Beg to differ. Haters ARE jealous. On the other hand, August and his team get my respect and admiration - no spec of jealousy on my part whatsoever. BTW, to those who don’t like my comment, feel free to take a ticket and stand in line.
your videos obviously take a lot of time and effort to make so thanks for sharing , not only the tree work but its fun to see your crew also , always happy to see when you upload a new vid much appreciated, 😎
Back watching again, this time in chronological order. August puts his GoPro on limbs 100 feet in the air and speed lines them to the chipper. August puts his GoPro 100 feet up on a stem and falls the tree with a bark side view of the drop. August puts his GoPro on the ground and drops 100 foot trees on it. August hands his GoPro to Damien to put on his RC Car, "Don't brake my GoPro!" LOL! Love you guys! Stay safe!
You transcend perfection. A deep intuitive and empirical understanding of all the variables. You are also a solid mentor! Now- however tempting it might be to address the “haters” - that just gives “energy” to such folks. You live at the center of your dream- with humble power from within. That is what matters. Thank you for your time and the knowledge you share! Kind regards.
Some people just don't know the difference between being lucky and applying a strategy. It's unfortunate but inevitable to be criticised, if it were not you they would finde someone else. Keep up the great work!
Good explanation! That seems to be something that beginner tree fallers don’t learn right away. Only after missing the lay or hanging trees up for awhile do they start to look at the tops, how they are leaning and where the limbs are. You have to remember that you are falling the whole tree, not just the bottom 30 feet. Another great video! Thanks
A lot of skilled, experienced arborists out there. But very few that have created the informational and educational platform that you have. Your editing is really great.
August, I have never seen a tree felled "around a corner" like that. I'm amazed. Even Damian said: you can say whatever you want now. You are truly a Yoda! Great effects on the vidja too... ghosting the soldier of kindness garb.
Having this amount of accumulated knowledge and skills and willingness to share it unconditionally , is in my opinion very admirable, thanks August, and the rest of your crew, the sharing part is why i come back to this channel so often.
As a 100% amateur at this, I appreciate the skill it takes to do what you do and I appreciate the time you take explain not just the what you are doing but the why too. Thank you.
Augie, don't let the haters get you down. You know what you're doing. I always love watching you take trees down because you're the best at it. Your positive attitude is contagious and an inspiration. Much success. Thank you?
Love watching you guys. Truly know what you're doing. I was a "timber faller" back 40 yrs ago in the high Sierra's. I could never do what you guys do to the perfection you do it in the tight quarters you dwell in. Never mind the basement dwellers! You guys ROCK!
Your videos are worth every minute to learn how to drop big trees the right way. Thank you very much for educating us. You have probably save me countless thousands and shown me the way to properly hinge cut a tree safely. I thought I knew a bit from being taught by a mentor, but your methods are more safe and thoroughly effective. Lots of factors to consider so I very much appreciate understanding your formula at each location with unique circumstances. Natural forces and compensation direction are not so easy for just anyone to see without such extensive experience like you show us. Thank you tons!!
One of the things I like about 'felling" channels is the love shared between crew members. Sincere appreciation and care for your fellow crew. God Bless.
I know nothing about tree felling but I find your skills absolutely amazing. I wish I was young again and could watch you for real. You are a master of your craft.
I've been taking down trees in southern california for 15 years and yet every time I see your videos its amazing the skill you have and more amazing is passing the knowledge. Thank you....my respects to you sir and your crew
August, you have an understanding of how trees react to the full range of forces on their way down few can match. Lateral/compensation pulling has been a specialty of mine for years and it pleases me to no end to see someone with an even firmer grasp of the concept than I do. There is no hate here, only gratitude that you expend so much effort to show us your day. Thanks August!
Climbed mostly, but also feed nearky every day for the last 14.5 years and I still love watching this channel. Highly skilled, accurate efficiency..love it and stole more than a few techniques from here
Just found your channel, I know absolutely zero about removing trees, I have however seen many removed but none have shown your level of planning and precision you and your team of pro's have demonstrated, as one watches your videos it is absolutely clear that luck doesn't play any part of your strategies, amazing jobs carried out by clearly consummate professionals. Your videos are a joy to watch, thank you for all your time and effort in sharing these fantastic videos. Cheers. Andy. Scotland.
As a younger new tree professional, thank you for your videos and thanks for being a great role model! I have learned alot and really enjoyed your channel. Your the man!
