If you're a dainty flamingo you're a savage dainty flamingo 😂! Great stuff buddy. It's awesome that you remember this unique tree, then got to be the one to take it down. Great work to all of you guys. Slipping that mini skid through that gate with a 1/2" a side clearance was pretty impressive too!
"eyeball contact on the clip" great point. I was tired and re-positioned my flip line, caught it and clipped it in, " click" great...kept working. I had not made eyeball contact. I just heard the click. When I was coming down to fell the stem, I saw as I was descending that I had been working with my flip line clipped into an accessory loop next to my D ring. I feel sure that that loop is made of great stuff and stitched like it will save a life...but its not the D ring. Eyeball contact, every time. its a rule. : )
That’s crazy I had the same exact experience except I was clipped in to my petzl caratool that’s plastic I got lucky my flip line Beaner didn’t slide off cause the gate had broken off a time prior
The whole crew is great, truly, but Adam Zoppo (I think I got that right) is the real MVP, on dang near every job. It's easy to focus on August and Damien with them being the focal points of the camera most of the time, but I am beyond impressed with the countless times Adam is in the background scrambling, or staging stuff, and everything else he does. The second there's a gap big enough for him in the gate, he's through and fires up the chipper and then hustles back to assist August, I presume. That man is always 3 steps ahead. Bravo Adam! You are noticed and you definitely impress, fella! Great work!
@@johndunbar2393 ya, Damien 😁 does more for the company than anyone else. Jeff, is ready to do anything and has nothing he feels is beneath him. Adam is consistent head down and working drudgery with a seeming zeal for it. If there was a least valuable person, it would be me, no joke. I am nearly completely unnecessary for getting the job done most of the time but I own the company, So I guess making the platform has importance but not to job-site specifics, except when my experience rarely brings efficiency that would have been absent.
@@AugustHunicke you have all the knowledge and experience that’s invaluable. You been there done that . Your crew is so good not only from hard work and good work ethic but you helped teach them a ton I’m sure . Don’t sell yourself short. Don’t know shit about tree work but I know construction and you guys are efficient and a great crew . Thanks for the videos and knowledge brother .
Mic drop. You and Buckin’ stay on the saw, even after the tree starts to go, trimming the holding wood to steer the tree just a smidgin to get it to fall right. That is truly art.
Hi August, I am mentally planning a tree that is ahead of me in the next weeks, and You should know, I really appreciate hearing your thoughts as you think them. Thank you for taking the time and caring. George.
I get it. It's easy to get lost thinking ahead . Like for example, your brain is grinding the stump of the tree you're still tied in to lol. August has a very disciplined , deliberate and pragmatic approach. Also ,when the cards aren't stacked in his favor, he talks himself through it. I hope this makes sense , CJ lol
August gets all the HERO STUD work....but the guy that drives the Vermear BEAST through that KEYHOLE of the carport and new fence...NASCAR material! 😳🐒🐿 👍🤣
Excellent point. Good mini operators are the unsung heroes of modern tree work lmao. Prob is they make not breaking things , scuffing siding and not digging up yards look easy , but there's a lot of thinking going on.
@@rustysteel8714 yup haha. That's a solid performance. Those last few trips through were prob the most nervy lol. If something bad was gonna happen , it'd be then ofc.
When i was young they used to have a felling competition in town. The best guys could not only hit the peg but drive it right into the ground. Nice work August brought back some happy memories of my late father.
Thanks August! Had a nice chat with Evan @ MB yesterday. Made my first MB purchase of some Panther items. Things went smooth. Evan's a great guy. 16" Panther kit on the way up the coast to Toledo for my 2511. I've been meaning to do that for a while...
Unfortunately won't be able to watch this till later tonight, but it looks like a good one....is that the INFAMOUS Brand New Fence Under Tree In Need Of Vacating The Premises I see there???
Hey there were a couple great stills you could get outta there. The one where you're kind posing while suspending off the side of the tree when you're ascending. You are silhouetted and the tree and trunk look cool. And another is just the tall trunk with the sun right at the top. Those were cool shots you did. Could make a great still photo
If I had to break a fence a brand new one would be preferable to a kind of old one as it’s easy to match:). I find a GRCS is invaluable in such cases. Great job on this old girl August. I thought about buying that ascender, but I might only use it three times:)
If I'm not mistaken every one of those blocks landed flat . . or nearly. Nice manipulative limb cutting. If I lived near there I'd be glad to see that tree gone. (poor thing) Thanks once again for sharing.
Wow that rope line/ shooter/ ascender is a great bit of kit, looks like fun too. Never seen that before 👍 that first branch disposal could’ve been manually carried, wasn’t big at all.
Which is correct patience or patients? The words "patience" and "patients" are homophones: They sound the same but have very different meanings. The noun "patience" refers to the ability to wait or endure hardship for a long time without becoming upset. The noun "patients" is the plural form of "patient"-someone who receives medical care.
Excellent video. Never used a raptor but I do have the Ronin and I love it. Biggest reason was the raptor had a 2-3 year waiting list. Still had to wait a couple of months for the ronin.
August it's almost 👍 like yer in your right mind . Outstanding job August , anything is easy if ya know how 🤔. Yes you guys are awesome, of course I am just a old stump jumper what the heck do I know . You buggers be safe Love Wins.
WHAT! You have the newly branded mini panther bar already! LOL...man this vid made me laugh bro, hearing about you hitting the zigzag on a branch and dangling by one arm. You make it look so easy.
You see the tree and how to bring it down in a way I wouldn't have a clue. It's like us old surfers we can see a wave coming from a long distance and know if it's rideable and where to paddle to catch it from experience. As always Keep Walking with God I don't think it's going to be too long before we are Walking into Heaven.
Haha I love the subtlety about the pool and the old owner and then the "there's a new guy now" haha its wild what you'll see as a climber haha we get to see everyone's vackya4ds from the trees lol some people keep the front yard so clean and tidy and then their backyards are just a mess haha not making fun of anyone just saying it's crazy how different every yard is haha I know we all get swamped and busy with other stuff so I get it just saying how we see all from the trees haha ive seen some freaky stuff haha
I was once asked to drill a 4” hole through 18” of steel-reinforced concrete. I planned on wet-drilling with a drill strapped to one fork of a forklift. But there was a computer server right below where they wanted the hole. I was told it couldn’t be turned off and couldn’t be moved. No problem, I said. I could just destroy it in place! There’s always an unacceptable alternative. Don’t be afraid to offer one!
I'll bet she doesn't watch as many of your video's as we do 😀 after seeing one go through a tiny gate a hundred an some feet away I'd never bet against ya 😉 especially on just a stem !! Another Great video, Thank you so much !!!!!

