August, thanks for sharing 'tips and tricks' while you are cutting the limbs. Yes, I agree we need to pass along our knowledge and enhance the other person to make them better at what they are doing. Pay it forward. Blessings to all of you guys.
August Hunicke, you are a good man. Your philosophy on life is so clear and obvious and I believe it was the way this country and others used to be governed. Perhaps you need to run for Congress and try to get these basic principles taught to the younger men.
A true master is one that imparts his knowledge, is patient with training and respect for the journey. You sir, are all of these !!! My respect to you and your crew !!!!!!
As a person who watches your channel I learn a lot from you, gilty of treason and Buttler Bajoran. How things can go south fast or new gear or a safe way to cut trees down. Thank you and please keep teaching boring or not.
I just wanted you to know that I appreciate both your skills and commentary. I think it was profound that you think it is a goal for you to help enable those who work with you to be the best they can be. You have a real teachers mindset, or better yet, the mindset of one who disciples. Thanks for making my day a little better by taking the time to create and post these videos. Blessings, Chuck & Jenny Rentz
Hey Brother as a retired HVAC man / shop owner I conformed to all the rules at first . After 17 years I started my own business and more mobile is safer crawling around attics , we traded boots , jeans and hard hats for tennies and shorts , way cooler and agile ! Safer ? Who knows , worked for me , like you said pay attention , plan ahead and good things will happen . 40 years in the trade and the worse injury is a worn out back ! keep up the positive vibe !
I love the little moves that most people would take for granted like at 17:12 the little nip and grab so the branch doesn't hit that little roof below! Nice Work Mr. H! Inspiring.
Completely with you (as usual) on the nature and application of safety procedures. Just because you can drive a car doesn't mean you can just jump on a motorcycle or back up a big rig. The notch-filler is on p72 of the most recent version of The Fundamentals, if anyone is looking. Thanks for the demo, along with the rest of the excellent vid.
Your sermons from above are relaxing to listen to while enjoying your craft . Believe it or not back in the day a master of his craft would share his knowledge with apprentices who were eager to learn , a rewarding experience to pass on what you have learned to another ....
This man has done that for me over the years and the things I've picked up here help feed my six little ones. Discipleship is always freely given!! Share wisdom give God the Glory amen
Thank you August for what you teach us, for your knowledge, for your so precious knowledge that you give us without asking for anything in return, THANK YOU AUGUST, you are a wonderful person. Greetings from Italy
The description of the task was Redwoods. You said they were just babies. I thought about the big one Gerry cut. I sat and watch you and was contemplating hum haven’t heard about Gerry is years. Sitting here in a New Hampshire in a little nor’easter snow storm and you brought him up 30 minutes in. Wow Prity cool.
You got me thinking. On the bar tip. I have tagged my leg. My dad has tagged his foot. Something I am doing as I am watching your video. Painting the tips of my bars bright orange. The no zones. Take care.
Individual accountability is a LOT more important than the American law and way of thinking reflects. Also MUCH more pronounced in Denmark, Europe, where I live. You are a wise man, August. 👍👍👍
August, I also give credit to Mr. Beranek for that chunk of wood in a tight crotch trick. Not to mention the many, many other rock solid techniques I learned from him through his books and videos. Always a pleasure to watch the MonkeyBeaver crew making the hard work look easy. Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲 Randy
While it’s unfortunate that those beautiful babies won’t be able to grow to their full glory, but hopefully you will find someone who will be grateful for the raw materials for their art, whatever that may be. ❤
Hopefully someone cut a couple of tips off those branches, stuck them in a pot in the shade and started the process all over again. I’m the worst gardener on the planet but even I’m good at growing redwoods from cuttings 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing about one handed saw use. I remember asking the arborist i started with about top handled saws and his response was "theyre the ones always cutting themselves"😂