I know very little about felling trees, but I recognize knowledge and skill when I see them meticulously applied to a craft. By my humble reckoning, August is a freakin' wizard. Hats off to your crew, as well. Damien starting the saw so fluidly did not go unnoticed.
Even if there were no climbing and no crane work, in my mind this is probably one of your best videos August!! The haters and armchair experts is not such a bad thing, because they make people like you and your team look even better every time "you get lucky".. Keep up the good work!!
I am impressed, nice and calm, and very professionally done. In my line of work, we a constantly doing what looks like hair raising work, which scares off most contractors, and after 30 years, we also seem to have been very lucky [99% of the time]. When in fact, it's meticulous planning, having a great crew and well kept equipment. Respect!
I'VE DROPPED ALOT OF TREES IN MY LIFE. BUT WHAT YOU AND YOUR CREW DO IS TRULY AMAZING AND TAKES A EXTREMIY COMPETANT PERSON TO REPEATEDLY SUCCEED AT. THE HELL WITH THE HATERS. I'VE ENJOYED FULLY EVERY VID YOU PUT OUT
Beautiful work there. Wow. Duly impressed. The experience and forethought and knowledge and confidence that goes into your work just shines through your well done videos. Thanks for making them. Stay safe and strong. Screw the haters. They're wee folk. Lord help them to catch up.
I don't know how you did that last tree, my favorite video so far and somehow you find time to do this work and make theses videos with all the camera angles and added graphics. Truly masterful.
Had so many ‘certified sawyers’ tell me I was doing it wrong, but almost 50 years experience is hard to beat. Cudos to you on a great job of ‘reading the tree.’
I understood exactly what you were describing on the third tree and the problem of bringing it down. I had a 60 footer leaning just like that, but I had 12 feet down range. Nicely done sir!
As always August your a real professional and you continue to prove that skill and experience rule. You are an absolute King among arborists. Keep it up. Keep using the crane when you can and ignore the haters. Anything to make jobs safer, faster, or keep the bid competitive is worth doing.
I started watching a few arborist on the tube. I think you and your crew are probably the best. I would describe your style as technical finesse. I've watched a lot of your newer stuff too. I can see how you have grown personally and professionally. The desire to learn and hone a craft never ends.
Hands down, u and your crew DOMINATE EVERY job and provide documentation to prove your expertise. Best darn arborist on RUclips. Keep it up, stay safe🤙
absolutely a skilled craftsman. some of the best work if not the best i have seen on youtube or real life. i know people in the tree service, They tell me stories saying that's why you have insurance because a tree falls what ever way it wants about 15% of the time regardless of persuasion. told him about your channel he said well they only show the 85% . i am pretty sure your the real deal. love all the camera angles and excellent explanations.
You guys have a lot of luck! It comes from your careful analysis, planning and execution of each tree felled. That generates all the luck. I learn so much from watching your videos. Sincere thanks to the whole team and keep felling...
I have on several occasions needed tree work done. The guys who did all scared the living tar right out of me! The last one just happened to be a neighbor of ours. He's retired now but it's nothing short of a miracle that he didn't get taken out by one of the trees he felled. Watching the kind of tree maintenance you guys do is fascinating! IMHO, there are tree guys and there are true arborists. August, you and your crew are absolutely the standard for tree cutters everywhere.
The right tools the right crew and the right mindset, makes for a long happy career my friend. I have fallen and pulled many a tree but I think you are on another level, your safety record speaks for itself!
From one tree surgeon to another tree surgeon, you’ll never stay in business if you drop trees with luck, easy to see you are a skilled professional! I climbed my last tree at the age of 64, Now I enjoy watching you work!
August, I have nothing but respect and admiration for your skills, in addition to your very warm personality which is reflected in how your team works so well together.
Great video. Very informational. I loved the voice over I don't think I've ever seen that before on RUclips I'm sure it's been done but I've just never seen it but more and most importantly I love the shirt. Glad to see y'all got your job done safely. Love and prayers to all the soldiers of kindness
Impressive, steering that tree in like that! There is always those that will be negative, but I have learned a lot from your videos, and have gotten more sure of myself in my cutting. Thanks again!
Good work as always August. And great explanation. Know it alls are everywhere no matter what we’re doing. I always say “love me or hate, you still know me”. Lol...anyways thanks again for showing your great work.
