    Great work August, occasionally we get pine plantations with red pines that are a hard pine and sturdy like those firs, 50 feet shorter in the Midwest:) The GRCS would prove useful in this application. I consider Greg Good a friend so I’m partial:) Thanks for all the great angles, the beautiful views all around you are awesome!

    I personally think that you could qualify for the new U.S. Olympic Tree Tossing team August. I like the blow by blow commentary because it showcases your prediction ability. You're the boss and those trees know not to misbehave. Thanks for the video...

  • @JeremyHamaker
    @JeremyHamaker 3 года назад +4

    Yes, I think the play by play is very interesting and valuable. It shows that every move you make is thought out and intentional. It's only fast because of experience, not because it's being done with very little attention/care.

    • @kevinhammatgameoftrees7080
      @kevinhammatgameoftrees7080 3 года назад +1

      Efficiency is not rushing, it is the fluidity of decision making. August can out climb younger climbers not by strength and agility but by presence of mind and fluid decisions.

    Well, I feel alot better knowing I'm not the only one to employ such shenanigans. The trees here in West Michigan more times than not sprawl out instead of being straight up and skinny as a rail. Your rope guys are some of the best in the business; not enough "o's" in smooth. I saw they used mechanical advantage at the bottom with an ascender, would you by chance give us a closer look at that set up? I was considering getting the CMI Rope Jack to help my rope guys with the slack in the line especially on rough bark or stickers, but if you already have a mechanical advantage mousetrap I'd like to try encorporating it.

    You are just a video machine. Slamming wood in the groove. Fun to watch. I think it's experience thing. You seem to just know what it takes to get the timing down.
    Got a quick question, how's the 540i compared to the 2511t? How does the weight/sound level/power/instant on thing play out, and how do you decide which one to take up? I get if you're in a noise sensitive/burn ban area, it's all electric, but what's your preference?
    Might not be such a quick one as I thought, a lot of factors there....
