I’m 23 years old, just started climbing a couple years ago but I just wanted to say I’ve learned so much from your channel and hope you keep putting these vids out!
August, you get to play with some ridiculously cool toys. As cool as they are, I could never get to a point where I could enjoy them. There's a reason I've been able to walk this earth these past 61 years. 😜 God bless you brother and keep you and your crew safe.
Full throttle to the top with Papa Notch! Didnt have to wake the misses up with chainsaw noises to enjoy my Sunday morning coffee. Perfection as always 🫡
I woke up my better half yesterday with chainsaw noises from Jacob's new electric saw comparison video. Today she is probably grateful that this is the video I woke up watching.
OK, that was a really cool video guys! Something completely different and very interesting. I've done a lot of splicing, and still do on occasion, so watching you splice way up in the top of that tree was very cool! Ayuh, locking brummel, very familiar with that one. 😉 Really appreciate you sharing that August! Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲 Randy
🌲❤️💫 Brilliant Trifecta, watching the 3 coolest dudes “Guys qualified to do it” Great banter, detailed, extreme height with Batman pose and rope sound effects. Awesome video 👍
The ascent up the line with the electric device was like the opening scene of star wars, when the star destroyer is chasing the blockade runner. It just keeps going, giving the scope of size. My palms are sweaty, just watching the ground fade away from you. Great camera angle! Happy father's day, and stay safe!
@27.33 are some words that every client should hear, listen and write down. before they say yes to cabling.. great video, hittting on a diffrent aspect of the tree care world.
Good morning class. This episode is brought to you by the letter “S”. 😄 Spectacular view from that majestic wind damaged specimen. Question: Could that be a world record for the highest elevation use of a rope splicing fid? 🤔
Haven''t been commenting lately,but still watching,wanting to let you know that due to the fact that there are at the moment no more virus restrictions to enter the U S of A,I will be travelling to your beautifull country in August! Greetings and blessings from the Netherlands!
Hey August, This was certainly a different pace for a video with no saws🙂. Interesting setup for tree stabilization. That's some skill to splice up there! Good to see Joe in this one too! Good Work!
Getting ready for both knees to b replaced. Really enjoy watching your vids. Great team of tree professionals. As a youngster I was a beast climber, hoping my recovery is quick this winter, at 56 I feel tree work has kept me young. Hope it's not over for me. God bless you guys,love seeing you doing yer thing at a high level.
I miss having a wraptor... Thank goodness I don't have to go over 100' several times a week, or maybe that's why I'm so sad. 😢😆. Thanks for sharing the way y'all set dynamic cable systems. Looks bomber.
"The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune". The stinging nettle is a super-food. Cook it and the sting is gone. Tasty soup. Even the seeds are said to have amazing health properties. That looked a long way up. Another great vid. 👍✌
Perry whips them so fast you have to watch them a few times but he definitely knows a ton of knots for each application. Nice shout ou August! He uses a lot of knots we used rigging steel and planks.
All seriousness thank you guys as usual I am wishing I was using a raptor to gain access to the canopy while on lunch and have to be a commoner and rope walk back up , and also per as usual I greatly enjoyed the content. I Do have some questions regarding the 2.0 saddle that I was going to order last night will try calling today once I get done with the removal I working if not too late. Thanks again and be safe
WOW! You guys either showed up early or the ROOSTERS slept late! CONGRATS on lots of teaching/learning in this one for those paying attention and *BIG THANKS* to you for always including *LEARNING* in your videos - " *Classes in AUGUST* "
I’ve LOVE to see a video with tips on keeping the job site clean or ways to quickly/efficiently clean up a job. I work for a small company.. just me and the owner. Him and I decided to quit out day jobs and do trees and make a better living for ourselves. He’s got 14 years experience in climbing for other companies and this is my second year as the ground guy.!
One time a city slicker friend of mine was helping me clear a fence line that had a bunch of stinging nettle. He touched some without knowing and was convinced he had been bitten by a venomous spider. It took a while to calm him down, he was freaking out.
I didn't think this was really happening the three of you, like the true surgeon's you are performing a procedure up in the canopy. I know this customer his to truly appreciate the awesome group of talent they have working there.
the carrick bend is really cool. it looks like two munter hitches tied into one another. Joe's rope wrench is super baller. You're not supposed to load shackle pins on multiple axis. Oversized shackle saves the day here.
Is that the latest work toy? It surewill save some time, if that is important. Clear path up needed for optimal benefit. Do you lock off the shackle bolts at all?
Having worked for many years with slings such as that, what is the life expectancy of those green slings with exposure to ultraviolet light and when under tension, as in the cabling application? Very interesting, but from past experience with kernmantle rope and sling material like that, life of the material tends to be highly variable under ultraviolet light exposure conditions. Just wondering! Nick, North West Farmer (Oregon)
@@mattthetreeguy I recalled five years, but with improvements it makes sense. I was just curious regarding the latest information on the material they are using. Thank you for the comment!
Really appreciate the shadow capture of the GoPro and it’s attachment to your gear. And the knot tying comments in the beginning of the video I don’t remember the name of the guys magic fingers like subscribe and comment. 😂👍🏼💯❤️
Question , would a soft shackle i.e. Dyneema be as good or better option in that application than steel , Dyneema now gaining wide use as rigging on yachts as are soft shackles in boating and 4Wd scenarios . Maybe make some and break test , possible new line of product in the Monkey Beaver range ?
Gordon, I don't know if you live near the water, but on the East Coast, a large vendor of boating/marine supplies is called WestMarine. I used to get a lot of gear from them 25 year ago, for use in tree work. As a matter of fact, my first Dyneema throw line was actually a really thin rigging line for sailing.
@@samuelluria4744 Hi Samuel , I've come across Westmarine online a few times over the years , I do live near the water on the East Coast but in Australia not the U.S. About 25 years of my life was spent at sea , commercial fishing . Synthetics have come a long way , I recently bought a roll of 12mm double braid and some Selma fids to do some splicing , mbs on the rope is 3300 kg or 7260 lb , I think that's great for thin rope , I'll find a number of uses for it around the property including pulling some trees .
@@Gordon_L - As US Navy, the son of US Navy, who has been climbing for a living since I was discharged in '93, I've developed a lifelong appreciation for cordage!🤣 Dyneema is awesome, I use 5/8" Dyneema for a Bull-Line when I'm pulling over the really big trees with machines, and it's never failed me yet. Not too mention the hundreds of slings etc....love that stuff. I guess you are in late Autumn now....enjoy!
Horsetail stem works great for immediately relieving stinging nettle stings. Just break the horsetail stem in half and rub the goo (technical term) directly onto your skin.
how awesome would it be to have a seating area up there in that tree. Put a harness on and use that line ascender and zip up there to hangout. I don't know, maybe that just me.
1:57 That knot is not easily identifiable. If I make a mistake with that knot will it still work or will I die? What happened to the double fisherman's knot?
For the record, I enjoy these pruning/ maintenance videos immensely.
August, God has blessed you in so many ways! Your skill, your crew, everything you do is first class! Ronnie,East Tennessee
I agree 100% with you and been seeing & saying the same thing for *YEARS* (example of what HARD WORK will do!)
You said it.

