I love the channel. I tell the boys about it. I lo e that you don't compromise your work because some safety guy thinks you can push and cut at the same time. It's great. Nothing phases u. Thankyou for your contribution to our small community.
Thank you for the quality of the video. Pictures are so clear. It really does make me feel like I'm there with you. I can almost smell the environment. There is such beauty all around us and within each of us. Keep doing what you were made for. Maybe you could use that....
Howdy August and Crew, or is it Howdy "The Lord Of Flatness" and Crew? Great video August caught myself laughing and grinning along with you as you successfully landed each chunk with a resounding "SPLAT". Always enjoy the camaraderie of your crew as you perform the work. Have A Day! ;~)
Great and good team sir, always watching your video for learn your climb and rigging. Good team very friendly each other most liked your family member 👍👍👍
Electric chain saws make me think of an electric knife for wood. i had one to do minor trimming around the mobile home park i managed for years. loved it. resident simply plugged me in to their home, then i trimmed... i learned a lot from grinning veteran tree guys ,, laughing at my "Toy Saw" bless them! . easy and fun!
Awesome videos I’m a commercial fisherman slowly saving and buying to start my own tree Buisness you and your crew have been nothing but motivation inspiration and a wealth of knowledge! Thanks for taking the time to do these videos!
PG Tips Amazing work great camera angles . So proficient I’m in awe Love watching tree felling your team are so tight super communication !!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
17:50 - _"It's like Boeing-747 degrees_" (I like what you did there) - I'm still watching @August, I'm just not yammering in the comments, as much - Cheers (respect)
"There would be screams"...that made me chuckle, lol. Realistically, most people would need diapers to be up there next to that block holding a tree of similar size :)
Split video is a great invention. Then comes the side August is in. Then the brain just watches the ground crew. Spot on, close the eyes. At least he does not get upset with our comments about queasiness. Good teacher, patient.
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...
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.
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.
Every frickin video I pick up little golden tidbits of genius...... I’ve been struggling with going up these 45 degree spars..... it’s so uncomfortable on the top side of them. Next time I’ll try the underside. THANKS AUGUST!!!!
It was cool how Damien bounced that stem over the stump so it was in the lay with the others. Too bad he didn't call it beforehand though; doesn't count. 🤷🤣 Awesome video as always, you guys are great!
Geometry is in my head and not in my vocabulary ! 🤘 Wicked cool video , this wannabe is getting schooled ! I got several dead red oaks and can't wait to do my first tops .
I didn’t climb under the lean for 15 years, started doing it after watching you. It’s awesome, I think in the past my brain said my chances were better surviving a failure from on top. 😆❤️
That ground worker putting his hand up when Damien revved the saw scared me for a second. Should really maintain a safer distance from the cutter... loved the video though August. Climb safe.
Good Morning August, I think I am developing a condition called "August dependency" it seems I can not fully enjoy coffee in the early hours of the day without hearing a calm voice and a chainsaw. Right on, Smiling, George.
August asks how much longer before they will be ready. Damion says they were just waiting for August to finish his narration. It's really Monkey Beaver Video Productions, Inc. and they sideline in tree work! Awesome quintuple flop series! You guys stay safe!
Hi August; I’m in the UK. You Just found you on RUclips & your videos are very professional and informative; your team work really well together. I look fwd to watching your vids as they are published. Could you do a quick vid on the gear you wear inc the ‘spats’ you wear on your feet to climb trees please. Great work & please keep it up.
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.
Found those snaps at wesspur, they slide the best of any clip… but not that well😆 we have bent a couple gates so we run them till the gate bothers and then scrap em!
Lots of climbers despise climbing up the bottom side of a lean, but I prefer it most times. Especially if there isn't a good tie in directly above or behind me climbing up the high side of lean
Well- if i was working as a tree cutter id dang well have a Monkey/Beaver climbing harness and all the accessories that u can add to it lol- Thank u August for ur invention
Hey August, what were the fellers putting the rope through at the base of the tree to capture the gain as they tensioned the rope through the carabiner with the ascender?
I will be visiting the website shortly I just got off of work I'm redesigning my suspenders to hold. To hold my Bionic prosthesis.! I have to customize all my rigs to accommodate my bionic leg because it's not just flesh and Bone It's a combination of robotics and carbon fiber and silicone gel that make up the bionic leg prosthesis holding it on is another story in the future things will be a little different my bionic will be connected directly to bone true Osteo integration I will be the cyborgmonkeybeaver p.s. I love the upgrades to the belt
Freekin perfect 👌, I'm training some rook's,it's so great to refer to some things in your vids to help further explain what, why,and how!! We do what we do!! Safe, Efficient and go home to our families every night.! THANK YOU 💪👍✌
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....
On a top bar cut what are you trying to do with the cut?? Are you trying to get the limb to go certain direction or is just an easier cut in the position your in while in the tree?
hey august do you why its gets warmer as you climb the tree no? cos you are getting close to the sun lol.............what do you do with all the chips? here in Australia the tree guys sell it to nurseries they dye the chips a variety of colours , red green , yellow brown even blue it makes great mulch and lasts for years buts not cheap.
@@AugustHunicke ah okay, I have only taken down a few trees like this but we always just use one rope and a few wraps around a tree. it's hard to get a lot of tension with just 2 guys pulling a rope that's why I was curious.
How do fir noodles compare to a white pine noodle? I mostly climb pines and still am getting acclimated to the strength and its capability for sending large tops, or at least holding me lol.
Brings back a lot of memories . 61 and still climbing.
.
I can do this all day and come home and watch your videos all night. Drives my wife batty. 😂 love the videos August. The crew you have seem well knit.
The sound of FLAT makes me smile!
I like how u said "you really test your logic when you put yourself in the experiment" makes alot of sense 🙌
I’ve had a nice afternoon watching your videos! I love your channel.❤❤❤
Hey August and Damien and the rest of the gang. I love watching your videos.
Enjoy and very impressed with your work sir. Thanks again.
My dad called my rope tying attempts "Gopher Knots" because he said he had to go for a knife to cut them out! Thank you for sharing and stay safe.
I love the channel. I tell the boys about it. I lo e that you don't compromise your work because some safety guy thinks you can push and cut at the same time. It's great. Nothing phases u. Thankyou for your contribution to our small community.
Yes first to post. August you are the man and the monkey beaver kit sling line kit is awesome
Thank you for the quality of the video. Pictures are so clear.

