great job....thats a bummer that u gotta look at that church without the tree now. I have cut trees at places i didnt want to, & i still picture it there in my head everytime i go by it. i shed a tear of sap!
Great Job! Loved the Golden Earring selection. Tell the spa people not to resist what is, but to meditate on the hum of the chipper and saws, and on the impermanence of all organisms.(atlas cedar)
John Durant Ha ha,many is the time with my head in the chipper,that I have felt at one with the vibration of the universe! It's a deeper experience without ear defenders...
This video touched a few feelers. Took a job tearing down the church I was married in. Some of the most beautiful vertical clear grain I will ever see. Lesson learned if it touches you somehow then build something out of the wood so that it may live on.
I love seeing how your mind works in trees, the heart and knowledge you possess is undeniable, You do what you have to do and make the best of it, no excuses and all results, God bless Monkey beaver crew.
Nothing quite like cutting down specimen trees. The way that I have always looked at it, is that I am grateful to have been the one to do it. Rather than be cut down by some crackhead "tree guys" who don't care one iota; We, at least, can absorb the essence of the tree into our hearts as the deed is done. Attach ourselves to the history, the things it's seen and heard..
Shane Allen - Yeah, good point about the fun aspect! I feel like once it's gotta happen, you might as well enjoy the process! And, to be honest, an old dog likes to spike nice cushiony trees as often as possible these days, Lol...😝
Samuel Luria bucket work is a nice break from the physical aspect of our job but the freedom of movement on a lifeline and spikes is why i started my career. this was my hobby for 10 years before it became my career and i still love it
Never easy to please everyone, funny how it always works out that we (the contractors)are the evil middle man trying to keep both sides of the street clean and tidy!
The more I watch your videos the more inspired I become, I've slain my share of big trees I've tried to spare but at the end of the day someone is gonna do it, but some are harder than others.
Sooooo good,soundtrack really matched the work,enjoyed the spinning drone footage and too many other bits to mention. fantastic august..your takin it to a new level.
Wow, cool video, cool tree, cool work. Time to plant a little one to take its place, I suppose they have. Thanks, great work on the video also. Appreciate it.
Isn’t it ironic that the salon / “massage” parlor states that you were interfering with their nature ambiance, yet they utilize products that are tested on animals.
A tree can be a beautiful thing that took along time to develop into that state. In captivity, they need to managed for civilization's sake. It's truly a shame to destroy a living tree that's manageable. I feel you...
I love that sound track! I do feel the same way when cutting down old beautiful trees that have been vital to the amazing scenery in my area. It is like we as arborists are life givers and life takers. We help trees that are overgrown to be more productive by pruning. Then when our clients want it, we take the life of some times 100+ year old trees. I have suggested not to remove big beautiful trees before most of the time it falls on deaf ears. Great video once again!
Hey August shame to see that blue Atlantic go! I reduced one last year that the client wanted removed. They are sooo pleased they took my advice and didn't remove it. Persuading the customer that reducing it is harder than removing it is harder!! Also I love how cedars react to formative pruning compared to other coniferous species!! much respect as with all your work.
Hi August, have never commented but I like your comment on the tree. You have a big heart and a lot of feeling, which will take you to the end. The tree did not belong in that enviroment and it did have to come down, too bad. You do great work and it is fun to watch you climb. Keep up the good work. I am writing from Europe and I think you are in Seaside. Great place. My cousin is in Astoria, all very wonderful places. Keep doing what you are doing. Jon
Damn, it would have been great if someone could have transported that bottom section to Nathan in Tennessee over at the Out Of The Woods TH-cam site so he could slab it on his bench saw and show us the magic inside. Then maybe the church could have had pews and/or a new cross mad out of the wood. As always August, awesomely presented video.
Rosario Garcia - That's another good point, about the farewell climb! Didn't even think of that, but now that you say it, it sounds extremely likely. Stay safe, Rosario! It's 18° F with 40mph gusts in New Jersey today....
Good to have feelings too. It makes you take good decisions. Not being a slayer to trade and so on. I see why you had difficulties taking it down. Beautiful tree and shape
You keep setting the bar higher and higher!! This video was awesome the angles the music the footage the editing!! On so many levels!! Not the biggest tree u have done but the total package makes it just as fun to watch as the bigger trees!!
