Well executed August.👍🏻👍🏻 Just a suggestion … I always take my metal detector and pinpointer with me to check for nasties before cutting. Who knows who’s put up bird boxes, washing lines and tree houses etc in the past. It’s not infallible but has saved me hours of sharpening
Fantastic episode August! The production you created with the different angles and the “ride along” feel at the beginning was fun. The tree going over and then upside-down down the hill… 😳wicked
August is definitely a cut above. Even working solo, he is able to fell the tree and offer us a ringside seat that a film crew could not top. I noticed he set one camera within 6 feet of the drop zone. He fired up the drone to give us the aerial perspective and returned to finish off the job he started. Well done.
That was so cool! Never watched one nearly drop out of sight, great camera footage. I did one last year almost the same layout, the deck was actually contoured around 1/4 of the tree. We dismantled the rail which was nailed into the stem. I started the humboldt just above the deck working from the deck. We roped it, it was dead and a wee bit punky with a little back lean over a cabin. It flopped in the dirt, not impressive, no dramatic crashing disappearing over a chasm. THAT was impressive! Blessings Sir, You and your family have a wonderful Christmas. BTW I love my new Monkey Beaver 1, now I need to learn to use it.
I spent my life doing risky things with all the confidence in the world. But August, you got B.ls and skills that was on my top 10 drops. Thx 4 that experience, very cool!! 💪😆👍
August I have a Christmas present coming to your shop. Thank you for all of your help; you take time out of your life to better others! I appreciate you 👍. Have a Merry Christmas/ safe-happy new year.
🌲❤️ Remember to 👍 Wowzers, the force of that humongous tree, your impressive videography and tree surgeon skills ... STUPENDOUS 💫 Always a treat to watch your videos! Thanks August
I have been watching you for year's and most times it is a repeat of something. Not today. I am not easily impressed impressed, but today was a WOW! Tight quarters on the house for you. WELL DONE.
Love how it slid down there perfectly and tucked out of view. Good confident decision making like usual. I often struggle with those big decisions first thing in the morning.
Great work! I read most of the comments looking for the Tree Cutting Karens being critical of your work. Found none! Perfect example of the hinge guiding the tree in the desired direction. Glad you were able to film the fall from multiple angles. 👍🏻🇺🇸🍺
I know I wasn't there and I'm only looking through a key hole but WOW !!! With the house and buildings that one took some major thought !!!! Then ad the deck where it was and Dang !!! Most of us mere mortals would've prolly had ta put a pull line in that one cause we forgot our diapers at home 🤣🤣 Every hat I own is off to ya on another sketchy one Mr August 👍👍❤❤
That was so badass ! Awesome video ! You might not think it but this was seriously one of the better videos Ive watched in a few months ! You're a legend !
There's something about this video that stands out and makes it very satisfying to watch. I don't know if it's this or that, but as a whole the video is 100% 🏁 And the wild thing is that August was there working by himself. I guess his crews gets some satisfaction by watching it via the tube.
Good thing they called you or this would have been one of those amazing tree fail videos where u hold ur breath as it’s destroying a building for sure. Great work brother and happy holidays to you and your family .
Very well done ! I was scared just watching you in that corner. I an a big fan of, "When she starts to move, run!" You passing behind, I held my breath.
You have always amazed me I have learned a lot from you, you are truly the best I did it for over 25 years I still do it a little for my firewood but I get that exiteted feeling just watching you your amazing
By far one of the best “solo” vids I have seen, gotta trust your instincts and ability sometimes. More often than not, it works out. We all know you wouldn’t have tried it if you didn’t think you could do it. You’re the man August ! SO DIALEDDDDD!!!!!!😅😂
Man i get so sketched out making the face cut on large trees. It always feels like I'm doing too much. Kudos to people who make it seem way easier than it is to connect all the dots.
It's always great to have some flop and leaves in the corner pocket for slow season. That tree was not very happy down there 😆. Thanks for sharing the process.
No ground crew, no large equipment cluttering up the work area. Just a man & his tools against this beast of a tree. There's something primal about the experience.
Wow Ive seen a tree leave before but that one must have had its bags packed for a while I mean that thing left and disappeared that was very cool great video see you on the next one
Wish I could have been the clean up man on this one. You know, carry the saw and wedges back to the truck. Finally, a magic trick on this channel, making a tree disappear. How fun!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious I was taught only seven syllables . Your anticipation was great but we all know you knew what was happening . This is hall of fame worthy video .
"This is hall of fame worthy video" 100% to that! It's incredible, given the confines that August had to work in. If this tree were in the open, with no buildings around, it wouldn't be a "thing" dropping it over the edge. 🏁 August Hunicke, for the WIN 🏁
I take it that that felling success counts for at least one August Christmas gift and it came and went with its very own Christmas tree. Well done, but we pretty much knew that would be the case.
Ring Ring… Hello this is August…. Caller… Say August I have a difficult tree right by my home … Oh no worries I’m a falling Beast!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 And that you are August,, how the heck did you manage around that darn deck?? Stellar job my friend 👏🏼👏🏼
Howdy August, thanks for putting up the drone for extra content and perspective. Very Nice. Did you give him a price to cut steps into the trunk? Have A Day! ;~)
I'm always stoked to see your brain in action mate, no wasted movement, zen efficiency at work every time.
I'm with you, It is a wonder to behold.
Well executed August.👍🏻👍🏻 Just a suggestion … I always take my metal detector and pinpointer with me to check for nasties before cutting. Who knows who’s put up bird boxes, washing lines and tree houses etc in the past. It’s not infallible but has saved me hours of sharpening
10 out of 10 for Fearless 10 out of 10 for Skill. God Bless Brother Merry Christmas
The owners of that property got one sweet Christmas present delivered by THE Mr. August Hunicke.
That is for sure my friend 👍
August youre a tree surgeon . I wish i had the skill to throw trees like that .Loved the video man . One of my favorite channels .
His community is so blessed to know that there's a Doctor on Call, when they need him.
My Absolute favorite channel ❤😁
Fantastic episode August! The production you created with the different angles and the “ride along” feel at the beginning was fun. The tree going over and then upside-down down the hill… 😳wicked
How deep is that abyss the tree went over in? 😳
Never doubted you for a second !Them = "Is that the tree cracking I hear or the saw cooling." You = " Hmmm, I dunno " 🤣
WOW mate, gutsy effort!
Well done!
Cheers Stoney…🇦🇺
August is definitely a cut above.

