man, august… your editing and camera skills are on a whole new level. no-one’s putting in the extra effort to make it look tight, your content is orchestrated like a symphony.. well done.🤘🏼
The simulation of what would happen with the ropes and chipper was a good clip . I know you put effort into making it; you should have explained it and made it at least a minute long. I’m sure everyone that watched it didn’t follow what was going on; I had to rewind it and watch it again .
You two were just like kids in a candy shop with unlimited spending ability. Flying up, swinging out, just hanging in air. Love the ballet of limbs dropping where you want em. Spectacular introduction to the New Year! Stay safe.
The synergy of you and your crew is amazing. Haven't seen a more productive crew on TH-cam or in person in my life. Kudos to your crew for having the work ethics and professionalism they posses.
Just amazing work the two of you do in the tree. plus the ground crew keeping everything straight. 5 ropes to keep track of and keeping everyone safe. It's poetry in motion, I could watch you for hours. Be safe, God Bless.
Looks like a fun one! Thanks for going out on a limb for all of us to get the good shots. Hope you and your family had a merry Christmas and happy new year’s.
You are my inspiration bro. Im still a skiddish climber but getting a lot better. Making swings and climbing higher and higher, you’ve helped me so much over the past few years. Thanks again amigo
Wow, I had to go back to the start of minute 11 and watch that again. Incredible piece of video. Be safe, happy and prosperous in 2022. Regards from Scotland to the whole crew and to all the guys and gals who make their living among the trees.
It basically is a TV show. D we definitely keep it how it is if they made into a TV show it would no longer August's editing an his master piece you have to have all these camera men an it would get ruined just like it die for guilty of treeson. Eastside tried to go all big TV look at them now lol.
Thank you for putting together clear, well recorded videos of what tree work looks, feels, and sounds like. Others try to copy you but don't come close! Thank you for showing the youtube world that this is dangerous work but can be fun too. No unnecessary swearing (haven't heard any actually) through difficult conditions i.e., rain, snow, ants, wind at a hundred feet in the air! Good Job and much respect!
I just love your videos, especially the amount of teaching you put in for us old climbers ( that me anyway). I did crush courses to get on the road quickly, years back. Most of what you demonstrate is new to me, from gear to felling, climbing, rigging etc etc. Thank you so much for your sharing. Love your equipment and set ups. Way to go Monkey beavers.👍💯
This was a fantastic episode. So looking to the others. I could watch you guys all day. Love the two of ya in the tree. Hard work and fun. What could be better. How lucky to find a job you love. My next life maybe my job. Lol.
With the hard work from the crew and extra time it takes to build these videos I feel compelled to comment, even though I don’t have anything to say that hasn’t been said already. Great job guys, excellent video and looking forward to the next one!
The planning, coordination and execution of this removal is amazing, to say nothing of the years of experience and skill you have. Your tree-range camera work and post-editing creativity cannot be ignored. This is a complete package - entertaining and informative. Bravo, dudes!
It is amazing the skill with which you pick apart the tree in a methodical manner. Very impressive. That is one strange looking tree. Great video. Thanks.
Happy New Year . I liked the part about setting up camera angles or what you have to do to get them. It looked like you wanting to have more fun at work .Great job
Love the Camaraderie between august and Damian. The team work with your crew is on point as well. August does go above and beyond to make great content.
To see vlogs like this is why I keep watching you guys and as a small time guy in the U.K. it’s helped me a lot In changing my techniques so big it up for sharing all your experience with us
It's Jan 3rd. I was looking at last night's radar, and the blob of rain over the pnw, thinking it'll be a while before we see the monkey beaver working. Man was I wrong! Thanks for keeping this one in the magazine! It's nice having help in those big trees, even if it's just for good company. It gets lonely and frustrating up there alone.
This was a funky awesome tree job to show what you folks do! Who said there's small trees in Grants Pass Jacob? Could've used you up there, or filming, or chipping
I just ran into one of these a few months back. I was told by the homeowner the power company topped it a bunch of years back. Man I wish I had one of those motorized jobbers to get me to the top that was a killer to climb. Great job guys I love the videos keep up the good work!
Hey, August!! Another great vid.... but before jumping to pt 2... I took that chipper/rope demo and replayed it at 0.25 speed... and Man! that would be the first thing to show a new man on 'ground crew'....!! If that doesn't take the 'cockiness' out of someone, nothing would! Awesome... now, gotta get to Pt2....
Tag team tree work, awesome Damien and August!👍 Your videos have so much fun in them! Thank you for all you do to make the videos with us TH-cam watchers in mind! ❤ - Kim
