very difficult to climb are plain trees,they get covered in slime at certain times of the year,there are few branches for a climber to exploit ,the wood is hard and unforgiving on a climbers body,like in oww where did i get those bruises.
Dan you obviously didn't need to dismantle in the small sections you did as there was a large drop zone and a 200t would of served you better at the top part but hey as long as you made it look good:)
Why use such big saws? no need. 200T and a saw with a 20'' bar would of done it all. over kill i say. also no chin strap on helmet this bad practice now and no first aid kit on harness.other than all that not to bad...
Ex Hackney tree gang supervisor made redundant after 25 years on tree work. seen your tree work in nice safe and in control manner,well done! I love the firewood on the ground one of the perk of the job I use to have.surely miss
I climbed a 30 ft palm today and it was my first time climbing and it was crazy i loved it .made love to anybody that can do this.it made my day.this inspired me aswell bro.
Too many pikeys where we live advertising themselves as so called tree surgeons, i have seen them work damm right dangerous, no safety gear kids picking up the branches right under where they are cutting .
@Nunfluff , Thats amazing to hear that you chose you career path from watching my video, i never imagined it would inspire people. Just get up trees at every opportunity (even if you know it'll take you longer than others or if its beyond what you've done before) in this business its experience that counts as long as you have a good mentor. Work safe and enjoy yourself.
@DanHolliday83 Yee man, same! I've just done my CS30 - 31, and am hoping to get my up-in-the-tree course done over the next couple of months. It's so much fun! I love climbing rock and tree anyway and to add chainsawing to that just makes it awesome!
@Nunfluff ...... how did you manage to start as a tree surgeon. (e.g. college, courses, work), Just asking because i am planning to take the same career path
@96sheepy I applied for a apprenticeship with all my local firms, I was lucky enough for one of them to take me on. I would recommend doing the same because its good to see what the job is like first hand before you do your courses, my boss even told me in the past he took someone on who done half of there courses at college but when he starting doing the job he diden't like it and quit. Hope this helps.
above a nice lawn you need to lower slowly or be so talented as to have the piece land flat. No divot that way. That is when u have it down cold. I llove what I do. always looking to improve.
I have been working on educational videos for arboriculture that I hope you may find useful in your training programs. search for Arborist Blair Glenn at YouTube and you will find me.
Hi Dan very nice video! been climbing for 2 years now collecting trees under my harness and stories from up high, trained in Myerscough preston, based in south Manchester always looking for more work mate ! message me on here if your short on men, Cheers Arran
I'm thinking of gettin into it as well looks quite cool not bad climber either, just wondering if you need to get an apprenticeship or something? or do you just get basic training through a company? or what courses do you need to do?
@tommynakagima Where you sexually abused as a child? Or are you just a keyboard warrior? You seem to enjoy trying to put other people down & make yourself feel better. It obviously hasn't worked here. I can guarantee this guy Dan Holliday knows more about tree work than you will ever, Ever know!
Listen neil, I was felling big beech trees in Bagdad when this Dan Holiday guy was in his dads bag, lookin at the vid he lives up to his name and acts like he is on holiday, lucky he's not on peace time
@tommynakagima Keyboard warrior? I think you mean gangster, and no i am not a keyboard gangster either. When you can spell properly and use proper words when trying to insult me then i might take notice. Are you in Dan's supporters club? You are clearly a bigger retard than you are letting on, he was using a stupidly big ground saw up the tree knocking the first head out, which was a fair size considering the rest of the sections.
Wonderful work and great video. You have excellent saw control and technique and you SHOULD be producing instructional videos for arborists the world round. Also.. you have some sweet equipment. You seem to share one of my philosophies... and that is " work smart not hard" and their is always an easy or easier way to do it.

