Danial you did. The. Right thing by. Knowing. When. To. Stop because it. Was. Way. To. Highanother man might have pushed. His. Luck and got killed. Or hurt it's always not. Good. Extending yourself you. Did. The. Right. Thing .I wish. You and. Your. Family All the. Best may god. Bless you and. Watch. Over you Sincerly. Mr. Don williams.
GOD bless u and yor family! tell your wife AMEN!!! 45 thumbs up Daniel!!!!!
You are a brave man, willing to try this! Just what your cousin does and what Dusty does with those CRAZY BISON ... both of those jobs scarce the crap out of me. But you were wise enough to know when to call it QUITS!! Yes your wife and kids need you!!
I have a thought that i wondered if you would speek to other families on here ...i watch arms family the most so decided to ask you.....i watch you love the vidios also enjoy when the children participate well heres the problem i watch for heuston and kobii and the hunting with your lovely little lady emma ....i also enjoy watching growjack but have not been able to place comments on the vidios...well theres the problem if the vidios contain children fb freeze coment placing....how can we the watching public praise the wee ones they are proud of what they do but we cant say how proud they make us watchers....MY IDEA for the ability to say well done little ones comes down to all you parents who show us the good folks watching your children learning and joining you. i wondered one vidio a fortnight dedicated from you parents to those events giving us the chance to add comments on what we liked or were wishing we could comment on in the childrens vidios....not that your family come second but that i can not find a vidio of jacks that i can make this suggestion on...i know it means work from you on there behalf but to me its important the children know they are apreciated and i for one would love a way to do so....therefore father arms can you on my behalf and maybe others who think like me talk to jacks father and the dutch family and others who post their family if you can think of others to ask if you fathers can post once or even better twice a month a vidio with no children in but favouring their events so we the watchets can say thank you little ones and well done to them....thank you for reading this long winded post i hope you can help as watching the children and being unable to comment is frusterating when you wish to add praise or comment on a vidios worth ....thank you for your wonderful vidios i enjoy every one bless you all xxxxx
I think Deejay won! Remember, happy wife happy life. 😂 Love you guys and appreciate all the inspiration and laughs. God Bless.
When’s the goats having babies?
I found that when using a pole saw make a under cut on a branch first then the top cut, it won't hinge and will drop below the cut.
Daniel your so brave!
I love the way you love each other! That’s what makes a strong family😊👍🏻
Song of the day, awesome.Thanks for your witness for Our Lord and Savior,Jesus Christ.
I highscaled out of a 180 foot genie underground in the mines. My favorite job ever, making the stope safe for my coworkers. You should teach DJ the ground controls in case the basket controls malfunction....trust me it does happen!
A under cut would have made it drop straight down and not swung to the porch just so you know if you rent one the lifts again
@ArmsFamilyHomestead Could you put the song of the week in the video description? Or maybe make a public playlist with the songs selected in it?
DJ, I love your song of the week and your encouraging messages to go with it.. Thank You 🥰
Daniel tie a hinge knot to the main trunk as high as you can reach. A hinge knot must be heavy rope. Tie a good knot around the trunk above the saw cut using the same heavy rope, tie around the trunk below the saw cut leaving a bit of slack rope between the knots so you can cut the tree without hitting the rope. Cut in the middle the top portion will swing but will be held in place at the bottom of the cut with the hinge knot.
I just ordered me a hat😄😄😄 1st time for ever buying anything off anyone on UZworld would be awesome to get the hole family to sign it
You guys have the nicest place, I'm working toward something like that ,love the show and family!
Definitely good to try new things. Excellent wisdom in knowing what's above your skill level. Comforting to know you did not try it alone!
You still had some feet to go in the lift 😂
That's pretty high glad your ok that's dangerous work
If I lived closer I would come over an cut that tree down for u
Suggestion, when you limb a tree, on branches larger then 5 inches, under cut the branch about 1/4 the thickness, so you don't strip the bark off the tree below the cut. Also this would have prevented the branch from swinging and launching into the porch, as it would break and drop before getting to the bottom of the swing. I had one branch that pulled a 6 foot long bark strip, when I forgot to do it once. Luckily the rest of the branch was getting removed also.
Wasn’t to happy about the beeping sound totally freaked my dog and me out. Sry had to mute the video.. 🥺🥺 but glad u got a new toy to help you out, be careful. And DAM that’s a l o n g way down.. yikes lol
I would use that lift to get up there and put a couple of ropes on the tree and then tie them off to some other trees with a lot of tension pulling them away from the house and then get as high as you can and start cutting into the tree below the rope, but anchor them with a lot of tension on it or get a tractor or your truck on the other side to pull it away as you guys are cutting it down but if you get enough tension and tie it off to the bottom of other trees even if you cut the bottom it won’t fall on the house. You could also just get up there with a shotgun and start pruning it, I’m sure that lift would be safe to shoot a 12 gauge from. Lol
The one you want down, above your skill and comfort level, always good when you can admit that and not getting hurt because you paid for the equipment. Say no to live another day! This is why I love your channel and you. God bless and stay safe 🙏❤
It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom.
