For those wondering... In case the engine breaks down while he's up, there's no problem. The machine only needs it's engine when going up. It requires just the breaks to get down. You're welcome👍
@@vv7299 then the engine's power will be used less as to cushion the fall Unless both engine failure and brakes failures occurs at the same. In that case RIP and thanks for your contribution to science
We sonsorolese use a rope made by coconut just to climb coconut trees and other trees. We can climb faster and safe. And a lot of excercises at the same time. Imagine if a person had 5 coconut trees for making tuba, a sweet juice which van be cooked thoroughly into a syrup. Imagine 5 coconut trees to climb 5 times in the morning, 5 times at noon time, and 5 times in evenings. Doing this for 365 and 366 days a year. This toned every one's body with strength. 😊
In the Philippines people make tuba or coconut wine by climbing it manually. But I don't know about the rope? Maybe he's from another country?? I never heard of sonsorolese! What? Hahaha.
Normal sight back home in the Caribbean too. Funny thing is there doesn't seem to be many injuries occurring. Pretty sure PPE sales are miniscule there 😂
Back in the early 70s my brother, the brain used to get old lawnmowers Briggs and Stratton. He would take them apart fix them up and reassemble and make mini bikes that would go about 40 miles an hour. He was only 16 years old when he used to do that how he did it I don’t understand, but it worked minibikes and go karts were pretty popular back then.
I did exactly that as a kid. I got my first lawnmower engine at 12 and put it on a mini bike. Over the years, I accumulated 8 mini bikes in my mother's garage and would help the kids in the neighborhood fix theirs. Had a go kart too. In college I studied mechanical engineering at a great school and quickly realized none of the other kids had any hand on experience (like me) but had only gone into the major because they were good at math.
I met a dude in Barbados who, barefoot, climbed a tree, grabbed two coconuts, descended and hacked 'em open with a machete. We were sipping coconut milk before the guy in this vid was back down.
I was going to say what he said. I've seen guys climbing coconut trees on vacations and they're faster than that machine. The advantage is your going to come down with more coconut than the climbers.
47 years ago when i was in Fiji, the locals climbed up the coconut trees with little effort, plucked the coconuts so they'd fall, and then slid down the tree way faster than the machines 👍🤗. And they didn't even need to wear sandals to do it, lol😁😉
I was in Fiji 50 years ago and saw a 12-year-old climb a coconut palm as you described, with no assist devices of any kind - his parents reprimanded him for doing that - kind of dangerous!
@@ishrendon6435 So instead of climbing the tree you need to assemble this around a tree then disassemble it to move to the next tree. It might be easier to just climb the tree.
Meh, I'll stick with spikes. I bet you if he tried pole top rescue, for his first time he would get a 4 minute time in that thing. I got 3 minutes flat my first time even attempting pole top rescue, and my time only improves.
@@boyce5994nice time. I used to train people in pole top rescue for our company. I had my time down to 1:40 on a 40 foot pole but that was 20 years ago. I would actually go up and hang to let the guys lower me so I could help them with tying without yelling at them from the ground and we didn't have a dummy so I was the dummy. Never had to use it but it's great knowledge to have. I did one bucket rescue just because I happened to be right beside him and jumped in his bucket to pull him off the line and get him down. I tried to stay on them about wearing sleeves because we were working in Florida in the dead of summer and some had a bad habit of taking them off. I wasn't watching him when he made contact. I was getting a squeeze on or Crimp it whatever you call them where you are out of my tool tray. I heard it and felt the heat so I dropped in my bucket and the ball of fire rolled over the top of the bucket. He managed to knock out 1.5 million people and live though. From what I figured he leaned over the outside phase and the blanket over the shoe fell off and he bumped his elbow on the concrete pole. It burnt a hole the size of a coke can in his right side across from the belly button and he had a quarter size hole in his elbow. The only thing I could figure happened. If you're still reading wear your sleeves and don't take shortcuts just to get home, to the bar, or your side piece. Stay safe.
I wonder how many people employed the Mulan method? Aka put on drag and use a waist sash.😂 (just kidding, i meant swing a beach towel around it and use it to slide up)
For those wondering, it takes a while to set this contraption up. I've seen native tree climbers go up the same height faster, and do the job, and return to the ground, faster than it takes to set this thing up.
