Thank you for the quality of the video. Pictures are so clear. It really does make me feel like I'm there with you. I can almost smell the environment. There is such beauty all around us and within each of us. Keep doing what you were made for. Maybe you could use that....
Howdy August and Crew, or is it Howdy "The Lord Of Flatness" and Crew? Great video August caught myself laughing and grinning along with you as you successfully landed each chunk with a resounding "SPLAT". Always enjoy the camaraderie of your crew as you perform the work. Have A Day! ;~)
I love the channel. I tell the boys about it. I lo e that you don't compromise your work because some safety guy thinks you can push and cut at the same time. It's great. Nothing phases u. Thankyou for your contribution to our small community.
Awesome videos I’m a commercial fisherman slowly saving and buying to start my own tree Buisness you and your crew have been nothing but motivation inspiration and a wealth of knowledge! Thanks for taking the time to do these videos!
Yes, I think the play by play is very interesting and valuable. It shows that every move you make is thought out and intentional. It's only fast because of experience, not because it's being done with very little attention/care.
Efficiency is not rushing, it is the fluidity of decision making. August can out climb younger climbers not by strength and agility but by presence of mind and fluid decisions.
Great and good team sir, always watching your video for learn your climb and rigging. Good team very friendly each other most liked your family member 👍👍👍
PG Tips Amazing work great camera angles . So proficient I’m in awe Love watching tree felling your team are so tight super communication !!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great work August, occasionally we get pine plantations with red pines that are a hard pine and sturdy like those firs, 50 feet shorter in the Midwest:) The GRCS would prove useful in this application. I consider Greg Good a friend so I’m partial:) Thanks for all the great angles, the beautiful views all around you are awesome!
Yeah it's the most fun thing to do in my opinion even more fun than climbing, I've been doing it a lot with dead trees recently. Although negative rigging a top and letting it run comes close to it.
"There would be screams"...that made me chuckle, lol. Realistically, most people would need diapers to be up there next to that block holding a tree of similar size :)
17:50 - _"It's like Boeing-747 degrees_" (I like what you did there) - I'm still watching @August, I'm just not yammering in the comments, as much - Cheers (respect)
It was cool how Damien bounced that stem over the stump so it was in the lay with the others. Too bad he didn't call it beforehand though; doesn't count. 🤷🤣 Awesome video as always, you guys are great!
I personally think that you could qualify for the new U.S. Olympic Tree Tossing team August. I like the blow by blow commentary because it showcases your prediction ability. You're the boss and those trees know not to misbehave. Thanks for the video...
Good Morning August, I think I am developing a condition called "August dependency" it seems I can not fully enjoy coffee in the early hours of the day without hearing a calm voice and a chainsaw. Right on, Smiling, George.
That ground worker putting his hand up when Damien revved the saw scared me for a second. Should really maintain a safer distance from the cutter... loved the video though August. Climb safe.
Electric chain saws make me think of an electric knife for wood. i had one to do minor trimming around the mobile home park i managed for years. loved it. resident simply plugged me in to their home, then i trimmed... i learned a lot from grinning veteran tree guys ,, laughing at my "Toy Saw" bless them! . easy and fun!
Every frickin video I pick up little golden tidbits of genius...... I’ve been struggling with going up these 45 degree spars..... it’s so uncomfortable on the top side of them. Next time I’ll try the underside. THANKS AUGUST!!!!
I didn’t climb under the lean for 15 years, started doing it after watching you. It’s awesome, I think in the past my brain said my chances were better surviving a failure from on top. 😆❤️
Split video is a great invention. Then comes the side August is in. Then the brain just watches the ground crew. Spot on, close the eyes. At least he does not get upset with our comments about queasiness. Good teacher, patient.
Geometry is in my head and not in my vocabulary ! 🤘 Wicked cool video , this wannabe is getting schooled ! I got several dead red oaks and can't wait to do my first tops .
Found those snaps at wesspur, they slide the best of any clip… but not that well😆 we have bent a couple gates so we run them till the gate bothers and then scrap em!
You are just a video machine. Slamming wood in the groove. Fun to watch. I think it's experience thing. You seem to just know what it takes to get the timing down. Got a quick question, how's the 540i compared to the 2511t? How does the weight/sound level/power/instant on thing play out, and how do you decide which one to take up? I get if you're in a noise sensitive/burn ban area, it's all electric, but what's your preference? Might not be such a quick one as I thought, a lot of factors there....
Hi August; I’m in the UK. You Just found you on TH-cam & your videos are very professional and informative; your team work really well together. I look fwd to watching your vids as they are published. Could you do a quick vid on the gear you wear inc the ‘spats’ you wear on your feet to climb trees please. Great work & please keep it up.
August asks how much longer before they will be ready. Damion says they were just waiting for August to finish his narration. It's really Monkey Beaver Video Productions, Inc. and they sideline in tree work! Awesome quintuple flop series! You guys stay safe!
Freekin perfect 👌, I'm training some rook's,it's so great to refer to some things in your vids to help further explain what, why,and how!! We do what we do!! Safe, Efficient and go home to our families every night.! THANK YOU 💪👍✌
I will be visiting the website shortly I just got off of work I'm redesigning my suspenders to hold. To hold my Bionic prosthesis.! I have to customize all my rigs to accommodate my bionic leg because it's not just flesh and Bone It's a combination of robotics and carbon fiber and silicone gel that make up the bionic leg prosthesis holding it on is another story in the future things will be a little different my bionic will be connected directly to bone true Osteo integration I will be the cyborgmonkeybeaver p.s. I love the upgrades to the belt
Well, I feel alot better knowing I'm not the only one to employ such shenanigans. The trees here in West Michigan more times than not sprawl out instead of being straight up and skinny as a rail. Your rope guys are some of the best in the business; not enough "o's" in smooth. I saw they used mechanical advantage at the bottom with an ascender, would you by chance give us a closer look at that set up? I was considering getting the CMI Rope Jack to help my rope guys with the slack in the line especially on rough bark or stickers, but if you already have a mechanical advantage mousetrap I'd like to try encorporating it.
Dont get me wrong. I thoroughly enjoy watching Hunickes videos, and I have learned a few things from them, but my main takeway is: it must be nice to be 40 feet up, and not be alone on the job.
Lots of climbers despise climbing up the bottom side of a lean, but I prefer it most times. Especially if there isn't a good tie in directly above or behind me climbing up the high side of lean
Well- if i was working as a tree cutter id dang well have a Monkey/Beaver climbing harness and all the accessories that u can add to it lol- Thank u August for ur invention
![HIWWHEE | OHM [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OJJLtTLqLag/mqdefault.jpg)
Brings back a lot of memories . 61 and still climbing.
.
The sound of FLAT makes me smile!
I can do this all day and come home and watch your videos all night. Drives my wife batty. 😂 love the videos August. The crew you have seem well knit.
I like how u said "you really test your logic when you put yourself in the experiment" makes alot of sense 🙌
My dad called my rope tying attempts "Gopher Knots" because he said he had to go for a knife to cut them out! Thank you for sharing and stay safe.
Thank you for the quality of the video. Pictures are so clear.
It really does make me feel like I'm there with you. I can almost smell the environment. There is such beauty all around us and within each of us. Keep doing what you were made for. Maybe you could use that....
I’ve had a nice afternoon watching your videos! I love your channel.❤❤❤
Enjoy and very impressed with your work sir. Thanks again.
Just when I notice one of the crew getting to close...your subtitles make the warning for us watching. Great!
Hey August and Damien and the rest of the gang. I love watching your videos.
Great vidja August. Y'all did a great job. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next vidja.
Howdy August and Crew, or is it Howdy "The Lord Of Flatness" and Crew? Great video August caught myself laughing and grinning along with you as you successfully landed each chunk with a resounding "SPLAT". Always enjoy the camaraderie of your crew as you perform the work. Have A Day! ;~)

