Almost utterly speechless… I found the channel just a few days ago and I've no idea how many video's I've watched back to back. And then I found this… The edits, the passion, the respect, the humanity, the professionalism, the understanding, the patience, the strength and then this… The poet. Who knew that the Monkey Beaver had such deep underlying currents. Thank you August, for sharing.
I love this. Your monologue/ poetry is amazing. Only just came across it, I am slowly trying to catch up with your videos. You are a very deep and thought provoking person Mr Hunicke.
That was awesome!! So many good lines in that poem its hard to pick my favourite. "Your one of a few, through and through, a Doctor and Assassin" "but when I come home, from hard knock schooled my kids hug the smell of exhaust, mixed with cedar" Superb video clip, very well done. I have been a British Arborist for 24 years, and you have inspired me to go to work this morning. Thank you!
You are an artist. This was fantastic. I haven't seen all your videos yet, But I already know this is my favorite one. Thanks for creating this. Climb hard man
I started following a few weeks back and have been working through the older ones. It's a joy to see the skills, teamwork and leadership in your videos but now you've topped it with an excellent poem. Thank you so much.
I’ve been following your channel for the last year and going back to the beginning… you have been an inspiration for me. Thank you for continuing to share your tree life with us! If I could give this one two thumbs up I would 👍👍!! Love the poem
August you are awesome I’ve been watching your videos every night for a year straight. I have not only learned new techniques and rigging but also have helped me perfect stuff that I already knew how to do stuff as simple as speed lining. I don’t have the climbing nor rigging gear that you have. But slowly getting there. One tree at a time. I’m made for this too!! You have also helped my wife see what I do. Thanks would love to come climb with you!! I’m trying to get a go-pro but a new rope comes first lol
I agree with X-man . . . The poem is classic, beautifully written . . . genius! "I'm not alone, not the only one known to love the sound of hinge wood moan . . .". This video is entertaining from start to finish . . . truly legendary!
Amazing in every way August!!! GoPro should definitely be showing you some love now for all the ways you showed other tree guys how to destroy cameras. Epic is the right word.
I haven't seen all of your videos Gus, but so far this is my favorite. Known you for about twenty ears now; a few of those as your ground man. And this is truly you through and through. Great lyrics however this one really resonates: “An inch is as good as a mile.” haha we had a few "clean your underwear" close ones.
Prob my favorite video of yours!! Just wrecking stuff ……I like the old school stuff … Blake’s hitch … rugged clothes … classic August orange lid …. What kinda hard too is that any how ?
Hey August, just want to say i really appreciate your videos. I Always look forward to your new releases. And i study your videos trying to se and learn tips and tricks. thanks again for sharing!
Awesome August Hunicke, It feels great to know there are others out there who feel the passion running through their veins for our line of work :) Keep it up buddy
This is what the real August Hunicke is made of. This is great. I don't think your mom would change a single thing about you for all the Clairol® hair color in the world.
like your style, physics is the law, and I still can't believe I get paid for this. Stay alive, hug your kids when you get home, get paid and keep on cutting!
Once again an amazing video only out done by your arbo skills and well maybe your poetry. Keep it up August and I totally agree with another comments, "What exactly could you not like about this video?"
Very entertaining to watch. I do not do this kind of work so I appriciate your showing so many camera angles and enough of the ropes to give me an idea of how it is all accomplished. Looks more like fun than work.
EPIC AS ALWAYS MAN!!! on a side note. Ever seen a oak tree struck by lighting that Blew all the bark off the trunk uptoo 75ft away, Split the trunk down the middle and made the top fall out of the tree? That happened here a few days ago. im in the process of cleaning up the trunk now lol.
Love the video. Im not a arborist im just a climber for assassination purposes. I think only true climbers fully understand the video. Good stuff keep it up
i was constantly pulled out of the crepe myrtle trees as a little kid by dad who was a tree climber for 30 yrs,haha trying to stop the inevitable I guess. great video august.
I no this video is from 6 years ago but I would love this songs lyrics for my English class I'm a 17 year old arborist I'm be in the youth apprenticeship program for a year now climbing trees weekly I'm soon to be 18 and starting my Canadian Ontario apprenticeship for the next 4 years. And I'm doing a project in my English class that this song would be great for.

You hit it right on the head with this one August! I'm still climbing at 60, have been since my teens, you explained it all right here!
That was awesome!!

"Your one of a few, through and through, a Doctor and Assassin"

Climb hard man
I'm addicted to this industry is was born to do this it's in my veins wouldn't change it for the world
I hear that my dad did it my grandpa and great grandpa. Bunch of uncles and 3 cousins. I can do just about anything but this makes me happy

Absolutely Arboristically Articulated! Awesome.
That poem was an amazing piece of work. WOW! Tree work was pretty good too ;-) Editing was awesome. I think your best video to date. A new level.
YES! This video sums up an ideal modern arborist tough, yet intellectual. Pragmatic and passionate. Hit me right in the Vegas nerve. Thank you!
Right on Dylan. Fire up that Vegas.
That's as cool as a cucumber in the snow my friend!!! What a masterpiece!
Goosebumps brother. GOD BLESS YOU
The love a Arborist haves is more than a human vein can contain.
Channeling the spirit of Robert W Service with your poem. It'll be a classic. What a great ride this video is!
Still one of the best Arborist videos out. Makes me wonder how many arborists you created with this video. As always much respect August.
Mike Frizzell I’m one!
My Guy, Your words are awesome. Love this video.
August you are awesome I’ve been watching your videos every night for a year straight.

Thank you. I hope it inspires better stuff than mine, then it will have truly achieved it's purpose.
It will be very hard to beat!!

Thanks Darris
Youre a fantastic representative of us guys with a few scars from life just tryin to find our way living a better life
Amazing in every way August!!! GoPro should definitely be showing you some love now for all the ways you showed other tree guys how to destroy cameras.
Epic is the right word.
LOVE the reasoning. Yeah, I could be a reason for a bunch of broken cameras.
Pure awesome thanks August. It's a give and take kind a thing.
Thanks Matt. Rock the Canadian canopy brother.
That poem is quite a piece! Very strong images. Thanks
"monkey beaver" haha, I love it! epic poem! epic footage! epic speed lining over the house! you're not just a Jedi arborist sir, you're an artist!

Awesome August Hunicke, It feels great to know there are others out there who feel the passion running through their veins for our line of work :) Keep it up buddy
This is what the real August Hunicke is made of. This is great. I don't think your mom would change a single thing about you for all the Clairol® hair color in the world.

Very entertaining to watch. I do not do this kind of work so I appriciate your showing so many camera angles and enough of the ropes to give me an idea of how it is all accomplished. Looks more like fun than work.
Thanks Chad. I edit out stuff that doesn't look fun.
So Gus is not really a super hero? It's just a movie.
I don't know how you keep out doing the one before but you do. This is your best work yet August! Stay safe brother.
Thanks, they are all a blast to make.
Dang August... That was GREAT! You're an artist and an arborist!
Thanks, new word, Artorist.
