the stump. Fing scary

Man, these videos make my anxiety go bonkers

Good thing about watching these videos is that it makes me appreciate how skilled people like you are and how easily things can go badly wrong when people don't know what they are doing! Several of those people are only still here by chance!

Great content. So happy you're doing so well. Appreciate all of your time!

Yes, please do more videos like this. Keep up the great work, man. Love your videos

Loved the reaction! It was really cool to see you decipher the situation even before it happened.. look forward to more!

I would definitely like more of these, really enjoyed it, Jake. Thank you!

I spit my ice cream out when you said that tree looked like a big churro 😂

Definitely do some more of these types of videos Jacob, its a very serious subject but every now and then we need a light-hearted look at life!

From the 1st videos of Mr. Monkey, you and others.. I now pay much closer attention to bad felling and when I am felling. The details of how you and your fellow arborist/fellers have shared in proper felling is incredible. THANKS

Awwww man! This video was awesome! Thanks for putting this out there, I would totally watch another one.

Would love more of these jake, as an arborist myself these videos really give me a reality check and reminds me of the dangers.

Definitely fun to watch! I wouldn't mind watching more reaction videos from you!

“ you got yo get off these ladders guys” truer words have never been spoken.

100% useful video concept. There is a lot that can be learned watching tasks done correctly. There is also a LOT that can been learned by evaluating mistakes and accidents. Would love to see more of these with the commentary you add. The videos don't have to be overly dramtic fails to be useful learning.

Super entertaining Jacob! Keep doing them!

Really enjoyed this reaction video. With someone like u that knows how to do it the right way, I can see what they done wrong after u explain it and tell the proper way. Would love to see more of these videos. I watch every video so keep up the good work and stay safe

Rest in Heaven Jed, prayers for his family..

This was awesome man, i like having a change of content, plus we learn from mistakes…as long as there is someone guiding us on what went wrong awesome video

Glad to see you at almost a million subs!! Stay safe at the stump!

Your reactions rally show how seasoned of an arborist you are. I rally enjoyed it. Hope you do more

Definitely do more of these, I watch loads of reaction videos, but hearing your reaction is just better 😂.

You know when someone is using a ladder to cut a tree down it’s gonna be a really awesome show grab the popcorn baby ya!!!!!

Love watching your videos. I’ve learned a lot about cutting trees since I started watching your videos. I used to dread cutting down large dead white poplar trees. Now they go down wherever I need them to go down.

Definitely educational. Thanks for doing it!

Loved the reaction video. Love your knowledge. Great video, thanks

10:21 hinge cutting is the term I’ve learned to call this. It’s common practice in deer hunting property management where they want the tree to stay alive and brush out to create a “natural” cover for deer bedding. Typically you’d do it in the early spring, not necessarily the dead of winter. Little fun fact I thought I’d share. Love your videos man 💪🏻

Your inside taught me a lot. Thanks for your explanations.

It just shows how much you know your profession and what not to do, when you're calling out what will happen *before* it happens! Chapeau to you sir. 🫡

I've watched a few tree fail videos, but stopped watching them because I wanted to learn from the mistakes, and that info wasn't there. Thank you for this.

Really enjoyed this video, Enjoy all your videos!

Learned a lot from this! Thank you!

Just found you a few days ago. Liked and subscribed. Love the videos! Very talented arborist. Stay safe and keep the videos coming.

Actually, I have seen most of those! I like how you describe what may have happened to cause the accidents! I have learned so much from your videos. Thanks Jake!

This is the video I really needed today.

Took down a tree with a ladder recently, but took so many friggin' precautions because of what I've seen on this channel. Rigged up a ton of protections to avoid any issues. Still freaked me out, but I think it was a safe operation (regardless of the fact that it was 'successful.') So much respect to ya'll for the work you do. It's not as easy as you make it look.