True how true~ Arborists know the badge of caregiver and undertaker..we transfer the energy like the humble stewards that we are... You are so efficient with your vermeer handling brush and logs..NICE..!!! Exceptional work August..!!
I know what you mean not wanting to take a tree down. We removed a huge, healthy cottonwood (97" in diameter) that had dried up a shallow well for a rancher. Understood removing it, but it was such a neat tree with not another cottonwood around for miles. Nice tosses in the video! I always look forward to when you post a new video!
so...big fan, nice job as always. Now let's talk about me! I'm in a small town in southeast Indiana where people want their large trees trimmed up like bonsai trees. Plenty of Jims willing to do it too! I try to educate when I get the calls, but it's amazing how many people ignore me and move on to the next guy who's happy to do it! And then a few years later wonder why it has SO much dead! All just a day at the office I suppose. I feel like I should put out a local PSA or something!
Just a great vidio turn your volume all the way up Great sound track it reminds me of Law the beastRing Boy's has done it again ! Great crew. give them a detour sign and a stop light . No bird watching M
I've seen that tree for the past umpteen years. I'm shocked they chose to remove it but i know the damage roots can cause.Haven't been to town lately but could imagine it looks a lot different now. Sad to see such a beautiful tree gone forever.Nice work though !
Great video! Nice example of well done work, edited to keep it interesting and entertaining. I especially like how you showed the viewer the bushes you had to avoid, as the branches were landing between them.
Thos video was amazing, I hope to one day be as skilled and agile as you are up in the trees. But here in Ohio it's a whole different thing. Love your videos tho, got me interested and started climbing. Now I'm the climber for the crew when we need it. Most of the time we use the bucket but when we need to I go up there and work with the knuckle boom. I love this life.
The Cedrus Atlantica glauca is a beautiful tree ! This one still had a lot of growing to do especially widthways ! Best suited for parks or large estates ! Classic case of wrong tree for the space !!
I often, when working full time doing tree stuff, refused to take down trees that were in good locations and healthy. I know someone else will do the job but not me!
OK August, I'm gonna have to watch that again. I like it. Great editing, great rope work, great precision bombing.....good stuff. .....and the comment/sub title/explanation at 6:26, more good stuff. You've got a good crew for sure. I agree, a beautiful tree, sad to see it go. Keep yourself safe. Randy
any other tree company would have hammered out those shrubs! Great job, I also love the rage against the machine at the church. lol. I was just thinking how lucky we are to be using cranes to remove tres vs. rigging all the time and all the additional physical work involved to properly do that. Good stuff man. hope to see you again out here on the west coast.
That was a beautiful tree. Like your style mate reminds me of myself. I managed to convince a customer last week the they should keep theirs and just thin it though.
Late to the party, sorry! I just went to Google Maps, and the satellite view is from before the removal, but Street view is after. Loved the video! Y'all look like you're having a lot of fun!
I feel much the same, I'm classed as a tree person, a tree 'surgeon' well in fact, 90% of my work is removals. what kinda surgeon assassinates 90% of their patients? food for thought !
A lot of people go to the doctor months too late, they dread the answer so keep putting the visit off, then when they do go it's way too late. So I suppose it's the same with trees, I feel it's a sin not to look after plants and trees that maybe we have put in the wrong place and expect them to just grow and be healthy by them selves. That was a super tree and it was just doing it's own thing. as nature intended,
Great job,nice precision. I noticed some limbs were roped,but still essentially in free fall? Is this just to control bounces/flips once the piece hits the ground? Love your defence of climbing versus bucket,they have their place on site specific jobs,but for me they're just another target!
Blacked out trim saw, black vermeer "even if it is a placeholder", big tree, and rage against the machine. You just made my year
haha, thanks
August Hunicke If it were up to me, I'd tear the church down and leave the tree!.......Just saying...
+Gary Hull haha, I don't want to say me too but I'm kind of thinking it.
Watch his video called "Gutter Ball" at 2:48.
Communist metal has never been more groovy than Rage. Che would be proud
So beautiful job and video ! It's cinema level! You're really genius!
great job....thats a bummer that u gotta look at that church without the tree now. I have cut trees at places i didnt want to, & i still picture it there in my head everytime i go by it. i shed a tear of sap!

