Tips and Tricks for Felling Small Trees around YOUR HOME

okay ready yeah kinda are you ready youtube they serve kinda oh boy he's thinking it through he's trying to find out the psychology of what comes after rock on your second game okay okay let's see i really need to follow this tree okay okay all right oh boy now how are we going to switch it up get it okay you know what's next he's good at this too i usually whoop everybody but like when i get against him i'm like oh man all right all right ready okay wait wait i'm not ready let's see here what's up youtube we're working for this cool old guy there's nothing you can't do if you want to he has a lot of structures around here that he built himself from salvaged wood clearly he's not superstitious and a bunch of little trees to cut little white oaks everything adds up i don't know what kind of video it'll be but it'll be it'll be from us to you if you ever save a jar or change oh it's probably about ten dollars next thing you know it's 75 in that jar fall some little trees [Music] i might do some climbing some pulling things down nothing huge here today i'm going to use the cs355t no retirement home for me i'd rather just die out in the woods somewhere panther 14-inch bar panther chain the world just tears you down man grabs you and thrashes you around i got one foot in this [Music] all world that was the tester this is the setup that norbert has that's heavy that's probably a 20 ouncer pretty heavy old-school stuff [Music] wow um um you're really good at what you do i think that's a little close august i got tips right here no i just you know it was not just perfect i guess that was more to the left but the saw died yeah we had like an inch to spare at least hey because dell and i there was a tree there and it was forked like this wow made a mistake he was i was pulling on it and it somehow hung up a little bit and went right over the top of the roof hit the edge didn't do any damage but yeah you got to really know what you're doing at least it was exciting right yeah it hey it gives me a nervous stomach [Laughter] this is a cool one we're about to do that's probably worth mentioning for somebody who wants to endeavor to pull leaners if they're you know not too huge or if they are but see we got this lean here over the building and what we're going to do is we're going to run this we got a rope right there i'm going to run it really tight back here and we'll show you that process and then we may end up pulling sideways on the rope which compounds pulling power quite a bit i want to make sure i had enough pull space so here's one to learn okay okay oh wow oh what all right yeah so now it's a three to one mechanical advantage to you know what i learned i i had to raise a beam on an out building i put up i got these these these blocks these these wooden blocks from my dad okay i couldn't believe what i could lift with that yeah and when you tie it off down here sucking these two together makes it even that much more tighter than it's like that last yeah yeah so i didn't show it from the side but we've pulled it this way quite a bit with no cuts made yet so then if they pull sideways on the rope it'll be quite a bit more power we'll probably have to do that i think we can do it all right oh we got our inches again classic compensation pulling yeah it'll swing i wonder if we should perfect good enough small trees but the principal's here okay this little guy here going out over the barn and the compensation pole is going to be out this way so that damien can split the difference and land here just short of that barn and between the two [Music] here's what we're talking about on the high stump so if he had cut at ground level then it would have crashed the eaves so it's amazing if you know how long they're going to stretch out you just adjust the stump height to get it to fit and this next one for sure will have to have a it's a little bit taller it'll have to have a higher stump in order to drop in here right now looking at it on the video it looks like a mile away but no it'll reach we reach all the way to here without a high stump and it'll be close with a high stone [Applause] so here's where this one topped out see i was up on the stump in order to get that so big deal right there just twigs but the principle is that high stump saved the slap and the slap when you have a slap on an eve or something people's eyebrows go like that when they're watching just like that you don't want the eyebrow raising so because of those eyebrow raisins i was talking about like we could we can jam this one in there but that canopy will slap both sides of these gutters and um if the guy wanted to slap his gutters he probably wouldn't have called us so believe it or not we have to climb this tiny little thing i mean you have to or me all right i'll do it no i'll do it i'll do it i'll do it jeff will do it today i'd rather climb the thing than follow the thing yeah okay why are we making a video about this job why because it's fun it's fun we're just having fun that's what we've started to do a few years back has just turned it into a fun and then they pay you two so that works [Music] eyebrows jeff just made a cool shot but i didn't film it he dropped that little stem right between these two a little keeper ah oh [Applause] [Music] ah um i want to show you guys a little rope trick homeowner types or people who don't know you can throw the rope get a little bit of weight on the end of the rope go like this a few times see until you have that then take this in in it's called and wrap up the coils like this now you can just tie this off right here by putting it through here see and then going around the whole coil like that then you can throw the rope and use this as a weighted thing so that it comes back down or what we might be able to do this time because it's not a very long throw is we might be able to to throw it like this and then it'll magically uncoil its way back to us after it goes over oh