Ladders! Loved it and yes do more of these. Thanks Ontario Canada

Good Reaction. Fun to watch. Ladders man...one of the most lethal things in the workshop.

Super educational and quite funny. Would love to see more.

that shows what not to do! you are always on the mark! you think about the project before you start and keep it safe! so everyone goes home the same way they arrived.

I enjoyed this video. Do more please!

Congratulations on 1 million!!! You inspire me so much to do tree work and be in the out doors. 2 million incoming.... Keep it up! And thank you!

Awesome videos as always brother!

I like watching fail videos on dangerous things I do ...tree cutting, motorcycling, firearms etc. Better to learn from their mistakes and misfortunes. You explain them well here so we can do just that, so hell yeah! More please. 👍

Fire video! So close to the 1 MIL!!! Keep grinding

Great video man. About to put in my sappy order

Hi Jake please do more vids like this and keep up the awesome work on the others

Please do a few more of these dude quite interesting seeing your point of view on things would be nice to see your saw collection to peace from the 🇬🇧

love the review 😂 iv learned so much from u i run my 029 stihl all year long and and my boys split and sell the wood for their play money🤙 keep em coming

Enjoyed this video. Liked your explanation.

When i saw you made a reacting to another video video, at first I was "man, not you also, these videos are everywhere", but after watching it, you really made it so good an educational, you made it so much better and wholesome by, just beeing you with your amazing personality, combined with you explaining what might have happened is so good, you should really make more of these in the future :) Regars Jes (english is not my first language, so please forgive my terrible writing

seen most of those & enjoyed your reaction

Definitely like and appreciate this video. Good useful knowledge !!!!

Yeah, more of this!

Good for you brother! It is good that you stay humble on critiquing other pros...

That cedar wacked you pretty hard

Nice one as always Jake!

You should do more of these with explanations...great video! :)

I’ve done some pruning off a ladder and thought about some larger trimming but after this…not gonna do it! Great video!

That was fun. Please do more :)

Very Educational. Always healthy to watch some tree fail videos to keep me thinking realistic. Very helpful commentary as well!

So many people underestimate the powers behind trees

Ultimately I’ll watch whatever u post lol. Your videos are aweosme to watch!

Awesome video! Very informational!

Haha a standing churro. Yes man more reaction vids jake. Informative and hilarious

Great video Jake , definitely do more , a lot can be learnt from these videos although they are rather amus 😅

That was good, thanks for taking the time. I'm in SW Washington and do a lot of limbing around my house and I use these as 'what not to do' videos. I have Maple, Hazelnut, English Walnut, Apple, Elderberry, Holly, Hawthorn and the typical shrubs like Camellia, Arborvitae and Juniper. Those combined with the neighbors overgrown Port Orford Cedar, Maple(descendants of my trees), Lilac and Gordonia keep me hella busy. I'm the guy out there on the ladder but I've never been hit. Yet. The 2 worst are the 100 ft Sycamore Maples, they grow faster than weeds and the helicopters spread seeds like wildfire.

Found this educational and entertaining. Thanks for not loading the video with ad breaks also.

Please do more of these

That was actually more education than I thought it would be. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Million subs incoming. Congrats.

I liked it, good learning.

Yeah bro I like the reaction video. Also I enjoyed how you gave informative ways to prevent the things happening in the videos.

13:20 I'm convinced the man never even started his saw. The way he was carrying - and threw - the traffic cones screams 'Too late.'

Love the chuckle when he says this guy must be a fighter lmao! To funny

Great video thumbs up from Australia

This was great.. Helpful too

The only channel i will allow notifications on.. keep it up man.stat safe

that was cool. I would watch more.

that. was. awesome.

Please post more of these.

Loved it thanks again

Reckon u should do few more these videos Jake interesting seeing your take on some these. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Thanks!

I see you are going to hit 1 million subs any day now. Congratulations!

I wish we had someone with a fraction of your competence and skill around here.

Ouch, when that palm started on fire!! SCARY!
