I just discovered your channel. I’m 81 and disabled, so I’m learning how to do all kinds of things on TH-cam! I’ll never be able to do them, but watching them is fun. I now know how to dive, operate tow trucks, drive off road, rebuild cars and trucks, and now I’ve learned how to dismantle a tree! Thanks for helping to keep me entertained! 😊 🇨🇦
I have a bone to pick with you Mr. Hunicke. I have a lot of work to do and as long as you keep putting out videos like this one and like all of your other ones, I will not get my water pump fixed, I will not tend to the electrical issues that I have do deal with. My plumbing will not fix itself when I am watching your content, my basement will not get cleaned out, the dishes will not get washed, my taxes will not get done and my stuff will fall apart. But anyway keep up the good work and I will continue watching your videos. There will be another day I can tend to my own stuff. I enjoy your channel.
This tree looked ordinary from the ground shots. But once you got up into the tops it seemed to take on another dimension and looked 10 times bigger. Loved the extra camera shots too!
August, when you changed the camera angle from pov to in the tree cam. That’s what separates you from the rest of the standard TH-camrs. It really showed how lateral the neighbours side of the tree was. Good use of the grcs on this tree! A small drop zone for the groundies to work in aswell. Big shoutout to them! And big love to Damien!❤ respect the hustle guys! 👌🏻
August, your videos are the best.. perfect balance of what we did and why we did it,with just the right amount of conversation and humor. Plus excellent camera and editing work. THANK YOU .....
I really I joyed this video august! We here in Kansas rarely get to do pines of any kind ! We mainly work on trees like this one, no main spar and skinny noodles to rig off of .you are and have been my mentor in the tree industry! Thank you for what you do for us !
Excellent video and content-I am sure the tree cam is a Lot of extra work but it shows an view we don't see often-and kudos to the Damien cam !! The rigging work is second to none !!!
Such a dope team, I love the longer format video, I dont run a bucket and we dont have a crane so videos like this help a newer tree guy like me whos only a few years in see whats possible, the GRCS was a gamechanger!!
*DAMIEN CATCH* and he does - then you send it back up to him & he continues to catch - *WHAT A TEAM* ! SO LUCKY you're so proactive to all the VARIABLE this tree has handed you guys! EXCITEMENT @ 20:00 with good recover! Novice "MAY" have been in trouble! *TEAM INTERACTION & COMMUNICATION - AT ITS BEST* thanks to you all!!!
Good job trees are spready here in UK some times they are as wide as they are tall over multiple yards Love watching you're videos have help out an lot
Boys I think that was your best video yet.. having to do everything manually and rigging was awesome.. you could have done some serious damage if you didn’t know what you were doing..
🌲❤️ Great video and editing 👍 Amazing what you can do with rigging and Your smarts 💫 The two at a time was cool, and Damien’s “Fish on” comment was priceless 😎
August'; "You might wanna hide Damien.....you're probably safe, never mind....." Damien; "Now I'm scared....." 😳😅 August; ".....I have to put the camera over here 'cause we got a hardhatless home owner that just ran in here....." 😆 MonkeyBeaver crew still havin' a good time and getting the hard work done. That looked like a really "fun" tree with the GRCS. 😉 Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲 Randy
Jingly, I wonder if anyone has thought they were hearing wind chimes only to look up and see an arborist. The one you had a little fight with made me nervous at 20:00. As always a thoroughly enjoyable video, blessings sir!
A complicated but important rigging system in the tree with the ropes. Important to distribute the loads. Sometimes it shook very strongly as in a strong earthquake when large branches were sawn off. It looked funny, 😆but it was certainly a bit dangerous. Good double team in the tree. 👌🏽💪🏼
Special thank you for all the time time you take for video shots. That looks like a typical tree around here. Ash trees are about gone here. The Asian Ash borer has killed most of them. The 100 year old one across the street finally was removed. Limbs just falling off them with little or no warning. take care - hope the crew / family and you are doing well.
@9:30. August, I understand the production nature of this work but really appreciate you taking extra time/effort to get the full view for us. Personally, I have benefited so much over the last 4 years of watching this channel. You have shared so many practical tips. Plus, I don't go a day without using Speed Line straps. I will definitely be picking up a Monkey Beaver kit this month. I got a pick kick out of "we must be in Florida" comment that you made. This is how 90% of trees are for us!
Man you guys have that complex geometry (Geometree?) figured out. Very satisfying viewing. You guys are pro's and safe too. Treeific (terrific) to watch you all work!
