TERRIFFIC! The ground guy does a tremendous amount of work and makes the whole job go a lot faster. Thank you for taking the time to do this and offering all the different views and hints for helping the work go smoother and faster. AWESOME! It shows all the work Adam does. Thank You Very Much!
A groundie and a climber should be symbiotic. It’s a lot of fun when you both know what’s going on, makes work enjoyable. I’m currently a groundie working for my pops but I will get my ISA cert.
August, when I first started watching your videos as a rookie in the tree business. I have learned and I am still learning a lot from your videos. Thanks be to God for allowing me to find your channel. Keep living for Jesus and posting amazing videos with helpful information and tips. God bless.
To the average person this would look like any other tree video. But to a tree life person, I see all the small things you are doing. Thank you. This is a perfect training video for ground guys. Yall be safe.
I really appreciate your willingness to explain your techniques for a few years now I’ve been watching you and I was wondering how you anchored your speed line I had to shift through videos and screenshot that’s when I noticed you use the tree angel,,,,seems like a lot of your advice I follow,,,,next step for me is a chipper purchase,,Probably go with the diesel BC 1000
Great instruction on how 2s & not dooes, Now if I can just get my boss to watch on how to not bury a ground guy I'd be golden.😄❤. Thank you for all your personal time with sharing your videos and taken the time to edit them we appreciate them we appreciate the time you give us away from your life and family for us to enjoy and learn. Prayers to you and your family , Be safe.
Don't know if you pioneered speed lining. But it was watching you I saw it first. So you get all the cred. Love the effort you're putting forth to share your journey. This is actually fun and you're a shining Beacon of Hope in the Darkness, of a well-oiled team that is leader inspired I'm sure. And I'm also sure crew inspired as a good team always is
No need to apologize for the noise. After all we are watching tree work with chain saws. Noise is part of the enjoyment. Sights and sounds. Great video. thanks.
I am a late arrival to the channel and trying to catch up. This is an excellent video that clearly communicates the use of gear , the need to think outside the box and importance of a solid ground man. Thank you very much August (and Team) for taking the time to create and share your expertise.
Excellent video topic! I’m always in the tree and it’s so great that you took the time to show the anchoring side of the speed line. I have been using your monkey beaver speed line kit for a few weeks now and getting better, but need to work out the drop amount before sliding it away from the tree. I watched a Reg Coates and he, as always, made a good point about avoiding side stress on the stem. I am struggling with that a bit. I just did a 165’ poplar removal and used the speed line. I was not confident on how far out I wanted the anchor point and tried to reduce the stress on my ground guy. I was worried about snapping the stem at the top. Anyway, awesome video topic and your videos teach me the stuff I need to be thinking about and how to do it safely. I’m getting better and better! Thanks to you and the crew. I am always impressed with the job site moral and it seems like you have a great crew. In my opinion I’m only as good as my ground crew and I wouldn’t be anything but a guy stuck in a tree without their supper and hard work. I would enjoy more ground perspective videos in addition to your climbing videos in the future. Thanks Again August! Another excellent job helping the industry get better!
And paying attention while your working to figure out that,if I pull the rope out far enough from the tree between us,the limbs slide down my side of the tree...this is a great video!!! Anyone should be able to learn from this...I can't get enough of your videos. Great advice comes from A LOT of hardwork. thank you sir.💚🌳💚🌳👊👍
This a great video! I love the commentary from the Boss of the Tree Tops. Love the noise of the chainsaws as well. I never get tired of speed lining and rigging techniques. Please don't stop any of it...
Thank you for all the work and time you put in making videos for us August! 👍 As always, an awesome job on the tree work, your commentary and the video! I learn something in every video. ❤️ 🙏 - Kim
The “redirect” or anchor helps managing not just the weight of the branches coming down, or preventing the ground person being pulled forward…but it also protects the ground person from being potentially struck by the descending branches…believe it…it happens often. Some folks also install an anchored “break-line” with a carabiner perpendicular to the speed-line in such a way as to stop the descending branches at a chosen zone…Great stuff August, thank you for putting in the enormous hours creating this invaluable content!
Absolutely love it August! 😃👍❤️🌲 An excellent video from the groundie's point of view and loaded with great information! Thank you! Also, well done again to you and your crew making the hard work look easy. 😉 Keep yourselves safe! Randy
NOISY yes, but I was watching and listening to you explain and also admiring all work music, quite the orchestra you and the crew have going on. Thanks for taking me along.
Thanks for showing something as simple as how to use a port-a-wrap. Tree rigging seems like a big puzzle to me. So videos like this make it less intimidating to get into. 👍
Yup gonna have to order one of them mini porta-raps. I use big brother daily. Thank you so much for another great informational video. I love learning new/different ways to make my day that much easier.
The mini is the way to go. I have both but seldom use the bigger one, Unless I'm using bigger diameter rope. Half inch seems to run fine on the mini though.
Thank you for showing us how you guys do this from the ground perspective! Curious on the backbone vs portawrap. We don't have a backbone, but if it's easier to use I'm all for it! We've been loving your speed line setup as we get to use it more and get more comfortable with the what we can fit where etc. Aaron needs another magazine when he is down in October.
Here's one idea for subject - paperwork. Like legal side of work with insurance, departaments, subcontractors and all. Not much help for me, I'm on the other side of the world, but could be help for DIYers and guys doing side gigs in trade.
Should have setup a z rig on the speedline then you could 1)take the friction off your hand 2) be able to tighten the rope as the branches come off and introduce slack in the system 3) use the tale as a “redirect” to pull the rope away from the tree while simultaneously tightening the rope