I have cut many Ponderosa in Colorado…never saw one grow 5 new leads after a topping cut…usually they linger- stall out and die…Your Oregon Pondi there really surprised me…now I have worked Eastern White Pine in Michigan and Illinois and they grow amazing 2nd crowns after a break out from wind and snow…or cuts…fascinating. I am still thinking about your story of your past…more respect from me in addition to what I felt before…courage. hope, believe…intent…keeping it real…hold steady and steadfast good friend!
The best thing about August & Damien’s videos is not the content. Yes, it’s stellar. But plenty of guys post excellent content here these days. The reason we love your videos is because of the way you guys interact. Men who respect each other and are passionate about being the best possible team.
I think there are a lot of people that just don’t understand how much effort you an crew put into these vids an the many that do understand greatly appreciate you. Mine an many other hats off to you guys 👊👊
Now we all know i like ta cut a lil' tree now and again , was there any discussion on saving this specimen Mr Hunicke , inquiring hippi logger . or was it like, lets cut it down. saw a fair bit of previous pruning cuts , had you bin in it before, be interesting to know the story and decisions made , like new owners from flat land or what have you , as far as pines go . that thing was sweet .
Repeat clients. I don’t know if you remember Travis. He worked for me and is featured in many of my videos. (God and Country Fallers) He and our very own, Joe Boyd, thinned it some years back. The thing is, the client would not stop worrying about it. It loomed and swayed over his neighbor. He wouldn’t be dissuaded from cutting it down despite our reminding him of it’s reduction in wind-sail. Sometimes, a person can only be set at ease in the presence of a calm expert but when the expert leaves, the worries begin fresh. I understand because around here, there are always two main tree species we pick up out of peoples living rooms in the winter. . . Black oak, and Ponderosa pine. Oh it might be a nifty specimen, but it can definitely not be called a good specimen.
Amazing TEAM you ALL are 💪 Absolutely LOVED this video…. Had me reliving 2006… Fun times up in those MONSTERS in Richmond Virginia. I’ll be following your ADVENTURES from now on…. TOTAL RESPECT for the AMAZING OPERATION and BEAUTIFUL demonstration of PROFESSIONALS AT WORK 💪💪💪💪
Great video fellas, I'd much rather see the team work together up in a tree.. for safety, for efficiency, and for commrodery. The experience is best shared. Plus the awesome camera angles yall are getting are superb
It amazes me you don't have 100k subscribers yet with the quality of your videos, the great content/insight and great crew. Some of the best stuff on TH-cam imo, I appreciate the time and effort you put into it! #hunicketo100k
Hmmm we got dropped again. Weeeeeeeeeeeee it was fun August - lets do it again. Thank you for the video - trees grow so tall out there. The midwest doesn't seem to have that many tall ones. Hope the crew, family and yourself are doing well. Lovely day here - 2 F last night. High of 15F with -10 forecasted later in the week. Stay safe and waiting for the new video.
Monkey kickin limbs off the 5 headed monster haha, thats a cool tree to get under your belt. We have a 12-14 headed fir i deadwooded here a while back. It was a pretty cool climb aswell. Solid work, stay safe!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Hey guys! I am the person who never comments. Yet thoroughly appreciates all your amazing encouragement, inspiration, and totally trustworthy good vibe awesome videos. Thank you very much!!
mmm. -25 degrees here in Canada, i got monétaire to collect, laundry to do, saw to prep, phone call to return and à lot more but i am watching this no matter what thanks to the team
Already subscribed, liked immediately. I've wondered at times whether you're overwhelmed with comments. Do you really want us to comment everytime? You're my absolute favorite channel. If I don't comment, know that I'm still right there with all of you guys...
I think I read all the comments but I don’t always have time to reply. I would have to hire someone I think. I appreciate the comments. I always look forward to yours.
man, august… your editing and camera skills are on a whole new level. no-one’s putting in the extra effort to make it look tight, your content is orchestrated like a symphony.. well done.🤘🏼
Well said. Love the music and the recap. Education and entertainment.
It's like a little movie ! I'm learning editing rn and it is so hard even filming is so hard , he's got it down ! Always enjoyable videos
You definitely show great skills and teamwork. Making it look easy. Who could work relaxed at those heights! Stay safe. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The simulation of what would happen with the ropes and chipper was a good clip . I know you put effort into making it; you should have explained it and made it at least a minute long. I’m sure everyone that watched it didn’t follow what was going on; I had to rewind it and watch it again .
You two were just like kids in a candy shop with unlimited spending ability. Flying up, swinging out, just hanging in air. Love the ballet of limbs dropping where you want em. Spectacular introduction to the New Year! Stay safe.
Climbing and swinging around in the trees looks like so much fun.
The synergy of you and your crew is amazing. Haven't seen a more productive crew on TH-cam or in person in my life. Kudos to your crew for having the work ethics and professionalism they posses.
Just amazing work the two of you do in the tree. plus the ground crew keeping everything straight. 5 ropes to keep track of and keeping everyone safe. It's poetry in motion, I could watch you for hours. Be safe, God Bless.