Enjoyed the video. Really a great vision into multi-stem rigging. Now that is the playground for August Hunicke. Lots of planning/figuring, rigging & cutting along with a bunch of knowledgeable chatter. And the many camera angles was a real treat....lots of effort to set up and edit....but "Dyn-O-Mite!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You can’t beat those Pirate carabiners. I love love love mine. I terminate my climb line with one, then run the bite through a srt (drt) taz love luv2? I have on a quick draw using a prusik and double lock (I hate triple lock binders) petzle O.. the prusik is girth hitched to my bridge ring, then the O, then the taz (gri gri etc) is at the end. I orentate it so it slides on the spine of the O as I unfold it, to my hip D. So it is/can be attached twice. (Double Safety ;) I love it. Just open it, flip it over my hip D, and drop it, it orientates itself (to the luv2) for the rappel.. That way, I use my climb line as a safety, going up. I got another rig on the other side ( “X” two-infinitely adjustable safeties/ work position safeties ;) that’s just a prusik and pulley on a 5/8 arbor plex about 25’ long. So I can use both going up. Use different ropes/beiners for ez ID. Just get to a branch pitch one off throw it over pull the adjust till desired and then do the other side. Stays tied in twice, and, having the taz on a quick draw as long as I have my climber clicked in (my Pirate) on the other side if I slip I’m still tied in with the quick draw so it’s like a double/triple safety if I happen to gaff out at that precise moment.
This looks like tree work in MN. I’ve used the GRCS many times. But prefer to use the bollard on my branch manager grapple. My dingo can pull rope much faster than the GRCS.
Hey August! That looked like a lotta fun! I'm hoping to get back into a tree soon! It was good to see the hiccups too- like cutting just a little too much hinge on that one pick, and how you dealt with it. Great Video!
Whew!! Some of those made me pucker! 🫣 August and Damien are an incredible team! I bet the homeowner and neighbors are glad to have that tree gone for a lot of reasons! Leaves, property damage, etc. Awesome job, gentlemen!! 🙌🏼
August and Damien, this Video the best what i see from Your. This is great Class the Perfect Co-Operationen in great Height! Make Memory by my on the Time how Artist in the Circus Dome Work on the Trapeze. Thanks Your Wonderful. 🏆
Great job guys!💪 We do a lot of knarly hard woods here where I'm located. Always thought it would be cool to do some of those huge conifers like you do! You guys do great work!!
hi August, I am enjoying and picking up valuable clues & pointers watching you do what you do so thank you,, that being said I would really like to know what your climbing line specs are and what Rigging lines you prefer,,, hopefully you or one of your viewers will be able to help me out with this,,,, thanks again and pls keep em coming.
Here in the east we don't have the very tall trees like in Oregon. We do have trees with limbs as big as tree trunks out west. Use to have very tall trees but our Hemlocks are all gone now...
The ol'spirngpole action, forestry engineering an arithmetics can only be achieved from the naturally occurring phenomenon of the man with the most common of senses. You'll know when you've met a man of this caliber, he will not nor can be bothered with worldly conditions.
Ahhh Love it when you do tree's like this, just sooo wish I could be there to take it all in ❤ I'll definitely be watching this one again !!! Just wish I could be a fly on the wall/spar to see every little detail !!! Thank you so much August and crew !!! ❤ Really wanted to see Jeff climb in your gear 😀
Are you using a Petzl open ring to connect the MB harness to the Petzl rope grab? I tried to use a Petzl micro swivel to do that for a lanyard, but the open end won't fit through the hole in the rope grab. :-/
In case you don't get an answer I would guess Damien about 200 and maybe 6' after seeing him in person ? As far as a bouncer... I doubt it ?? But don't know 😂😂
I empathize with your situation at 20:00. I've never over-estimated how much hinge I could cut or how much I thought I could swing a limb but I think I can imagine how I would feel if I did and I just want you know I'm here for you if you need to talk about it.
The “you tube committee ” 12 to 40…..live in their parents basement…….wear tin foil caps when on line.😀….wow that was a blood pressure moment for a second!
I started this video telling myself, "i won't watch it all. I'll just skip through it real quick. It's too long and too late to watch the whole video. 5 minutes tops." I'm now at 34:18 watching it straight through unable to pass up any of the video. About 9 more minutes til I can get back to what i needed to be doing 45 minutes ago.
So, I have a tree service and I have been recently trying different ways to price jobs since I always seem to be too high or too low. I don’t have a great system for pricing… what should a tree service be charging for a job like this? 4 guys, doing technical rigging all day. 5,000? 7000? I may have said 5500, but it’s just a feeling. Does anyone have a system to reliably give a good profit margin while also being fair? Any feedback is helpful! Thanks
Dose any professional riging tree I need some help with a cutting project I only got one branch to tie in to tree and don’t got a boom Truck I can do small climbing cutting but can’t do cutting after with one branch riging