Love Damians reaction at the end. Great job by all as ever. Mr Hunicke you have put the time in and perfected your skills to a high level. You are able to share them with the world in a way everyone can learn and enjoy.
Just watched the last part of the video, you Sir, August are a Boss!!😎 What a rush, you dropped that tree so perfectly, like it owed you money and the repeated bounces was like you were knocking the haters with your expertise. What you have, is truly a God given talent. Haters 🤐 it!
That is Amazing, especially the left turn on the end. Sometimes I go out in the woods and there are these little gnats that fly around my face. They don't bite or sting; they are just annoying. I Don't give them any heed and they go bother someone else. Thank you very much!
You are a true professional. You have come along way since the days of "fake it till you make it." Loved your educated climber podcast. The story of your first job is awesome! Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing
You do good work and I like to hear explanations of why you make a certain series of cuts. I've worked ground crews, pruned thousands of apples and pears, cut lots of timber and firewood, took a Game of Logging course and got better with plunge cuts for directional felling, and worked as a technician for an urban forestry department in a municipality. Learned a lot from the felling crew and from private contractors. Never thought to second guess their choices. Keep up the good work.
I'm a bit late to the party on all this but how could anyone hate on these videos?! This is gold and I take my hat off to you Sir. I would work for you any day, your crew are very lucky and Damien jumping in to start your saw like that, put a smile on your face - that's perfect harmony. Love it.
Love that final fell. would love to watch you work in person one day. Ive been in the game 15 years and have learned a lot from your videos in recent years. never stop learning. Be kind and be humble. you and your team are top of your game.
August, keep doing what you do Buddy. I have yet to see any one else put a tree exactly where they say they will every time. I watch your channel so i can learn. Keep it up!!
Gaahd! I love your vids cos l KNOW YOU ALL KNOW, EXACTLY what you are doing. You're not safe & successful by accident, it's clear understanding of botany, physics, sun, wind & a clear passion to do it once, do it right, do it well. Youall make me smile & l'm indebted to anyone who makes me smile. Big Thanks!
I find your videos strangely relaxing, yet very rewarding, great camera work also. Bulls eye, bulls eye, bulls eye. You hit that right on the nail too. Good work champ., New Zealand
Another spectacular job. You sir are a tree falling genius no matter what the haters say. You must spend a good amount of time at the massage parlor getting those neck kinks worked out. Thank for sharing this.
Awesome job. How can anyone not appreciate the skills of this guy? He knows what he is doing. I would never second guess someone who has this kind of expertise.
I dont see how anyone could argue your skills or try and tell you how to do it!!! They obviously dont know tree work,. Or havent sat back and watched you or your crew walk the walk and not talk the talk!!! Much respect !!
Just being a smart ass in all due respect, does that same fellow make's sure you've got coffee when you get to the job sight, and keeps the windows clean in your truck?🤣 You've got someone there that really likes working with you. And yes, a person who anticipates what the leader needs in the next step is PRICELESS! in any line of work. Keep up the good work. Your the one gett'en the hard stuff done, not sitt'en on your ass being critical of those getting the job done, one way or another.
I just love your videos and i now it is not luck! You are truly a master in the tree-world :-) Love it when Damian starts your saw for you. All the best from Norway.
I have my license to cut trees in the UK it's a city and guilds 30 and 31 I have viewed a number of your video's and your accurately felling trees between others is very impressive. So I will view a few mor as I've learnt a few things from your expertise. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND WELL EXPLAINED REASONS FOR YOUR ACTIONS.
Fukkin A man , yo da sy enn tis . Loved that . I’ve just come across your stuff and I know I’m in the presence of someone who’s constantly looking and learning (IMO) . A priceless skill . xx
The haters realized how scary tree work is when they were on their step stools with a pair of loppers trimming the back yard tree... they’re just lookin out bro! Don’t you know after they make two or three cuts that qualifies them as “experts” here on RUclips. Keep up the good work! Thanks for taking us along!
I think the work you do is amazing! I'm just learning how to do tree work (at an advanced age). I wish I'd started younger and had a mentor like you. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. I've posted some videos and if you have the time I could really use some critique and advise. Peace
Don't understand the haters. What you do is amazing, have been going through many of your videos and the planning you do shows in the way those trees drop. Amazing work
Хобби
Mr. Hunicke, you need not defend yourself. Your outcomes speak for themselves. Thank you for sharing your passion and profession.
