      I only started dropping some more serious trees in the past 3 or 4 months since we moved offgrid and remote in Australia.
      I found Jacob and Jed while I was looking for better info on cutting trees and came across the 8 ways to fell a tree video. Instantly Jed comes across as both a true professional at his work and also an extremely humble man in how he carried himself.
      I will be forever indebted to him and Jacob for that video and the information they shared. It's given me the confidence to cut some heavy trees over here and know it will be a good shot.
      Rest in peace mate.

      One thing I know for sure is “ when ever I lose the fear of climbing ,sawing and rigging I’m done with trees”every time I climb I’m scared.
      Widow makers hide and often never seen. RIL Jed. I learned new techniques from you buddy 😢

    2 years ago, I took down a 35 foot black walnut in my backyard. After being quoted absolutely ridiculous rates or being ignored by all the arborists in my area, I decided to do it myself. I cut it down, cut the limbs into firewood and built a chainsaw mill to turn the trunk into slabs. I had never touched a chainsaw prior to this endeavor, and everything from safety, to technique, to sharpening the thing, almost all of my knowledge came from this channel and learning from Jed. I feel like he literally taught me everything I know about this.
    I don't comment on videos, but this is an exception. Rest in peace man. Thank you for everything, and thank you Jacob for the channel and everything you're doing

      @Elliott Brown gotta pay the bills. The talent then leave the location without a trace. Homeowners all have high expectations and it quickly translates into skilled labor. It's not groundskeeper Willy working on your property it's craftsman with responsibility and experience that you pay for.

    • Elliott Brown
      Elliott Brown Month ago +13

      I think it's important to keep in mind that those absolutely ridiculous rates are for the exact reason Jed's life was cut short. Tree work is an incredibly hazardous job that few recognize. Not only the risk of limb, but also property. No matter the size of a tree, there's almost always a hazard presented. What a blessing it was that you were able to gain the courage from Jed's instruction. I too have gained so much from his videos.

    • RNJuiceable
      RNJuiceable Month ago +2

      it is absolutely incredible how much bringing down a single tree can cost. We recently got quoted something like $7500 to bring down about 15-20 moderately sized trees so I've done the same as you -- relearned it myself

  • Ian Reeves

    I'm gutted to learn about Jed's death. His eloquence, deep knowledge, intelligence, and obvious humility were on full display in every one of the videos you produced. He was a goddamn professor of tree work. I only knew of the man through these videos and still I cried. That speaks volumes about what kind of person he must have been. Rest in Trees, Jed.

    I knew Jed as a teenager and he was always someone you wanted to just be close to. Although we hadn’t spoke since 1992, it was clear that he was still a great thinker, feeler, and communicator. Thank you for putting this together, I’m so sorry for your loss, and for all of our loss.

    I watch several tree channels regularly but had never seen this one for some reason so this is the first time to see you and Jed. What a great, passionate, sharp guy he was! Definitely the type of person that makes the world a better place and will be sorely missed. As somewhat of a tree feller myself I can understand what he said about the “ineffable” feeling that that sort of work gives you. You feel godlike way up in a tree, overlooking everything around you, while at the same time, being on the ground dropping one also gives you a real sense of power and the forces of nature. A definite respect for each tree and a true appreciation for the forest.

    I don't know you from Adam, but your tribute and effort to care for your friend's family is admirable. It touched me deeply. As a father to two little girls myself, I'm broken by the amount of love he must have for his little girls and how badly he probably misses them. At the same time, I am consoled by the knowledge that he has someone like you in his corner to watch over his family. I've donated what little I can because of your efforts. A burden shared is a burden lightened. Thank you.

    I cried like a baby through this entire tribute. I never had the honor to know Jed personally, but he was a guy you could just love through the screen. He’s always been a legend in my book. That last part in Gordy’s shop when you told each other I love you, that’s always stuck with me. Pure magic. You and all your friends have made a big impact on a lot of lives. We’ll miss you Jed ❤.

    I heard this and even though I didn’t personally know him. I’ve come to know him from hours of video. Always a smile on his face and such a friendly open and inviting guy. He was such an evil genius type when it came to anything tree cutting and chainsaw. I learned so much from him and have been so much safer in my operations.
    Thank you guys for your content and Jed will be missed. My condolences to you all and his family my deepest sorrow. I have two young daughters myself.

    I’ve been working as an arborist for 17 years and with time you ”forget” how dangerous this line of work is. I’ve watched Jed on here and on west coast.....and he just seemed like a really cool guy and skilled as hell. I’m from sweden so I’ve never met him but through the videos he just felt like a really humble and soft dude. I really hope all works out for his family and I wanna say thanks for the things he ”taught” me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Jed was an exceptionally competent person working a chainsaw and his fund of knowledge about tree-work was extraordinary.

I am dumbstruck that this could happen to such a fine person.

      Also the way Jed reacted to it gives the full picture of what that relationship was.

Keep your head up brother your community will come through for Jeds wife and little girls . I have a wife and 2 little girls and possibly another on the way. I share the same line of work as a tree climber and bucket operator and I will take this lesson and apply it everyday. Stay diligent , stay focused , follow your heart, and trust in gods plan. For Jed is now with the lord in heaven with streets paved of gold. We will all be up there with our fallen brother one day. Untill the. Every tree I take down will be in memory of him.

