Lol, there at the end when you were getting in your truck and it was making that noise i was sitting in my truck at the grocery store and i thought it was my truck. I was looking around like "what's wrong! Why are you beeping at me! "
Thank you for this video. I am a small time tree guy. I have taken classes and I have climbed 70ft high. With the type of cuts that you did I will probably be using that type of cut in the near future. I like how you can drop the tree more straight down as oppose to trying to swing it down. Thank you.
Learn something new Every time I watch ya brother. And I'm 52yr old with 27+ yrs climbing!!!! And another 20 to go GOD Willing. I stumbled on your channel a a few yrs ago and went on a tirade for you saying you were old skool because I was still sporting the ol Klein saddle and I was a Tautline Terry 2 wraps down and a half hitch baby. But now I am proud to say I sport your gear. Good job and btw your response to my KB warrior sh@t was spot on bro total pro
Been there I was trying Out a new notch a guy showed me while I was working for Bartlett tree forman. Joe don't try any new notches today broke window on good note I did learn how to do it later in life lol 😆
Peel cut and trim the sides before topping got it. Love all these tips. How about offering your shirts in some light colors? In the summer I wear a lot of white, light gray, lime or orange. I like the Made For This shirt with the chainsaw graphic, but a black shirt in the summer ain't cool. Might also think about offering some long sleeve shirts with them tiny holes for ventilation. Us old timers get cut up pretty easy and could use the arm protection. Thanks for another great video August.
Bro I live in Florida and it's hot as hell here I found that if I wear a tank under shirt it will get wet with sweat and keep the outer shirt somewhat dry when the wind blows it kinda insulates you and keeps you cool.
Damien nailed it with those pine bark cuts and pieces under the fingernails. I don’t climb but I get them moving brush when we do our burn piles. Not to mention pitch on the hands.
Way cool video , am home with lower back injury so I'm using headphones and DANG sooooooooooo cool ! The audio is so sick ! Love the fact your showing so much normal stuff for you that we don't usually see ! Thank You ! 😋. 👍👍👍
I was immediately looking for your new truck on the job. Then I spotted it way over yonder. It was on the street out of the drop zones. One zone clear of any limbs or debris coming down during the removal. The other zone far from any falling corn dog crumbs or condiments. The jumbo Transporter looks very interesting.
Yeah the peel cut is total control once u get goin, fast work. Couple years ago thats how i cut my knee, limb came back and hit the side of tree.. Great vids August u guys are super busy it looks like
15:22 - @August - That inspires me to experiment with the concept of hard-mounting in-line skate (wheel-trucks removed, of course!), or snow-boots, with my old spurs - maybe some inner-tube bands that could be pulled over the buckles (locking-pins, etc) - so as to prevent snagging a snap-over buckle, and having it open up, in the tree. Keep in mind, I've got old-school spurs (the leather pads and straps, are shot!); I don't do this for a living (rarely - I average 1-climb per 7-year span). *All the usual disclaimers apply. Cheers-
@ 1:28 Damien, i couldn't agree more! Pines are generally the only trees I wear gloves in now - unless it's freezing outside. I can't tell you how many times in the past I've been advancing my flip line and jammed a "razor blade" under my finger nail 😱 makes me cringe just thinking about it!
As someone who trims for transmission lines the peel cut is one of my best friends the peel cut and slice cut are two tools that we use a lot more than other areas of the industry I’d love to see you make a video on slice cuts if the opportunity presents itself we do 69kv to 345kv I love it but it’s not the line clearance that most people hear about we’re an extremely close and safety oriented yard lol we do huge removals sometimes several in a day per crew
Never mind, I see you have already answered this question, as I read comments further down. 😖 Climb, hand throw to set TIP, set new TIP when last one reached, rinse and repeat.
Watching some of those bigger limbs fall I could see what you meant about hitting the fence. Remember "Poetry in Motion?" That's what it's like at this end watching you work.
No crane no reachy? K August quicker to rig or quicker to cut n Chuck??? Also...geez I love that peel cut I use it every time I can. I love the control.
I see you using the Petzel Micro-Grab, I had to get one after I did a big pine that was the pitchiest thing I ever saw, (thats seen and sawed all in one) before I was halfway done my friction hitch om my lanyard would not move! very inconvenient. Wait about ten years or so Aug and you'll find out about the long sleeves, I can't climb especially, or much of anything else anymore without them, I will be a bloody mess and all bruised up. They say I lost my collagen, but I wanna know where did it go!? Great job on the pine and the vid :{)
Strip it top it log it out ahhhhh perfect, my first video climbing, no gloves, knuckles were busted up, learned what not to do again quickly thereafter.
1:02 - so, when you've got 4 guys, lots of noise, a woodchipper, chainsaws, and heavy frequently dropping from height, there is no such thing as "redundant safety talk..." If you thought a carrier flight deck was a dangerous workplace, wait until you do tree work..!
😜 Can never have enough safety talks. Great crew=great results. Have you tried racking the saw on the transporter by the handle? If so any issues? Asking b/c some1 in climber talk on tree buzz had a saw ring clip on the back just break and saw fell.😲
Said it B4, I will never forget how much property and pain you save the world and you will be appreciated and respected all your days regardless of any God's judgement. I'm sure you would be judged how you wanted though, you don't miss much, unless you are squeezing by or in, do you
Great video. New subscriber. Just wondering what brand of chainsaw you are using up in the tree? Lightweight, easy starting! Btw....where is this? Good views from the treetops.
I love your videos and all the footage but I was wondering if you could perhaps have a video just about wood chipping...perhaps it might be boring to others.
Hehe. Yeah pine bark is vicious. I watched a guy miss a spur and his rope didnt grab right. One leg was down one leg was over his head and he almost lost his pants to that tree.
Pine bark has ate my lunch to.... I only use my spurs and a 1" rope for my lanyard and once the bark gave way 30 ft fall . First time that's happened .
August, have you tried the electric battery trim saws yet? Wondering how they hold up to industrial use, would be nice not to have to pull start a gas powered saw with every reset when climbing.
Man dont you hate when your at the top of a tall pine and the damn chain comes off that's why I have always climbed in camo pants for the pockets so I have my saw tool, stays and what ever I need.
Where did you get that black shirt that looks like it has sawdust all over it, you should put those in your line of items that you sell, that way people would look like they’ve been working. LOL.
Why not do an accordion cut. reach out half way and cut 50% through the branch than do your tear cut at the base. When it hits the ground the energy is absorbed into the 1/2 cut and snaps instead of launches. Depending on the angle you could do 3/4 instead of 1/2/
Safety is good and thanks for discussing it August. The more you talk about it, the more you think about it and do it.
Or tell us enough times to remember it.
You have a way of putting complex concepts into simple terms.
Love the way that little 2511 sounds.💚🌳👊👍🌳💚

