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! ;~)
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.
"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 :)
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.
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...
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!!!!
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....
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 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
Yeah it's the most fun thing to do in my opinion even more fun than climbing, I've been doing it a lot with dead trees recently. Although negative rigging a top and letting it run comes close to it.
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!
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!
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 💪👍✌
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!
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)
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....
Interesting climb technique at 4 minute ,mark. in utility we are taught climb High side or the plumb opposite of the lean and it seems easier on the body.in my experience . THo great vid just two cents . Also your play by play needs to ad some Hockey terms. Like come on Top bar POST... STAY SAFE Crew
Jeff could've sent the top more towards the side, which puts tension on the rigging before the top comes off, decreasing shock load to Damien's tree ,not that it really matters though.
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.
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 👍👍👍
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 .
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!
@@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.
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?
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 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.
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 hate those go pro things on my helmet. I might even purchase a 3rd protos "if" phanner decides to make an integrated camera in "contract" with go pro🤷
Jelloy name is brandon i have created two small compact grapphooks they are superhandy for you how sometimes the rigginglines are just a few feet out of reach an we some times use are handsaw to reach it not good for the rope in the long run but these rope retrieval grappling hook make it a breeze i would be like to add them to your web site for sale please let me know what you think.
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.
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?

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.
The sound of FLAT makes me smile!
Yes first to post. August you are the man and the monkey beaver kit sling line kit is awesome
Buckin billy Ray sent me over , I enjoyed that video , keep up the good work .
Thanks for sharing your hard won experience.
You guys are legendary tree climbers in my book I'm a climber and what you guys do makes me jealous
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! ;~)
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.
A, battery saw does very well. Less noise is good! Love the landings.
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.
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.
Nothing boring with theses vlogs. Something interesting every time.
"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 :)

"Play by play" was great!!!😁

Great job guys that tree you were rigging from that thing was rocking and rolling
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....
I remember that swaying. Even in a bucket the tree goes one way and the saw goes the other.

August Hunicke "The Tiger Woods" of the woods, pun intended!!!
Brings back a lot of memories . 61 and still climbing.
.
I do not remember seeing you take them down this way. Nice work.
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.

Enjoy and very impressed with your work sir. Thanks again.
There's something appealing about cutting a tree down from the bottom up, by suspending it from the air and lowering it one length at a time.
Hi doc
Yeah it's the most fun thing to do in my opinion even more fun than climbing, I've been doing it a lot with dead trees recently. Although negative rigging a top and letting it run comes close to it.
Always great video!! Wish I could come up there and work with y’all for a day
i think it would be way fun to hang out with you guys. good team of guys working together.....
Damn I like that rodeo trick save ya from going down stay up like a boss
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.

I like how u said "you really test your logic when you put yourself in the experiment" makes alot of sense 🙌
You are warmer because you are closer to the sun. (Son?)
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.

THo great vid just two cents . Also your play by play needs to ad some Hockey terms. Like come on Top bar POST... STAY SAFE Crew
Pros and cons
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.
Man that 540i rips!
Need to make some spikes would love to see a pair of monkey beaver aluminums
Jeff could've sent the top more towards the side, which puts tension on the rigging before the top comes off, decreasing shock load to Damien's tree ,not that it really matters though.
How do you tension your rigging line? Pulley system or GRCS or ... ? Nice to see those floating trees!
I NEED THAT PHONE HOLDER...DANG ITS ABOUT TIME..LOL
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.
August, on 31:20 what’s the name of that steel rope please. What brand? Thank you.
So I’m watching videos from two years ago and I get to see Adam but the adds are current Mr smooth hands .
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.

Fascinating, frightening way to cut down trees. Gasped so many times!
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
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
What was the thing he was using to tension up the tree at the bottom?
Hand ascender.
@@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.
Nuff said. August+crew=pro.
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.
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?
Easier to gaff out when your balance is up high
FLAMING ARROW!!!
Great work August and crew! Thanks for all you do buddy. Awesome all the way around guys!
"I was kind of cold and chilly before I started up this tree but, climate change or something since I started." 😂🤣😂
I find, when wearing spurs up in a tree.. They make my legs ache LIKE A BITCH! *haha*
Ahh yes the flamingo. I was just explaining this to someone yesterday.
When Damien was tensioning the rope at the base , was the rope already wrapped ? How was he capturing the gain?
Thank you A Man n Team! 🎉
Butifull
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.

Those slammers are deliciously rad. My little guy Aksel (3) asked if the flat log slammers were gun shots. Arborist bombs. Cheryl and I say hi.
WHY do they need irrigation (irritation) in the PNW?
This place is dryer than the sun in summer.
Every year it burns down.
My bad. I hate irritation systems.
👍👍👍
I’ve had a nice afternoon watching your videos! I love your channel.❤❤❤
Let’s get 100,000 subs before Christmas! If any team deserves it, it’s August and his team.
What was that click and jump in your rope at 23:24? I played it like 10 times trying to figure it out. Lol
Rope under tension just snapping over a staub up the line somewhere.
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
Not one women has questioned to Sturdiness of my noodle....that I am aware of anyway.🤣😅😆
Just when I notice one of the crew getting to close...your subtitles make the warning for us watching. Great!
Håkan Ledin Sweden. have you tested the Stihl MSA 161 battery saw
I hate those go pro things on my helmet. I might even purchase a 3rd protos "if" phanner decides to make an integrated camera in "contract" with go pro🤷
What's up august 😆.💪 beautiful! !!!!!!!!😲😲😲😲😲😲😊👌👍
Did you actually lift those trees with an Omniblock?
Jelloy name is brandon i have created two small compact grapphooks they are superhandy for you how sometimes the rigginglines are just a few feet out of reach an we some times use are handsaw to reach it not good for the rope in the long run but these rope retrieval grappling hook make it a breeze i would be like to add them to your web site for sale please let me know what you think.
Play by play, neat, cool, great, fun, on spot, ect. Only I get dizzzy.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be much of a fan of the noodling feeling!
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.
Had you left the unisender and went back to the sigzag? And if so where did you find the old version?
What tool is Damien using to put tension on the rope at 16:44? Looks pretty handy for taking those very large picks.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family from Norn Iron!
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?
Would love to know how to meet up with you guys on a job and get up there. Lol watching from ohio
Man needs a tub grinder style chipper to just lob stuff straight in…just don’t fall in it or sling a rope in….
You read my mind

lol 25:00 if you hear banjos...get back in the truck...
Would have been cool to see Damien slice that tree then lower it right into the chipper
