Rigging Down a Huge Cottonwood Tree Near a House 

Thoughtful and systematic! Professional job!

Love the work and the interaction with us while doing it man! Heck of a job !

Great job! You speak to you’re crew so well! Goes a long way!

That was fun to watch. Good comunication with us and even more important with the ground crew. The team works very well together, all in all nice job. Stay safe and thanks for sharing

Nice work....we have some pretty good size cotton wood trees here and they are usually fun jobs....great video....stay safe stay healthy

Enjoy the videos. Keep em coming.

Smooth removal, excellent video. Always admire the fact that someone can get a line set that high up. Stay safe and keep up the great work. 👍🏻

Good job man ! like your humble additude and congrats on company looking good 👍 !!

Nice.😆 Cheers.👍

My second Dream job. Nice work

17:43 "I must be completely underestimating how high I've been all day." I can completely sympathize with that, even though I've never been up in a tree!

Great work, love seeing your channel grow

Great job!

Hey man I just started recording myself in the tree and learning to edit. Watching your videos is very inspiring and encouraging. Keep it up.

Nice job go RIGGING Nice rope work on the ground 👍

Great work buddy good job love your videos

Should definitely think about adding an Alpine Butterfly just above your basal anchor. Makes it super easy to attach another rope to lower a climber in case of an emergency. Great video!

New to your channel. Very much enjoy it. Good work bud!

King of the trees

You seem very comfortable in the spurs, fluid. How long did it take to get used to them, do you think about them and foot placement, or is it second nature now? I’m getting to the point of trusting the tie in point and equipment, I’m having a hard time with the spurs….. Thanks for the videos, they are great for perspective on how things go in the tree.

Good work

If your cutting veers off to one side, try flipping your bar and see if your cut veers off the other way. If it does you bar is likely bent and need straightening

Nice! good job! the only thing I would have your rope guy let it run a little bit more

Do you ever put a tag line to the other ground man on those bigger pieces so they don't swing around so much?

Did you tie a stopper knot at the end of your climbing rope? I've heard stories about climbers getting to the end of their rope and falling off it.

Hi Zach, wondering what your thoughts are on butt tying some of those pieces

Hey bud! Is that drenaline that you use on your akimbo?

Where did you get the hook thats on your belt for the chainsaw ?

From your first video till now, kid your getting good. Bsafe up there. Where are you from bro. I'm in Florida

What ascender do you use! I want to order one! The good old Blake’s friction hitch is getting hard and I want to get into srt

You make it look easy... How do you like the akimbo... Any issues with it..

Those trees smell like cat piss to me. Big tree and well done man🤙🏻

What’s your opinion on that akimbo have you tried any of the other or is that the only one

2 pro tips for you, (been in biz 20 years mean no offence) 1.) to stop violent swinging logs like you had there when rigging, use a tag line opposite to the swing (guy standing around with hands on head could have held that) which eliminates alot of sketchy moments 2.) bar cutting on a curve; take the chain off, and flat file both sides off the bar, when u remove the chain u will feel a thick metal edge, this happens because you dont keep the chain tight all the time, to avoid it, tension chain often. ** last thing, few times you call them cottonwood (your not wrong in every video but for example the one 2 days ago for sure poplar no questions asked) so try hard to not mix them up makes u look more professional** cottonwood bark is the same from the base to the very tip twig, if ever it looks like a poplar anywhere in the tree, its a poplar..... i only know this from 20 years experience and we have a TON of poplar and cottonwood so differentiating the two is key where im from. aside from those minor things, your work is top notch for your age ! just found your channel, very enjoyable to watch, and nice to see young guys doing it right! again no offence was ever meant by this, just a chance to learn :)

Killer 👌
