Excellent Work Guys, we don't get storms like that here but we do get to work in very big trees, as I am 52 I am a rope man and rarely use access equipment like yourselves, it's just how I was taught when i was a boy and I've been doing that ever since both for Newport Forestry and my own business, enjoyed the vid - keep safe guys
this video is really awesome. the skill and brawn of the arborists are magnificient. this is way above the average joe who wants to cut trees now and then. thanks.
at what point in US's history did every single joe doing a job become "a brave hero of the people"? The hoover dam was built IN TWO YEARS....none of those guys were sitting around talking about "braving the conditions" yada yada. It was "hey! I got some work that don't pay too bad". and that's it. Everyone who works in govt is a "selfless servant", and yet not...more like selfish lazy folks...with thieves the higher up you go. People need to get their asses and heads wired back together.
What are you talking about...lots of people died in the construction of the Hoover dam. The temperatures were 130 degrees from the heat radiating off of the rocks. They did talk about braving the conditions.
The tree cutting in this video is not just average pruning, this is some seriously hazardous stuff. The only difference is they didn't have youtube in the 1930's.
@MatthewBanchero you clearly have no understanding of the english language. nowhere did I say "building the hoover dam was a safe occupation". One is not a "hero" for cutting down a tree. You need to think before you speak.
A person who risks their life to protect others is a hero. Where I'm at there is enough work so that a lot of really sketchy work gets passed on. The heroes step up to take down the seriously hazardous stuff.
@MatthewBanchero: when my son was going through a LONG delivery, I watched the nurses doing their thing and had so mcuh grattitude for their service, I thought that nurses and the like should be the ones getting medals for saving lives, not the military types. To me the guys paintig the bridges and digging the coal and anyone else that is willing to put his life on the line to serve the greater community is a hero, or at least acts heroically.
@MatthewBanchero you are silly. you are a typical jingoist today. are you an arborist? I'm betting yes, and that you see yourself as a "hero", and so are actually being immodest and self-congratulatory. I've dropped trees like those in the vid, and I am not even a pro. I'm not a hero because I dropped a tree, like tens of thousands of men in past generations. It is only in today's sick culture in which REAL heros are spit on, while people demand they are "hero's" for doing their jobs...
@MatthewBanchero I also note you didn't bother to apologize for trying to falsely assign statements to me. Speaks volumes, and is not the stuff of heroes...
@rusliding YA YA YA... only you can say so! It was 102º in full sun that afternoon on the second tree.. I had been doing saunas a few times a week to adjust to the heat and it really works well..
Did you notice that the video is dedicated to Joey Cornell? Funnt you should comment on it now, just after his death..

That is some seriously dangerous tree work!
Wouldn't want to put an inexperienced climber in any of those trees.
Thanks for another great video!
Work safe!
