Removing A BIG FIR With ZERO Drop Zone! 

Thanks for telling us how much you are charging for the job, for the ones that can't do what you guys do it puts things in perspective

Randy MUST be fun to work with and he is also very caring. After every wood rig he would ask, "you OK?" I LOVE that. Beautiful team!

I love this work. I'm 70 now. I was doing this work in Anchorage in my teens and 20s. All with spikes and ropes. It was a kick..... Watching you brought back some of my best years. Thanks

I accidentally hit the closed captions and every time the chipper was running it would say "music". Damn right it is! Play on brotha!

You have put together a great fun team! I really enjoy the banter but the seriousness of the work! You’re the only tree removal group I watch! 13:49

I never wood of thought I could spend an hour of my life watching a tree come down. I will say the climb up seemed the scariest, I kept picturing him cutting that rope!

Impressive as hell. When you know, you know. I'm certain the homeowner took a huge sigh of relief after seeing the first pieces come down in a controlled manner.

Hey Jacob, hope you see this. At the end, thanking the boys/complementing them, is so so good. Can literally make someones day!

That single rope with that chain so close gives me heart palpitations haha! Nice work.

The laughter, the smiles the professionalism all at the same time... You really made something special here man. It's been a real pleasure watching you grow and meeting the people you introduce to us. Thank you so much for sharing this snippet of your life, you don't know the effect it has on people, it's good. Life gets really hard sometimes but it's helpful to know that this exists in the world.

idk why i got recommended a tree service company but the editing is phenomenal and was genuinely interested

I’m a home owner. My neighbors helped me cut down two trees . One on my yard and one on hoa property. The person in charge had a log cutting business years ago. Experience sure did help and we were safe. You are da MAN! Love your videos!!!!! Will you be we bring your coffee back?

You , Randy and Kevin are an amazing group of professional arborists your watch in action. Your meticulous attention to detail and safety while working is exemplary! I wish all arborists didn’t work with such extraordinary attention to detail, as all of you do! Always a pleasure to watch you and your associates in action. The quality of the finished product that you consistently turn out, is outstanding!!! You and Randy have a wild sense of humor , which makes your videos all the more enjoyable to watch! Keep up the good work Jacob!

Man, after having a team take out a tree in our backyard and do a half ass job on cleanup, I gotta say props to you for going the extra mile and making sure the yard looks nice when you are done. That's such a big difference to not leave a bunch saw chips behind.

It’s always a fun video when Randy comes along! Y’all do beautiful work! I’m sure the client was pleased!❤❤❤

Randy is great to have around for training purposes. I think the new guys just being able to see ya'll communication style is not just good for the jobs but also the channel.

I really appreciate that you are open about pricing! It’s really helpful to be able to compare my pricing with someone like yourself! You’re killing it. Keep it up and stay safe

All right: Fancy videography, high winds, a drone and Randy’s dog! This video could NOT have been better!❤❤❤

The camera work on this big job was excellent. Great video, thanks.

I did a small oak trimming job once a couple years ago after watching some videos like this and getting some climbing gear. I used only manual tools and managed to get every limb down safely by myself just using pulleys and the belay on my harness. It was by far the most fun I have had doing manual labor, and the thought and planning that went into it all was very satisfying for my autistic brain.

Might be the only 1 hour tree video I have watched and enjoyed every minute 🥰

Guys no one will call you less of a man for using gloves at work, especially in a tree work. Gloves are just a tool like your hardhat or your saw...

so nice to know that im not the only who still gets freaked out rigging tops especially in the wind. Today i was in a big ol" soft maple and it was crazy windy and i felt great until it was time to take the top. my rope guy might not have been as perfect as Randy but he did a damn good job and made me feel 100 times better when all i had left to do was chunk down the firewood and drop the stick! saty safe out there brother your videos keep me going after days like today working entire Sundays knowing theirs a full week ahead of me!

This is a great crew. Always enjoy watching a team work well together, hard to find. God bless

Enjoyed the video. Nice working together. Smooth operation. Limbs down and chipped. Top off and chipped. Chunks down with no damage. Kudos to all! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is amazing how a lot of thinking and set up went through. A lot could go wrong at each step.

Old tree man here. That friction device is awesome. Smooth for the climber.

Just amazing, I was afraid to blink in case I missed anything, awesome job Watching from Alberta,Canada

That was one to be proud of. Great work all around and it didn't look easy

Yes! Randy and his dog are back!