OMG he's barberchairing a horizontal tree. LOL. Nice trick on the peel cut. Never would I have thought about it. Thanks again for doing what you do
August - thanks to you: I use peel cut a lot here in Georgia and I really appreciate your explanation of it.
Awesome....can't wait to get 1 of those jumbo transporters. Love it already

Bless Another enjoyable video. Was in Woodland, Ca this Tuesday & I stopped at Dutch Bros. And bought a coffee in your honor. Thanks 🙏
Haha thanks
Not that I would ever climb to cut down that tall of a tree, but I did learn an awful lot; it's what I'm here for, and Subscribed !
Definitely springy pondo limbs gave me my first broken window. Sprung right through the costumers kitchen window.
Lol - I did similar with a roof demo, years ago - A chunk of compo caught the gutter and flung right through their kitchen window - ooops! Cheers-
Been there I was trying
Out a new notch a guy showed me while I was working for Bartlett tree forman. Joe don't try any new notches today broke window on good note I did learn how to do it later in life lol 😆
Some of the best tree trade secrets.! Always grateful 🙏

Amazing job on the pine tree.
Had a limb do the flip thing and clear the fence behind me by about 2”. I’ll never forget that lesson. Water Oak btw
I like these more straightforward job videos. Sometimes simple storytelling is the best.
Your comments are consistently insightful and thought-provoking.
Another GREAT job well done !!!!! Thanks for the peel cut. Release lesson!!!!
Doesn’t work on brittle wood tho, remember that…
I admire your ability to see things from multiple perspectives.
mannnn..im liking the look of that transporter..mine doesn't have as strong of a gate..mine is like a hard wire gate that gets bent a lot
I always wondered if you ever did line clearance
I like how you show more of what you all do. Like pretend the cameras are not there. Nice great job guys!
August loves that Echo CS2511T.
Good job guys flat tire and all. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next vidja.
Smart man, August
Is there any way to get a pouch made up like that for a water bottle or gatorade?
Nice video!

