    Hey August this is August. I’ve commented on a few of your videos in the past. I’m 18 and have been doing trees believe it or not for the past 4 1/2 years now. I work for the Tree service One Two Tree out of Grand Rapids MN. I would love to come help you guys for a week or so if you need any help. Witch I know you don’t actually need the help. but I would love to come join you guys. New adventures right!

    Another great video. One thing that really impressed me is that you did that whole black oak in a T-shirt. Every time I worked a black oak without long sleeves my arms ended up looking like I got in a fight with a badger; and lost.

    Awesome saw. I had one years ago, but mine didn't have any mods and just a 16inch bar. I sure loved that saw even though I wasn't an arborist. Yours is a beast, wow.

    18 Year's this week since I learned my climbing knot, put a saddle on, & trimmed my first tree professionally. Was joking with the young kid at work how I'm an absolute surgeon with my saws. (I am good but that's still a joke) August makes me look like an amateur, what a conplete cut master.

    HI August, nothing like unwinding after a long day with a big blow down red oak that was in torsion three ways, loaded a maple in a twist and ants...did i mention ants.... my hands are doing that buzzing nerve thing from many many tanks of gas through the husky. I loved every minute of it and look forward to more tomorrow. I really mean it , it is nice to unwind with one of your videos. my brain is still in chainsaw mode. Right on, George.

  • @MarshallBLewis

    Span rigging can be a saving grace in some occasions, but is slower & can be harder to hit an exact point when lowering the first cut.
    It's really nice for the climber though, because he doesn't have to have the rope swung to him every time. Definitely a good technique to have in the toolbox.

Do have the ECHO battery trim. Very slick for evening or city work. I use the 200’s every now and then. Feels heavy and clunky for most work.

    @eisenhowertreecare5215 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not hating just sharing my own experience - instead of using two ropes at the end when you were on that dog leg, I would suggest terminating the rigging line just below your cut and using a light duty block/pulley for a span rigging scenario. I saw you use spam rigging at the beginning of the video but I think you could have used it again when chucking down that wood. Personal it is my favorite way to get wood down without so much swing.

Just quite a bit wider angle than the 50mm lens on my old Nikon SLR. I view everything through my recollections of my experiences shooting through the lens onto my beloved Kodachrome.