There is a certain laugh that only tree guys know…when the wind picks up a branch and almost hits something…lol it’s like a nervous giggle

A little automotive technology could provide a better breaking system for the logs than the porta wrap or Jail Brake. Both the porta wrap and Jail Brake are using the friction of the rope against the metal as a brake pad. An automotive disk brake connected to a hydraulic cylinder would be attached to the tree. The rope would be wound around a large spool on the disc brake hub. A pipe would apply pressure to the hydraulic cylinder. The pipe would be attached to a rope to keep a safe distance. As the limb was lowered the ground operator would pull on the rope which would vary the pressure on the brake. This would allow the limb to descend rapidly at first and come to a gradual stop. It would take the guess work out of how many wraps to use. The disc would be the braking mechanism, not the rope. It could freewheel at first and easily come to a complete stop, all with very little effort from the ground operator.

Once again amazing work. Safe-Efficient-Effective Operation!! The reason this is my favorite subscription. Keep living the dream.

12:48 I absolutely love heights, best shot. I just can't watch Guilty of Treeson on the big tv in the front room. Mom, dad and sis hate heights can't even handle videos of high places.

Great job! It's always awesome to see Stump! Sending ear scratches and snuggles to him!

Fantastic teamwork & equipment for a fantastic job!!! Congrat's to all!

HAHAHA 'STUMP' What a great name for the dog! XD

I love watching your videos….you are growing your business the right way.

So that go pro gave a pov of what it would look like right before you die falling from a tree

35:16 - lol, that kid looking at you!

Tree climbers are the toughest people I kno . I’ve got a chance to help a few on the jobs and just they way it all works and skill is a great experience. Evryone needs to be in sync to make it happen and when you got good people it’s deff makes job easyer and safer . My hats off to all y’all guys

Randy is slick on that rope

Wish you were down here by me, I'd love for you to take care of our giant tree. Amazing work, not rushing, and taking great care of what you are doing by ensuring everyones always safe.

Great teamwork, great equipment, staying focused, working safely and making your work entertaining!!! Priceless!!! 😊

This video took me back to when I first started watching you back when you were still at Eastside. Tall fir. 4 dudes having a good time. Great video.

Love your videos, and the increasing production value! But i gotta say, Randy takes these videos to the next level. Your calm explanations of what you’re doing interspersed with his quips and humor is absolute gold.

"26 miles an hour, that's about how fast I could run for three hours" ... fantastic! I'll watch for you at the next Olympic Marathon (they only manage 13 mph for two hours!) ... grin! You're all very entertaining and obviously skilled, so great fun watching you. Give Isaac two of those mega leaf blowers and he'll be able to fly up to the top of the tree and put the rigging up there for you!

As a homeowner with a lot of big trees and hearing $5000 for one tree, I think to myself, $200 and just let it fall on the house..................... behind me. 😆

Beautiful job guys great drone footage. Glad your all ok.😊❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Outstanding work as always guys. Worth every penny ❤

I'm impressed. I helped a "topman" (?) once and was impressed with his overview. that was a Popplar overhanging two neighbours. Not as restrictive as this fir. thank you for sharing

These guys are serious professionals. Way to kick @$$, the rest of us are wishing we were part of the Guilty of Treeson team.

I like that you tell us the price once in awhile. Gives us an understanding of what is involved.

Great job everybody - a difficult job made to look efficient and totally neat clean up - home owners need to be very happy about what you and your crew did - u and August a nd VTW are the only crews I keep up with - see you on the next one 🤓👍

Super cool top rig Randy! A ton of work done smooth. Great finished project.

Definitely a sappy day

Love what your doing. Randy is his natural comedic self. Thanks

You guys are amazing to watch. That a tough job made to look easy. Professionals.

Watched in the UK. You guys think you're the A Team! Well you're not. You're the AAA Team. Absolutely amazing to watch. Thank you. ❤

Yes Mandy randy is back baby!!!❤️❤️😎🤘🏻

Jake, you men are a well oiled and very safety conscious team. You rock. I love watching tree work.

One of your best videos. Entertaining and educational.

Great Job Jake ,and Crew. Liked the Rigging in the no drop zone. Randy did an exellent Job on the Ground. That was a narrow passage to the Chipper.

