Thank you Sir.

Isn’t this a tautline hitch?

that is a lot of extra work and extra time

Great vid.

easy i do this all the time

13 Years later and still the best most informative video on how to do it. It is excellent to listen to a professional actually explain what and why he is doing it.

What was the forces.....

What would be the advantage of schwabich vs this one? If any

Even though the knot is super simple, thanks for sharing good knowledge on an application like this.

Now not staking is better advice.

I love this

HOO-AAH! All the straight dope that I need to remove some hefty maple branches. MEGA-THANX! This 80 y/o still climbin' and cuttin'

I tied my girl up like this naked and she loved it when she was sharing the load between two points of interest.

I would love to see those fiddle blocks down below.

Hey I know this is an older video, but I have recently seen a video of a guy doing this technique which I’m sure he has learned from you all. Thank you for your amazing knowledge of our beautiful industry.

Love watching these safety nerds starting their saws "the proper way" ... no real tree guy does that... real tree guys just pull the cord while holding the saw with one hand..

Brillant!

Is there a risk of splitting/ barber chair due to the lean of the limb?

Two hands on chainsaw at all times, proceeds to make a timid face notch and back cut, doesn’t set the brake…..holds the saw while grabbing branch (that’s a violation) and drags the branch out the shot….still holding the saw! See people here’s the deal, I support safety…..here’s the thing, when I started building 20yrs ago my name was “hurry up” “wood…. kid” I save the other names cause people might get offended, I wasn’t offended, I respected my mentors as they were my elders #1 and they could build! I wanted to learn, so I endured some tough love! To this day these men are my friends/family, they would explain stuff like this……. “Remember kid, we….meaning me and you, we the people decided that people were driving too fast on this certain road so we decided for the safety of the public we need a speed limit, 25mph this road other country road is 45mph……everyone agreed for the safety of the public and that’s the end of the story right”? “Wrong, see we decided the speed limit that DOESNT mean a police officer can now hide behind a tree and use a device to determine if we are speeding” it’s for the safety of the public they say, no it’s about money! Because it’s not the person going 28mph the speed limit was decided for….no one can physically pay attention to a speed while driving a vehicle safely to this regard, you become even more of a hazard….are you watching the road or the dashboard, up down up down, that’s not what the speed limit was intended for! The people agreed that the person going 70mph is a danger to society, so we should make a law that is of best interest to the general public, so this guy don’t hurt anyone, including himself! There’s a big difference between the two, while this video is about tree removal safety, which I could be the person who goes “he broke the law, ticket him” “one hand on the saw at all times, that’s a violation” or I can be the guy who goes “thanks for the information, as we know site conditions and other natural factors come into play that we have no control over, safety comes with responsibility and a good mentor….you must have a skilled teacher/mentor/instructor/father figure teach you the dos and do nots…..exactly the same fundamentals that developed and built this nation! In terms of constructing/building skilled labor terms! Not consulting, planning, policing terms! There’s people who’s “sweat skilled labor do the task at hand…..and there’s 5 others in the office shralping off the top of the builders wage……usury! Unfortunately some won’t understand this ever! And for those that can and truly understand, thank you!

Like playing pool, plan your next buck cut.

ken and rip have the most wholesome romance on television

Thank you so much for sharing

Ok I get it but the faster the better no one makes money taking their time

Isn't your climbing line _always_ a "life line"??🤷🏻‍♂️

Is this guy still with us?

Well presented video. Do you have or us any rope deployment or retrieving devices. Thank you

i like how they speed the ending up and cut it, lol lets see that drop

why isn't the flare of the trunk exposed?

You can do that drop cut on any size limb. I've dropped some big ones. U make your top cut a inch or so behind the bottom cut

I just use a come-along.

Make your upper cut behind the bottom one dumbass

I’m new to this when using a natural crotch should I be using DDRT or SRT climbing?

Great set up! 🔥

You do a great job at describing and explaining 💯

fffffffff good!

Best channel for simple and proper instruction on these knots ! Great Job!

You got to get the gullet ! Be kind my friends

I'm retired from a pretty long tree service career. This guy is worth his weight in gold for teaching proper technique. All of his videos are so well explained. Overall the tree industry has improved tremendously since I started with the various industry tools and gadgets. Very dangerous profession and proper training is key.

I'd like to know where to see the full versions of these videos. Or where can I get them?

Thank you for the great educational content.

Good stuff!

Sheesh, gem of a video 💎 my part-time job bosses will be even more impressed tmrw! Same chainsaw, by the looks. Gotta love boomers. God bless!

Fast forward 8 years and a grapple saw would have that piece on the ground in under a minute with no rigging whatsoever. Progress indeed.

Its all in ya hands. File in not down. Odd time slips up. But really mines sharp an got bita pull which is nice. Guide didnt pull aswell.

Thanks for the tip on using the wedge so my bar does not get pinched when log or tree is under pressure. I just got my peavey today with a built-in stand to help make cutting logs that are on the ground safer and easier.

I recommend this video for tree cutting education to my country Philippines. No arborists here just DIY it really scared for people who don’t have proper and basic technique . Thank you for this video

How old is this video, I see station wagons, big conversion vans . . . . 98 is my prediction

Just getting into knots over past couple of months. Was trying to tie my first Taut Line Hitch last night but I wasn't getting the knot to tighten up really well on a "guy line". So I put an additional wrap after crossing/creating the "bar" and low and behold it looked like a Prusik but knot created in traditional way. What are differences between Taut Line Hitch vs "Prusik Hitch"?? Don't think I created a novel knot. Thx!!

I like the zeppelin, but what are it's advantages over a sheet bend? It's not hard to untie either, since it's the same knot as the bowline, and we know those can be untied after being placed under a heavy load.