I was going to say something similar. You already have so i will just agree and 👍.
It takes experience to know how to drop trees. I’m pretty good but Mr. Hunicke is a pro and he does it everyday.
👍
The haters are just jealous. The rest of us are too, but we choose to have love for you.
Beg to differ. Haters ARE jealous. On the other hand, August and his team get my respect and admiration - no spec of jealousy on my part whatsoever.
BTW, to those who don’t like my comment, feel free to take a ticket and stand in line.

The negativity will die If not fed and watered! This community is so strong right now!
Couldn't have been put better!!!

Great comment.
Thats true, we just took down some 20”+ diameter red oaks and the landing zone was a prime concern.
A lot of skilled, experienced arborists out there. But very few that have created the informational and educational platform that you have. Your editing is really great.
What a joy it is to watch a true professional demonstrate their skills and abilities.
Hey August, i really appreciate when you talk us through whats going on. Damien has an awesome mentor.

Let the keyboard Warriors hate.... your fan club loves you
Josh Buck He the man when it come to felling trees..
"Oh Saw Boy! Could you come start my saw for me?" Like having a caddy on the golf course :)

That was one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever seen! She said it well, “You guys have a fun job.”
Just getting started in the tree service have watched lots of your videos. Very educational! Thanks and keep up the good work.
I would just love to come up there someday. And to just soak in and much knowledge as I can! You all are awesome peoples!!!
Thank you sir, very well put, so few people understand what is involved in doing tree work successfully, consistently.
...the last one was really, really impressive! Damien nailed it... I´ve never seen that done before. Hardcore.
August, you are an artist...another stellar performance! Bravo!
Even if there were no climbing and no crane work, in my mind this is probably one of your best videos August!!
The haters and armchair experts is not such a bad thing, because they make people like you and your team look even better every time "you get lucky"..
Keep up the good work!!
Nice technique with the green arrows. Helps viewers understand better what you are saying.
I'm in love with the yellow tuning fork graphic, a perfect goal every time.
This is really incredible to watch. All the factors you have to take into consideration is mind boggling, and the way your guys work as a team--wow.
I am impressed, nice and calm, and very professionally done.

It's great when you have a pile of minds on the same page and they all know what's next and how to get it finished quickly.
Just being a smart ass in all due respect, does that same fellow make's sure you've got coffee when you get to the job sight, and keeps the windows clean in your truck?🤣
You've got someone there that really likes working with you.
And yes, a person who anticipates what the leader needs in the next step is PRICELESS! in any line of work. Keep up the good work. Your the one gett'en the hard stuff done, not sitt'en on your ass being critical of those getting the job done, one way or another.
Chuckles.
Thank you Damion, I'm gonna have to cast that one to the TV. Beautiful work.
I just love your videos and i now it is not luck!
You are truly a master in the tree-world :-)
Love it when Damian starts your saw for you.
All the best from Norway.
Back injuries take forever to go away ....
I have my license to cut trees in the UK it's a city and guilds 30 and 31 I have viewed a number of your video's and your accurately felling trees between others is very impressive. So I will view a few mor as I've learnt a few things from your expertise. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND WELL EXPLAINED REASONS FOR YOUR ACTIONS.
Fukkin A man , yo da sy enn tis . Loved that . I’ve just come across your stuff and I know I’m in the presence of someone who’s constantly looking and learning (IMO) . A priceless skill . xx
August, you are amazing! Your crew members are blessed having you as their leader and employer.
Nice work Sir,
You make it look easy.
It is great that you talk the issue through. Whether the camera is there or not you work the issue through.
That. was. INCREDIBLE!!! Epic. (cheering and hats off to you guys)
The haters realized how scary tree work is when they were on their step stools with a pair of loppers trimming the back yard tree... they’re just lookin out bro! Don’t you know after they make two or three cuts that qualifies them as “experts” here on RUclips.
Keep up the good work! Thanks for taking us along!
I think the work you do is amazing! I'm just learning how to do tree work (at an advanced age). I wish I'd started younger and had a mentor like you. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. I've posted some videos and if you have the time I could really use some critique and advise.
Peace
Nice work August!! Gotta love a good back leaner.
Great shot! really using ALL the elements together, great leadership and great crew, and I know that was not easy, way to go men!
Don't understand the haters. What you do is amazing, have been going through many of your videos and the planning you do shows in the way those trees drop. Amazing work