Hey I had six Trees that fell through my daughter's house in a Major Tornado Storm. Please Google WLBT News Channel 3 Jackson woman says divine intervention saved her and her disabled sister's lives
@@Bullzeye1000yds Correction, smart work not hard work. A native climber might be able to climb a few trees faster but he will tire out. This guy will be climbing trees all day without barely breaking a sweat.
An idea could be to use an electric motor and cancel out the loud 2 stroke chainsaw sound and other benefits would be no engine heat, no fuel and oil costs, and no exhaust. Plus youd be able to charge a tool or phone and it could even possibly recharge some of the battery on the way down if you could engineer a regenerative braking mechanism into it. I guess if you went all out it could even be charged by a solar panel when not in use. leave it parked up in a tree with its solar panel towards the sun to charge if it was controllable by a remote. I do understand that maybe all these technologies werent available to this inventor who basically made this gas powered unit from a chainsaw and a lawnmower with a welder, but someone could potentially improve on this mans ingenuity if they were capable of sourcing the parts and constructing an electric version.
@@realhuman8305 I work on trees and if that thing runs out of gas........I guess you have the rest of your life to figure out wat to do but this only works on palm trees not anything else
@Eric-pj2td I looked up this device, it only uses gas to propel you up the tree, it's not using gas to hold you in position. To get down, they release brakes like you would when you repel from a cliff. And it could be redesigned to accommodate other trees, it's built specific for palm trees. But do you realize how many palm trees need to be harvested for the global market? It's not exactly a small margin lol.
There is another invention called HELMET How does he know his blood sugar doesn't make him suddenly faint. Alot of people have undiagnosed hesrt diseases One split second of losing conciousness Also there is another invention called knee cap protection
Sigh, you pull two pins and clips and the side swings open like a door...OK ? You just walk it up to tree, and close safety pin the hinges side, and your ready to go again. It looks crude, and is, this could be soooo refined! Nice idea!
It always trips me out how these dudes wear flip flops to work in. The Philipines thats all you see is flip flops for basketball, construction, carpentry, landscaping its wild!
@@ChubbbbyyyyyyEurope is a cold place so wearing safety gears while working isn't difficult. While, Countries like India have hot and humid climate. So wearing even shoes and doing hard work isn't so easy.
@youngroosevelt38 OK great I'll throw that in the pile of "inventions for not one thing, but one thing of one thing". I'm sure it will catch on like wildfire when Corona needs to stretch out Christmas lights for their "Feliz Navidad" beer commercials.
@@CharlieWaffles972 The combustion engine is very modern, it was invented in the 1820's. Its just that technology advancement is moving so fast. We humans have been around for more than 20000 years and it only been 264 years since the industrial revolution started. we went from traveling by foot and horse to sending cars into space within this small span of time.
in 1998 I watched a man and his pet monkey pick an entire plantation of coconuts in under an hour. before I even received and finished my nasi goreng babi. the monkey only picked and threw down the ripest nuts. ignoring the bad or unripe. easily moved between trees. and rode around on the owners scooter handlebars. like he owned the 2 stroke. the guy/monkey combo did 7-8 plantations a day. did the same plantations every week. and they produced a literal mountain of fresh good coconuts. why farmers paid for the service. I talked to them when they were having their lunch. the monkey got the larger meal. As he did most of the work. I was very impressed and still have the pairs photo.
Some assembly required. And disassembly. Literally every time you use it. And you need to lug it around. With tools and spare parts and a big can of gas. That you have to travel 30 miles to refill.