very very good video and nice chainsaw´s , it´s a very big tree , nice . i want to climbing at trees wen i was 10 and i bought my now a climbing set it´s a biautivul work.
great vid dude, i'm likely to be taking a tree surgery course in merristwood college, guildford very soon. watching this makes it a very daunting prospect. but obviously you have years experience. they wouldnt expect you to climb a huge beech in your first job :)
do you know has there been many accidents in this profession? or is it only the cowboys who injure themselves or worse?
I have total respect for someone with this level of skill, experience, and tenacity. I'm a "weekend warrior" arborist, and enjoy anything related to landscaping and tree surgery. Thanks for helping me learn from your good example: I watch and learn and then attempt to put those skills into practice. Great job!
hi dan,doing c30 c31,good to watch a real expert,i have been told my partner 35cc,is a piss take,but i said size does not count,its how you use it,be good for your expert advise,keep cutting your the man,if your in west sussex be good to do some training with you,regards dan,pat
nice follow through cuts....its good to have a machine for pulling.... personally, I never stop my cuts to signal.. my men know by a nod when to apply pressure. When I fell big tops, I cant spare the extra seconds it takes when there could be a wind, or gust....
@abn831 good eye, but with the bigger saw it looks like he waits to yell pull to his groundman, and has it pulled out before that.... maybe doesnt want to chance dropped his 50 pound saw lol.
@johndeer7030 Hey mate, I've been in the industry for 8 yrs and really enjoyed it, the money is only really decent for good climbers or if you can start up your own business. To become a decent climber it a couple of years of constant climbing doing a wide range of work.
@johndeer7030 I did ten years in the industry up here in Canada. My advice to people who want to "get in" to the business?.......Put a 45 in your mouth instead. You're welcome.
Correct me if I'm wrong but thought you should also be using a second point of attachment, even when using steel lanyards according to the new guidelines? But I'd definetly get get a smaller bar for your 880 as well or if you can afford a 660.
Dunno about where he's at..we aren't allowed to use steel lanyards anymore. I'm in Florida though. We don't have thousands of trees the size of the ones he's on.. Needless to say, we're supposed to have two lanyards on at all times while climbing.
Nice to see a proper English tree and you had great weather to take her down in aswell. The trees down here in Australia allways look half dead compared to back home. This vids enough to make a climber home sick. haha
Haha i know what u mean dude with all the gums, i'm doing the same as u, i came out to Oz and been working since december in north Syd. God damn palm trees piss me off.
I know what you mean about palms mate. If you work in Northern QLD or the Northern territory the place is rammed with palms, green ants and stupidly humid! needless to say i did 6 months in the Territory and did one. Im down in Mandurah in WA now. A million times nicer working here.
Im assuming he is using somewhere around the ms310 18-20 inch bar , now only reason i could reason I can think of for why hes packing such a big guy up there would be beech is a hard wood if i can remember so to save time with the struggle you gotta work a little harder. Just Guessing.
Just because you took it down in so many sections doesnt make it a big tree, and your choice of saw?!? I could have done a whole lot of that with my ms200t and 357xp with 14 and 15 inch bars
@TalbotFanMan really! i mean really! i've been in the industry for 10 yrs and that is in the big tree range. what are you trying to be a hero or something!geez. if that isn't a big tree your eyes aint working
@gpartrt Sorry, clearly my eyes are not working correctly or i would have noticed there was a bit of sledge hammer breaking a peanut going on. Seriosly, a 125cc saw with 48 inch bar?!? on the last section maybe. why such a big saw to start with up the tree? why such small sections after knocking the last to tops out? I think you are just looking for an arguement. 10 years you say? All one a fuck when you talk shit.
Easy gentleman, i am an arborists myself and Dan i must say thank you for your video, 88 or 44 whatever.. were you comfortable? yes i bet .. keep on and be safe and men thats all that matters
nothing wrong with using an 88 in a tree if you can handle it, the extra power is good to have. You make the top cut of the face first which is good. I think you could have gotten away with cutting the faces a bit shallower, using the pull line... only real criticism is making all those small snap cuts with the 36. Waste of time. if you had room to drop the big logs, you could have cut them a lot bigger and saved time and energy. When you get older, saving energy becomes huge. BIG Tree nice work
we all have our personel preferences to saw sizes. I use a much smaller saw due to weight issues in the tree. Very Nicely done!!! Highly respectable line of work.
Well done, but unless you havent anything smaller than an 88 your showboating for the camera using it when a smaller saw would save your back, increase your speed and be safer to use. Ah but the ego of us arborists when the camera is on makes us do stupid things. I only climb with an 88 when NOTHING else will work, hate the thing but lighter than my 090! Great job!
Fair comment bud, 2 reasons for using it were the fact that i'd bought it about a month before and hadn't used it yet and also took the 660 but realised when i came to use it that it had been hammered previously so wasn't prepared to come down the tree to sharpen it to make about 6 cuts. I do prefer to use something bigger than diameter, were as others prefer smaller and lighter, personal preference i suppose. Thanks for the feedback mate
I can't wait for the day that i will have to go out and buy myself one of those bad boys. Your an awsome arborist dude. Keep up the good work and play it safe for you and our mother earth lungs.
I tip my hat to you sir, Good work and good show. Nice saw work , but i would have used a 440mag with a 32 or 36 befor I had the monstor 880 mag in the tree.. But it is your job and done very well. I hope to see more of your work no matter what any body says.. keep cutting safe .
very nice video mate. Iv'e been an arborist now for 4 years have myself a lead climbers job :) so im really pleased bout that. Take care mate and cut safe fella
As far as i can see the job was fine, am new 2 the arb game and not using gobs and back cuts would be nuts am sure, no control and major danger of splitting.
Love it, love it ,LOVE IT! so dan holiday83 has gone on and signed up for another youtube user name (testcricket01) kind of a current theme for a name you just thought of. This kind of stupidity would only come from the like of you - the kind of fool who might put unleaded in a desil !! after he has spent the day doing BAD treework
very difficult to climb are plain trees,they get covered in slime at certain times of the year,there are few branches for a climber to exploit ,the wood is hard and unforgiving on a climbers body,like in oww where did i get those bruises.
one for the pros.

