  I'm the homeowner, very glad I hired a prefessional to do this.

  Man you are so knowledgeable about falling trees at such a young age age, been following you for a while and it has helped with my understanding of trees. Guess you had the best teacher, RIP.

  The timing of ‘just wait a minute for it to fall’ and seeing it fall was perfect. <br><br>I was expecting him to go back in to cut more, while being anxious it would kick back when falling. <br><br>Definitely master at work.

  I can tell these are hard trees for you to work with and I&apos;m referring to it being emotionally hard . &nbsp;<br><br>Just remember that he knew you would be the best one to step up and take his spot .<br><br>I work as a wild land fire fighter as a Sawyer and puller and your videos in the &nbsp;past with certain people up to your present videos of just yourself have been in valuable to me for my life of work and as well as outside of work as I enjoy free work so much to the point that it&apos;s a hobby. &nbsp;<br><br>I appreciate what you do and the obvious Love you have for the work because your videos show that . <br><br>You are very adamant about &nbsp;making sure you&apos;re S.A. is always 100% ,that you make it well known of all possible dangers and how to safely complete the job and overall your integrity for everything is on par . <br><br>Can&apos;t thank you enough for the invaluable knowledge I have gained and the countless other people who feel the same. &nbsp;<br><br>Keep up the good work bub and always remember he is looking down on you proud as ever

  I had a co-dominant ash tree I cut last year. Didn&apos;t know how to cut it but i cut into one of them and pinched my bar and ended up cutting the other one with my other saw and had to do my 1st plunge cut into it and was completely rotten inside but got lucky that it fell where I had it aimed and then cut the other tree and was able to open it up enough to get my bar out and fell it. Your video a few years back on 7 ways to cut a tree helped me out that day. But thankfully I fell them in an open yard far away from a house

  I have been watching your videos for a while now and I have to say the sound of this one cracking and falling might be the best one yet. Very informative as well, I have heard of co-dominant trees before but never realized how dangerous they would be to fall. Nicely Done!

  After having broken half my cheap wedges at a job yesterday, the next tree I fell (co-dominant or not) will be done with the 4 new wedges I just ordered from sappy supplies!<br><br>Just started the video! &nbsp;Can&apos;t wait to see how it turns out. &nbsp;I warn you - I will be silently judging. &nbsp;🙂<br><br>I see you&apos;re using the 395. &nbsp;I like it. &nbsp;Also, I&apos;m a tiny bit jealous.

  I like how your content style has matured lately. &nbsp;More informative and technical than some of your earlier stuff (with Eastside, I guess?) Keep up the good work.