realmente não é para qualquer um mesmo não, mas se fosse eu jamais confiaria subir num coqueiro desses altos com esses motores, de seguranças duvidosas, porquê que Deus - livre-nos todos de todos os mals, mas se esse motor falhar lá do topo do tronco de qualquer coqueiro alto no mínimo com a queda a vítima ficará paraplégico para sempre em cima de uma cama dependendo de todo mundo pra tudo pro resto da vida,, isso se não morrer logo com a violenta queda isso é só uma suposição, mas jamais não quero que isso não aconteça nem com o pior inimigo, e nem menos pras pessoas até mesmo porquê queda de altura seja lá de árvore, prédios, automóveis, terrestres, aquáticos, ou aéreo e etc, é muito triste e doloroso demais pra vítima desse tipo de acidente mas Deus é mais sempre, e sempre, será mais acima de tudo e acima de todos nós e dos perigos que fazem parte da nossa vida aqui na terra 🌎🌍🌍
@@arushtronaut I actually bike a lot. I'm only 10 miles from work, and traffic congestion is high enough that it doesn't make much of a difference if I ride or drive except getting a workout. I'm just pointing out that there's solutions to the problem of climbing a tree from decades ago, and I don't know why people discount excellent ideas an inventions from the time period. Bikes, after all, have not been improved. They are basically the same exact design they were 50 years ago, but they are made of lighter materials. Bikes are aluminum and carbon fiber now, not steel.
@@siriusness7505 How so? Because you know, coming in here just to say something like that without explaining , is useless. It's like telling people you can fly them just walking away.
He's been doing that for years without the machine, so what's the difference now. Comments such as these are only based on where you're from, and not where you're at. This meaning that some do it with bare feet.
@@kh8641 comments like these are based on the simple fact that not having the right tools can cost you your life. The Indian Subcontinent is no exception to this, since these lack of decent gear and safety culture in general leads to sky high rates of on the job fatalities. Farmers may be used to sprinkle pesticides with shorts and sandals, goldsmiths may be used to smelt gold from nuggets with raw mercury, sewer cleaners may be used to dive in meters of sh1t without PPE, and everybody from fruit pickers, timber workers, construction workers, etc may be used to do their job without the slightest care for progress in methods and equipment, and it might work…. until you become a sad statistic that exactly because of these practices has far bigger chances to exist there than in any place where those precautions are taken.
@@jake91hall the point is, they evolved. squirrels realized they don't need tools because they realized they're vegetarians. So all they need are nuts. We all know what happens in the winter with nuts. Right?
@@mankybrainsNo God designed life, how the molecular worlds builds its self into life forms is the most perfect construction and desighn. Humans at top of there brain emulates that molecular word desighn and functions knowingly or unknowingly every human technology already exists in the molecular world and in the life forms bilt from that. Think of it as comming full circle, did you know there are molecular fully functioning electrical generators in every human cell? Also look into Bacterial molecular motor, as a demonstration that lots of different machines doing many tasks to build and maintain all life forms.
After you chased all the wildlife off with all that noise it might be a little while before you spotted your first deer. Better bring a lunch......And Dinner Too.😁😁😁😁😁
Yeah because humans are TOTALLY the only species that hunts other animals. That’s such an unnatural phenomenon. What kind of savage animal would hunt other animals as a food source?! Hang on . . . My brain just overloaded with the MILLIONS of species that do this. Life is only sacred to humans. It means literally nothing to any other species on the planet. You are in the minority.
Its sad to see all the hate in these comments box.. Something like this made in the west and wrapped nicely in chrome coverings would draw "futuristic", "mindblowing" etc type of reactions.. But then done in an east asian country where the intent is to keep the cost low while addressing a problem on a bigger scale is looked down upon. Btw, i have seen another gentleman who originally came up with this.. sturdy and smoother design as against this i believe.
Brainwashed minds usually do not know how to respond to new advanced in technology from within their own people or other places they do not think highly of. This is why Chinese hire wyt Mon. Keys. to market their products then when you order the product, you see it comes from a factory in China. That is one way they beat those convoluted mindsets hands down but people need to be accommodate of others and realize that creativity is not limited to a particular region unlike opportunities which are only available in some regions only.
Great innovation by villege Indian people without Btech this make farmers easy for pluking tender coconuts goverment must support these people hats off thats Guy❤
The guys who harvest my coconut trees 🌴 here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 can go same distance up the tree in 5 seconds. Definitely going to show them this video 😂
@@linchaynes3824 It's hard to see in the video but it's steel straps not leather. The first half inch of each toe as well as the space between the big toe and pointer toe is completely protected. Standard issue steel strap safety flip flops. No biggie.