I quit my job at 21 years old with no experience and like barley any gear I now have inusrce and am doing a 4500$ tree tm
Loved this one August. It must have been quite the feeling the first time you topped a tree and it jumped around like those here.
Yes, I think the play by play is very interesting and valuable. It shows that every move you make is thought out and intentional. It's only fast because of experience, not because it's being done with very little attention/care.

Great and good team sir, always watching your video for learn your climb and rigging. Good team very friendly each other most liked your family member 👍👍👍
My wife and I took a oak tree down that was infected with termites because of storm damage with good results. thank you for your content.
PG Tips Amazing work great camera angles . So proficient I’m in awe Love watching tree felling your team are so tight super communication !!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
You guys are legendary tree climbers in my book I'm a climber and what you guys do makes me jealous
Yes first to post. August you are the man and the monkey beaver kit sling line kit is awesome
Buckin billy Ray sent me over , I enjoyed that video , keep up the good work .
Great work August, occasionally we get pine plantations with red pines that are a hard pine and sturdy like those firs, 50 feet shorter in the Midwest:) The GRCS would prove useful in this application. I consider Greg Good a friend so I’m partial:) Thanks for all the great angles, the beautiful views all around you are awesome!
Great work August and crew! Thanks for all you do buddy. Awesome all the way around guys!
I LOVE THE JADEN ANDERSON hand push/palm notch! I use it sometimes & can't help but stop & think of J for a minute.
Good video
STAY SAFE
There's something appealing about cutting a tree down from the bottom up, by suspending it from the air and lowering it one length at a time.
Hi doc
Yeah it's the most fun thing to do in my opinion even more fun than climbing, I've been doing it a lot with dead trees recently. Although negative rigging a top and letting it run comes close to it.
To me, its not how noodly a pole feels, its when you feel the groundsaw loud and clear on your spar. Feels like bad joojoo to me haha.
"There would be screams"...that made me chuckle, lol. Realistically, most people would need diapers to be up there next to that block holding a tree of similar size :)
17:50 - _"It's like Boeing-747 degrees_" (I like what you did there) - I'm still watching @August, I'm just not yammering in the comments, as much - Cheers (respect)
A, battery saw does very well. Less noise is good! Love the landings.
All your videos are enjoyable and I look first to see if there's a new one. This one is outstanding.
It was cool how Damien bounced that stem over the stump so it was in the lay with the others. Too bad he didn't call it beforehand though; doesn't count. 🤷🤣 Awesome video as always, you guys are great!