Couldn't agree more !! Well said Don 👍
*WELL SAID* and he certainly is!!!
Hey August, Well done sir! Wasn't till the tree goes over that you can see how far down that drop off is-yikes! 👍😁
That was so cool! Never watched one nearly drop out of sight, great camera footage. I did one last year almost the same layout, the deck was actually contoured around 1/4 of the tree.

Thx 4 that experience, very cool!! 💪😆👍
The kinetic energy of the butt section literally flying by between 10:45 and 10:47 is AWESOME! Great video work Mr. Hunicke.
Best visual demo of how the hinge works!
That was gut-wrenching ! Lol. Great job August 👏
Very True! Just watching was awesome, I couldn't imagine actually doing battle with that tree in that situation.
This is why I like you. I love it when a plan comes together. Unite The A-Team for winter.
Awesome. That was some seriously accurate camera placing😀😀😀
Very cool August!
Awesome skills - both tree felling and videography! Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays!
That was awesomeness 👏 Beautifully executed
August I have a Christmas present coming to your shop. Thank you for all of your help; you take time out of your life to better others! I appreciate you 👍. Have a Merry Christmas/ safe-happy new year.
Again a great video about the arborwork. Perfection in cutting complicated trees. I have fun to see it again and again. 👍
Impressive felling job. Sure hope your customers owned the landing site. Thanks for sharing, August.
Man, oh Man, you weren't kidding about the Abyss !!!! Nice work.
🌲❤️ Remember to 👍
Wowzers, the force of that

videography and tree surgeon
skills ... STUPENDOUS 💫
Always a treat to watch your videos!
Thanks August
You continue to inspire…what a cliff…once the tree kept going…almost inverting…it became apparent…awesomely executed.
I have been watching you for year's and most times it is a repeat of something. Not today. I am not easily impressed impressed, but today was a WOW! Tight quarters on the house for you. WELL DONE.

LOL “every hat”
T hat was, without question a damn fine drop.
Take a bow Monsieur August.
That was so badass ! Awesome video ! You might not think it but this was seriously one of the better videos Ive watched in a few months ! You're a legend !

