You have inspired me to go from timber cutting professionally (Midwest lumber, veneer) to buying climbing gear and have a dream of a bucket truck and good sized chipper soon. I have done a few removal with houses and garages underneath thanks to your techniques my first whoopsie hasn’t happened yet.
August I've been watching for years now and the sequential peels away from obstacles has forced me to comment! That's one I'd never thought of! Thank you so much for sharing your joy in tree work, I have the same love and respect for the work I do here and always share your videos with greener climbers to compound and elaborate on points I make to them. Thanks for sharing your passion and attention to minutiae it's valuable to all of us in the tree game and even any line of work..
Thanks Cederick 👊🏼🤠 that cut is cool on certain woods in certain places because the “sequentialness” of it allows for a clearance arc unattainable with one (unrigged) cut. Also, peel-hold is more sure, weight wise, incrementally, than all at once.
I been a logger for 45 years have a lot of different cuts and ways to fall them and depending what kind of tree as well as other factors we lfearn the short cuts tricks. I wrong before there is a difference between a surgeon August Hunicke and a butcher me the logger I have told any people that it one thing is the same we are in very dangerous work and we all want to go home alive altogether . August I have worked with tree surgeons but I have to say you are one of the best I have every seen bless you my brother you are in my prayers. Love watching you.
I will never do what you do, ( one of those random non tree cutting guys that watches tree cutting content) 8-) but to see the skill and experience at work is amazing.
That Bar-Chain-Saw combinaton is perfect for that type of job and tree. It allowed you to quickly make all those different types of slices and cuts to get that tree down with very little rigging in a crowded corner of the yard quickly and safely with hazards abounding. I have that saw but don't have the Panther bar and 1/4 pitch chain yet. It's amazing how long it runs on one tank of gas as compared to my 201T. Thanks for all the great examples.
Ps you and your team, you’ve earned your place you and your team make it happen, that’s a lot of the battle is a man and his team nowadays it’s hard to come by, and that’s a loaded comment because you have surpassed a lot of battles and still battle every day to make shit happen but you have a team, a great team that helps you through, that’s hard to achieve 👍 good on you, keep it up you are admired by many
I just want to say Austin I enjoy watching the videos your excellent what you do keep up the good work and stay safe also tell your crew they do a good job and to stay safe as well I like cutting trees but I do it from the ground I learned a lot from the ground working with a with a tree company before but I've never learned to climb there's something I'd like to do in the future but I'm getting older and I got some bad news so it's probably not a good idea no more but I know the ground stuff tell your crew to stay safe and you have a blessed day from Chris Scott I live in Massachusetts so far away I live in Worcester Mass it's a near Boston Mass 49 mi anyway well you have a good day buddy
Looks like that smaller bar & chain really helps with how much gas the saw uses & so very nice & fast with that small kerf. Seems like the saw itself should last a lot longer with less cutting resistance so a win win:)
I have not seen a birch tree that big since I worked for Eric's Tree Service in Grants Pass Oregon. I'll be visiting Grants Pass this year to see my daughter. I would like to work for you a couple of days if that is possible.
Yes! Came across some of these cuts taking trees down without a ground guy. If you rig around HV circuits and mess up, you're putting your whole crew at risk. If you can take it, take it.
Slice isn't sketchy if you do the relief cut on the bottom then you don't have to be so aggressive on the finish cut and it eliminates the tip from bending over like you were saying, but it's honestly the best cut the have even when rigging you can tip tie by the wires drop cut/slice cut boom full piece easily worked
August when you fished in Alaska did you happen to run across Frank Richard he was a Captain fishing out of Dutch Harbor? That's my brother. He's with the Lord now. God Bless 🙏
so awesome as usual, i could never ever do that , i have chain saws and 2 bad trees one i will get rid of a jaquaranda the other i think is a plane tree oops too big for me.yeah i could climb it but have no clue how to safely bring it down its a very small space
You just have to make sure when you slice the branches out of the wires the branch doesn't touch the wire and you at the same time, you Might end up with a nice little bite of electricity to start the morning.
Thanks for sharing August. This is the first time I've commented but I've been watching you're videos for a minute! I just started a tree business in Idaho and can't get enough of it. I'm in the market for a chipper but I'm not sure what to get. I've only saved up 25k. Would you suggest I buy a used BC1000? What year/engine/brand is best in your opinion? What kind of echo were you climbing with? I use a 355T and love it but it probably wouldn't hurt to go lighter. Just started using the speedline kit I bought from Monkey Beaver. Works great! Thanks for making sick videos!
You might be able to get a bigger chipper from Morbark for less money than a Vermeer. Bigger is better… But I’m not sure what you need. I love Vermeer because I’m a big fan of the company ethics etc. but they are more expensive. Thanks for commenting.
I've noticed you seem to climb moving rope technique. Do you ever climb (srs)? I've climbed moving rope for over 25 years. Would you consider (srs) something people should learn, or just stick with the old tried, and true?
Hey August, I posted this question on one of your older videos, but thought you might see it here. You were having problems with your right arm/ elbow. Did you get it feeling better? What did you do to fix it? Thanks!
@@joshuap7501 Maybe get a company to come out(whether you do tree work or not) to give a bid and also explain how much more it will be as it rots and becomes more unpredictable/dangeous or needs more specialized(read expensive) equipment. That being said, some trees get easier as they rot when the difficult branches come down off the stem lol. Have a great friday :).
@@joshuap7501 that always helps. Whenever I'm doing a favor for someone and they question my prices I tell them, "yeah someone with more equipment and a couple guys may be able to do it cheaper" lol, they usually call back saying I had no idea. Also when the work starts happening and I have them doing ground work they respond the same way, "I had no idea it was this much work" 😅. Tree work ain't no joke, but you bust your tail for a few hrs a day and the rest is much less physical. If you bring your wife to a few sites guys are working on, maybe she will want to buy you a mini skid so she doesn't have to haul brush 😜. That will probably be one of my next purchases, just bought another Kubota tractor last week, a b2620, maybe when I sell the b2920 I'll get the mini.
