Ladies and gentlemen this is more than information and entertainment..... This, this is inspiration, how dedication and love can overcome life's obstacles. In a game of inches use every single one and never give up.
August, I know that was a whole of work but, you and Damien once again make it look easy. 😉👊 Hope your back is feeling better. Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤️🌲 Randy
After you said you had the famous Covid, I immediately thought of your family and you as well. So glad you are on the mend! Take care and don't take chances during recovery. This can still be a very dangerous time. Really glad you are back! Nick, North West Farmer
What a team August. When you get up that high and guys below look like ants, my stomach is up in my throat. Up at the very top your cutting so close to you ropes that I bite down so hard my teeth hurt. Great work August!! Be safe...
Definitely worth the 44 minutes, August!! Beautiful job, and thanks for the great narrative/explanations. Cut a lot of trees, but not in tight quarters like that!! And GOOD to see you getting up to speed after the 'bug'! Take care!
You are truly a master. At the very last second you could see the tree want to roll to the right. Without the proper cut it would have hit that fence. I always enjoy your videos and explanation of what you are doing. I have learned a great deal from your videos.
The bundling is one of the absolute game changers about the zip line kit. We don’t always have the room to zip either but the speed of work stays up with the many limbs at once. Fantastic ❤️
That last "bomb" drop is the best reason anyone watching should hit that subscribe button !! AND just as important ... smash that like button. Really guys you are ALL AWESOME !!!
Even though this was a weird year....it's been an amazing year for your channel. It's almost doubled it seems like & you are about to hit a youtube milestone.....100,000 subs. Congrats on everything, you have earned it the hard way. STAY SAFE
THAT was great, 'guys'! NOT just putting the last part down (pinpoint) like a DRONE but the whole PROCESS of what you did with details! Yeah, YOU guys are GREAT and thanks for this one! Sonny
Hola amigos, me encanta el buen sentido de umor y la hermandad con la que ustedes trabajan, y mentes abiertas que ustedes tienen. Yo me dedico a la poda y corta de árboles acá en Houston, de verdad que cada ves que veo sus videos siempre aprendo algo nuevo. Les agradezco altamente por compartir todo ese conocimiento lo cual me hace un mejor trabajador.
This had a bad trees 3 vibe😎 especially when you were chunking the first few pieces of stem wood. Awesome video, not many people on this earth could handle a job like that while recovering from coronavirus. Tree kings 😎
Hi, thank you for your wonderfull videos. Why do you cut little tree branch before you cutt all the tree? If you dont little branches will fall with the big tree, no? Pascal.
I'm in awe at not only the skill level and dedication it takes to do this work but the shear bravery to do such dangerous jobs. I'm fascinated watching August do his craft but my anxiety level rises every time.
Thank you for the motivation. I’m just getting back into tree work. I live in Tennessee now but I grew up in your neck of the woods. I went to IVHS in Cave Junction, OR. And I was a spc. at the National Guard armory in Merlin. I miss that area.
August, what a great tip on the rigging line attached to the bridge idea. All these years of technical rigging (I have serial number 4 on my first GRCS) and I’ve never thought of that. If anything it’s just out of the way and totally within reach all at the same time. Thank you!
Howdy August, another great video thanks! Being retired from water distribution maintenance I was kinda hoping that the water was still on to the yard hydrant....now that would have added some extra excitement to this video. However being the professional that you are I knew the water would be off. Have A Day! ;~)
40 min of observing two great people move with mindful intent, highly efficient and effective, super productive. Exhibiting exceptional craft in a humble composure with positivity…it calms my soul and inspires … and every time I think how can he top a video like that..he does. I hope you are healing in a complete way. All the best and thank you!
BEAUIFUL! All the way through the job! Tremendous job so soon after being sick. I like the little orange saw. I have one also but don't have the thin MB bar you use. Not that it matters to me. I would probably bend it on the first cut. Thanks for all you have taught me about climbing. I wish I could have learned it long ago but happy I know it now. I 'll try to pass it on to someone else.
