A big fan of your channel August. Much appreciated for all the videos you do. Just something that was on my mind when it's just you and Damien. I've been doing tree work since 1990 and you and Joe are exceptional arborist and if someone is going to be on your crew they're going to have to be pretty badass. Just my opinion. Being that you live in an Area of knowledge population because I live between San Francisco and San Jose. Most guys who were exceptional either work for themselves or get paid top dollar. Assuming it will be nice to have a third man on your crew envision it is something that I do and things come my way. As for the end of your video and teaching the young folks you talking about a heart full of joy. People think I'm crazy when I say I teach young people how to be arborist at whatever age starting with the age of six because I have harnesses for children and other harnesses from over the years small , medium and large. And of course I'm proud owner of a monkey beaver every time someone tries it on because of the tree they're hooked and want to buy one. I'm not a salesman just a believer of good things. Like your RUclips channel ..
We have 3 sets of knives for our Vermeer. Our sharpener (the place is called SharpRite... cute.) makes them all match in length so we just rotate the sheer bar every 3rd change and all works out.
Hi August, know what you mean about finding good help!! Over 25 years ago l hand logged full time and had a couple guys helping me. Every time you payed them they wouldn't show up till they were broke. Couldn't count on them. So I went fully mechanized because the machines show up every day. Hard for you to get much more mechanized than you are. Hang in there. The right man will come along. Love to you and your family!! Take care my friend!! Your friend Al.
How did I know when my phone chimed at 4:30am that it was you, lol. That's a great view you have down your driveway. I understand your need for help and be busy. My wife asked just the other day if she could get a promotion would I slow down some lol . I can also relate to the zombie. The busier I get the harder I throw myself at it. I wish I live close enough to give you a hand bud. I have already got permission from the wife to move up there to work with you for a year, lol. But the reality of that is is just not practical. Is great to see the up-and-coming arborists. My 16 year-old son is my ground man most of the time. Hes the closest thing i have to a Damien. Not to boast but we make a pretty good team. As you understand, the important thing is that he will listen to me.
"Future Arborist....." love, love, LOVE it!!! Good stuff August. I have been guilty most of the time of working harder not smarter. I am learning slowly, with much patience and encouragement from my wife, to work smarter NOT harder..... "you're not getting any younger you know....." Hehehe. That's what she tells me all the time. Thanks for posting that up August. Keep yourself safe. Randy
Your correct. Work harder I try working harder and it works. Some times working smarter works too combine the two and what do you get ? A new morebark chipper. Now that's using the power of the monkeyBeaver. Interviews with Davey and Dearing. They want only to use their equipment. That's their gig. Ill use it but I won't like it 15 hrs in the MB belt today and ready to climb again. Mark. Ps. Tree brother. Tree teacher. In proud of you. Keep keeping on. Stay sharp
My favorite character from that movie was the German Shepard. He was a really loyal and dedicated pup that gave his life for his owner. I happen to own a Rottweiler, and I would hope that my dog would do the same for me, should the situation arise. Anyhow, I've been missing your videos man. I know you're busy and all, but I really do appreciate coming home from slayin' trees to see a new August video posted. Keep on keepin' on brother!
That’s great to see young kids wanting to do this stuff great job for teaching them young cant wait to see how quick she is in a few years probably faster than her teacher
I just flipped the blades on my Vermeer, and do the same with buying new so as not to have to adjust anvil. I am also down to a two man crew and thinking I should try zip recruiter, but I never have advertised and it seems like someone will always show up at the right time. Hope your family likes the new place. Wish I could try that akimbo!
Great Channel i little tip after you torque each Bolt put a hash mark in white or yellow paint marker so you know the bolt was torqued years ago i was a tech for a tool rental company
I've been missing your vids, I totally get you being busy and short handed. How long before she is one handing a saw? How about a video tour of the new place?
So I watched you video on the Rope VS Chipper incidents. Sound like putting a few Chipsafe things on the rope might save lives. Anybody doing this out there?
Just a heads up, it's kinda hard on torque wrenches using them to break bolts loose. Only reason they ratchet both ways is so you can torque left hand thread fasteners.
hvy 1ton thanks, the torque wrench says good for 600 pounds. I only need to torque to 380 pounds. Do you think it's overbuilt enough to safely un torque with? Or is that just a principle that should always be honored. I definitely don't want to injure it. I just got it and I've wanted it for many many years.
Using the torque wrench won't break anything, but it will cause premature wear in the torque measuring parts. Setting it to max torque for getting em loose will cut down on the wear, but t bars are cheap and hard to hurt.
Skills, common sense, drivers license, and no jail? Chasing a white whale, LOL. Augusts daughter climbing on an akimbo, lol, makes me think of how my little sister has snap-on wrenches.......I don't have snap-on wrenches.......*eyes father*.........
Human 😂😂😂 I would love to be you white whale lol but i live in Michigan and have no skill im almost 18 and im wanna learn the ropes, Its better then flipping pizzas and making minimum wage,
Whenever you banged the chipper drum it sounded eerily similar to the zombie hitting the glass. Then at the end of the knife change you describe the chipper as a work horse in the same way that you said you admired the zombie. You even called the chipper a "monster"! Are you sure the Will Smith inside of you is not afraid that chipping brush will be the death of you? Oh and how long is that torque wrench? it looks longer than 4 foot.
Good to post this and be real. Not a big deal, but..... break the bolts loose with a breaker bar, not a torque wrench. Save the torque wrench for tightening only. I'm not going to read the other posts till I post this, cause I don't want be influenced. But I hope to see a few others that know this. Cool analogy august later on, carry on.
I wrote that before I saw the very end. You know I don't agree with people showing their kids on the internet. But I like seeing this video, I'm really happy to see her climb.
Its Vincent price 1957. Not will Smith 2012. But still good call ask grand pa or grand ma they will tell you the story of the Legendary. Robert Morgan. Its a nail biter. Watch. You will see its all about wood and hard work. Stay sharper than the 200T. Mark
"...not going to jail every time you get a paycheck" ..... never heard it put quite that way .... not funny .... and yet funny nevertheless. Thanks for the video! Take care!
.... but in retrospect, even though the way you put it is succinct, and witty, and memorable -- and elicited a reflex chuckle and even laugh from me as I thought about the insanity of such a situation -- I must say it would be a very sad thing, and there but by the grace of God go I.
August you are a special person and an advantage to help these youth
Good seeing you August...fun seeing the young one doing so well under your tutelage:)
New home looks quality, hope you and your family are very happy. keep up the good work mate.