That climbing assist gizmo is the bees’ knees. Great video as always, August & crew!
You are my inspiration bro. Im still a skiddish climber but getting a lot better. Making swings and climbing higher and higher, you’ve helped me so much over the past few years. Thanks again amigo
August, you and Damian work so well together. It is a pleasure to watch your videos.
Thank you for sharing 👌 😊
Absolutely love watching you and Damien work. Especially in the same tree. Can't wait for part 2.
Wow, I had to go back to the start of minute 11 and watch that again. Incredible piece of video. Be safe, happy and prosperous in 2022. Regards from Scotland to the whole crew and to all the guys and gals who make their living among the trees.
Absolutely brilliant, so entertaining. You guys should have your own TV program
It basically is a TV show. D we definitely keep it how it is if they made into a TV show it would no longer August's editing an his master piece you have to have all these camera men an it would get ruined just like it die for guilty of treeson. Eastside tried to go all big TV look at them now lol.
thank you! The big limb cuts you were describing were fascinating and great information. Basically, the limb does a barber chair.
Thank you for putting together clear, well recorded videos of what tree work looks, feels, and sounds like. Others try to copy you but don't come close! Thank you for showing the youtube world that this is dangerous work but can be fun too. No unnecessary swearing (haven't heard any actually) through difficult conditions i.e., rain, snow, ants, wind at a hundred feet in the air! Good Job and much respect!
A true Ballet done by a gifted troupe of performers all done gracefully in harm's way with perfection.
That was awesome. I always enjoy your videos August, you great teacher. Thank you.
Masters create masterpieces...awesome talents on full display!
I just love your videos, especially the amount of teaching you put in for us old climbers ( that me anyway). I did crush courses to get on the road quickly, years back.

We disagree about Chevys but love your videos! Always learning something from you.
This was a fantastic episode. So looking to the others. I could watch you guys all day. Love the two of ya in the tree. Hard work and fun. What could be better. How lucky to find a job you love. My next life maybe my job. Lol.
Hey August, awsome video. That rope in the chipper simulation was scary. Hope you all stay safe & have a great 2022. Cheers🖒
Everything looks good. See you on part 2. Take care and have a blessed day

Amazing
Kinda neat seeing you men go at it hard and fast with closed captioned explanations as to what was going on. Well done!
Bravo! That was a monster for sure!!
That demo of a rope getting in a Chipper was crazy! That happens so FAST you'd have almost no time to react.
Can’t wait for part two! As always nice work August and thanks for taking us along

Superb filming ,editing and professionalism, without, to this uneducated eye, any un-necessary risks.
Big old pine. I like the box cut when its on a rope. You guys are fun to watch.
Great job August & team

That’s great work, is that a Ponderosa pine or do you guys have others out there? Nice piano
Yes to both questions.
Well done guys! @14:25 i noticed a damaged rope, when August swung back. Did i observe it right?
It’s a steel core flip line. Stay tuned. Subject comes up.
Amazing work, as always!! Great video coverage also