DJ. Are you ok? You sound like your voice is horse or crackling!
A new title for you tree trimmer!
Where is your safty belt?
Have you listened to GLORIOUS GOD by Lauren Talley? This song lifts my spirit SO high EVERY time I listen!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏❤️
Also this song was written by two 11 year old boys!!
I need some advice I have had this one goat for about three years now and I just go another one and they have been fighting should I just leave them out together and let them work it out or should I separate them and let them be together for a little while every day
Great job! Kept me on the edge of my seat! LOL!
My dad used to climb up a tree and do that kind of thing by hand with a hacksaw. Crazy stuff.
Hey Daniel, if you want limbs to drop straight down instead of swinging like someone swinging on a rope, try cutting up from the bottom about a third of the way and then go to the top side and come toward the cut you just made from the bottom. You will find that the limbs will drop straight down and away. It would also be a good practice to bring another saw in case something should happen that you would need it. God bless you all and keep you healthy and safe.
If you two have differences, you need to talk them out in private, not in public. The Bible gives us two instructions for having a good marriage. Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the Church. (That means sacrificially) Wives, see that you honor your husbands. That means, show him respect and appreciate all he does for you......even the little things. God knew that women need the security of being loved and cherished and husbands need to be respected and appreciated. God bless you both!
YOUR WIFE IS A GOOD PERSON.
Please look at posting your content on other sites like RUMBLE. I enjoy your content and would like to use another platforms to view. Same content just upload to multiple sites. It would give you multiple audiences pools and allow for more growth outside of UZworld. Thanks.
I am so glad to hear someone else call them a toboggan. Everyone makes fun of me for it! I grew up in east central Indiana and that is what my family called a “beanie”.
How come you didn’t wear a safety harness?
When cutting a tree limb always make sure to cut a inch or two up from the bottom it will just drop straight down if not it will hinge and go where you dont want it to go
Come on Danial under cut the branches first then cut from the top you won’t get the saw caught how long you been cutting wood it’s one of the first thing your taught when cutting 101
Use the man lift to the a rope to then get your tractor then tie it to it then cut the tree down with a chain saw and pull it away from the house with the tractor
Rope with a pulley attached to your truck pulling pressure on tree away from the house then you should be able to cut it down without an issue
You overcame your fear of heights because it was necessary. Good for you , proud of you . And you know when to say that’s over my comfort zone 😀 good for you !! 💕🙏💕
I RECEIVED MY TABAGON AND PINK SHIRT. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH 👏😍👏😍👏
An old man told me when I was younger that the fall won't kill you, it's that sudden stop at the bottom that'll get you !! I'd done the same thing you did.
That beeping🤯
Best way to learn this way or to learn tree spike n boot with tree strap
NOPE! I’ll stick to the ground. I’m deathly afraid of heights! Made me sick just looking at you up there couldn’t watch had to fast forward to you were back on the ground
That was amazing job you dun there to the trees an it is to safe the wen you a up there an how much a the hats 👍🧢
I remember doing that I was in a 85 foot lift the highest I went was 70 feet I carried extra underwear I even had a safety harness Daniel a harness would of been a good idea a little sense of security
Great video Trooper! 👍💙
Just saying the big business seem's to just say wait time in shipping but they come in 3 days or less maybe a nancy/schummer thing..everything is politically affected today...seems big multi business has no issue with be closed down but mom pops sure have been closed down or shipping is long long wait times...nwo this is what the new today will look like they stay in control..
Next time wear a harness!!! It's the law,,
Hey just letting you know that your daughter Emily if that’s her name I forgot she is really cute and I was just wondering if she was single or not let me know I’m not being mean or nothing
My comment is this. Any trees next to the home should be firewood.. The damage they cause is very bad. Cost me 38K on damage before I realized it...
Always, always remember the words of our hero -- Clint Eastwood -- "a man has got to know his limitations". Nothing wrong stopping when ya reach that point. Ponder this if you will, if you were a risk taker you would have been a firefighter or stunt man and you were neither of those before. I understand the high cost of professional tree companies, heck I even understand what friends charge that work for them that will come out on weekends and do it. We try to do everything our self and that includes tree trimming. But I have a huge cottonwood that is too close and I will have to hire it out as well as the elm tree branched out over powerlines. Hard ground and electricity do nothing for my retired LEO body. Stay safe my Oklahoma friend. Wife looked awful cold, better keep her inside by the fire.