You guys are the greatest. But of course you know that already. I only wish you were closer to us here. I'd spend my kids inheritance to have to work for me :) Seriously, you guys set the bar for anyone either cutting trees or making video's.. Good work guys.. Bob Mitchell, Prescott, MI.....
I tackled a 110' ponderosa pine this summer in a very similar way. It had powerlines underneath the tree with the canopy spreading over two houses, so very small drop zone and a lean back over one of the houses. I approched it very much the same as you did this one using that "Jib" redirect technique, which i probably would not have thought of if i had not seen you do it in a earlier video. I can't tell you how many awesome tips and tricks ive picked up from your videos over the last couple years as i have ended up in the lead climber roll for the last couple companys ive worked for. Thank you August for sharing your knowledge and experience with us youngins. And that Buddle and Deliver technique is aweosme!! Gonna have to give that a try the next time i get the chance. Much Love and respect from a fellow climber up in BC, Canada.
Excellent job highly informative very entertaining you and your crew my friend are top-notch professionals excellent editing love this channel so glad your back God bless and stay strong Warriors.
Great video as always. The effort you put into editing is always evident and appreciated. Could you tell me a bit about your new Andre axe and the nifty poly hose section protecting the edge.
Cool new helmet cam! I like seeing how you handle some of the small details like removing the small dead hangers before rigging down the limb. Stay safe!!
August great job, don't know if we could ever get that accuracy out of a Australian Eucalyptus. The tree fibres in most species are twisted knarly growth's. Great Job. Aussie Jeff Moore
Great job guys as always like you were talking about the open-faced yeah I completely understand that plus that helps you control possible bounce stay safe guys
Excellent work August and crew! Asplundh makes us do open faces on every tree cut on the ground for control and to keep the tree attached to the stump.
I worked for Asplundh for 4 years doing line clearance, It’s a good job, but sometimes frustrating for an arborist. Ah yes, the open face cut was taught heavily, a lot of guys it’s all they knew and a lot of times it’s a go too! Where about do you work, and is it line clearance or private side?
@@Chato216 haha I went through my apprenticeship there. Did you go through the apprenticeship there? You know Nick Thompson? He was an instructor and I think a local RSS
Great to see you back, well done on the great videos, hope you get some well earned rest on the weekend (even tho your probably sick and tired of doing nothing), and hope your family is doing ok as well, its serious stuff, hope you have a good weekend too mate, Best wishes to you and your family from Australia.
Funny. I sometimes get weak knees watching you work with the saw near your ropes. Did the same when I was working watching coworkers. We had many moms on the job site. The not so confident didn’t mind it, others would state they know what they’re doing but thanks for concern. Even those guys became moms when they weren’t climbing.
Wow....Re notch-height, and "taller opening means the wood is more committed to the fall-direction when the notch closes, preventing/reducing any inaccuracies" F'ing LOVE it man!! When someone puts words to something you kinda know "by feel", damn man it was a treat watching this (Oh and "ermagerd....your notch is >25% deep!1!" lol ;D ) Will readily admit that, being away from TH-cam and from other fallers, I now realize consciously just how shallow my notches have become, seeing that beautiful notch at the end, man I wish I had a good pic of the too-shallow notch I did on an Oak on Monday, I *finished* the back-cut and it wouldn't fall - did pinch my bar though - ended up taking its tagline and attaching it to my hitch & pulling it over, thank god that was an option!!!
Great video. Great work. Glad you back and well. Got a few questions. One what brand or model number is that saw, I see it’s a Panther bar. Also noticed new helmets, brand and model number if know. Can you post on your web site or email me directly? Good perspective on how it’s done correctly as well as the narration, amazing fortitude.
August, absolutely remarkable how you tackle these jobs… great narration, superb videos and crew…
Do take care…
The tree workmen’s outstanding as usual, but the camera angles and video editing are truly incredible! You are an artist of both arts.
It doesn’t get any better than that - you guys make it look so easy - incredible skill.
damn, making up for lost time, 2 videos back to back.. thank you, love your channel.. best channel on youtube hands down
Ladies and gentlemen this is more than information and entertainment.....

