Its so easy to sit back and have the "look at these dummies" attitude. I like how he gives ppl the benefit of the doubt. All guys with experience know, sometimes it just doesn't go your way, 1 mistake doesn't make you a dummie, as long as you learn from it. Respect

Young man please don't ever change. Your one of the very few fellow tree climbers that I can listen to because your not a arrogant climber and seem to have a humble attitude. It's just been my experience that 90 percent of climbers are met are arrogant and tell people if you don't do it their way its wrong so you are ambreath of fresh air.

I really have to point out: there would have been so much bad to say about these fails, but yet, you remain kind and respectful.

“ you got yo get off these ladders guys” truer words have never been spoken.

I am a hobby climber, I bought my gear at a yard sale I do simple work for friends and family ( for free) and on my own properties. I average climbing twice per year. I always watch tree cutting fails before I climb just to get me to be extra careful.

Need to say this...I had a white collar job for nearly 20 years. Worked many hours to get what I wanted in life. Making substantial money until it all ended. Buy-out etc. Lost job.
I had to scratch a living so in my late 30's I picked up a saw. This was one of several irons I had in the fire.
13 years have gone by. I began with little to no knowledge and a Poulan "Pro". Now I have all Stihl, silky, Vermeer, buck, petzel, etc. I also have some knowledge.
Videos from this channel and others have helped me survive. Both financially and physically.
I wouldn't recommended to anyone the direction I took. I put a tree through a house. I had a branch break across my neck. Spinal fluid poured from my nose and ear. I still suffer from the accident. Both of those to incidents were my fault. However, I've avoided many from the information I received from this channel.
I have kept my lights on and food on the table and I thank you.

Good thing about watching these videos is that it makes me appreciate how skilled people like you are and how easily things can go badly wrong when people don't know what they are doing! Several of those people are only still here by chance!

I'm not a professional but I've cut hundreds of trees down. Your video opened my eyes to several potentially dangerous situations, thank you.
A large branch fractured and was hanging from a tree in my yard. I put a ladder on the tree two separate times thinking I could cut it and drop it to the ground. I had a rope on it, also. After the second look, I called a professional.

Hey Jake! I love your work and videos. Just a suggestion for next time...put the videos full screen so we can get a better look at what's happening in them
erikbreen
Great idea to have a professional comment on tree cutting fails! I've learned a lot from you over the years, but you almost always do everything correctly! Whereas here we can understand what not to do!
thedahlins
I learned a lot from you commenting on the fails and what you have learned as far as bounces and banana trees etc. keep up the good work!

It's a darn miracle if that first dude made it out without messing hisself.

Pretty good dude. I like the educational part, picking apart what actually happened and how to avoid it.

Love your reactions here. I can tell you have experience by how you did not belittle anyone. I would like to see more on the why's & why not's of how you attack future trees. Maybe your editor could add in visual examples of your why not's. Those banana trunks or Y-branches were a good example.

Voted up a bunch of comments highlighting the educational value of this video. Its priceless hearing your reactions for people here to learn. That one big barber chair blowout certainly reinforced getting the heck away from the stump. Fing scary

From the 1st videos of Mr. Monkey, you and others.. I now pay much closer attention to bad felling and when I am felling.
The details of how you and your fellow arborist/fellers have shared in proper felling is incredible.
THANKS

Way to keep it positive bro. Its a never easy getting trees down without incident… bodily or property damage. Been at tree work for 25 years and still come across surprises .
jeffmckillop
As others have said, I appreciate your humbleness regarding the peoples mistakes, and sharing your own. Thank you your analysis of what likely went wrong in the videos and how to avoid that. Your comments make this a truly educational video.
