One of the main things I take away from this video (and several others) is how much faith, trust and overall confidence August has in the team he has assembled. I love how he trusts each of his guys, and gives them the opportunity, to do every aspect of the tree business. I can't tell you how many times I've seen business owners try to stifle a person's advancement, for the sake of trying to keep that person in a certain spot. I commend you August for being such a good guy and taking that into the business owner position. Great job team, for taking these opportunities to better yourself and overall the team you are part of. Bravo gentlemen!
He had to go through a bunch of losers to get the winners he has now. And i do fully agree. Ive watched august excell in business for the last 5 years. He had a rough start it humbled him in the right ways.
August, I’ve never commented on a RUclips video in all my years but you capturing Adams reactions to his first crane picks is the best thing I’ve ever seen 😝
It does not get old to watch August thread big wood with crane in tight spaces. Adams first pick shows how far Damien and Jeff have pushed their craft over time. Thank you for sharing as always.
Waaay to go Adam, another milestone along the road to an overflowing sense of personal worth and achievement. It takes a lot to step out from your comfort zone. And way to go August for promoting that sense of wellbeing in your employees. What a crew! Regards from Scotland.
The quality of your cinematography has improved dramatically, it now matches your editing quality. All you need now is seamless communication between all your crew. I’m sure its only a matter of time.Thank you for your content I look forward to more.
Adam I've seen you for many many videos, proud to be allowed to watch your first crain topping. Congrats 👏 👏. Thanks for sharing your feelings as it was happening. You are the real deal. With high regard. WW1
Way to go Adam. That must be a strange feeling when it’s going the opposite way gravity says it should when you cut it. Never done that in the 40 years I’ve been cutting- good for you
You are so wonderful a mentor to your crew/buddies. I had the thought that the time spent doing filming breaks up the mundane physical parts of the day, and instead of what some people would think non productive wasted time, it’s actually a check valve and it keeps morale up. What a team you are!
Skill set for August Hunicke's Crew - Must be skilled in: Saw, Chipper, Vermeer, Climbing, Drone Operation, General Filming, Video Narration. Way to go Adam!! Such respect for the work on the ground, and in the tree
Your videos are above and beyond. Viewer gets a taste of it all. Your crew GREAT! Thumbs up to Adam. Nicolas hit it with "GENUINE" for the whole kit and kaboodle.
Adam!!!!! 😎👊👊👊 That..... was..... AWESOME!!!!! 😃😃😃 Well done Adam! I've got a good bit of "tree time" but I have not yet had the pleasure of doing a crane pick. You killed it! .....I'm jealous. 😉 Another outstanding video August, thanks for taking the time to get the video, edit and post it up..... especially the candid reactions of Adam. That was absolutely priceless!!! Oh!!! Thank you so much for the T shirt. I've just been so crazy busy I haven't had a chance to give you a "shout out" for it. I really appreciate it..... and tell Liberty I said thank you. 😃👍 Keep yourselves safe! Randy
John Dunbar s comment was spot on , wow that's how I'm sure a lot of us seen or been around bosses who do just that, they fear losing a good employee to experience etc. One benefit of small business if you get into great one do whatever it takes to keep that job!🙂 Excellent work Adam!
Priceless reaction Adam! It’s easy to see that you’re passionate about ground work & very proficient, so it’s cool to see you conquer another skill. Killed it man!
Thanks for humanising the climb, Adam’s obvious Joy in the Job is only possible if the crew want him to succeed. I know you have him covered but you caught the absolute rush of setting the top free and then knowing you have no control over what your cut set in motion; electric, possibly your best video yet.
Excellent job up there adam!! I did my first rigging job (I am a noob) last week and had all the same feels too haha. I loved Augusts' reporting from the ground. All of you guys are incredible
Adam has gracefully expanded his knowledge & skill level. He seems to be very intelligent, & has progressed into a quality employee. I think he would make a great everyday climber, but I think he realised the team needs an A+ ground guy....since you have a full crew of A+ climbers already. This was great to watch! CONGRATS ADAM💪😎👍 YOU DID GREAT! Way to build your guys up August👍 STAY SAFE ALL

Your team works very well together. You have done well to establish true esprit de corps with your men August.