@@AugustHunicke we kinda I traded a 10 year old Vermeer BC2000 in on it....It had the Cummins diesel in it i was for ever have vibration problems with was cracking the sheet metal Vermer said it was from the frequency of the moter causing it....See Vermeer is the only company with in 200 miles from me so im stuck dealing with them they kinda have a Monopoly around here the problem with that os it makes them pretty hard to deal with price wise on equipment and labor i have them do everything on it from maintenance to repairs so i have a complete record of everything so i never have a problem when it comes time to trade in or any kind of warranty work they kind of got me by the you know what.
@@AugustHunicke yes sir they are expensive but my Vermeer likes to remind you there the only one around and if you got a problem you can go somewhere else.
Hi everyone, I'm just an interested bystander, so to speak, I have a question to ask you all. I know you all like rappelling and time is money but why don't you 'clip in' to secure points every 10ft or so, like rock climbers do?
Hey August I’ve been watching your videos im 20 yes old and I started my tree business this year I have 8months in this as an owner what’s some advice you could give me? Anything helps thanks
The first time I saw you use that Ronin it made me want one. Still haven’t gotten around to it yet and I just ponied up 18k for a bc900 that only had 520 hours on it so I’m just going to have to be jealous of whomever picks that little up from you.
"When I lived here, there was a guy that kept his pool really clean."

Even after working a long take-down today, I enjoyed studying your methods. So many priceless, invaluable bits of crucial information…
So satisfying to see all of the chunking landing flat. A+
Another awesome video. Thank you August. It’s refreshing to see the crew work together in unison to complete the task.
And to watch a team that knows what they are doing! Every man had his responsibility and does it well! Kudos to you guys!!
22.20 that’s so valuable with learning and understanding limb walking I find so much information from your vids thanks August
Your rope man is pretty good, I think I'd keep him around. Great crew, great team work. Cheers from sunny South Carolina

Well if it was a old fence it would still look ok, just give the entire fence a bit of a touch up and paint it so it all looks new
Que precisión en la caída del ramaje y del tronco, dándole a la botella con el tronco mayor lo han bordado y demostrado su profesionalidad !! 👍👍
Never seen this sought of work up close. Nerve wrecking. Good job mate.
If I'm not mistaken every one of those blocks landed flat . . or nearly.
Nice manipulative limb cutting.

Thanks once again for sharing.
You are correct! And to bring it into his aviation world, "perfect landings"!!! Yes, he IS that good! Take care!
One has to wonder why they didn't have this tree removed before putting in a nice new fence like that???
Very impressive, the skills, the work and the accuracy.
23:37 someone needs to up their "pool maintenance" 🤢😳😂
I had to comeback to this comment and edit cause you brought it up. That is hilarious🤣
Amazing how you check and make the cuts so that the limbs go where you want them. Real skill there. Thanks for another great video.
The Hitman had to come back to the old neighborhood. When you think you're out they pull you back in.
You nailed the bottle...Awesome...!!!

Love watching the Adam Vinatieri of tree removal!
nice shot on that bottle August.....I fell timber, and made a few bucks bettin' I could hit a stick stuck in the ground out about 50" or so LOLOL
This was a awesome video :) Great job. I would've loved doing that one.
That's good aim from that high up... ground pounding
Awesome as always

"we'd fit right in in the UK" pretty accurate I'd say
I knew you would hit the bottle I’d complete faith in you,
Man when we were kids we'd have to carry those bundles over your shoulder by hand out to the trailer
they are very good
I agreed with your wife. Coincidentally, the first time either one of us had been wrong. 😉
Dont you love when they put a brand new fence in and then have the tree cut. Should of been the other way around
@AugustHunicke what advice would you give someone who wants to do crane work