When I used to work for a tree company my General Foreman used to tell me a story of a groundsman who literally turned to a pile of mush after a bucket got stuck and he touched the energized truck to get the lift down. After doing tree work for a few years I respect anyone who does this for a living it’s insanely hard work.

    This is very sad to hear, and definitely checks my ego. We used to cut/fell firewood with Dad when we were little so we got pretty okay at it, and I just recently got back in to land clearing. I can honestly say that I run from most of the trees I fell 🤣 since I'm STILL learning how differently they can fall. I don't think I'll be doing anything like y'all do any time soon -- it's incredible how dangerous and shocking it can be. God bless you all, and I pray you find peace in this difficult time

    Brother, I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I don't know any of you but I feel the loss. I know it must feel weird sharing a part of your life with the world so publicly, but it makes a lot of us feel like we know you. We really don't, and you 100% don't know any of us but we're all just people being people and the sharing matters.

    I didn't know this man at all, but holy shit, how much of a great friend you are to not only have captured such an important part of a man's life, his essence, what he was really born into this world for, and during such a difficult time, you put his greatest moments together, so other humans, who couldn't witness his presence on this Earth, can understand how important this man was for the people around him. It's truly hard to lose family, specially those who you chose to become brothers with. Jed seemed to be a great man, and you definitely was part of his legacy.

    I feel terrible for y’all and Jed, I loved to watch him, I can tell he was such a good guy to be around , a wealth of knowledge. The only reason I know how to sharpen a chainsaw is from one of your videos with Jed. Rest in peace

    I got a lot of knowledge from Jed on things that are not prevalent in my area. He will be deeply missed. It’s not a matter of if something happens, but when it does. I have been around the timber business most of my life and have seen so much happen. There are so many unforeseen things that we cannot control. Prayers for Jed’s family.

    Even though I've never had the pleasure of meeting jed in person, this was absolutely devastating news. Jacob, I've watched all of your videos from your first channel and this channel as well. I've watched some of them multiple times. I'm a total stranger, but I'm so thankful that you have the footage of jed that you do. You all are so knowledgeable in tree work, and you both have helped so many of us tree guys further our education. The video footage of jed will live on forever, and he will be known as one of the greatest to have ever played the game. Thank you, Jacob. Rest easy, jed.

    Relatively new to the channel and want to express my deepest sympathies to Jed and his family. Also want to say how much I appreciate your tribute to him. One thing I’ve learned in my short years on this earth, it can happen to you. That is how I approach life to guard myself from all kinds of peril. God speed.

    I just heard and.. words do fall short, ineffable as Jed said. I’ve been in the tree world 5 years now and have seen some close calls but it never hits so hard as when you see a man with so much skill and knowledge taken away from us. Though I never had the privilege to meet him I considered Jed to be a teacher and mentor. His words echo in my head when I’m facing up a tree. I watched your falling videos with him many times. The shock and heartbreak of his passing and the pain to his family, hurts deep. I don’t know quite what to say, it’s a dangerous job but we love it. He will live on in my mind. Rest in peace Jed. May we meet in the next one
    Love you Jacob, thanks for bringing Jed’s wisdom into our work and lives. ❤

    I'm so grateful to the work you guys do - not only because you do something that is inherantly dangerous - but do it safely - but also because of you and Jed and the way you teach - I'm a far safer chainsaw user.......He was a great man....RIP Jed.

    This is terrible news. I watch your tree felling tutorial featuring jed before I go out in my woods to cut. His knowledge is out of this world and I appreciate him sharing it. I built up my confidence by watching him , and the rest of your crew , use different techniques to drop them.
    God bless Jed and his family!!

      Thank you for creating this video. It was nice to see him again doing what he loved.

    I found your channel a few months ago and love the content. I have had chainsaws all of my adult life and I never learned more about sharpening chains and felling trees than from Jed. His knowledge and passion for what he did was amazing. He will be missed and take comfort that his knowledge was passed on to you and other professionals that were close to him but also to the average guy. The world was definitely a better place with Jed. May he rest in peace.

    Hey Jake,
    I heard the news a couple nights ago on a post while surfing videos. I was shocked and saddened to say the least. I am a climber with my own tree service in SE MN. I watch these videos to learn, to share an experience, even if from a great distance, but mainly to be safe in my jobs and make it home. We have lost loggers here too over the years, people with many years in the woods. But the one thing I learned at a very early age is that even if you do everything perfect, it can go very wrong very fast. Take care my friend, be safe and well always. My sincere sympathies to you, his family, and all whose lives he touched. RIP Jed, you will be greatly missed.😔

    One of the greatest skaters to ever stand on a board and surfer to ever touch the ocean , I said this on another post but he carried that same passion to his tree work , bright stars always burn out hard and bright, we lost one of the good ones. Prayers for his family and friends, my deepest condolences, tomorrow I’m falling one for Jed ❤️

    My sympathies to you Jake and Jed’s family. The first video I watched on this channel was the tree felling tutorial with you and Jed. Both you and Jed are very talented people with great personalities. The way you both communicate on camera and work together was very soothing to me. It truly makes me a better person after watching your videos. Thank you for everything and again I’m sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed.

    I remember whenever one of my coworkers died from a stroke at the end of the day right when we packed up and got into the work truck to go home. The image of him staring at with lifeless eyes will always haunt me. Trust me man I feel your pain. That man worked for us for 15 years. One of the hardest moments of my life.