Great vidja August. Y'all did a great job. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next vidja.
Thank you A Man n Team! 🎉
Buckin billy Ray sent me over , I enjoyed that video , keep up the good work .
Just when I notice one of the crew getting to close...your subtitles make the warning for us watching. Great!
August "you really trust your logic". YOU really trust your faith too. Good on ya. 👍🏻👌🏻
Great and good team sir, always watching your video for learn your climb and rigging. Good team very friendly each other most liked your family member 👍👍👍
Loved this one August. It must have been quite the feeling the first time you topped a tree and it jumped around like those here.
A, battery saw does very well. Less noise is good! Love the landings.
My wife and I took a oak tree down that was infected with termites because of storm damage with good results. thank you for your content.
You guys are legendary tree climbers in my book I'm a climber and what you guys do makes me jealous

I quit my job at 21 years old with no experience and like barley any gear I now have inusrce and am doing a 4500$ tree tm
All your videos are enjoyable and I look first to see if there's a new one. This one is outstanding.
I LOVE THE JADEN ANDERSON hand push/palm notch! I use it sometimes & can't help but stop & think of J for a minute.
Good video
STAY SAFE
To me, its not how noodly a pole feels, its when you feel the groundsaw loud and clear on your spar. Feels like bad joojoo to me haha.
Nothing boring with theses vlogs. Something interesting every time.
You are having so much fun. Does a body good!
PG Tips Amazing work great camera angles . So proficient I’m in awe Love watching tree felling your team are so tight super communication !!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great video, August! Love commentary too.
So very flatness!
4 times!
Great work guys as usual.
Stay safe

Thanks for sharing your hard won experience.
Great work August and crew! Thanks for all you do buddy. Awesome all the way around guys!