yeah well it would have worked for that little twig what's cool is when you get it back you know you don't have to untie it i guess it's just just something that you could do if you wanted to change your day i don't know [Music] something like that just shave a second or two off the day but it also makes you feel kind of good you know so here's a little knot we use to get a mechanical advantage it's not an alpine butterfly that would be just as good or better but i always use this one that i did commercial fishing i go like this and then on the other side and then one through the middle like that and then i grab the far one and pull it through the first one you see that that little bowline action it's a bowl in principle it's on that principle i'm sure so then that loop allows us to go through [Music] then we can tighten it up really tight and then if we have to we can pull sideways on the rope on stuff like this you don't want to do this if if you need some more you know hurricane power than this but this will work on a lot of stuff you'd be surprised even out in the woods on a big thing you can use these principles [Music] check our fence post survival rate 100 out in youtube land there's a new climber who wants to know how in the world do you trust that little noodly thing up there what do you have to tell him he says he can hang an engine block off that thing he's not right now he's talking about how he has a secondary tie into but yeah over time you just kind of get a feel for different different kind of wood different kind of strength youtube i'm supposed to find trees with red dots when i'm [Music] i'm better with blue because i have a red green color blindness thing so do you see red do you see any red dots on this maybe not i don't know you see any red on that jeff i'm colorblind too oh man get damien here i can see that tell me when you can see it youtube okay i don't see red but i see it a darker shade like it's disturbed right here and i have no idea if the others are painted i can't see any anything odd about them you found some on this one i was right there i looked as hard as i could and now i remember him talking about it was just that one side it's invisible i don't see it it's completely invisible but yeah you don't want this tree i bet you that's some punky junky crappie wood inside i bet the other side too i mean look i think if we put a rope in it and we pull it back this way to kind of fight what it wants to do which is fall on the wire then we can split the difference and go out here in the road with it past that canopy i'll bet you it's a little nerve-wracking because the wood might not be good but you know your rope that's your guy rope is basically making up for that if you have it tight enough so we just used our mechanical advantage trick there to get this real tight just with me and jeff manpower and you can tell we've i don't know if you can tell but we've stood it up some now as we drop it in there through there jeff should be able to kind of follow through by pulling sideways on the rope out this direction and the reason i want him to go this direction when he pulls sideways on the rope is because we're pulling straight back so much that it may be tippy this way so we'll want to get some momentum that way too does this make sense oh so i'm where right now i'm where i i've cut all the holding wood i can i need that wood so don't just keep cutting if you need it for control [Music] so everything i was saying about what we were going to do was what we needed to do so because the tree was back like this okay it was back like that and we pulled it this way which made it a little bit tippy for which way it would go left or right but i've got a bunch of wood here and not very much hair that's holding wood for this direction to offset all of the weight and the reaction that would that it's developed over the years to compensate for weight so there's our shot right there it's kind of cool if you can do stuff like this because if you know you can do it then you save energy climbing and stuff [Applause] well i would be pulling on that i'd force it this way yeah i was a really cool like beginner lesson type place to walk around but this tree behind me we were just talking about it it goes out over the building it'll be close to that corner when it comes by gotta be careful even not to cut the rope on the corner but it's base tied over there tied hard that way and then we'll pull the rope this way yeah i actually think i'm gonna i'm gonna come straight out this way rather than go between so so we just gotta not hit the plum tree wow [Music] wow [Applause] yeah so yeah so it was it was um twig tied up there and so it it came suddenly and uh that was exciting for a second i thought jeff just got like in this random movie just put the work down no but that's our hole that's where we wanted it beside this tree hey i'm longest hanaki it's gonna be a little tight you might have to cut some wood [Applause] foreign alright perfect heart was beating so hard i saw him standing like this his eyebrows were going up and down really fast that should work yeah damien's making fun of my age he gave me a little ladder because i need to cut this pretty high thank you so much a lot of weight over this building okay very small drop zone trees in the way that these trees could give it a push that way it has to somehow squeeze through without getting shoved too hard that way see the canopies are close together over there anyway hey it's gonna be okay right it's gonna be awesome damian says just something i wanna say real quick that limb up there is a joe poker i'm gonna press hard and the reason i want a nice high stump here is to shorten the distance between that big joe pokken limb and that stuff so that we can find a nice little hole for that limb somewhere out there rather than mashing against those trees and shoving it this way toward the building so that's another reason for the high stump it'd be really cool to go cut that