OK, I'm at 11:50 and August is talking about the consequences of actions while referring to doing dumb things as kids/young adults. My first fulltime job was at an outdoor centre and I discovered a LOT of new and interesting ways of making my own adrenaline and one of the guys I worked with really enjoyed pushing those limits as well...... to the point of us making huge rope swings etc. ..... and me dropping over 10 meters (30ft) straight down and missing the ground by a couple of inches. Thankfully I had my legs bent, so I didn't hit the floor!! 😅 And we did so many other crazy stuff that was quite often much more reckless then that. When looking back I did joke a couple of times that I probably missed being in a wheelchair for life quite a few time. Life's go a sence of humer sometimes because a few years after I moved out of the outdoor industry and away from the adrenaline fixes I loved so much, I started getting a LOT of back pain. I knew that I had a really high tolerance to pain and it turns out that I had Juvenile Arthritis in my upper back and one day I did something stupid and crushed one of the vertebrae in my back into a nice wedge shape and as I had been doing something stupid I decided not to tell anyone that I was now in quite a bit of pain! Shines a whole new light on my jokes about being in a wheelchair full time, but I can say that I broke my back and decided that I'd just walk it off!
And a great job done as always. I say to my guys at work all the time if you get better than me then I’ll just go back in the tools full time. It’s way better when the good worker knows exactly what to do without being told. Great example of a good leader in my mind.
August, thanks for discussing safety and planning, while up a tree! We had a huge storm in South Gippsland Australia two days ago. A rural town local to me hit badly. Houses lost rooves. Sheds collapsed. Hundreds of trees affected or down. A man killed by flying debris. Our volunteer emergency service are still up there two days later. Clearing tree falls, debris off roads, protecting damaged homes, flagging power lines down. Local tree services have gone up too. Those workers need to be trained and stay safe.
Redwood is beautiful material; nice to hear it's going to good use. Aged Cherry is another favorite from here on the East side. Great counsel as always. Someday, I expect you'll finally say something I don't agree with, but will only make me ponder my own view to reverify it. You remain a Wise Sage of the Towering Green Cathedrals! Nice to see you slinging the two stroker. Never knew how bushy redwoods are, maybe too much for Bat-Saw. Thank You
I can relate to ya about the one hand on the saw, I'm a welder fabricator and I can't even imagine using a guard on a grinder. But ordinary society says you must 100% at all times have one. Nope, no way, can't do it, I know the risk, I know how to safely handle them, and I know when I'm in potential danger. Let professionals be professionals
Enjoyed the video. Another fun filled job. I love working cedars. Straight up.....nice. I'm sure it was a day at Disney for you, August. Good talk too!
Yes you said the truth right there when you said it yet to learn by your pain because people go out and just think they can do anything and what they want to do I know for a fact I suffer from shoulders rest back and and I wasn't I am an arborist retired but I loved it and I still do what I can Austin I like watching you you're good at it😊
Jumped here after watching a totally different RUclipsr who's a bit ponderous. I'd upped the speed to 1.25 and forgot to change back to normal. Opening banjo moment was highly entertaining sped up! 😂 Everything ye said seemed common sense to me but that doesn't mean others might not benefit from your undoubted wisdom. Great job as always. 👍 ✌
August love your videos. I am a climber in Humboldt County, CA. I learn a lot from your videos. Why have you not been running your Husqy battery saw? I purchased one and love mine.
Very cool work site. Great from everyone as usual, But something breaking on the job breaks the rhythm, but not this crew. They find a way to get the job done & done right. Like that fabric on the saddle. Nice work as well. It’s time to do another episode of “At the sew shop” Thanks August for making my Friday wishing I was in a tree.
What would I have to do to be able to work with you a day I'm a new climber fairly new little over a year I love and respect what you do I really enjoyed doing it