Oh, almost forgot...picked up a 500i a few weeks ago,full rap..loved it so much I made a phone call to my dealer Stroups Equipment out of Redding(great guys).he hooked me up with a 2nd...I feel so happy ..how is that when spending so much $$,well, plan and simple, BAD TO THE BONE WOOD TERMINATOR X 2...HEEEEEEEEE HEEE HOO HO ...life is good with skip tooth...I guess that's why I don't mind I lost a front tooth during carona...Im a skip tooth😉
Way to go Adam...IF i was to get anywhere near that high (and that is one HUG if)...I would have been sweating gum drops...add running a saw...ummmmm...NOPE!! lol Thanks for another great video August. Cheers from NB Canada
Adam "gathered" himself well! Way to go Adam! Great raw organic footage! .... visceral "in-the-moment" adrenalin, excitement, guts, fear, right? .... dropping the handsaw while sheathing it says it all, right? ... but you are the man, Adam! Next time will be a piece of cake right? .... just don't become complacent, sir. You have the best of teacher(s)
no offense meant about don't become complacent..... I just read August's description of your experience and skills, Adam.... but I'm always stuff like that to people. Best regards, sir.
Haha HELLLLLL YEAHHHH ADAM!!! The whole fan base loves you brother! Congrats on the first crane pic. I don't climb on a stick boom ever but taking picks with a treemek head still has me feeling like this sometimes. Good work fellas
balls of steel Adam im so impressed man and what a rush much much much respect i cant weight to feel that August is some kinda mentor so blessed and we are bless to watch learn and grow love development and BALL GROWTH hahahahah
Husqvarna T536 LiXp is the battery saw to climb with! Get 2- 5.2 amp hour batteies. You have to get used to some differences from a gas saw, but once you do, it's great!
Great vid an nice work an Adam great job it takes a lot to go head an push through the butterflies but havin great team behind u helps just deliberate coaching no drama awesome 👏
To quote Mac Davis, "I could not believe one man could have such fun and still get paid!" I'll say it again, if Adam ever decides to take an apprentice, I call dibs!
congrats from a 54 year old French arborist ! amazed by your work, skills, the size of trees that you take down and your equipment ! a question if you may, do you ever saw some planks out of those magnificent timbers ? keep up the good work and spirit ! bruno
I was cutting big snags, (up to 6.5 feet) on a fire in the sierras the last few weeks using the 5001. Pretty hot little saw. It could pull a 36 inch chain quite well in dead wood but would definitely slow down in green. I was also running full comp on the 36 and wonder if skip would've pulled better. It destroys anything with the 32 inch bar. Got pics on Laster Tree Service fb page.
After watching the 1st video you had the 500i in i told my buddy he should look into getting one. The next day he said, "i don't think im gonna invest $2500 into a new saw" i didn't know they're that much... holy crap
Man, Adam looks like such a genuinely good hearted person.
Absolutely 😁 plus his reaction is genuinely pricelessl 🙏🏼✌🏼
nicest dude ive ever talked to in my life
he's awesome

Gotta love adrenaline, lol

You are the real deal. With high regard. WW1
I LIKE THIS MAN YOU CALL ADAM , HE IS A GENTAL SOLE , YOU CAN TELL BUY HIS LAUGH. WAS HE BORN FROM OLDER PARENTS ?
They were 30 and 31.
Good eye BR
Not sure if missing a pun or genuinly poor English..
@@pyramidsinegypt judge not, lest ye be judged
Adam is cool though.
Way to go Adam. That must be a strange feeling when it’s going the opposite way gravity says it should when you cut it. Never done that in the 40 years I’ve been cutting- good for you
It will SPOIL YOU,,,,,,,,,lol. Next thing you know you'll be running around chasing cranes for every job
Coffee and the hunicke crew before going to work is the best. I'm working in a 150yr old American elm today. Thanks for the content!
I feel that we are all capable of more then we think we are. And this video proves that. Very proud of Adam, and his reactions were priceless!!!
Great nervous giggles. Way to effing go ADAM!!
You are so wonderful a mentor to your crew/buddies. I had the thought that the time spent doing filming breaks up the mundane physical parts of the day, and instead of what some people would think non productive wasted time, it’s actually a check valve and it keeps morale up. What a team you are!
Wow, the drone shot of Adam's second pick really caught the movement of the boom!
That 500i sure does idle nice and smooth!
...and Adam's adrenaline-fueled giggling, it must have been quite a rush for him.
Great job Adam. Much respect to you August for giving these good men such opportunities. You're doin' it right.
Great job Adam you did well man! Way to walk him through the steps to getting it done Damion and August!
Good to know Adam has friends that look out for him. Great job.
Adam was definitely tickled over this momentous feat. This video will rank right up there with his first steps as a baby. Good job Adam.
Look up in the sky., its a tree, a saw, its SUPER ADAM..!!!! Congrats all around, way to shine MB crew.!!
Adams nervous laugh after each pick was the best part of this video hands down. Awesome!!
Skill set for August Hunicke's Crew - Must be skilled in: Saw, Chipper, Vermeer, Climbing, Drone Operation, General Filming, Video Narration. Way to go Adam!! Such respect for the work on the ground, and in the tree
Thanks for spending the time on this video. Hugely entertaining. Thanks!
Adam’s nervous laughter made the butterflies in my stomach jump to attention!!
You mentioned butterflies just as I was typing my comment!
Your videos are above and beyond. Viewer gets a taste of it all. Your crew GREAT! Thumbs up to Adam. Nicolas hit it with "GENUINE" for the whole kit and kaboodle.
Adam!!!!! 😎👊👊👊
That..... was..... AWESOME!!!!! 😃😃😃
Well done Adam! I've got a good bit of "tree time" but I have not yet

Adam, that was awesome! I've never done any crane work, but when I do, I hope I react half as cool as you did. Y'all are the A - team! 👍
Adam way to push your boundaries. August way to let the guys learn to do different jobs. Not all bosses are willing to do that. Nice job.
John Dunbar s comment was spot on , wow that's how I'm sure a lot of us seen or been around bosses who do just that, they fear losing a good employee to experience etc. One benefit of small business if you get into great one do whatever it takes to keep that job!🙂 Excellent work Adam!
Thank you. I love his, comment as well.
Priceless reaction Adam!

I can't express how awesome this is! Way to go Adam!

That sure is a beautiful spot they have there!! Great job gentleman, congrats on your first crane pick Adam.
I like Adams nervous, uncontrollable and involuntary chuckle from his adrenaline
dump, lol
Excellent job up there adam!! I did my first rigging job (I am a noob) last week and had all the same feels too haha. I loved Augusts' reporting from the ground. All of you guys are incredible
Nice job crew, Adam good job overcoming the first pick jitters...love the nervous laugh😉 Thanks August
Great work, Adam gets to play with the new saw. Well done August, getting Adam up the stick, everyone learns.
Adam has gracefully expanded his knowledge & skill level. He seems to be very intelligent, & has progressed into a quality employee. I think he would make a great everyday climber, but I think he realised the team needs an A+ ground guy....since you have a full crew of A+ climbers already.