That was amazing. So much skill! Love watching you work. Dave
That was a calculated and accurate drop into the abyss,one of the very best tree felling videos I’ve ever seen!!!
After watching many tree felling fail videos this was definitely a pleasure to watch. You sir, are an artist.
Wow, that was impressive !!!! Amazing work !!!! Enjoyed watching this. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
Awesome! Awesome! work and editing!!
Damn, that thing took off down in to the Abyss like it owed you money...... great result, perfect drop.
That tree saw August and when it was free it said...
"I'm outta here!" 😯
Great footage, August! Thank you for ALL you do!
Enjoyed the video. A Masterful job. NICE❗ It was August Hunicke at his best. Kudos!
I wonder if Mrs. Hunicke watches his videos that are this intense.
You have always amazed me I have learned a lot from you, you are truly the best I did it for over 25 years I still do it a little for my firewood but I get that exiteted feeling just watching you your amazing
Another great one!!! Love how you started vid cool angles of gear and l love the final back ground of the lady “wholly cra…” thanx fer sharin’!!!
Outstanding, and no debris to clean up.
poetry in motion as always , you are the jedi master Mr Hunicke such calmness around you
Nice one . and great footage.
Footage of the whole operation is masterful. But even that is a step two behind the the felling skills exhibited here.
Holy Moly!! That face cut was perfect! The abyss is true to form since that tall tree completely disappeared straight up and down! 😳
Well cut! Excellent video!
That was EPIC! ❤🐒🦫
Amazing skills recording those 💰 shots, August! 😳👍
A well executed cut considering complications from the limited space in which to work. It's more like a work of art.Hats off to the master.
My dad logged the woods of spouthwest Arkansas-memories return viewing epic cuts such as this magnificent work
Great shot down the abyss!
Awesome job August 👍
By far one of the best “solo” vids I have seen, gotta trust your instincts and ability sometimes. More often than not, it works out. We all know you wouldn’t have tried it if you didn’t think you could do it. You’re the man August ! SO DIALEDDDDD!!!!!!😅😂
Amazing! It just vanishes. The amount of energy that tree had... Wow!
Every now and then an otherwise mundane tree felling turns out to be a well-planned and well-filmed event.
Nice job, man. And thanks for sharing. 👍
Methodical & precise - experience in action right there.
Man i get so sketched out making the face cut on large trees. It always feels like I'm doing too much. Kudos to people who make it seem way easier than it is to connect all the dots.
10:04 super cool :-) And also the tree cleaned up itself :-D
Lucky that there was no widow-makers in the adjacent tree.
I saw your video, wow i also showed it to my family and we all take our hats off for you. Very, very skilled.
Out of sight, out of mind..... 😁
You and your family have a Merry Christmas August!
Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲
Randy
wow insane. nicely done august
It's always great to have some flop and leaves in the corner pocket for slow season. That tree was not very happy down there 😆. Thanks for sharing the process.
That tree was huge. Beautiful job August!
No ground crew, no large equipment cluttering up the work area.
Just a man & his tools against this beast of a tree. There's something primal about the experience.
Wow Ive seen a tree leave before but that one must have had its bags packed for a while I mean that thing left and disappeared that was very cool great video see you on the next one
August is truely a Top Notch Tree Feller - that was Absolutely textbook perfection tree felling - BRAVO Sir August
Amazing work… !! Awesome talent, definitely a step above the rest, really enjoy watching your videos..
Dude that's incredible take down. Every video I watch of your skills makes me feel I'm right there with you. .
Epic August. Just epic and just great camera work.
What a pleasure to watch the master at work ,well done august..
Never get tired of seeing this one.
Such a beautiful tree, why was it necessary to cut it down
That's crazy to watch! The tree is a monster! You must have been nervous being back in the corner like that. Impressive.
Very well executed , fair play to you .
Very very impressive indeed, absolute master of your craft Sir.
Guess none of it went to waste seeing as how the customer appreciated the trees age.
Like a BOSS !..but if you gotta do it, it's fun watching it 😂
Another great job!
serious business there. focus, and no wind was key. nice job rockin the clients minds.
Haha ya
Wish I could have been the clean up man on this one. You know, carry the saw and wedges back to the truck. Finally, a magic trick on this channel, making a tree disappear. How fun!
Wow- 100% perfect drop! Awesome video
My dad was a logger in his youth and it’s always cool to watch cut a tree down. All the tricks and tools to get it fall apart certain way is cool too.
One of the coolest videos you have made good job tree brother 🤘
That was sweet! Wish I had a portable abyss to make certain jobs more fun
That would be great. Send things off into the void, never to be seen again.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious I was taught only seven syllables . Your anticipation was great but we all know you knew what was happening . This is hall of fame worthy video .
"This is hall of fame worthy video"
100% to that! It's incredible, given the confines that August had to work in. If this tree were in the open, with no buildings around, it wouldn't be a "thing" dropping it over the edge. 🏁 August Hunicke, for the WIN 🏁
Great Christmas gift that was cool
I take it that that felling success counts for at least one August Christmas gift and it came and went with its very own Christmas tree. Well done, but we pretty much knew that would be the case.
That was beautiful !
Ring Ring… Hello this is August…. Caller… Say August I have a difficult tree right by my home … Oh no worries I’m a falling Beast!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 And that you are August,, how the heck did you manage around that darn deck?? Stellar job my friend 👏🏼👏🏼
Why do people build their houses so close to trees? (then trees get big and threaten the house, then August comes and cuts them down)
As Farley would say…..That WAS Awesome.
Amazing calculations expert precsion!👍🏿✊🏿
Reppin the Reon Rounds gear … nice!!
Cool job. Dam thing just disappeared lol. Sweet camera shots
That was fantastic, nice that you knew it wanted to go that way. Single wedge and not much pounding.
That was above excellent!
10:13 that was freakin' awesome August !
Whatever you got paid for this job it was probably not enough. Fantastic job, expertly done!
Howdy August, thanks for putting up the drone for extra content and perspective. Very Nice. Did you give him a price to cut steps into the trunk? Have A Day! ;~)
Nah I mentioned it tho
That one was SO dialed in ..... even Verizon couldn't come close !
Fantastic episode August! The production you created with the different angles and the “ride along” feel at the beginning was fun