Thanks Steve
How do you tension your rigging line? Pulley system or GRCS or ... ? Nice to see those floating trees!
Thank you A Man n Team! 🎉

Great job guys that tree you were rigging from that thing was rocking and rolling
That second top went *INSANELY* smooth
Thanks for sharing your hard won experience.
I didn’t climb under the lean for 15 years, started doing it after watching you. It’s awesome, I think in the past my brain said my chances were better surviving a failure from on top. 😆❤️
"Keep shaking that bush boy". Cheers
Nothing boring with theses vlogs. Something interesting every time.
Split video is a great invention. Then comes the side August is in. Then the brain just watches the ground crew. Spot on, close the eyes.
At least he does not get upset with our comments about queasiness.
Good teacher, patient.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family from Norn Iron!
August "you really trust your logic". YOU really trust your faith too. Good on ya. 👍🏻👌🏻
"Play by play" was great!!!😁
Geometry is in my head and not in my vocabulary ! 🤘 Wicked cool video , this wannabe is getting schooled ! I got several dead red oaks and can't wait to do my first tops .
Never seen a tree cut like that was very impressive 👏 ..
Nice job guys I learn a lot from you guys We have a small tree services business here in indiana and I’m enjoy your videos thanks for your time
So very flatness!
4 times!
Great work guys as usual.
Stay safe
Found those snaps at wesspur, they slide the best of any clip… but not that well😆 we have bent a couple gates so we run them till the gate bothers and then scrap em!
Yep
You are having so much fun. Does a body good!

I remember that swaying. Even in a bucket the tree goes one way and the saw goes the other.
If only I could get my guys to run them that smooth
Freekin perfect 👌, I'm training some rook's,it's so great to refer to some things in your vids to help further explain what, why,and how!! We do what we do!! Safe, Efficient and go home to our families every night.! THANK YOU 💪👍✌

Echoing log thuds got me hyped !!
August Hunicke "The Tiger Woods" of the woods, pun intended!!!
You guys are the best thank you for the transfer of important technics
I do not remember seeing you take them down this way. Nice work.
Nice shot Damien. Was secretly hoping you'd miss by 6" like I do occasionally. 😬
Always great video!! Wish I could come up there and work with y’all for a day
Saw a monkeybeaver patch on a rope bag today and realized it was yours! Cool to see in the wild
This video is like going to work on a good day with a great crew , only bad thing is is i'm not tired.
Nuff said. August+crew=pro.
Lots of climbers despise climbing up the bottom side of a lean, but I prefer it most times.
Especially if there isn't a good tie in directly above or behind me climbing up the high side of lean
That looks like so much fun
Well- if i was working as a tree cutter id dang well have a Monkey/Beaver climbing harness and all the accessories that u can add to it lol- Thank u August for ur invention
Nice work; Nice show.
i think it would be way fun to hang out with you guys. good team of guys working together.....
Your a very brave man to climb a tree and cut brances
Play by play, neat, cool, great, fun, on spot, ect. Only I get dizzzy.
Nice shiny new truck
Loving it bud trusting small trees good rigging
What is the MA being used when Damien is tensioning the line? Maaaan, I’m enjoying the hell out of this one, guys.
I saw Reon with the Merlo. Wow!
Ahh yes the flamingo. I was just explaining this to someone yesterday.
Those slammers are deliciously rad. My little guy Aksel (3) asked if the flat log slammers were gun shots. Arborist bombs. Cheryl and I say hi.
Good job 👍👈
That load line tail from Jeffs top running over Damiens climbing tail... 😳
3 freakin words
Foo
Man
Cho.👍👊💚🌳💚🌳
I learned a lot from you. thanks
Great video editing.
I prefer to climb on the leaning side of the tree rather than the overhang side and I never had an answer as to why until now
Almost looks like that area was replanted, all the trees seem to be in rows., nice spacing between them. Would explain why they are spindley.
"Canopy Cowboys " ride again. incredible stuff
Worlds tallest toothpicks! Great job
Do you have a video on how you rig the base of the tree with a pulley system to remove all the stretch in the rope?
I dig the handlebar 'stache! Would that be a half wrap???
Did you do a video about never running the chipper when a man was in the tree?