3 1/2 minutes into it it wouldn't let me see it is scrambled the picture for some reason I couldn't she would only hear you. But it sounded good for a minute but I do watch all your other ones. :-) just letting you know
Man you use alot of different brands of saws I mean you pretty much use them all man I have only used stihls for the last 30 years I have used some of the big bore huskeys in the past but since Poulan bought them won't touch them.
@@AugustHunicke tea you can Google it but when you do it will say husky bought poulan but that's not true the parent company that owns poulan bought huskey and Johnsered.
Here I was worrying about your new truck getting brutalized by the crew and you're swing axes around in the cab while driving. Some very nice axes I will add though. Jeff needs a TH-cam channel. I'd like to check out his Instagram though.
I don't have ig, etc, but would love to watch a yt channel from the groundie's point of view. Including the throw line, which I find frustrating, even humiliating.
In your line of work you have a dangerous job, you say you don't believe in God, you better believe in God ¬ be so confident in yourself, because God will show you.
Mr. August there is a lot of people that watch you, of all sections of the totem pole, and I’m sure even some not even on the totem pole, don’t know it unless we know it, it’s all about choices, experienced choices keep it going till the next one, your videos are appreciated by the ones that know what you do, because the videos don’t do shit justice unless you’re actually up there doing it, videos by the ones that are experienced and know what they are doing make it look so easy but the ones that actually know appreciate the minimal camera effect, Long story short, you’re appreciated, keep doing you, you’ve earned it 💪🤠😎👍, i’ve climbed 20 years and I respect every video you put out
In line clearance there is a rule every company in the US teaches and enforces, when working near or over any primary lines always set your tie in point up so in the event of a slip the climber will not swing into the lines so it wouldve been best to use one of the spars behind you for tying in
Great job August! Freestyle is so much more fun especially with many targets to avoid. Birch has to be the world's most amazing hinge material its mind blowing how you can cut even large limbs and they almost never break free.
"Some entities somewhere, that I don't care about." August, I feel the same way. Safety is #1 but after working for Asplundh I realized that you can safety yourself out of a job or any profit. When you go to far with it. If your just gonna be extremely safe and cautious then dont climb the tree in the first place. I really appreciate you sharing the knowledge.
August, "can I keep 4 guys busy on the ground?" Also August,"yep!!" That was awesome to watch!! I enjoy the way you rip through those trees when you have the chance! The axes look great Jeff..
I have 3 trees that I needed trimmed, 1 is right at the corner of my house. I got 3 different quotes and the average of the 3 quotes was $8000. So, 3 weeks ago I bought a used 55ft bucket truck for $10,000 and about $1000 worth of equipment and, after watching your videos, I have been trimming my trees with great success... including some speed line cutting. One of the best things I've learned from your videos is how to cut a branch but leave enough that the branch hangs on until it's aimed straight towards the ground. But I still tie a safety line to it, before I cut it, if I need to make sure I have total control of the limb. I really enjoy your videos and have learned A LOT from them!!! Even if I loose $5000 when I sell the truck , which I don't think I will, I will still be money ahead and will have the satisfaction of learning a new skill. Thank You Sir!
Ah yes the dark arts of cutting👍🤙... Did line clearance when I first started tree work the slice cut (We called it spear cut cuz it came down like a spear) One of my favorites I have definitely almost screwed it up a couple of times though Dull saw or I zip through it at two horizontal of an angle and it's sat on the little spar 🤦... Been watching you for a lot of years man still love watching you You've taught me more than you'll ever know 👍🤙
I know you are careful but keep your distance from primary. We had to go pull a father son team out of a tree a few years ago. Son was grounding his farther when he cut a beach and it swung into primary killing him.
My neighbor is having trouble finding a crew to take down a dead walnut. Power lines to his house only on 2 sides. What you just took down looks way more difficult. Your experience shows in the different cuts that you use to place and position limbs where you want. I am not in the business but the whole crew in my opinion is exceptional. Jeff's axes make me want to join Instagram. I would be proud to own either one.
Tell your neighbor to call the power company and ask for forestry, Sometimes they will be willing to help and get the tree cut past the wires for you so then you can have it taken down the rest of the way. He might just have to call a few times and keep bugging them to come out and look at it though.
I work for top notch tree service and we love your videos! Plus we also need to sub you out on a upcoming job with your crane! Kyle will be in touch with ya! Keep up the good work! Love the videos!
@@AugustHunicke 150 a day right LOL. Great video, with many different techniques, and a great tree/yard to show them on. So much to learn, thanks for sharing.
Yur gonna have to rename monkey beaver to monkey beaver flying squirrel now that yur flyin. Haha great vids. Nice and safe tree work. Great for the new guys to see..
Thanks for the cut techniques August. It Looked like a difficult Tree,but that's what you specialize in. I learn more from the difficult ,and sketchy Trees. Great job.
I’m a vet like you and I relate to how you look at trees and go about it. My saw rips a 201 16inch and pept up. So I fast cut logs if needed. A lot of people think it’s in pushing a saw through a tree. It’s a finesse between just full throttle and a slightly pressure. I actually shake it if it starts to lug. I’m sure your understand what I mean. Your a true master and your trait. I’m a east coaster monster oaks and maples wires on one side homes on the other. And of course the ever plant life and yard yard imaginable. I’d done that Burch pretty much just like you did. But why that Echo. I hear it it’s ripping is the 200’s and 201’s to heavy. And yes my hands hurt so bad. My thumbs are hurting all day every day. Good day sir! Climb on!

