Hey I'm Nate! An Adventurer, Explorer, Veteran, Business & Family Man. I served in the Army for 8 years and am now a co-owner of a tree service in Michigan! I am very interested in meeting people of all walks of life, Got a hot tip on a place to visit I'd love to know!
You got it from a trade for a tree job right? I think I remember you said something like that. I needs that! Especially here in tight Chicago backyards/gangways!
@@chrisbjarkman I am and I love it. I'm 100% off cigarettes and vapes. The first month was the hardest but the FuM came in clutch. And just for transparency I used the FuM a year and a half prio to this video. I haven't smoked in 2 years.
@@In-The-Trees I really appreciate your reply and helps me in my decision making process 😉👍🏼 I had a yt channel back in day when I was an ECR moderator for a big UK vape reviewer and for a while I was doing YT reviews on tobacco pipes - a pleasure I still indulge,but rarely. But these vapes. I might as well wear a vape respirator with the amount I vape. I’m active and feel ok but I’m sure the Fum may be a much better option. And I still have something in my hands to fidget with.
Lifts are great for risk mitigation. Some jobs they really work well. Others makes sense to climb. Budget is a huge factor. The spider lifts are great for gettin in those backyards that always seem to have no access. I've ran the lift you're in several times and like that one too.
@@sizemoretreeworks yah I've been using this brand for years, this paird with our avant we can get it just about anywhere. Climbing is fun and all but this thing is absolutely a force multiplayer, we've yet to buy one but I think it's next on our list... that or a bigger loader.
How much is it for you guys out there? Here in Chicago it’s $360 for the day, same model as yours in the video. It’s a game changer that’s for sure! It’s great if your job has the room but here in Chicago the backyards are small so when we get a chance to use one WE DO! Just add it to the price… Much love and respect 🫡
@@Blue_Preen_88 it's close to the same price per day. 100% agree definitely saves the body and speeds up production! Do you own the company? I could see myself making a trip to Chicago to rig so trees down. Lol
Dude buy a bucket truck as soon as you can . I bought a used one a couple years ago it is a game changer. Or back yard lift it's just a bucket truck you can pick up cheaper
I like the fact that you still put out this video. You have articulated, very well, the dilemma we face, more often that persons know. Thank you. Get that lift soon!
Another expense buddy they're expensive depending on what you get but I get worried with the way everything is tree Works going to die down a little bit I hope not for us that's my only income but it scares the crap out of me God bless
I've done some pretty big removals with no rigging at all. I have a truck and 8 ft trailer a chainsaw (455 rancher )handheld leaf blower some chains are come along and a 100 ft half inch rope
@@jeffschroeder9089 right now a 4 lb plum I hung on a 30c. I have come so close to messaging you about one of those 4lb nationals multiple times now. They look wicked! I have a big trip coming up tho so I'm trying to be frugal right now.
I'm based in the UK and we have some different ways of doing things because our laws are different but as a guy just starting out, this video is amazing. I like the slight differences in kit we have where lots of guys over here don't use slings and rings, we just go straight for pulleys and using unions because lots of our trees have smooth bark. Overall it's refreshing to see that even with different practices, our kit is all pretty universal. A note to anyone who sees this that's in the UK or a place where you have a lot more small to medium sized trees, you can easily get away with saving some money on a big saw by buying something like an MS261 or equivalent 50-60cc saw and running up to a 25" bar. I run an 18" on mine and even on big ash trees, I just double-bar the trunks once they're limbed down. Happy cutting everyone, stay safe.
i would just like to add you need a "license" occupational at the least, you also will need a tree removal liability policy and most important workers compensation.... if someone gets killed on your jobsite you will end up in prison don't ask me how i no. outside of that great video.
