Just a tip when saying Husqvarna. It is two words, "Hus" = House and "Qvarna" = Grinder/mill . So first say Hus then Qvarna/Kvarna.
Cheers and thanks for the show!

Great video Jacob! Sondre is learning a lot from you. It is too bad you can't stay to help him complete the job. I hope Sondre will some day soon be able to come to U.S.A. and fell one of our larger trees. It's too bad we can not help him get a chipper.

I never thought I’d spend 30 minutes of my day on a Tuesday night watching some guy named Jacob from Washington cut trees in Norway with a kid named Sondre but hey here I am! Started watching when you were at east side and was thinking about getting into tree work over here in southern Maine and I haven’t stopped watching. It’s cool to see how you approach different trees with minimal or extravagant equipment and it’s super entertaining. My girlfriend doesn’t get it but all my buddies do lol. Keep up the great work man and I’ll keep coming back to watch

At my previous residence, our neighbor had a yard work/landscaping business. Part of the business was removing trailers full of branches and brush. Since he didn't want to pay to drop off at the dump, he'd make huge piles and burn them. We're talking 10-20 foot diameter and about as tall. One day, my wife heard and felt a huge "BOOM". The house shook, the windows rattled. She went outside, and behind our neighbors house was a huge plum of black smoke. We later found out from a different neighbor that they were up on a ladder painting, probably 15-20 feet up on the side of a house. The power from the blast nearly knocked him off the ladder. Over a 1/4 mile away. Turns out the neighbor had another huge pile of brush to burn and he poured so much gas on it, the resulting blast shook the neighborhood. As much empty space as you have out there in that pasture, I'm pretty sure you could safely do the same. Anyway, great fun watching you in Norway. Such a great experience for both of you.

Great to see you working with what you have rather than all the gear a lot of people don’t have. Old Skool methods.

[santizoslawncare]

I'm new to the tree game, I've been landscaping for a while. Myself and many others in my spot would appreciate any how to's you make. The ones you've made in the past have been super informative and helpful. Keep up the strong work

[kevincochran]

We all started with little to no gear. It's fun to watch all the different aspects your in. Norway looks like a beautiful place.

It’s amazing I live 15 min away from shreiner tree care in PA and I’m 21 growing my business so it’s great to see that much respect!

The first tree i ever climbed and cut down was a 36" DBH spruce that was so close to my brothers house it was denting the gutter. I had even less gear gear than you guys rigging with my climbing line just like you are doing. Not letting a lack of gear get in your way is part of the job i enjoy just as much as getting a new piece of gear Haha! Love the the videos!

[darnelljenkinson]

That 572 is a ripper. We got ours from a frie truck dealer. Full wrap handle extra large pull cord. Ported by dyno joe and some aftermarket parts from Gordy. Ie. 3 point dogs

[eithieus]

Love the travel videos. Like your honesty and openness as you tackle the trees.

[lindaarbogast]

Ah this was an eye opener! We need to find a way to help this young man do his job right! I don’t have the financial means to do much but I can certainly pray the good Lord provides a way to send this man proper equipment to do tree removals. Jacob is right we are spoiled in America. Gotta share the wealth! This was a good video. Cant wait to see part 2!

[alexandersjostrom]

The dogs are probably "missing" on the 572 due to the different limbing technique we use in Sweden. At least how I'm tough, you should rest your oil tank on the tree while delimbing. And it's totally impossible to use dogs then because u want to slide the saw on the log. It's a guess but I can't use them dogs the way I cut.

Never thought I'd sit and watch something like this, and here I am enjoying myself.

[CookieShepsky]

I'm an apprentice arborist and have only been practicing with a semi-experienced climber for about 3 weeks, it's so great seeing Jacob more or less taking up a teacher role for someone, very informative videos!

[scotttam]

I’m glad I was taught a lot of the old school methods of tree work I like using some of the modern stuff ports wrap a zig zag rigging rings I do so speed line stuff but I also do a lot stuff basic I feel a lot guys atleast that iv worked with spend a lot time setting stuff up when it’s not always needed.

[marcdesrosiers]

Great video nice to see you teaching someone some tricks of the trade

[robsmith]

Glad you left the gear for him.. you’re leading the way - showing others the way🔥 foreign travel always pays dividends 🔥

[kavemanthewoodbutcher]

Yet another great video Jake! What an adventure in a beautiful place. Such rich history!