Have to agree, that was one beautiful tree. A crying shame it had to go.
Well done.
Had the privilege to prune a Lebanese cedar once. Fully mature, must have been over 100yrs old. So majestic
We knew you had passion for your work, now you have shown us you also have compassion in your soul. Bless you. Brain Rabbits
What a great video even the second time. Super cool tunes.
I've been binge watching your channel for a month now
I think this is my favorite video
Great group of guys
Great work
You were made for this
Another great composition. I learn a lot and am highly entertained. Great channel. 👍
fabulous video coverage. I love those trees. sucks when they have to be cut, but a lot of fun and easy cutting. like butta
yes that is sad.......... well put together video stunning sound track.. cheers
that was a really beautiful tree, August! I can relate to why you were so sad to take it down.
merry Christmas to you, and your family!

Samuel Luria i share that sentiment. damn shame to be bringing down an ideal tree like that but what an honor!... not to mention fun
Shane Allen - Yeah, good point about the fun aspect! I feel like once it's gotta happen, you might as well enjoy the process! And, to be honest, an old dog likes to spike nice cushiony trees as often as possible these days, Lol...😝
Stay safe, and WARM tomorrow everybody!!!
Samuel Luria bucket work is a nice break from the physical aspect of our job but the freedom of movement on a lifeline and spikes is why i started my career. this was my hobby for 10 years before it became my career and i still love it
I go by places in my town all the time and wished I were the one that could of took down that specimen
Never easy to please everyone, funny how it always works out that we (the contractors)are the evil middle man trying to keep both sides of the street clean and tidy!
Profound comment.
...the line in the sand with the angry on one side the calm on the other...bring both to the line...and shake hands...
The more I watch your videos the more inspired I become, I've slain my share of big trees I've tried to spare but at the end of the day someone is gonna do it, but some are harder than others.
Sooooo good,soundtrack really matched the work,enjoyed the spinning drone footage and too many other bits to mention.
fantastic august..your takin it to a new level.
Wow! Incredible skill. Trees are magnificent. The more time i spend with them, the more magnificent i become.
Killing in the name of.... perfect song for this job.
Absolutely love choices of music Keep up Man
WOWZERS. That was a beautiful tree. Amazing video brother.
Wow, cool video, cool tree, cool work.
Time to plant a little one to take its place, I suppose they have.
Thanks, great work on the video also.
Appreciate it.
That would’ve been an awesome tree for climbing. And very aesthetically pleasing
Isn’t it ironic that the salon / “massage” parlor states
that you were interfering with their nature ambiance, yet they utilize products
that are tested on animals.
The true irony is having the balls to say that in front of a healthy tree being cut down.
Tested on animals, Hell, my shirt was tested on animals - didn't fit
@@tobyalting I'll cut 2 down just for you.
In the newspaper article it says the tree was planted to honor God, the decision to have it cut down tells you all you need to know about this church.
This is my personal favorite, so far. The Rage Against the Machine was proper for that one! Well done!
I hate that the tree had to go but I'm glad it was taken by someone who appreciated it.
A tree can be a beautiful thing that took along time to develop into that state. In captivity, they need to managed for civilization's sake. It's truly a shame to destroy a living tree that's manageable. I feel you...
Awesome job, August, a model for me, thank you and keep going!