Uploading a video tonight to cover some of this.
Your writing is both eloquent and concise.
@August:
When, and how, did you set your first TIP? Big Shot, Air Cannon, hand throw while ascending a ways up, or what?
Never mind, I see you have already answered this question, as I read comments further down.

I’ve flown onto a few carriers to fly out to do ops, that shit was super fucking loud
Would have liked to’ve heard an acknowledgment from the guys though.... a simple “ok” gives me piece of mind that they heard you, and they understand.
Keep em coming.
I want one just looked one up damn u get the good stuff
Did you use the cs 2511 tes saw? 14"bar?
Thanks from Finland Akujelppi
16 inch bar
@@AugustHunicke Ok, thanks August😊
I like ur stuff bro, all down to ur phone case
highlights of the video "0:56, don't chip anybody"! great video!
I had to watch 5:30 like 6 times I thought your rope was heading to the chipper good job guys :)
How much that job cost?Greetings from Greece!!!
For a split second I thought the homeowner had a Monkey Beaver pop up tent
Hey August
What chain do you run on your Echo?
Thanks for alle the videos. Julius.
Panther 1/4 pitch from monkeybeaver.com
Where are you guys?
Good way to add in an extra margin of safety without going over the top
What size file do you use to file the panther 1/4 pitch chains?
5/32
On this job, August, did you climb to set your tie in point?
Not really. I just kept throwing it up if you feel above me as I went.
Nice/funny to hear August say ‘raining blood’.
Come home from work to watch more work haha, I don't know why I do this to myself
😜
Can never have enough safety talks. Great crew=great results.
Have you tried racking the saw on the transporter by the handle? If so any issues? Asking b/c some1 in climber talk on tree buzz had a saw ring clip on the back just break and saw fell.😲
I prefer the vert hang
@@AugustHunicke srry ya I mean the rear trigger handle on larger saws. You're right it wouldn't worky on top handle. Was just curious. Tnx.
@@shanesouza4303 I use an oval climbing carabiner clipped into the rear handle. Shembiner, but same deal as the transporter
Bandit now has a design in there drum chippers that won’t pull a rope in like they used to, I’m eager to see a test.
Not that it warrants being complacent!
I thought the top was going right in the chipper!👍

Do you think of and use masks with dusty chipper?
Sometimes
It would be a short game of croquet in that back yard next to project.
Climbing every day, sewing lots of new products, hours spent on editing videos, when do you have time to do bids or sleep?
Damien does bids 😁
What are you guys using for communication headsets?

Glad you let me know, it will be up there today.

Hi everyone . Question to anyone that can answer. What are the things on all the roofs of the houses?
Roof vents, hidden so they can't be seen from the street.
August, have you tried the electric battery trim saws yet? Wondering how they hold up to industrial use, would be nice not to have to pull start a gas powered saw with every reset when climbing.
So far they’re too heavy
Your comments are a testament to your intelligence and creativity.
I like the phone pouch I got 2 turnakit
Pouches on my saddle ones for my phone other has the blood clot dealio
I wish my Echo top handle sounded this good.
Check out "Red Beard Saws" on the FB.
Just looking at your phone pouch and got me thinking how about doing some wedge pouches ?
In process
@@AugustHunicke now I am very interested 👍🏻
Will there ever be a law to keep trees at a lower height, certain types?
You frighten me with such heights. You are good 👍. As is your crew.
How can we put laws on nature?
Man dont you hate when your at the top of a tall pine and the damn chain comes off that's why I have always climbed in camo pants for the pockets so I have my saw tool, stays and what ever I need.
Where did you get that black shirt that looks like it has sawdust all over it, you should put those in your line of items that you sell, that way people would look like they’ve been working. LOL.
Why do all of those houses have so many vents in the roofs? Builder never heard of a single ridge vent?
A ridge vent would be visible from the front ofthe house, no one wants to look at ridge vent, the way they did it nothing is visible from the front.
Why not do an accordion cut. reach out half way and cut 50% through the branch than do your tear cut at the base. When it hits the ground the energy is absorbed into the 1/2 cut and snaps instead of launches. Depending on the angle you could do 3/4 instead of 1/2/
Maintain control! :)

Hey august. You need any crew memebers?
Got a class A CDL, I’m also a climber. Learning, always learning, but not totally new
Not at the moment but I’ll try to grow.
Let me guess you forgot the speed line kit lol
I cut 80% pine trees here in NC and I almost never wear gloves in them, it always looks like I got in a bar fight.