OOOOH! Look at August and Damien slumming with us plebs in the Midwest with our super wide trees. I like it!
This tree looked ordinary from the ground shots. But once you got up into the tops it seemed to take on another dimension and looked 10 times bigger. Loved the extra camera shots too!

I appreciate all the extra effort in gettting the shots.
I love the way you guys work, the accuracy, the humour, the care; brilliant
I really I joyed this video august! We here in Kansas rarely get to do pines of any kind ! We mainly work on trees like this one, no main spar and skinny noodles to rig off of .you are and have been my mentor in the tree industry! Thank you for what you do for us !
I appreciate the extra effort for the camera shots. Shows how much thought reflects the complexity of the rigging.
That's why I love watching you go the extra mile and it's always worth the shot be safe climb high cut smart
Excellent video and content-I am sure the tree cam is a Lot of extra work but it shows an view we don't see often-and kudos to the Damien cam !!
The rigging work is second to none !!!
Such a dope team, I love the longer format video, I dont run a bucket and we dont have a crane so videos like this help a newer tree guy like me whos only a few years in see whats possible, the GRCS was a gamechanger!!
This is quite a tree ! Plus the 2 of you work extremely well together. I enjoy your channel! Thank you for sharing! 👌

Amazing as always, watching you guys never gets old, just keeps getting better 🙏🙏🙏
😂
‘Sensuous trees’
Like, “since you was here, could you cut that little maple down too.”
I’m glad you find it amusing. Great work as always.
Don't you just love it when the homeowner wants to help.
Nice to have skilled groundhogs, isn't it. Great teamwork above and below, I think.
Good job trees are spready here in UK some times they are as wide as they are tall over multiple yards
Love watching you're videos have help out an lot
You are truly amazing at tree removal. Hope all tree services make your channel mandatory.
It's great to watch your team work,planning, and execution . Nice job. I'm always learning something new from you all. Thanks
Boys I think that was your best video yet.. having to do everything manually and rigging was awesome.. you could have done some serious damage if you didn’t know what you were doing..
The intersection of art, science and God’s grace!❤❤❤
🌲❤️ Great video and editing 👍 Amazing what you can do with rigging and Your smarts 💫 The two at a time was cool, and Damien’s “Fish on” comment was priceless 😎

August; ".....I have to put the camera over here 'cause we got a hardhatless home
owner that just ran in here....." 😆
MonkeyBeaver crew still havin' a good time and getting the hard work done.
That looked like a really "fun" tree with the GRCS. 😉
Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲
Randy
Oh the wide trees, so much fun. What a great job. Super cool shots.
Great filming! Love to see you guys in a tree like this. Shows your versatile skill set! Awesome to see rigging this efficient.
What a seminar on arborist engineering :) Teamwork ...
Another GREAT job by the 'Beavers'!!! A bit long, but wouldn't have been right any shorter... Thanks!
You and your team are the best and fun to watch! Although you standing on that cut branch kind of scared me. 😮 😊 We Love your videos!
Awesome video! You can tell you guys climb more tall straight trees than sprawling trees and it’s cool to see the discomfort. Great job guys
Another great vid thanx!!! Looking forward to the podcast!!!
I love it. You always listen to your gut!
Jingly, I wonder if anyone has thought they were hearing wind chimes only to look up and see an arborist. The one you had a little fight with made me nervous at 20:00. As always a thoroughly enjoyable video, blessings sir!
A shot for the Monkey Beaver calendar: August up a tree in his speedos ! Thanks for the image !
That double shot was cool, I thought I was looking at a mirror image to begin with.
You are a great team. Nice to watch your conversations and work. At min 26 a small wedge would be nice. 👍
Loved the hinged tallboy alongside the church building😂😂❤❤ I'll have to watch more later....
Remember, if you can't do tree work, watch tree work!!!
Multi tasking, I like it. You removed the tree and mulched the neighbours garden at the same time.😁 Great work as always, and everyone goes home safe!
Thank you for this video, I have a 70ft oak tree by my house I am planning to climb to take down.
A complicated but important rigging system in the tree with the ropes. Important to distribute the loads. Sometimes it shook very strongly as in a strong earthquake when large branches were sawn off. It looked funny, 😆but it was certainly a bit dangerous. Good double team in the tree. 👌🏽💪🏼
August awesome take down friend.!!! Thanks for sharing buddy”
August: "Am I still blinking?"
Me: "Yes, and I hope you keep blinking for many more years." 👍
August at his best. Nice work guys
Special thank you for all the time time you take for video shots. That looks like a typical tree around here. Ash trees are about gone here. The Asian Ash borer has killed most of them. The 100 year old one across the street finally was removed. Limbs just falling off them with little or no warning. take care - hope the crew / family and you are doing well.
Wow! That was amazing to watch! Applied physics at work!