Guilty of seasoned firewood 😂😂😂😂 that's incredible

Excellent job cleaning the roof, now to clean the rain gutter.......(Can't wait for the first rain)

Got a good crew there. Keep on keeping everyone safe. Isaac, go easy on your knees dude. All those high jumps off od things (especially with a backpack blower) are going to catch up to you.

Really great video. Hard conditions for sure. But successful and done to perfection... Drone driver - - - - great job, outstanding views... I see the neighbors coming out to check out the work.

Bro!! The THRASHER sticker on the Ditch Witch!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

always fun to watch the pros work...thanks for another great clip

Hey great job making the video man. Getting the conversation between everyone really makes it awesome. Liked! Subscribed!

I love all the safety communication. Can't take chances.

On sappy trees I'll dip my hands in the sawdust to get rid of the stickiness for a bit. When it's that windy there's probably not any sawdust sitting in your lap tho lol

Great video crew! Be safe!

Jeez, you can only say "Wow!" and "Damn" so many times!! The guy up in the tree, hanging on for dear life, has all my respect!!

What a great operation, but especially your support crew!

Glad to see new vids on the regular now. I learn a lot from them

I’m a lifelong Puget Sounder and maybe only BC people and Redwood California people would know the sheer size of these Doug firs that grow here like weeds. Totally fair since you’re doing clean up too. While these massive firs are beautiful people need to give them space and not crowd the base with decorative gardens. Well done and keep up the great work. Be safe always!. ❤

This was fun to watch how it's done. I love cutting wood as long as my feet are on the ground.

Jake and Randy are such a great team. Love this channel.

Fabulous skills and clean work on a very complicated situation. Very nicely done!

Wow, that was better than going to the ballet. Beautiful skills.

Looking good Jacob! Can’t gag the chipper, that beast is eating just like the saws. Randy’s Ditch Witch is getting it, the new guy is running with both cans filled with saw dust. Well done boys😊

If you put the rope in the portawrap alternating the direction of your wraps each piece that comes down it untwists itself every time and your rope won’t get twisted to were it locks up. If you put it in the same way every time it twists bad.

This felling of This fir was flawless fellas fabulous work ! Top Notch

So I drive a dump truck. We run asphalt millings with our bed down. Most times we don't worry about it, but we always run with the tarp on the bed partially extended to catch anything that might yeet over the cab. It's for safety and ease of cleanup. You could do the same with your dump bed there. By all means, tilt the bed up, but you could also partially extend your auto-tarp out to catch the blow-over.

Impressive work and loved the chainsaw music

Wish the crews on my job site had the teamwork you guys do. From safety to getting the job done, nice work.

Considering the risk and the work, yeah, that's' a fair price. Steep, but fair. Excellent work, and thank you for sharing this! It's good to see professionals at work.

Videography was great, including drone and, rope and rigging close up, with Jake explaining knots and carabiners. I was surprised about heating with douglas fir. I thought fir was too sappy. Not much said about the wood chipper. Maybe you need more time before offering an opinion. The chipper did well on this job I think. Ditch Witch was perfect! Margin for error was about zero on this job. Great work not damaging customer's nicely maintained garden.

Good take down. I enjoyed it.😊

I went to Sappy Supplies and all of my dreams came true!

Amazing job. Super clean.

That was freaking awesome.

I watched you many years ago and just saw this video. Very entertaining and educational, scratches an itch I did not know I had

Guy in the ground is calm and confident. Perfect ground guy. Seems like he knows his shit.

Dude we have an avant 220 and that thing will go anywhere, pick 800 lbs and is so easy on the terrain. I was pretty skeptical before we got it but now i dont see myself ever getting a tracked machine again, I absolutely love the little guy! Lol

Don't know if you're doing this or not, but you'd save hours on the chipper hour meter if you got 4-5 "grab piles" ready with the loader in front of the chipper on the road before turning on the chipper, and then turn it off in between chipping 4-5 bundles. Obviously you've got to deal with running out of room on the road.

Great job guys. The difference between a $1000 Chuck in a truck vs a Stan with a plan.

I dont even make 5k a month, but then again I also dont live on a property that could even remotely fit such a tree. I could instantly tell you are pros, that you love your job, and that you are well worth the cost. Hats off to you!

Randy's husky electric saw running a Stihl bar is the chainsaw version of drinking pepsi out of a coka-cola glass
