    I'm not an arborist, but I love your videos. I watch them out of curiosity that was sparked by one of my best friends who was an arborist. In may 2018 he was killed on the job when working during excessive high winds.. Your videos make me happy by remembering him and the job that he loved so much... I'm glad you posted this video to highlight some safety aspects for those who are in your industry. stay safe out there, god bless.

    The devil is in the details...
    Thinking that you are boring your followers and cutting to the chase, leaves out important information.
    When actually the least important part is the cutting and felling... the ratiomal, equipment, processes and techniques leading up that is what viewers get the most out of...
    If it crosses your mind don't leave it out; as to someone out here it's new. I would have enjoyed hearing about the custom rigging at the opening of this video...
    KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

    We must be living in a parallel universe because I just went over some of these same principles about tying off rigging with my guys. One of my infamous quotes is: " You don't know what you don't know until you know." Wonderful job on entire video and especially the rigging! Maybe next time show Jeff wrapping the RC-2000 to get those great runs, and I like the way you went from MRS to DRS with the zig zag. I really enjoy the content and the time you put into the production of these vids. Very inspiring!

    I just started climbing three years ago and I just turned 40 years old. You could classify me as “a frayed of heights” lol, but I still do what I can for the business I am employed by, even though I want to shit my pants every time I get in the saddle. I appreciate how you put in your faults along with your successes. We should all have a great deal of humility, it certainly helps camaraderie.

    My friend, I’ve cut down a lot of trees and am clearing sections of my 50-acre property in the mountains now.
    But I don’t climb.
    Watching you has made me realize I need to slow down and think more.
    Twice in the last month I l’ve had a branch come outta nowhere and knock my helmet.
    Whatever you’re teaching, I’m watching.

    You always look so comfortable in the trees.
    I was told I had tendonitis and a band was recommended. I was told it was caused by the heels of my hands resting on the table top and the body of my hands being raised up to type and mouse. I laid the key board flat and got hand rests for the keyboard and mouse. Pain went away and stayed away.

    You can really tell August knows what he is doing, didn't leave any stubs on this tree that would cause rigged limbs to hang up on. Also he took the time to recognize that rigging off the same spar you are tied into poses risk that you need to acknowledge and account for... Great work August and team! Keep climbing and cutting August it helps you stay connected to who you are and why you do what you do!

    “When you hook it a certain way, you’re about to see a certain action.” Exactly!!! When you get to the point you can accurately predict what is going to happen, the job gets a lot easier.

    • @efco24
      @efco24 4 года назад +5

      And it's one of those things you gotta do wrong to know how to do it right sometimes. I used to rig antennas and stuff on big radio towers. Every once in a while I'd rig something and no matter how cock sure I was that it was skookum, the damn thing would do something crazy when the last bolt was out. Got lucky that I never got hurt (too badly) or damaged something more than once. But each time teaches you something. Like August says, "you know it when you know it".

    The 2511 is certainly a teriffic saw for this. It's light, fast and holds enough gas. Hope I can get one some time when they are in stock. Some people may be confused about why BRS leaves some branches sticking out a little in the top of fir trees to stand on when he is topping and you explained why you are not. I liked that. Your spar poles were perfect for what you were doing. Racoon poop may have roundworms in it so it's not benign but I'm sure you were just making a joke. This was a beautiful tree job. Thank you very much for the video.

    Who ever sed that about leaving stubs is the Greenhorn! I had one snag on me on a tree job I was doing by myself! Not recommend but Daddy needed the bacon it was the most sketchy tree I had done to date! But my top got hung up on a stub that was less than a 1/2 inch! I couldn’t reduplicate the way it snagged up if my life depended on it one in a million unlucky shots! But from that day forward I get it all flush to the tree it will ruin your day could cause a fatal accident! You don’t get away with to many of them with out paying a price physically or monetarily!

    My sunday mornin ritual,wake up to a saw guy video...lol... one point of warning though...raccoon poop may not have carona, but it carries lots of parasites, that we can get. Balysacaris procyonis , otherwise known as raccoon round worm. Its causes severe sinus infections in most people,but can get in deeper into the head, and cause brain damage, or death. People don't take it very seriously, but the sinus infections are pretty common,and pretty painfull. Each state has its different levels of risk. It's pretty common in the state I live in,thats why I'm leery about seeing people touch it. Much like lyme disease, which is very common on the east coast, its not something I'd reccomend getting, I've had lyme for two months now ,it sucks bad. Stay safe guys, thanks for the great videos!

    this is probably one of my favorite videos ...."

You can tell someone is confident, or if they are unsure about the what going on.... you can tell if they are in a good mood or a bad mood and I think all of that determines how that tree will be done. I think this video is a very excellent representation of what we do for a living and how to do it at a high level....there are some many cool things in this video i could talk about but i just wanna watch

There's a Vermeer Plant about a 30 minute drive from me here in Alabama. I think they produce agricultural machinery there. You must like their equipment.

    August, I so very much appreciate those "little lessons" you
    sprinkle into your videos. Aways love to hear your thoughts
    on the how and why of the work you're doing. Most of the time
    I'm learning something I didn't know but, more and more I'm
    encouraged to see you set up and "rig a piece" the same or very
    close to how I would have. I've learned a whole lot watching you
    and other good climbers but, I've got a whole lot more to learn.
    Thanks again and keep yourself safe my friend! 😎👍❤️🌲

    Great video, impressive little saw. Thanks for mentioning the way you have the saw set up. Quarter pitch and high chain speed make for smooth cutting and and control. Make your moves deliberate, stay safe, and keep reminding the ground crew to look up when they hear your saw running.

      I remember a video of a climber falling and landing on a stub directly in his ass. Had to cut the stub and lift him while leaving it in til the hospital😬 I was told when first starting, no stubs unless you leave one above 30ft as a safety catch for your lanyard. That was for spuring on a single buckstrap though. Be safe🇺🇸🇺🇸

    What was that triple rigging ring device you had like brand wise. I like how the 3 rings give you a bigger bend radius for your rope so you can handle bigger weight loads. Seems way better than a single ring which would create a hard bend and lessen your load ability