Im assuming he is using somewhere around the ms310 18-20 inch bar , now only reason i could reason I can think of for why hes packing such a big guy up there would be beech is a hard wood if i can remember so to save time with the struggle you gotta work a little harder. Just Guessing.

Just because you took it down in so many sections doesnt make it a big tree, and your choice of saw?!? I could have done a whole lot of that with my ms200t and 357xp with 14 and 15 inch bars

@TalbotFanMan really! i mean really! i've been in the industry for 10 yrs and that is in the big tree range. what are you trying to be a hero or something!geez. if that isn't a big tree your eyes aint working

@gpartrt Sorry, clearly my eyes are not working correctly or i would have noticed there was a bit of sledge hammer breaking a peanut going on. Seriosly, a 125cc saw with 48 inch bar?!? on the last section maybe. why such a big saw to start with up the tree? why such small sections after knocking the last to tops out? I think you are just looking for an arguement. 10 years you say? All one a fuck when you talk shit.

I agree with murphy4trees, why all the small cuts with the 361? Good job though.

nothing wrong with using an 88 in a tree if you can handle it, the extra power is good to have. You make the top cut of the face first which is good. I think you could have gotten away with cutting the faces a bit shallower, using the pull line... only real criticism is making all those small snap cuts with the 36. Waste of time. if you had room to drop the big logs, you could have cut them a lot bigger and saved time and energy. When you get older, saving energy becomes huge. BIG Tree nice work

we all have our personel preferences to saw sizes. I use a much smaller saw due to weight issues in the tree. Very Nicely done!!! Highly respectable line of work.

running a 880 in a tree that is less than 6 feet in diameter is stupid.
a stihl 460 with a 3/4 wrap handle would have made things much easier.
But hay im no tree surgion, im just a
dumb ass timber faller what would I know about saws & trees??

Clearly this guy knows what he'd doing....I doubt in this dangerous line of work ,"showboating" as someone put it is commonplace.
Just wondering the estimated age of that tree? :) And if that was my home, I would think that stump would make an excellent platform for a treehouse!
Gigi69SentByAngels 2 years ago
Well done, but unless you havent anything smaller than an 88 your showboating for the camera using it when a smaller saw would save your back, increase your speed and be safer to use. Ah but the ego of us arborists when the camera is on makes us do stupid things. I only climb with an 88 when NOTHING else will work, hate the thing but lighter than my 090! Great job!
timber020 2 years ago
Fair comment bud, 2 reasons for using it were the fact that i'd bought it about a month before and hadn't used it yet and also took the 660 but realised when i came to use it that it had been hammered previously so wasn't prepared to come down the tree to sharpen it to make about 6 cuts. I do prefer to use something bigger than diameter, were as others prefer smaller and lighter, personal preference i suppose. Thanks for the feedback mate

I tip my hat to you sir, Good work and good show. Nice saw work , but i would have used a 440mag with a 32 or 36 befor I had the monstor 880 mag in the tree.. But it is your job and done very well. I hope to see more of your work no matter what any body says.. keep cutting safe .

As far as i can see the job was fine, am new 2 the arb game and not using gobs and back cuts would be nuts am sure, no control and major danger of splitting.

Love it, love it ,LOVE IT! so dan holiday83 has gone on and signed up for another youtube user name (testcricket01) kind of a current theme for a name you just thought of. This kind of stupidity would only come from the like of you - the kind of fool who might put unleaded in a desil !! after he has spent the day doing BAD treework