Props to Damian for his improvised pipe wrench technique. As a contractor I love seeing things like that. Very cool.
Glad you are on the road to recovery, that virus doesn't play. Just do not over do it. Be safe Mr. August and crew.
August, I know that was a whole of work but, you
and Damien once again make it look easy. 😉👊
Hope your back is feeling better.
Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤️🌲

August, Incredible work! God Bless Brother, Bob

Thanks. I put the effort in.

@@AugustHunicke thank you brother. The succubis box (tv) needs to go away. This is wholesome and makes you feel lame for NOT being like August.
That last "bomb" drop is the best reason anyone watching should hit that subscribe button !! AND just as important ... smash that like button. Really guys you are ALL AWESOME !!!
Thanks
AGREE and it's all FREE! Seriously, such a great PERSON, CREW & FAMILY! Take care!
Love the redirect... Have to put that in my tool box for later. Thanks for sharing August!
Thanks for the nice vid, we've learned stuff and it put a smile on my face ☺️ thanks August & crew !
Have missed your videos August, just watched the first 10 mins on a coffee break at work can't wait to see the rest after work
These are my favorite videos. I do tree work all day then get home and get to watch this. Happy days.
August well done ,I an not afraid of heights ,genie lift or scaffolding ,but on a rope that high up. You da man.
So happy you are well again , August !! Really missed your videos !! Alan in Victoria, B.C. Canada.

Nice to have you back….enjoying a great day, working a challenging tree, and producing a terrific video for us to share. Thanks. 👍
Another great job by the MASTER of trees! 👍👍
That is a large tree! Nice work August! Love these videos
Sweet ,start to finish. Nice work great information as always.
Great fun for us... outstanding work of an expert for you! Thanks... Grace and Peace.
When this man recovers from something he sure does hit the ground running. 👊
Outstanding crew great as always. Thank you both for doing it well.
Good tree man . the way we manipulate stuff is amazing. But ur teaching so many people how its done and the right way. U preach the process .

I have to give it to you August, you have balls and skill. Great video man. 👍👏👏🇮🇪
Awesome job, awesome video production, clearly a true professional at whatever you do. Respect sir 🙏🏻
Fantastic work. Glad to see you back on form. Missed you.
The bid is the bid. Words to live by.
That was a great watch thanks to you and the crew. Have a great resting weekend!
Amazing to ride the top down. Thanks. Well done. You & crew were happy, when it was done.
Beautiful photography and very interesting presentation.

Thats not work, thats ART👍👍👍RESPECT from the Netherlands.
Hi, thank you for your wonderfull videos. Why do you cut little tree branch before you cutt all the tree? If you dont little branches will fall with the big tree, no? Pascal.
No matter WHAT the bid, August.... it WASN'T ENOUGH! 🤯
Thanks for taking us along. ☝🙏
U are a man of many men.... that falling was the best I've ever seen
I'm in awe at not only the skill level and dedication it takes to do this work but the shear bravery to do such dangerous jobs.
I'm fascinated watching August do his craft but my anxiety level rises every time.
@Tree Man I don't climb. I'm a commercial roofer. Highest building 200 Feet, but there is really no comparison danger wise to tree work.
Thank you for the motivation. I’m just getting back into tree work. I live in Tennessee now but I grew up in your neck of the woods. I went to IVHS in Cave Junction, OR. And I was a spc. at the National Guard armory in Merlin. I miss that area.
August, what a great tip on the rigging line attached to the bridge idea. All these years of technical rigging (I have serial number 4 on my first GRCS) and I’ve never thought of that. If anything it’s just out of the way and totally within reach all at the same time. Thank you!

Howdy August, another great video thanks!

However being the professional that you are I knew the water would be off. Have A Day! ;~)
Excellent job guys! 👍🙂🇺🇸
Amazing accuracy and precision !!!
Awesome job! Much respect for climbing/cutting those trees.

Thank you so much. Words can heal.
Great to have you back!! Missed your video's. Great drop .... hope the crew / family and you are doing well. Take care - be safe. 'Spin'
Just awesome guy's 👌, Glad your back August👍😊👌🤓
I used to cut for an electric company here in central TX, but this is big boy timber. Subbed!
I hope you are well señor good to see you back in acción again beautiful job
Nice work guys a great job done. God bless
Good job August and you to Damien. That was a good size tree. Take care and have a blessed weekend and I'll see you on your next vidja

Thanks for the tip smashed a fence with an ash last year because it had a quick knarly jump, still don’t know why haha. Now I’ll use an open face !!!!
Excellent! No more surprises.

Thought that place looked familiar
Just amazing work, and in such a small area, stay safe everyone.
Great video. Great work. Glad you back and well.
Got a few questions. One what brand or model number is that saw, I see it’s a Panther bar. Also noticed new helmets, brand and model number if know. Can you post on your web site or email me directly?
Good perspective on how it’s done correctly as well as the narration, amazing fortitude.
Did you put the top into the other tree to minimize inertia on the stick?
As a layman, You would NOT think felling trees is an art form; but August makes it such!
Like to watch it!!
Ro Sham Bo always the way to go. Take it easy guys. I don't know why but I really enjoy your videos, they're kind of peaceful I guess.
