Guy films himself cutting brush out of a tree. Over and over and over. Year after year....And it never gets old. Why is that? I guess if it doesn't get old for you it isn't likely to get old for us watching... Compliments to you-all for the 2022
Right on August, it's 0551 this morning, blowing fourty hells up here on the mountain, I got the coffee just right, fed the woodstove some dry maple( fast heat) and my brain got to go up the tree with you and Damien. I've got some big water oaks to cut for a friend this week. She lives down near the coast. They have been tortured by past hurricane's and have secret splits all over the place. That tip about the splitting limb opening the sling is right on time. I like that you are kind when you explain a lesson in the moment. Avoiding embarrassment of your friend while making sure he understands. I respect you. Smiling, George.
Thank you for showing what happens when you cut it wrong. Great teaching moment for us non-tree peeps. I learned something today about cutting limbs off. Last one learned not to top a tree. Take care - be safe.
@@alberttalbot9534 Once you have done climbing. You get comfortable doing it. Just never should you get lax in safety while doing it. I use to do tower work for the local ham radio guys. (60 to 100 ft level when I was younger) You must always double check each and every move etc. Now once you get up to 200 ft. That is when it gets iffy. 🙂 Take care - be safe
I’m glad you included that piece on the limb falling out of the choker. I picked up that 2 cut technique off your 1st video and now understand the reasoning behind it better.
WOW! AWESOME! You "ALL" have been giving new meaning to "tree cutting" for many years but this SERIES deserves a "SAG" award for your constant, dedicated efforts to the industry, our safety, the 'technique' you have maintained with the TH-cam world (us) is beyond anything out there. YOU ALL are special and matter and appreciated. Thank you! Sonny
This was such beautiful and peaceful work. It has a ballet aire like a Reg Coates job on a big Arbutus tree. With everyone moving from branch to branch with such grace it was so much fun to watch. I think the husky electric saw adds to that calm feeling.
I appreciate the lesson on the big limbs. I have had some big splits on these heavy red oak limbs I am taking down, I am going to try this next weekend! Cheers, Jon
If I was a neighbor, it would be with a recliner, binoculars, and a cooler of beer (which I would surely share, when the saws died down (Pop for August!)) ! Anxiously awaiting Part 3 !
It happens quite often when you climbing trees and cutting em down not somethin people see every day I've had close to 20 neighbors sitting out side watching me at a time
I just love how removing a tree this size changes the skyline. What a different view without that 7 headed monster. Love the multi tasking in the canopy. August, watching Damon and you tackle this beast was flat out AWESOME....great video.💚🌳💚🌳👍👊
@@ericharris893 Can anyone cope with English comprehension? I'll spell it for you: why single out Jeff as groundie and look past Adam? Simple enough for you? Now relax. Finger off trigger.
I’ll have to try that cut method on the next big white pine we do. They are notorious for splitting. Plunge cuts work on really big ones.. Norway spruce get big limbs too but are more fibrous and don’t split. I have had the sling get opened before as well. It’s one of those experiences that changes your behavior :-)
It feels like this video is so perfect, with lots of effort to bring TH-cam along on each cut, and with the music I hope this isn’t the last tree you cover. Love your videos, you are all definitely made for this.
But don’t get me wrong your one of the best creators on this platform in my opinion people don’t understand how important the info you give out as always and it’s usually crucial as well I freaking love these videos
Another excellent video. Damien, like August in his early tree climbing years, I to work for a company who hardly ever let's me climb. All that I've learned about climbing has come from trial and error and going up after all those long days at work. Practicing what I've taken away from Monkey Beaver and several other very talented and reputable arborist from around our planet. I suppose like August, I'll need to start my own small company to get the canopy time a man need's to be productive in a tree. When I get there, I hope I look half as cool as you Damien. I'm Very passionate about climbing. I often struggle with insomnia. It's difficult to make the mind be at ease when passions are not nourished or fed. Especially when existing in these troubled pandemic days.
When a 4" limb is a little one, you know that the big ones weigh a lot more than most. It's nice to see two lines on the big leaders. Always appreciate the August perspective.
You remind me of the best boss I ever had. 4 of us guys had gone to "pick up" Chinese food for the office for lunch and we dropped off the order and went next door to the bar which was running a special of doubles for a dollar. Long story longer only one of us made it back. Then next morning we all came in and all our boss said was "It gets really quiet in here in the afternoon. If you're going to do that again let me know in advance". That was all he said and that was exactly enough. None of us ever did anything stupid like that again.
So, I actually had a branch pop, loosten the sling, and send the branch down on it's own exactly how you are describing here, while bundling to deliver. No harm no foul, but it's awesome to learn how to prevent that happening!
What a magnificent tree. Working (playing) on it is like a day at Dollywood (I'm in TN). Great videography with explanations and daring-do. Looking forward to #3. Thanks August!
Thanks for sharing great job guys the team is bringing this beast down quickly! Great idea on using the hand ascender as a hand hold when nocking that top out I hadn't thought of doing that before. I will be trying it in the future!
Can't wait to see Part 3! Thanks for explaining it those that don't cut trees. I wish you could cut these massive eucalyptus trees above our apartments. I think the owner is going to wait til they fall on us and let the insurance deal with it. Scary
Right after August's battery went dead, there was a shot of Damon talking. I noticed the strap on his helmet was dangling free. Safer to buckle your helmet. Great video. Not sure why this is so enjoyable to watch. Interesting to see how you do this work and it is absorbing enough that i find it relaxing. Quite sure it is not relaxing for you, but you both seem to enjoy the challenge and the satisfaction of working together to remove large trees.
Howdy August, appreciate the graphics with the explanation for the process you use cutting the big limbs. Also thanks for including footage of what happens when that process isn't followed. Damien shouldn't feel(sure he doesn't) at all like he was being "thrown under the bus or publicly criticized" as your demeanor, approach and tone was spot on....true mentorship of a beloved employee and friend. Have A Day! ;~)
Fabulous technical video August, what an ugly monster! 😱 Great work from you and Damien, and massive kudos to Jeff, he’s got to have the smoothest pair of hands in Oregon. Chapeau to you all and can’t wait for the grand finale! Go safe. 😊
I really liked the lesson on taking the large limbs in two halves vertically. Also, your ground guys are incredible to keep up. Is that Jeff down there? He deserves a call out.