Love it MB, great to see someone else working with tomorrow's climbers today 👍👍 ..
Peace from Atlanta Georgia! LOL! Tree man's work is never done, we just take short breaks. Beautiful job working with the children.
😂😂Still gotta grease the thing....that sharpens the THING, .....that greases that other thing, which tightens that OTHER thing, that... ..😌

Great job with the girls August. Great execution of 'the ninja'

That's so cool!! 👍👍
Really cool video. Hay and supper cool that you invest your time in the youth
Good to see you! Be Well
Awesome video, great job rope walking
Antler max in the background! Didn't know you were a deer hunter. Season opens in VA in one month can't wait
Thanks for the video.
Great Channel i little tip after you torque each Bolt put a hash mark in white or yellow paint marker so you know the bolt was torqued years ago i was a tech for a tool rental company
Maintenance. Gotta do it, don't gotta love it!
Like your new place
Air stairs" lol very cool video
don't think your supposed to break bolts loose with a torque wrench......
Sure wish I could of grown up next to you!!! Not many kids get a chance like that.
How often do you have to rotate or sharpen the blades?
August, how and where did you get a hold of a Akimbo???
Fearless
I've been missing your vids, I totally get you being busy and short handed. How long before she is one handing a saw? How about a video tour of the new place?
I have 6 sets of knives. All got re sharpened at same time and all are still same size to each other. So my anvil has only moved once this year.
Great climing for ur 2nd time. U must be in Southern, Oregon
Ps - i hab to laugh at the end ! I remember " the Body to Glas " Konversation 😂😂😂😉
If climbers need workers comp insurance who would you recommend?
My daughter runs a uni like a champ
We just keep throwing are bodies against the glass every day! Gotta do it!
love the kids, more kids

Just a heads up, it's kinda hard on torque wrenches using them to break bolts loose. Only reason they ratchet both ways is so you can torque left hand thread fasteners.
hvy 1ton ok thanks. Now I gotta get a cheater pipe/breaker.
I normally use a t-bar and a big pipe when i don't have air for the 3/4" impact.
hvy 1ton thanks, the torque wrench says good for 600 pounds. I only need to torque to 380 pounds. Do you think it's overbuilt enough to safely un torque with? Or is that just a principle that should always be honored. I definitely don't want to injure it. I just got it and I've wanted it for many many years.

hvy 1ton roger that, thanks.
I would love too work with you guys if I lived in your area
Skills, common sense, drivers license, and no jail? Chasing a white whale, LOL.
Augusts daughter climbing on an akimbo, lol, makes me think of how my little sister has snap-on wrenches.......I don't have snap-on wrenches.......*eyes father*.........
Human 😂😂😂 I would love to be you white whale lol but i live in Michigan and have no skill im almost 18 and im wanna learn the ropes, Its better then flipping pizzas and making minimum wage,
I' ve no news from the Saw.... is it arrived? Greetings
Please wear gloves those knifes are sharp 🔪 stay safe out there best of wishes-mason

At least that socket isn't rolling towards your house. Then you'd be walking around with wet socks.

Second!
We don't know that he wanted to kill will. I think he might have wanted to hurt him very, very badly. For ever.
Fourth!

Take care!

You need a bigger wrench!!!!