Good morning guys. August use everything you can to make it easier on your body. Are you still having back problems?? I had mine operated on in December and in June I went and had some nerves deadened. I'm getting around some better just gonna take a little time to get all healed up. Y'all take care and have a blessed and safe day and I'll see you on your next vidja.
17:07 - @August Hunicke - Uh-oh, going to have to _cite_ you for using _"your"_ instead of, you're (you are) - "Glad my _what's,_ here"?! Cheers- *Note: Before I get flamed and, roasted (or, ignored) and, called some kind of _"nazi"_ - I'm not _wrong;_ Yet, I am having (intending) fun with it though... I am enjoying the detailed perspective from the ground-handler's view with rigging and operating, this end of the speed-line! I'm not a teacher though, I do enjoy when you show _'your'_ work! Take care, y'all! (edit) p.s. - I gave a thumbs-up! 👍 (to this video!)
hahh! thank you. oddly enough, im here with precisely th same question. tryna figger out, you’re glad my what is here? and, i m not piling on here, @augusthunicke. honest. only jst hackin on yuh. safe to presume? that you’re well aware, if we didn’t love you, we wld certainly not be takin th time tbe hackin. honest. also, thank you very much, august, for continuing to knock out these killer and most beautiful video works of art. in spite of th fact that you’ve actually explained how you’re up a tree all day, and then up til who laid th rails er daybreak, watching and editing video, i do not know how th heck you manage it. please sir, try not tbe so consumed, that you make old people out of you. it’s abt all those sweet faces at home
Hi to you! Glad to be here. Don’t apologize for the sound, sounds like work to me. Enjoy it. It did kinds feel like you were messing with Adam’s flow though. Hahahaha Great video.
Could you do a few min chat about your communications gear. How you talk to guys while up or as grounds crew ☺️ Also want to hear about ur opinion of the fuel injected saw think it’s a stihl 540I ?? thank you
Thanks for all your videos! Maybe I'm the only one but I'm wondering if you could show some climbing and pruning techniques on trees that aren't coming down. Seems like there might be some key differences when you're having to climb, maneuver around, and cut on a tree that you can't use spurs on...?
I’ll do a vid when it comes up. Mostly removals tho.. Damien and them do the pruning mostly because I did 25 years of it and always preferred the challenge of rigging associated with removals and so now I get choose what I want to do more.
Great video :-) I wish I have such easy job this saturday. Instead I will be dealing with 21 m tall dead ash tree standing in the middle of lower green undergrowth. Hopefully I don't damage myself, obstacles under the tree nor the undergrowth.
Grammer Police here 😂 Love this video! Sorry August I have to… in a previous video I was thinking you had a shirt on that said “Grammer Police”? (LOL) @17:09 should be Glad “you’re” not “your” Here…. 😂😂 sorry I just couldn’t resist! Great video keep em coming!!!
Thanks for that perspective, August. Seems like a ground man's work is never done. Easy to get overwhelmed with limbs flying at us!🤕 I ducked a few times. 😉
I had to stop watching to go out and talk to a tree guy that wants to fall a neighbors tree toward my home. He used a board off the neighbors scrap pile to determine where it would fall. I like seeing the detail. Your fall looked just as painful seeing it again.
You have some really bowed and heavy leaning trees down there in G.P.! You are fairly close to the Oregon Vortex, so that might have something to do with it. Our trees grow much straighter here in Boring. 😆 Just curious, do you have a fisheye lens correction option in your editing software?
Great video. I'm new to your channel. My question to you is what's the set up on the other end of the line? How are you rigged to the top of the tree where the limbs are being cut from?
The rope you are using as the speed-line is it steel core or not? If not what weight rating would you recommend? By looking at it it looks like a braided-climbing style rope that you can pick up at any hardware or outdoor outfitter.
@@AugustHunicke Thank you for the response. Living on acreage in a hurricane-prone area, I try to do most of my own tree work. Thinning out the trees and pruning the ones I want to keep. Now I know what to get and looking into purchasing some of your equipment to make the chores easier.
By the way, I pretty much don't think the noise bothers us most of the time. If the noise did bother us, we would lower our computer volume and even mute all sound if if we wanted to and then just keep on watching. Borrowing a phrase from you August, "I might have done that once or twice before," just maybe! 😁
Did yer grapple pin break and now it’s stuck in that position? Ask me how I know 😆 with the grapple open and tips on the ground, push out the locking roll pin and take the nut off, start the machine, lift enough to retrieve sprung and pin bit with maganet, install homemade pin of 3/4” cold rolled 😎❤️
I once saw a Mexican ground man pulled about ten or twelve feet into the air while holding onto a rope. He took off like superman when the climber cut the pine tree limb loose. The funny thing is that they all though it was funny... LOL
Hey August, I’m a contract climber out of Indiana. Wondering if I made my way to Oregon, I could come do a tree for you for free? I’d just like the experience and knowledge from you and the guys, that would mean more to me than anything.
What would happen if you tied the speedline line straight to the tree, under tension? Seems that the worst that would happen would be having to move and re tie the rope every few pieces.
August - I'm surprised you and your crew aren't using battery-powered saws when climbing these days. In addition to being quieter, there's no rope to pull so it's much safer - especially when you're 100 feet up. There are cordless saws on the market now that are surely good enough for removing limbs and treetops.
Hi I just have a few questions that anyone can answer. 1) What type,size and length of rope do you use? 2)You guys on the West Coast do allot of conifers how do you get the pitch off your arms and gear? The reason I am asking this is I am retired for the most part but I will do no clean up jobs or jobs for friends. Had to do a yellow pine last week. It was 75' tall with a ton of limbs. If I had a speed line set up I could have had my friend standing in a spot where we were going to burn them. It took some nasty chemicals to get the pitch off of my arms.
I get this question a lot. I literally just wash with soap and water and I don’t try extra hard to get it off. It wears off eventually. I tear the big clumps off. Lose a little bit of hair.
Mix seems to work ok, diesel works better. Pretty sure either one isn't very good for the skin. Lol. I second August though. Get the big stuff and let the rest ride. Chances are you'll get some more on you tomorrow.