limb off and then you know be it'd fit better but with the high stump here it'll be just enough room step step step thank you damian how would you describe that spot i would describe that as perfect cool so shortening up the stump made a home for that limb that kept it from shoving the tree in a bad way off the other trees and of course high stumping it gives us just enough clearance on the fence too okay so me and you rock paper scissors and then the winner of us plays against right okay but then i went opposite he knows that if i decide maybe he knows that i know he knows that i went rock so now he's thinking i'll go paper you're not going to do rock again so he's thinking well but he's singing if yeah he's got some ideas right now yeah do you actually you're just i don't know i kind of go with my instinct on these okay ready yeah kinda are you ready youtube they say kinda they're nervous oh boy just thinking it through he's trying to find out the psychology of what comes after rock on your second game okay okay let's see i really need to follow this tree okay okay all right [Laughter] oh boy now how are we going to switch it up okay you know what's next he's good at this too i usually whoop everybody but like when i get against him i'm like oh man all right ready okay wait wait i'm not ready uh let's see here it acts like there's a strategy let's see i know what i would do you kind of have to feel it a little bit okay i'm ready okay yeah oh shoot you thought he was going [Laughter] because he bought this scissors you both had rock figured he'd do paper i i i no i kind of just tried to to use clairvoyance rather than that's what i tried too yeah i'm like i'm just gonna i'm just gonna try and like channel it into something solid i don't even know what it's gonna be until i didn't literally don't even think i knew it was just me too me too that's about as far left as you can go yeah and not break that thing off i guess it got a little bendy out there it did get a little bendy let's go check out the fence [Laughter] whoops that was perfect yeah it's good it's real good youtube we have a ton of these but i guess we'll show you another one getting uh getting close to the end of it but a lot of little trees were cutting here so this one we've pulled some bow out of it but it was pretty hard over this so no big deal we we got our mechanical advantage thing that we showed you we pulled that tight and then damien will probably end up pulling down on the rope in order to squeeze it in here [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] um yeah there's a lot of uh a lot of limbs pushing on it somebody might be thinking well you just didn't cut enough holding lid well i think it was perfect and pull so youtube about these suspenders they're the best for for any climbing harness that anyone has they're the best we sell them for anything tree mo we sell them specifically to fit the tree motion harness and our own of course but they can be modified to fit any harness if you buy them we have loads of them in stock if you want to buy them can't get a better suspender at first i didn't like having uh weight on my shoulders but it makes a lot more sense to carry that the weight of your gear not just on your waist so i've hammered my back over the ears and now i think i'm working a little bit smarter because of these and because of the harness um yeah i wish i i wish i could have got a really good harness years ago i probably would have done less damage but that sounds complaining so i'm gonna go cut a tree i must say ladies and gentlemen august removal is gonna be interesting things are gonna have to come down fairly small the tie-in is interesting nice he's probably just gonna consider that his tie-in ah [Music] [Music] [Applause] braveheart [Applause] [Music] [Music] well worth the effort see what august does to get these views this is ridiculous of grabbing on and piecing out that little branch so he climbs all the way up to past this tie-in to clamp it onto that little broken hanger [Music] that was an overachiever throw did not need to go that far [Music] hey [Music] yeah you're witnessing it right here youtube here's what they look like hand tossed all the same direction oh yeah i got everything bucked up back there except for the oak one i gotta cut that off but all the everything else is booked up in the stove like you kind of go through buck up everything first and then come back and pile it and yeah i'm just stacking it down here he's got a 192. oh it's a rear handle this one i've had i bought two of them i bought one for me and one for my wife and i she had never run a chainsaw and she's no longer afraid of a chainsaw that's good that's what it is the fear of the thing yeah you've got to any any power equipment i mean i do some stuff that i probably shouldn't do but i'm thinking all the time you are in control oh yeah i mean i see you guys up there that's got you know one slip and you but anyway all right yeah it's not going to do anything we don't make it do yeah it's not going to start on its own that's for sure i've learned that one it's not going to sharpen itself yeah there's no damages anywhere oh no you guys i'll tell you i'm really impressed with you you really do a super job thank you and anybody that needs something done that i run across is not very often i will let them know if you guys are good you don't even need a darn bucket truck you got any final words of advice for my camera well just trust in the lord it's hard ever it's hard to do you but you got to put your trust in the lord just got home and uh kids took off my boots and i know all day today while i was working i kept feeling like this something i was stepping on inside my boot i'm like it's probably a toy maybe it's a twig piece of bark or something all day long so interesting it was this and that's in that fitting that well i was slaying all those trees i was like stepping on a little tree the whole day this was a gift for my 53rd birthday by my daughter