This was one of the best videos, especially for an early Sunday morning. Quiet and serene
Exactly what I was thinking 👍🏼
The way you guys openly respect each other...verbally confirming your mutual, reciprocal respect;
It evokes an emotional response.
Nice vid….a quiet pace at a perilous height! New product….and the conversation of three smart dudes. 👍
August, you get to play with some ridiculously cool toys.

U guys r awesome as hell! Man i gotta get back to watching u studs
The A-Team at work for sure.
Brilliant concept and execution.
Thanks for sharing

I thought Charlie would say that to the Angel's in Charlie's Angels but I can't find any proof of that anywhere. Dave
I’ve experienced squirrels trashing the fiber slings over time
Did you get new cameras? The quality is really good!
That tree climbing winch thingie was some Mission Impossible type kit. Very groovy.
What kind of rope are you tying the tree together with? Sick video
August has to be a ton of fun to work with. ❤

Nice 😊 🤠🥳👌🤙🤙👍what’s up August 😃😲😲Big!!!!😅😅
Joe's a beast!😂
Glad u guys are all such good friends
Great video and very true on the cabling, if the customer is willing to maintain it then you might as well just remove it. My opinion. Yall be safe.
That was cool never use them slings before looked like a fun day of not having to junk that thing out 👊
I’m commenting !!
Is that the latest work toy? It surewill save some time, if that is important. Clear path up needed for optimal benefit.
Do you lock off the shackle bolts at all?
Yep
Some character with those beaver fur suspenders!!🤣🤣 Only you August, fit that monkey beaver profile!!!🍺
This job is when I would be thankful to be a groundsman!!! Lol
Putting a Haiku in the cabling would be similar to the prayer flags on Everest! I like the idea!!

I believe that the manufacturer suggested an 8 year service life on the synthetic cabling systems.

Thanks Guys.
very cool video with some down to earth dudes.
Some irony intended
Highly entertaining
You can't say "barbershop" and "Heavy Weight Champion" in the same vid and then be disappointed when we bounce to Coming to America ... brb
Meanwhile me on the east coast still gets the sweaty palms if i'm 60' up 😂
Thinking ahead joe
Thats the most terrified I’ve been on a tree job in a while.
First time I have ever seen them climbing boots at 100 plus feet !-)

Horsetail stem works great for immediately relieving stinging nettle stings. Just break the horsetail stem in half and rub the goo (technical term) directly onto your skin.

Who would've thought a potatoe gun would become a useful tool for the arborist lol
That’s a new way to get to the top
Charlie’s angels in the office
Crashed my mountain bike into a patch of stinging nettles one time. Dang those clipless pedals! Oregon is loaded with them in certain places.
Hey August, where did you get the green bicycle pump? I've never seen one that has such a high psi. Was that 180psi you pumped the launcher up to?
It goes higher, if you, Peg it off the dial. I bought it at a pro bike shop.
how awesome would it be to have a seating area up there in that tree. Put a harness on and use that line ascender and zip up there to hangout. I don't know, maybe that just me.
Hey August, what’s the name of that contraption you are getting towed up the rope on??
Rope Wraptor
How many pushups does chuck norris do... ALL !!!!!
Just noticed; no sharp thingys on the boots!

I did not like the Yale scandere. It straight up dropped me on rrp, definitely not a good fit. Because it’s slick, I might try it for a speed line.

According to einstein's theory of special relativity, chuck Norris can roundhouse kick you in the face last tuesday
The shot was absolutely awesome!
23:20 was that a Goshawk calling? (followed by a croaking Raven).
By the way, once cooked, stinging nettle losses its sting, and tastes great. My family loves them tender leaves and stem tips in soups.
Man that tree had holes all in it.
Looks like a triangle or heart
August brother what’s on your suspenders bear fur?
Beaver
1:57 That knot is not easily identifiable. If I make a mistake with that knot will it still work or will I die? What happened to the double fisherman's knot?

Super easy identifiable. Don’t use it til you agree.
Wasn't the easiest for me to learn, but the best 1 if you don't want to use a lot of line and need easy to untie
No fear on a Sunday morning