Hey august, have you guys thought about making some kind of battery pouch for your saddles for those saws so you can have an extra battery in case yours dies like in the video? I’m a new climber and I love the videos they’ve taught me a ton, thank you.
@@SebKrause661 that could be true, I’ve never used one and I don’t know how long the batteries last. It could also depend on how much the bar oil dial is turned up. My 201t at the factory setting would only use a half a tank or maybe a little more per a tank of gas. Also there is a water bottle pouch he’s using in this video, you could fill a bottle with bar oil and put it in that pouch and have the other pouch with a battery. Then you’d never have to come down or send the saw down.
@@johnw4350 it's definitely an option, climbers/fellers will use smaller containers (metal drink containers) for fuel and oil when working so not having to drag around larger containers. I like the idea of taking another battery, but it seems unnecessary in usual works like this.. Can send it down the rigging line and the groundsman are able to pull it back up to you.
@@SebKrause661 I don’t know, I do that all the time but I never really like doing it. For me I feel like it’d be easier to do it myself up in the tree.
I like batt. You can’t really compare battery to gas in that way because it depends on the diameter of the wood you’re cutting. Battery has come up to legitness though.
Lovin it! I do have a question. Do Samuri Joe and Jeff still get to climb and cut? Can’t wait for part 3. Great work as always. Damien, Listen to papa!
Jeez! Amazing work both on the tree and on the camera placement and editing 🤘🏽 I wonder on a scale of 1-10 how crazy of a job this is for a veteran tree man. I’m 4 years in on the east coast side of things and this beast looks pretty dang intimidating!
You don't know frustration until you're subscribed to Clickspring. Great content, but God his release schedule is maddening. It took him 3 YEARS to do a 10 episode video series. He sometimes goes a year without posting a video right in the middle of a project series. Imagine having to wait 10 months for a new video.
this truely was a MONSTER tree!!! Thank you for sharing the information as it comes to you guys as your working. you could easily edit it out. I learn so much from you guys and youtube in general, it helps everyone besafer!!!! thank you GODSPEED BOI
Great job guys beautiful work love watching the videos after work cutting all day climbing haha August I spoke with petzl about the rope I was telling you about the Scan deer they said maybe there's a coating on it that needs to be worked off a little bit for it to grab better does that sound right to you it doesn't slip much maybe a quarter of an inch but I love the rope
@@AugustHunicke I cannot figure out for the life of me why it's slipping a little bit like I said it's maybe a quarter of an inch to a half inch and then it grabs but none of my other ropes do it I love that rope a lot man that's the best rope I ever used I think I got it because of your recommendation and it is well worth it I'll just keep using it and just be careful and see what happens thank you so much God bless you stay safe
I saw a monster multi-head white pine across the street today at work while I was 120' up a Douglas fir that I was dead wooding wishing I was in the pine cutting it down. P.S. I did a bucket insert and was spurless climbing limb to limb in the fir...in the rain...3-4' between branches...
I've had those husky saw "overheat" where the battery isnt dead but with big wood like this sometimes it kills it. It'll flash red like its dead but turning it on and off like you did helps. I'm sure yours was actually low battery in this situation but js. Also thank you for these videos! I learn a lot from them. I did my biggest pine removal today actually (going back tomorrow for neighboring) and I was thinking about part 1 of this. Also I'm in Ashland, OR and its the coolest thing that you're practically a local.

Props to Damien for swallowing a bit of pride and allowing August to showcase a better cutting method so others can learn to do better, when they can.
Darn I'm glad I turned off cable. I would've never found your channel.
Your content just keeps getting better.
Thank you August.

Cut a Buckeye top down, it split, 5 times past the limb stump on then saddle with a running chainsaw, not good!
If I was a neighbor, it would be with a recliner, binoculars, and a cooler of beer (which I would surely share, when the saws died down (Pop for August!)) ! Anxiously awaiting Part 3 !

Those were thoughtful remarks about releasing heavy limbs. I didn't even consider the way a split could pry open the slip knot holding the limb.
Funky tree, awesome job. Must've been up there in cool jobs done. Small tree? Editing, Jacob?

Kudos to Damien for taking the crit as a learning experience, just shows how well you guys work as a team.

How tall did that tree end up being and how long did it take to get done?
It was quite tall.!

By the time the battery is dead, the saw probably needs to be lowered for more bar oil though.

Are the ropes used to tie you around the tree steel core or just cut resistant?
They're steel core probably but you can still cut through them with a saw. Don't ever think your gear is chainsaw proof.
Steel core

The magnitude lol.......fkn gnarly!!! Good one boys!