Top man! High quality work high quality video edition! Aloha from Big Island from a Brazilian tree man!
Hey August shame to see that blue Atlantic go! I reduced one last year that the client wanted removed. They are sooo pleased they took my advice and didn't remove it. Persuading the customer that reducing it is harder than removing it is harder!! Also I love how cedars react to formative pruning compared to other coniferous species!! much respect as with all your work.
Great music to your video. Great work
The music was everything 👌👌
This will always be my favorite video. It’s just such a big, beautiful, tangled, gnarly tree, and you handle it with such skill and precision.
Beautiful! You're music is perfect. Love it. You even synchronized yourself dancing around the tree. Hilarious stuff. I've been missing out.
Rage Against The Machine track. Truly inspired. Brilliant.
You're so darn accurate with those branches and chunks going between the bushes you're saving from being crushed.
Hi August, have never commented but I like your comment on the tree. You have a big heart and a lot of feeling, which will take you to the end. The tree did not belong in that enviroment and it did have to come down, too bad. You do great work and it is fun to watch you climb. Keep up the good work.

Wow August that was impressive. Great rhythm between you and your team.
Rosario Garcia - That's another good point, about the farewell climb! Didn't even think of that, but now that you say it, it sounds extremely likely. Stay safe, Rosario! It's 18° F with 40mph gusts in New Jersey today....
Beautiful, beautiful tree.
Good to have feelings too. It makes you take good decisions. Not being a slayer to trade and so on. I see why you had difficulties taking it down. Beautiful tree and shape

Travor Ahern - Everybody's a wise guy...

Very well done there nice job and great work

No bird watching

I've seen that tree for the past umpteen years. I'm shocked they chose to remove it but i know the damage roots can cause.Haven't been to town lately but could imagine it looks a lot different now. Sad to see such a beautiful tree gone forever.Nice work though !
I love your videos and this one was a killer the music choices were so perfect especially for the circumstances. Very entertaining. Thank you.
roughwater thanks ya the inner turmoil of an artist peeking through
Them darn MET ODIST anyhow. Oh and BTW thanks for the awesome music.
What a wonderful hymn for a church job, lol...
Great video! Nice example of well done work, edited to keep it interesting and entertaining. I especially like how you showed the viewer the bushes you had to avoid, as the branches were landing between them.
Beautiful tree!!
Looked like fun swinging between cuts!
Great tunes too

You and your outfit are so pro and so is your videoing of it!
Could make a Beautiful table from that Beautiful Tree ! Sad to see it come down !
Thos video was amazing, I hope to one day be as skilled and agile as you are up in the trees. But here in Ohio it's a whole different thing.

Man that was an awesome video. Well done, both with the tree work and the editing. Super cool.
Nice tree, nice take-down!👍
Very sad! It was such a beautifully shaped tree.
just awesome!
Wow bro, that blew my mind!!!!!
Love it bro. Favorite one yet.
Your channel rules dude.
any other tree company would have hammered out those shrubs! Great job, I also love the rage against the machine at the church. lol.
I was just thinking how lucky we are to be using cranes to remove tres vs. rigging all the time and all the additional physical work involved to properly do that. Good stuff man. hope to see you again out here on the west coast.
Cranes 👍🏽 yes
That was a beautiful tree. Like your style mate reminds me of myself. I managed to convince a customer last week the they should keep theirs and just thin it though.
The editing on this video is impressive
And he said "I'm ashamed of meself" lol. I love listening to Reg videos
It's nice you appreciate the beauty of trees, and that was a beauty. It looks like someone was taking the wood. Will they mill it?
Late to the party, sorry! I just went to Google Maps, and the satellite view is from before the removal, but Street view is after. Loved the video! Y'all look like you're having a lot of fun!
Great editing!
A very beautiful tree
Nice job august !! but poor cedar 😢 he looks like great
brillant director !