Nice tree trimming. Where’s the animals. Can you put a bit about them in with videos.
Might could have told your cousin you had a lift, would he help. --- Good days wouldn't mean much without the bad ones to compare them to.
Do not look down
I always said, that its not The Fall That Hurts, Its That Sudden Stop!!! So your very first analogy was spot on. 😉 😎 Just Stay SAFE!!! Whatever task youre involved in. AND!!!! Ya had some good tunes when ya got offa that lift, & on the tractor!!!
Tie you a climbing rope to top of that tree next to house have it tied off tight as you can get it to a different big tree opposite the house and wedge cut at base the pressure from top of tree will make it fall away from house
Do an under cut first on the limbs. Then they will fall straight down. Glad you called it. Get someone that is a lumber jack. He will fall that tree on spot with proper cuts and wedges. Good call Sir.
Its good u respect your limitations 🥰👍
U guys are awesome. Love watching you. I love seeing you two pick at each other, it's soooooo cute. Beautiful family, God BLESS stay safe.
It’s always that “sudden stop” that’s ALWAYS a problem. LOL
Did Mrs. Arms make sure your life insurance premiums were current before you went up, Daniel?
Great video buddy it's not the fall that will get you it that sudden stop that hurts lol 😂😂😂 take your tractor notch the tree put you a rope in pull it and cut it
Check this out.uzworld.info/player/video/roenmZOffrO3q5Y
I have a lot of oaks on my small 1 acre home and I have a very cool tree man i use for felling trees once on the ground i cut them up and use as fire wood
Ware a harness! Breaking osha code with video evidence.
Could you have tied the tree off up high and cut it down from the ground with a couple of guys pulling the rope while you cut?
i guess you are as stupid as you look
Dead tree took out my side of the duplex I used to live in, you REALLY need that gone. Just me, Id take out any close to the house and replant some a bit off.
Amen Djay
Put a rope in it , and tie to tractor and notch it and cut it down like a normal tree .
I think it would be nice if the misses would sing the song of the week to us!!! Don't you agree!
We call them beanies in South Africa, but the thought of wearing one in the heat we are having right now is not on & I’m not a fan of anything on my head, but your merch looks exciting! Sadly I can’t afford to buy anything, but I’m sure they 100% cotton, made in USA?? Which is long lasting & warm in winter ❤️❤️❤️ Please get a tree feller in to do that tree? Thanks Daniel & DJ
Noticed your wife was holding the life insurance policy in her hands😂
12 gauge is good for limbing dead trees ;-)
Tie a rope to as tall to the top as you can and anchor it to a tree away from your house or use the truck to pull it away. Then cut it down like you would a normal tree.
I received me hoodie within a week from when you sent it off. So happy.
I'm scared of heights and like you said it's not the falling but it's at sudden stop good luck be safe
Makes you think $2000 to take a tree down doesn't seem all that bad.
2 grand to cut a tree down is highway robbery. A good tree cutter could have dropped it where ever you wanted it put it. That tractor is your friend Daniel
Thank you for quitting when you discover you are out of your skill range! We love yall...in one piece!
Wow!
Daniel get a winch and winch the top of the tree to were it has tension and when you cut it at the base it will fall to the tension of the winch
Omg Daniel another great video and content again, um quick question, when are you starting your tree service lol....Arms Family Tree Service, have to admit that looks good lol love you guys and can't wait for the next video
I thought you were going to play the song kind of disappointment. Glad you're okay
👌👍😉
Hi
I would not be concerned about falling, it’s the sudden stop at the bottom you should be concerned about. Make sure you always wear and attach a safety harness when in the bucket because you can easily be thrown out of the bucket when moving.
Daniel, I can't help but notice that party you have peeking out the back of your hat. Throw your subs a bone and let us see what you got going on under that ball cap! Lol
In Canada, what you are referring to as toboggans are known as touques, and a toboggan is a flat snow sled with a curled up front, that goes down hill really fast. LOL. Just some Canadian quirks for you.
And Daniel, you didn't show us what broke when the limb hit the porch. I did that to my shed, but thank goodness only a small bit of shingle damage. Giggles..
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I NEED A CHILD SIZE DONKEY POODLE SHIRT. My granddaughter watches (asks for) " Can I watch donkey poodles?" Wednesday she said, "Can I watch Arms Family?" She's 3.5 years old, know your names with exception to your older son's.
God is good! Better late than never. Love my stuff!
We had tree people out next door to take a tree down. It was fascinating to watch. They had ropes to get the branches to fall where they wanted them to. I think if you undercut the branch first it should fall straight down.
Tree service is crazy expensive! Great job camera lady!
While higher up.. can you tie a rope around the tree to put tension on it to pull the top ths way you want when cutting it down