How do you tension your rigging line? Pulley system or GRCS or ... ? Nice to see those floating trees!
Every frickin video I pick up little golden tidbits of genius...... I’ve been struggling with going up these 45 degree spars..... it’s so uncomfortable on the top side of them. Next time I’ll try the underside. THANKS AUGUST!!!!
It was cool how Damien bounced that stem over the stump so it was in the lay with the others. Too bad he didn't call it beforehand though; doesn't count. 🤷🤣 Awesome video as always, you guys are great!
Great job guys that tree you were rigging from that thing was rocking and rolling
Geometry is in my head and not in my vocabulary ! 🤘 Wicked cool video , this wannabe is getting schooled ! I got several dead red oaks and can't wait to do my first tops .
Never seen a tree cut like that was very impressive 👏 ..
Nice job guys I learn a lot from you guys We have a small tree services business here in indiana and I’m enjoy your videos thanks for your time
I'd never seen that done till now' nice teamwork 👍🏻
Nice work; Nice show.
"Play by play" was great!!!😁
Your a very brave man to climb a tree and cut brances
August, on 31:20 what’s the name of that steel rope please. What brand? Thank you.
You guys are the best thank you for the transfer of important technics
What tool is Damien using to put tension on the rope at 16:44? Looks pretty handy for taking those very large picks.
I didn’t climb under the lean for 15 years, started doing it after watching you. It’s awesome, I think in the past my brain said my chances were better surviving a failure from on top. 😆❤️
That ground worker putting his hand up when Damien revved the saw scared me for a second. Should really maintain a safer distance from the cutter... loved the video though August. Climb safe.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family from Norn Iron!
Loving it bud trusting small trees good rigging
Good Morning August, I think I am developing a condition called "August dependency" it seems I can not fully enjoy coffee in the early hours of the day without hearing a calm voice and a chainsaw. Right on, Smiling, George.
That second top went *INSANELY* smooth
I do not remember seeing you take them down this way. Nice work.
This video is like going to work on a good day with a great crew , only bad thing is is i'm not tired.
August asks how much longer before they will be ready. Damion says they were just waiting for August to finish his narration. It's really Monkey Beaver Video Productions, Inc. and they sideline in tree work! Awesome quintuple flop series! You guys stay safe!
I remember that swaying. Even in a bucket the tree goes one way and the saw goes the other.
Hi August; I’m in the UK. You Just found you on RUclips & your videos are very professional and informative; your team work really well together. I look fwd to watching your vids as they are published. Could you do a quick vid on the gear you wear inc the ‘spats’ you wear on your feet to climb trees please. Great work & please keep it up.
Play by play, neat, cool, great, fun, on spot, ect. Only I get dizzzy.
Saw a monkeybeaver patch on a rope bag today and realized it was yours! Cool to see in the wild
Echoing log thuds got me hyped !!
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.

Nice shiny new truck
Great video editing.
"Keep shaking that bush boy". Cheers
i think it would be way fun to hang out with you guys. good team of guys working together.....
Found those snaps at wesspur, they slide the best of any clip… but not that well😆 we have bent a couple gates so we run them till the gate bothers and then scrap em!
Yep
That looks like so much fun
Do you have a video on how you rig the base of the tree with a pulley system to remove all the stretch in the rope?
at 12:05 is someone manning the end of that rope or how does it work that it directs the tree top?
Lots of climbers despise climbing up the bottom side of a lean, but I prefer it most times.
Especially if there isn't a good tie in directly above or behind me climbing up the high side of lean
If only I could get my guys to run them that smooth
I dig the handlebar 'stache! Would that be a half wrap???
I learned a lot from you. thanks
Well- if i was working as a tree cutter id dang well have a Monkey/Beaver climbing harness and all the accessories that u can add to it lol- Thank u August for ur invention
I saw Reon with the Merlo. Wow!
Hey August, what were the fellers putting the rope through at the base of the tree to capture the gain as they tensioned the rope through the carabiner with the ascender?
Nice shot Damien. Was secretly hoping you'd miss by 6" like I do occasionally. 😬
Good job 👍👈
I will be visiting the website shortly I just got off of work I'm redesigning my suspenders to hold. To hold my Bionic prosthesis.!

Always great video!! Wish I could come up there and work with y’all for a day

Your a legend damien

Also just ordered me some opsal pads for my spurs I cannot wait to get them
When Damien was tensioning the rope at the base , was the rope already wrapped ? How was he capturing the gain?
I prefer to climb on the leaning side of the tree rather than the overhang side and I never had an answer as to why until now
hey august do you why its gets warmer as you climb the tree no? cos you are getting close to the sun lol.............what do you do with all the chips? here in Australia the tree guys sell it to nurseries they dye the chips a variety of colours , red green , yellow brown even blue it makes great mulch and lasts for years buts not cheap.
What was the thing he was using to tension up the tree at the bottom?
Hand ascender.

Damn I like that rodeo trick save ya from going down stay up like a boss