I definitely want to learn more and I have learned from your videos to be honest I started off watching you before I started doing it I have learned alot from you
I'm currently dealing with a Sequoia in my dad's yard in Seattle. The thing is 120 yo and is thicker at 60' then those are at the base. About seven or eight feet at the stump. In an urban neighborhood lot.
Even with my little Husky 136 I don't try one handed cuts. Don't have the wrist strength to have any control over the saw. I've certainly remembered lots of good tips etc from all of your video's that i've watched over the years.
I call that quote, “Callahan’s Law:” “A Man has GOT to know his own limitations!” One of the problems in life, however, is that, as we age, LIFE keeps sneaking in NEW limitations that we did not have last week, or even yesterday. Another issue is that, at the end of the day, as fatigue and dehydration set in, our brains get dull, our capabilities are imperceptibly degraded and we become more error-prone. It is up to the individual to recognize this, adjust their activities accordingly, slow down, and become more deliberate in their actions, not reach as far, or lift as much in the rush to get the job wrapped up on go home. This is especially true as one passes “three-score and ten,” and embarks on their eighth decade. I sometimes feel like a used Lithium ion battery: It takes FOREVER to recharge, and I only get to 80%.
About those choices. How do we learn the difference between good and bad choices when we are young ? The choices you are talking about, I learned from DAD. He let me screw up and smile at me when I looked up at him, knowing I would remember it better….unless my screw up was about to be expensive or dangerous, then he would loudly stop me and we would sit and talk about it. I miss him.
The last few videos that I have watched, you are all abuzz about the electric saw. But no battery in sight here. Do you still love it or some other reason?
I’ve got the same trees at my place and the same issues but since they have sentimental value (I’ve grown them from cuttings) they get to stay for now but should I go up and cut out the co-doms? I know the likely answer. lol 👍🏼
Ive had my MB harness 2.0. And my honest opinion is its a great harness and the lower back support you just dont get in a weaver and last but not least if set up correctly there is 0 ball crushing. 😉
Vermeer if you see this comment. Get there and fix the chipper, please. Because now when they get back, they have to dig all that stuff out by hand all that brush. And it's not fun god bless everybody great job august and crew
Hey August you might not see this comment, but I just wanted to get your thoughts on the 14in light bar? I just recently switched to one on my 201 and it seems to bind up a bit in larger diameter wood. I routinely maintenance and clean the rails and doesn't seem to help. Enjoyed your video per usual, thanks!
@AugustHunicke thanks for the feedback, I might try going with the 16. Also planning to convert my 2511 to the quarter pitch panther bar, they seem to work well.
That Timelapse definitely illustrates just how efficient Monkey Beaver Team really is. Definitely giving customers value for their hard earned cash. 👍👍👍
I have never had the pleasure of stump grinding. I have needed it badly in the past, but I always ended up digging them out with a pick and shovel. It sucks bad but it makes the cost of stump grinding justified in my opinion. Because even though I have dug out some massive stumps the cowboy way with a ladder jack and axe and such, I know wear and tear on the body takes its toll also. Mesquite stumps are really bad because they generally have huge tap roots going down and lateral roots that you have to go around and cut just to get access to the tap root.
I have cut wood for over 35 years not a tree guy just cutting firewood. Only had a saw kick back once and when I realized what caused it I have never had it happen again. I am always ready for it, but once you know what causes it I just don't do it. for me once I realized the tip was the problem, I just make sure to not use the saw in a way it is a problem. I guess I was lucky that someone had warned me to be careful about kickback and I took them seriously.
I think that knowledge has two factors, information and personal experience and we need both for real knowledge. The plethora of rules and regulations these days is just making us more stupid, in the long run.

