@@MalbackHendrix lol, tree loppers regularly just spur up a tree and tip the head out. I have done 4 just this week. The are honestly some of the easiest jobs. Only difference is that I use a chainsaw. If someone wants to pay me more to do it with an axe and crosscut i gladly would
My Dad's donkey is still in the back 40 with lines still in a tree, unless it's rotted off and fell, I haven't walked up there since the mid 70s. Isn't in the hills above Chilliwack BC Canada.
My twin Uncles, Albert and Clark Dayton were loggers back when it was virgin timberland up in Ashland Wisconsin. I remember when my Dad took us up to Ashland, to visit and site see the tremendous huge floating islands of logs on Lake Superior, waiting to be towed to the saw mills. It is impossible to describe how it looked, it was unbelievable to see such a huge amount of floating logs ready for the saw mills.
Proud to say that my brother and I are arborist's, carrying on the loggin' family tradition out of Southern WA (he owns a tree service on the big island of Hawaii). Uncle has owned his logging company for years with a great reputation. Grandpa would be proud.
Had a buddy over in shelton wa. started out highclimbin for simpson timber co. for 12 dollars day, he passed away at 74 from liver cancer just 5 weeks after his last climbin job
I watched this a couple days ago and had to come back and say that the song in this video has been stuck in my head ever since! I woke up this morning and my first thought was “Let’s go springboard choppinnnn’”. I absolutely LOVE this song and this video as well! Cheers!’
Thanks! It's a very catchy tune! We listened to it a lot on our roadtrip to the World Lumberjack Championships one year! Glad you liked the video, my partner put it all together. Be sure to check out his channel at Wild Axe TV!
@@samuelluria4744 Nope, I own & run a highly successful family Forestry Business here in Oregon. Why do you ask if I’m employed as a Barista? do you need a job again?
Yeah, 🤣 I was just breaking your horns, because you mentioned your Grandfather, and not yourself...which is totally cool and humble, but left you open for a "Portlandia"-type jab... Stay safe! Just stay clear of anybody that smells like a double-caramel-raspberry-mocha-lat'cha'tino!! 😜
Lived and logged out of Gray's Harbor Washington. Third generation. Those were good days. Hard and dangerous work, used to be a saying about fatalities and accidents "a man a day". Still have allot of those old tools Grandpa handed down. I can still smell the shake rats in my mind. EPA came in to our rough and tumble town and shut it down. Still a bunch of gypos still at it though. Towns full of gays and druggies now... Seattle needs to stay home and leave the rest of us alone.
@@kallekilo5978 - Right. Cause there's a way to guage that. My Grandfather came over to Montana from the Basque country and proceeded to bite the nuts off of several thousand sheep....but, there was no record keeping back then, and so his sheep-nut-biting exploits will be forgotten to history....
My niece once asked me if I had a death wish. I retired at 32 from crab fishing /pot cod / salmon tendering, and I joined the Ironworkers Union. I told her 'no, you're thinking of a logger'. Those guys have a dozen ways to get killed, and that's before they even climb a tree !
dont get to see ol Hap much anymore, I heard there was some kind of legal copyright jargon goin on so they removed his coffee break video.Do you know anything about that?
I climbed trees for 20 years....then past year i had a top split and take my climbing loop 50 ft...melted my knot and threw me off....i got really hurt
I would do whatever your climber is doing, for $250/day, and I have ALL my own gear, and I drag brush, shoulder wood, repair equipment, buy cold drinks for the young bums, don't ask anyone else to sharpen my saw, or gas it up.... Too bad I'm in Jersey, competing with hundreds of illegals...
@@jaredmercer7043 we ain’t talking bucket cutters, or suburban yards here cowboy This is the industrial side of what you are imaging (aka logging not suburban tree care)
@@jaredmercer7043 I don’t put anything above two stories down for under 200 bucks That doesn’t include clean up & break down Go get started on your own Didn’t even have ropes or a ladder Made tree house stairs out of a board to climb up my first job for neighbors
Gabriel Moline yes you can I cut a fir down not too long ago that was close to two fifty and over five foot in diameter at the base. I took it at eighty feet to fit it into the lot it was on .
Lorric Logging Well, that is excellent. Good work. As soon as you get them down, the fires will come and take the rest. Just like Brazil and Australia. Looking forward to the entire content of North America to be nothing but smoldering coals and soot and concrete. Just hope I live long enough to see the fear and anguish on the faces of all the humans finally realizing it’s too far gone. Just a few more years.
Gabriel Moline don’t believe the hype, dude, I walk in timber like this occasionally it still exists, and grows back to this height. You are letting the media manipulate you.
We have those two poles guy ed together, so the guy still climbing rocks both poles inter rupting knot tieing for the other person... not like cutting trees, either fully guy them or not at all, I'm thinking... Great work
