Jake you must at some point come to California and do some Tasmanian blue eucalyptus removals. Big,heavy. And smooth. Sf Bay Area or Santa Cruz . Or better yet go to Tasmania. Love the traveling tree man story.

Those rainbow eucalyptus trees are beautiful! The bark looks so smooth and slick. When a limb hits the ground it makes a distinct “thunk” sound, quite unlike our hardwoods.

The gum tree gets its name from the wads of sap that collect at a injury sight. Used by traditional Australian peoples, ie. Aborigines as a adhesive for making tools etc. There are hundreds of different gum tree (eauculiptus) varieties. That tree would make some great firewood once dried for a couple of years! Cheers and G'day from southern Tasmania!

Scored a piece of eucalyptus butt wood from my Jr. High School shop teacher in the mid sixties, had been sitting for years untouched at the school. Worked on him for a long time and he finally gave in. Took it to the bandsaw to break it down, and promptly the blade started smoking. He sez it had been on for a while and got a new one and changed it out. About three inches into the cut it starts smoking. No one knew that you needed carbide to cut dryer Aussie wood! That is the hardest wood that I’ve seen in my 70 years. Beautiful when finished.

Two things. Tree guys are nuts. That chipper is a BMF. Best regards from Indiana.

I grew up in India and they have eucalyptus trees there. As a little girl my goal in life was to climb every climbable tree I saw. The eucalyptus were a challenge but I was able to shinny up the narrower ones. They are indeed very slippery, coming down was fun LOL!

My family was stationed in Oahu for about a year and a half and I love seeing those rainbow eucalyptus trees. All the trees and plants are amazing in Hawaii. I sure do miss it…

I love the genuine smiles and laughter, man it puts a smile on my face to. Thanks for the videos Jake!!

Good to see you get back to the real work as a groundsman chipping stuff the #2 climber in the tree thoughtfully dropped. Thanks for for Hawaii posts and thanks John. Tough workation really

Should come to Florida and do some big live oaks

17:19 The awkward zoom while sucking on yogurt. Jacob never disappoints. 🤣

Got to love the eucalyptus. Some people really hate them and they have their issues. I bought a house with a half acre and 23 trees, 15 are eucalyptus. There are 5 or 6 species on the property, four are the Blue Gum. When I moved in I knew I had to have at least three trimmed as they hung way over the neighbor's yards. This is when I learned about pollarding and most of my trees had been pollarded and not properly maintained. I really think that's why the previous owner sold the place. The trimming wasn't cheap. Flash forward two years and those three trees have sprouted new branches from the stumps and have grown at least 12 feet and three inches in diameter. This is when I started watching your channel, among others, figuring I needed to learn some maintenance techniques rather than cutting down my trees. I am not cutting down my trees! No I'm not going to be a climbing arborist at 68 but my trees are not so tall that they can't be maintained with good technique and a man lift. I do have a very tall Poplar that I'm going to have to have the professionals come back and take care of though. I'd really like to grow a rainbow on my place.

I love how relaxed they are. At 24:00 the guys are just casually carrying one piece of log out on their shoulder. Nice and easy haha

Great to see you up on some euc's, yeah, the smooth bark is pretty slippery, double wrap your lanyard helps with positioning too. Enjoying the variety that your current direction is taking you, keep at it, appreciate the time and effort you put into the vids.

Glad you had a good experience in Hawaii. We all loved having your here.

job well done fellas! beautiful, eucalyptus tree's are my favourite tree and first time ive seen works done on them. we dont get these in my country so never had opportunity to do any pruning or felling of them, or even seeing one in real life. good job again and stay safe.

Id love to see what you think of some of the Eucalypts we have here in Australia...

I’m Australian we have the most Eucalypt species in the world, we climb smooth Eucalypts every day, it’s definitely a challenge 😅

Stoked on ur vids. hope you keep making them. Always entertaining!🤙🏼

Time for them to get a bucket lift with large low pressure turf tires safe for the sod. Some of those branches look pretty iffy.

We only have Black Gum and Sweet Gum trees in my state so seeing a Rainbow tree was a rare treat- the crew was casual but worked hard - i like the fact that even tho Jacob was done cutting he pitched in and helped the clean up- ive seen other tree cutters just stand around and watched everyone else working and that ain't Kool

Very cool series, great to see the variety of work. Great job Jacob.

Hi John!! this is Gretchen from the Waipahu Post Office. Thanks for letting me know about this video. This is amazing!

i like that Eucalyptus branches are light weight, can easilly carry like 20 ft branch

I live here on the big island nice videos in Hawaii thanks for sharing

Heavy wood for sure. We always called them “You-can-lift-this? Trees”

How much u trimmed and it be annual is mind blowing!! That's equivalent to 10 years of hard maple tree branch growth here on the East coast.

Impressive. You, Hunicke and buckin' are awsome. Thanks for all of your vids.

Love the title! I just keep giggling every time it runs through my head. Haha. Those trees are crazy. I've never seen or heard of them.

those trees are so cool. i didnt even know it was possible

That was a really cool story. Those are amazingly beautiful trees. You did a great job and adapted really well to these trees!

When we (in new Jersey) say gum trees were usually talking about sweet gum trees

Great video! Love your sense of humor!!

Brilliant man you'll have to head over the uk sometime , plenty of challenges and amazing old trees 🤘

Just saw one of these in St Lucia on vacation, had no idea what it was. Really really cool tree and colors…

I wish there were more hours in the day for me to catch up on your old vids, Jake!

i don't live on the eastside, but eucalyptus trees most certainly do grow where you live, Western Washington. they may not be many rainbow versions here, but eucalyptus trees grow quite well here. I pruned a large one in Ballard this past March. keep up the great content!