Using 3 peel cuts to shorten a branches swing away from the roof and gutter is something to behold. Legendary details.

The way you manipulate the boughs to go where you want them to go is magic ❤️
Old school was and always will be the best style for production and will get you to the cooler faster too.
Great work. 15 years as a climber. I love doing this type of work without rigging, it makes one feel really good about there work.
That wedge banger is beautiful!

"Some entity somewhere that I don't care about."🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video showed me some really interesting techniques thank you for this. Very helpful
I love my old cruiser axe. Got it at a garage sale about 50+ years ago.
aaaaaah I never thought about waiting to cut it off when doing the spear trick and always got smacked hard. Learn something new every day!
Dang bro...you make it look so easy!
Birch is a great firewood,almost zero ash. Good video guys.💚🌳💚🌳👊👍
It has a high creosote content however and a steady burning of birch will clog up your chimney and increase the risk of a chimney fire.
Love the education you give up.
Impressive as always!
I’m interested in those axes 🪓 especially the wedge! I don’t have any socials, oh well great video ❤️✅🪵
Looks like that smaller bar & chain really helps with how much gas the saw uses & so very nice & fast with that small kerf. Seems like the saw itself should last a lot longer with less cutting resistance so a win win:)
Awesome video brother
I'm pretty sure rhat is the cruiser axe that is hanging on my wall now 😁 Red elm handle is beautiful.
Tying up to rotten branch seems more safe than playing with 2 sharp axes while driving :-D
Which one of the todays trees did you enjoy more?
Hmmm, same I guess

Love the freestyle. I’m sure there are those who cringe but I bet they are those who don’t
Watching a man that has that kind of experience and lore to draw from is simply a pleasure. Go team.
Would have like to have seen a ground cam to show the limbwalking on this one. Thanks for the lessons!

never gave the section peel cut much thought, it's an interesting concept.

I do “slice cuts” all the time . Nothing to big it’s nice to get slapped around by the branches wakes ya up a bit
That's a pretty good sized birch tree!

That decision about the cavity is something only tree people understand good job explaining but the average joe will never fully understand.

I’m a vet like you and I relate to how you look at trees and go about it. My saw rips a 201 16inch and pept up. So I fast cut logs if needed. A lot of people think it’s in pushing a saw through a tree. It’s a finesse between just full throttle and a slightly pressure. I actually shake it if it starts to lug. I’m sure your understand what I mean. Your a true master and your trait. I’m a east coaster monster oaks and maples wires on one side homes on the other. And of course the ever plant life and yard yard imaginable. I’d done that Burch pretty much just like you did. But why that Echo. I hear it it’s ripping is the 200’s and 201’s to heavy. And yes my hands hurt so bad. My thumbs are hurting all day every day. Good day sir! Climb on!