Fundamentals of Tree Work is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to climb or cut trees. 20:27

Dude you just cracked me up with the handsome joke😂
Excellent explanation August! You are a Rock Star! Thanks for clarifying your techniques to the unaccountable individuals.
Spouting wisdom from a pine tree? Pardon the pun, but love hearing your fir-losophy. Stay safe up there
Funny you mentioned the fundamentals because I just got it from work and read the forward you wrote today. Definitely a must have book.
Love the time lapse with the banjo.
August, thanks for discussing safety and planning, while up a tree!

Good to see a redwood getting a little love on RUclips. Viva La Redwood!

The little knot bit in the v is a brilliant tip never seen that

Yeah man Gerry Beranek is such a great dude!
Hey August I use the DMM screwgate XSRE for the throwball. An obvious solution I'm sure for you guys; but I was happy when I found it.
Even with my little Husky 136 I don't try one handed cuts. Don't have the wrist strength to have any control over the saw. I've certainly remembered lots of good tips etc from all of your video's that i've watched over the years.

Still love my battery saws:
When you get new information or a trick and you pass it on improved in your own way and the next Fella does the same, that trick evolves. Very human.
4:50 ish. Catching the throw ball you'd lost? August, you've built up a deep well of great karma!
I’ve got the same trees at my place and the same issues but since they have sentimental value (I’ve grown them from cuttings) they get to stay for now but should I go up and cut out the co-doms? I know the likely answer. lol 👍🏼
Perhaps
My redwoods after 30 years looked just like this. They start out looking good and after a while the have to go.
To incur that type of wound would be such a tragedy for the world LOL!! So dramatically poetic
16:55, Most of us have a face for helmet cam pics....😂😂
Ive had my MB harness 2.0. And my honest opinion is its a great harness and the lower back support you just dont get in a weaver and last but not least if set up correctly there is 0 ball crushing. 😉
what about lock tight, on the bolts?
If only it was something easy

Hey August you might not see this comment, but I just wanted to get your thoughts on the 14in light bar? I just recently switched to one on my 201 and it seems to bind up a bit in larger diameter wood. I routinely maintenance and clean the rails and doesn't seem to help. Enjoyed your video per usual, thanks!
Hmm I haven’t had any trouble with my 16 inch
@AugustHunicke thanks for the feedback, I might try going with the 16. Also planning to convert my 2511 to the quarter pitch panther bar, they seem to work well.

@AugustHunicke thank you sir, always helpful advice that's much appreciated! Stay safe and God bless

sadly personal responsibility is not the mainstream anymore. victimhood is pushed more and more. The knot trick was pretty cool. cheers
25:39 If you didn't do the little bit to direct the branch, would it have hit the house?
Would’ve been close
...and thank you for wearing GLOVES in this episode.
that big in only 30 years! I WANT one!
Dang, look out, Josh Brolin....dig the chops, brother!
What a snag and catch!
How long do those ropes last with all that friction sliding over the logs all the time?
Through grace, Jesus makes us better than we could ever attempt to be. Thank you Father for blessed salvation to those you haven chosen and loved.
I have never had the pleasure of stump grinding. I have needed it badly in the past, but I always ended up digging them out with a pick and shovel. It sucks bad but it makes the cost of stump grinding justified in my opinion. Because even though I have dug out some massive stumps the cowboy way with a ladder jack and axe and such, I know wear and tear on the body takes its toll also. Mesquite stumps are really bad because they generally have huge tap roots going down and lateral roots that you have to go around and cut just to get access to the tap root.
August! You and the boys are definitely COOL! Jedi knights. There are a ton of clones (copy cats) out there. Made for this is totally lagit!
For some reason I can envision August playing the banjo on that song.
I have cut wood for over 35 years not a tree guy just cutting firewood. Only had a saw kick back once and when I realized what caused it I have never had it happen again. I am always ready for it, but once you know what causes it I just don't do it. for me once I realized the tip was the problem, I just make sure to not use the saw in a way it is a problem. I guess I was lucky that someone had warned me to be careful about kickback and I took them seriously.
The banjo always makes me think of the Beverly Hillbillies.
I think that knowledge has two factors, information and personal experience and we need both for real knowledge.
The plethora of rules and regulations these days is just making us more stupid, in the long run.
Nice thanks man that’s so cool I learned something I’m a Jedi too