Refreshing to see you on this type of job.
This is what we do regularly in the UK on a domestic take down.
Finally something that is not a straight stick
I'm glad you take the extra time to get the good camera angles . Nice video
Man you guys have that complex geometry (Geometree?) figured out. Very satisfying viewing. You guys are pro's and safe too. Treeific (terrific) to watch you all work!
That was skilled tree removal!
I run the Hobbs instead of the GRCS, and when you need it, you NEED IT!
Greatest channel ever!!

When August mentioned the couch for the podcast I honestly wanted to see it 😂
Whew!! Some of those made me pucker! 🫣 August and Damien are an incredible team! I bet the homeowner and neighbors are glad to have that tree gone for a lot of reasons! Leaves, property damage, etc.
Awesome job, gentlemen!! 🙌🏼
I'm my opinion, regarding hitting the patio cover. If in question, take a smaller piece. Have to say, I'd love to be in the tree with you.
Nice no slow rope action. Yee didnt need it. Great vid thanx'
I would love to see a travor style "raw" video of this one!
August and Damien, this Video the best what i see from Your. This is great Class the Perfect Co-Operationen in great Height! Make Memory by my on the Time how Artist in the Circus Dome Work on the Trapeze. Thanks Your Wonderful. 🏆

I know that the ground crew doesn’t always get air time but what happened to Adam I haven’t seen him on the crew ? Good job in the tree !!
My hero… Damian
..................Top result!
good teamwork
thks
Right on fillin space an testing limits 👊
Dig the edits at 4:33 👍🏻
August, have mercy on your back 😅😮
Fun team to watch
Just like the Midwest. 50ft tall and 60ft wide all week long
at 29.12 im gunna need another battery for this saw... i got one...fires n screams 201 lmao made me laugh for a good minute
Ahhh Love it when you do tree's like this, just sooo wish I could be there to take it all in ❤
I'll definitely be watching this one again !!! Just wish I could be a fly on the wall/spar to see every little detail !!! Thank you so much August and crew !!! ❤ Really wanted to see Jeff climb in your gear 😀
Pro!
Yip the thro ball blues. Somedays it diamonds others not so much.

💪 what a great bunch of guys! You guys Rock! Quick question. Did Damien used to be a bouncer? And how much does Damien weigh?
In case you don't get an answer I would guess Damien about 200 and maybe 6' after seeing him in person ?
As far as a bouncer... I doubt it ?? But don't know 😂😂
Great. Thanks for the reply!💪
@Woodrats272xp Spent a little time with them at TCI Expo St Louis... but that doesn't mean I know anything.... they seem great though !!!! ❤️❤️

#getaugustto200k
Just curious could you have put a butt tie on some of the really far away ones or would it have been more work for no reason

How many guys do you have on your crew?
Off Topic Question: Where can I buy those shoes you re wearing. Im from Germany I can t find these boots..
Dose any professional riging tree I need some help with a cutting project I only got one branch to tie in to tree and don’t got a boom
Truck I can do small climbing cutting but can’t do cutting after with one branch riging
if i was up the tree that far away from the ground . i be scared.