Good stuff August. Good to see the portowrap in action and the mindset when you’re using it.
So good to see alternative techniques - not just another crane pick !
This is very instructive... thank you for the details on using the small port-a-wrap as an anchor. It almost looks easy (almost).

Muito bom amigo mostrando com detalhes
I’m with Adam and the machine!
Nice job and video
Thank you! Sending to all my ground dwellers 🤤
Try the Petzl Spin 1D. With a prussic and pulley 2-1. Makes a great zip line anchor. East to take up slack and good friction
A lot of apologizing for great camera work! Thanks for giving us the insight!
Was there a lot of apologizing? 🤷🏼♂️ I didn’t know
More like l was standing in the yard being allowed to be involved & kept safe at the same time. Also plenty of demos of great posture.
The youngin at the very end is a topper to a great video.
Gotta love those “zam kits “ 😂
Thank you August , I have been working alone on my own property and wondering about speed lining
Hi August I use a 3 to 1 with a prusik that acts as a bumper .
Very good.😆 👌👌👍

Another nice video August. I think of that day you got slammed quite often. My back hurts thinking about it.
I had to stop watching to go out and talk to a tree guy that wants to fall a neighbors tree toward my home. He used a board off the neighbors scrap pile to determine where it would fall.
I like seeing the detail. Your fall looked just as painful seeing it again.
Me to
Glad your here.
I love my climber
August, do you ever use a vehicle or the chipper as a speed line anchor?
Ya
You have some really bowed and heavy leaning trees down there in G.P.! You are fairly close to the Oregon Vortex, so that might have something to do with it. Our trees grow much straighter here in Boring. 😆
Just curious, do you have a fisheye lens correction option in your editing software?
Great video. I'm new to your channel. My question to you is what's the set up on the other end of the line? How are you rigged to the top of the tree where the limbs are being cut from?
You’ll see a lot of that in other speed lining videos that I have
Do you use a more static rope for the speed line?
Yes
Do you typically pull the speed line thru the carabiners or unclip the carabiners from the speed line?
Unclip
The rope you are using as the speed-line is it steel core or not? If not what weight rating would you recommend? By looking at it it looks like a braided-climbing style rope that you can pick up at any hardware or outdoor outfitter.
It’s not hardware store rope. Its not steel core. It’s static rope 9800lbs MBS

August, it looked like you were at the speed-line rodeo when you were looking back. Sorry you busted your rear on that ride.
When you bid a job is there a higher fee for a tree growing through a structure?
🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ not difficult

Joe your noisy lol great video August
The wight Buffolow says come and take it.
Been there bout your weight ..used to work for guy that didn't use portys' on limbs.made use old sit on rope behind you style .got tossed around .