It was great to follow your trip 🤩

Beautiful trees 👌🤘🤘🤘🤘

Cool tree and thanks for sharing! I have never seen one, even in a video. Eucalyptus on the other hand, I have worked on a few smooth bark species (cameldelensis ?) that are super slick and slippery. Great for DRT.

8 months later I find the comment saying you have a new channel!!! So glad I decided to look at those old video. I’m definitely enjoying the new content, keep up the great work!!

That is one wild tree 🌳. 🤘😎✌️

Saw some of those in Miami Florida on a storm was really cool and amazing that something like that exists

Love the videos man keep up good work stay safe could you do a video on the knots you use

When I first saw this video pop up on my notification feed I got hella confused at the name, now that I'm watching it I completely agree with the title selection lol 🤣 as always you killed it today on the video, can't wait for the weather to get better here in North Western Ontario, finally get to do more climbing practice, may finally be able to remove my groundie title 🤣

Love the videos as always ! If you ever get a chance and fits into the busy schedule a trip down to FL to do some big oaks with Travor Ahern, would be very awesome, if that’s a goal location wise.

One of my favorite trees

An awesome series of videos!!👍👍

Here in Australia there called widow makers due to big limbs falling and killing ppl

Using a captain hook with your foot and knee ascenders helps getting the the end of the Limb. You may know it, but hopefully so one may learn a new trick...

Really great series of videos Jake.

What a beautiful tree. This HI trip has really helped you branch out your horizons. 😂

Beautiful trees

Such a beautiful tree

Visiting Hawaii is on my Bucket List.

August hi, Yes I saw those in 1972 when first there, they were quite different to all eucyliptus , I ever saw, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Cool experience!

17:20 Tree looks like a creepy old guy leering over his shoulder. Best was Uncle looking out for your gopro. Favorite video so far. 🤙🏼

All these amazing remote control machines, I cant believe they dont have cameras to see close up yet, as well as the far away

Cheers mate nice 😊 💪👌👍

That's a dangerous tree man. A lot of gums get referred to as widow makers. And that's just from people walking under them during dry summers in Australia. There's also no better firewood on earth.

You gotta come to Minnesota and do a tall pine there freaking huge man you’d enjoy it

Those gay tree's are very pretty. Also, I think removing your throw weight is very wise when pulling you line back to take another shot. Thanks for sharing Jake, really enjoyed watching this one. I did not know these eucalyptus tree's had an existence🤔😁

Awesome to see you in a gum. Did you you get a chance to climb some royals? They suck lol. Greetings from tropical 🇦🇺

Great stuff! That rainbow eucalyptus is awesome looking. I'm a wood turner and I was thinking, "man, that would make a glorious bowl. Lol" unfortunately it didn't look like the wood had much color... just the... bark? Anyways, I enjoyed the video P.s. I ordered your "Branch Manager" shirt. Can't wait for it to get here!

Yes very interesting 💪

Thanks!

That looked slick but the comments sound like awesome Playlist. I know you just had a new addition so I guess you're enjoying all of that time. Hope to see some new videos soon.

Half of a 2 piece fishing rod with a 1oz sinker works pretty good for me for throwing over limbs. Then tie the tag line to it. I fish a lot so that might have something to do with it.

What an honor. Specail trees. But so are the trees on the pnw

So working holiday when it's winter back home for you

Awesome video!

You need to come to Australia

17:18 *THOE VON VOICE MUST BE THE TREEES BOYEE

Eucalypts are known to have dead limbs drop, and in periods of dry weather big live limbs can go too. In that rope course annual maintenance and assessment is good practice.

I'd love to get some veneers of that rainbow bark! I could make some cool table tops.

Come to Kauai next!

Love your videos mate

Come to Santa Cruz Ca Jake!!! Crazy veriety of species.

Dios los bendiga mis hermano, mis respetos para ustedes 👍 tienen mucha experiencia

I love a good kerf cut

in Mo. there is a tree called red gum

You'll have to have John out to cut down some PNW firs. I'm sure he'd get a kick out of climbing some of those monsters.

Wow, that thing made it look like a twig in the wind

i think here in the Philippines it's what we called "Malabayabas"...if it is, it's wood is one of the hardest... we call it "Malabayabas" because of the look of its trunk looks like a guava tree... guava in Philippines is "Bayabas"

Come on down to Carlsbad New Mexico and climb some sprawling pecan trees.

😂🤣 haven't even watched it yet!

I thought gum trees were sweet gum trees lol...the more you know. The little spike seed pods make for great sling shot ammunition when you're 8...not saying I did that or anything....😁

I just purchased a RR Pro and on my first climb it started creeping like yours was and it freaked me out! It didnt do that at the bottom when I bounce tested it and it acted fine mid line but once I ascented to the top of my rope and was within 3 ft of my canopy anchor it wouldn't hold. I'm not sure if I really want to give it another try. Maybe it's just needs more adjusting idk.

Auto descend mode . . . I think you can just rotate or replace the 'friction axle' or tighten the gap on the bird

Man I don't know how you do that job for a couple days in Hawaii and not think "hmm... I could live here and do this", unless you really love the snow.

I use my drone to put tag line into trees for antennas.

Great video Jake as always question for you buddy I just ordered a pair of the buck light titanium tree gaffs. What is your opinion on them

The blue gum eucalyptus in California are super smooth like that they are difficult to climb

Liquidamber are called Sweet Gum in the Southeast but you probably knew that I reckon.

In South Africa we call Eucalyptus, "Blue Gums." In afrikaans, "Bloekom" pronounced "Blu comm"

We have these everywhere in Miami

So damn cool

IG title was way better hahaha ! LMFAOOO If you know you know!

"I don't wanna brag but, I am the second best climber in this tree" 😂 Bro I'm dead lol
