Yeah it is! I was in a situation yesterday that actually made me think of your series August- a younger kid (son of a client of mine) is doing video-editing and, sure enough, making me (36) feel like an old timer with his ease-of-editing (and skill in-general), anyways the kid is *eager* to get my bonsai videos ready for my channel (I'm new to ropes but not to trees) to the point he doesn't even want $ he just wants to do it so he can show-off what he's done, a win-win scenario. It made me think, and I'm not saying your editing is bad by any stretch of the imagination but there's always room for improvement, think that if you're still editing in-house that you'd be following the "work smarter not harder" mantra well by farming-out the editing&production of your raw footage :) Just a thought, take it for what it's worth, again your vids are totally in the higher tier of quality anyways, am not recommending this 'because it's needed' but because you're one of the most popular so it's best for the entire niche if the leaders are constantly raising the bar for these things :D Thanks for all the content you've put up, truly appreciate it all!!!
Beautiful production! Im a professional arborist who makes amateur videos. This is GREAT! Kudos to you on your production. You tell a big story in 3 minutes and make it look good.
Im an arborist watching from my hospital bed with pins and rods holding my broken bones together in my ankle. I. Love my job and was depressed and thinking ill never climb again but your opening lines about your bad break gives me hope that ill be bak swingin in no time. Be careful out there brother. Its never the thing u expect that gets you
Mine TOO! Many parent reported back that they'd been out & about noticing the arborists and simply stopped in their tracks to watch them and are totally even more in love with trees than before. This really was a captivating story and visuals.
Good video. I think the biggest impact we have is saving a tree before its end life. I love being in a huge tree knowing I'm helping it with proper pruning. Plus the wildlife you run into is incredible! Arboriculture for life.
this video represents a lot for me, It was a boost of inspiration to become an arborist, and now Im here nearly 6 years after i first watched it, a Certified Arborist and enjoying it and wanting to grow and learn more every day. thanks!
Hi The Tree Whisperer, Thanks for your lovely comments. The film recently won a film competetion and was shown at the SXSW film fest this year. Thanks for watching!
I love this video! I come back at it once in a while and still gives me the chills! We do something that ordinary people won’t understand. Keep up the good work guys! Be safe and mindful out there!
Nice video! Really appreciate the little story and all these thoughts about the tree and trees in general. Some people in our industry have forgotten to think these days, unfortunately...
Well made this was truly a work of skill. Im a line clearance engineer over here in the states. Its a physically demanding job. But endeavor to persevere.
Really inspiring video. I'm a climber/tree trimmer for the past 3 years. I was going to give it up because of an injury from lifting. I have changed my mind recently and I'm going to get certified and restart my business yee
Cool video! 👍 I fell from a tree after being stung by a bee in the tree, 35 years later and still climbing them but getting paid to do so, pretty cool job if you can handle the hard days!
Great video and top-notch production. It really provides the "put yourself in an arborists shoes" perspective--literally when you account for the great canopy shots! Do you have any modern management practices for ensuring the longevity of these trees? There are tons of great web-based tree management tools out there that can help support an arborists passion!
The true story...he harbored resentment toward the tree for all those years. He studied, plotted a schemed while gaining the skills to one day torture the tree...instead of cutting it down he would cut limbs off one at a time every few months. The look he gives at the end...tells the whole story!!
well you don't necessarily need to use the prussik, you can use the blake, distal, valdatin. any of those help retain the tension in the cord on an angle.
Great job! Check my stuff as well at Arborist Blair Glenn for other videos if you get a chance. I hope more Arborist videos get produced but this one is really high quality.
Oddly enough I work on trees 6-7 days a week during peak season, and still go recreationally climb trees on my days off. I also read about them or watch videos about trees or tree work to relax. To each their own, but a lot of tree guys play around in trees because we love them, not so much because its our job we have to do to pay bills.
Well made video.
August Hunicke such a well made video .

I respect all arborist and loggers. My deepest thanks and gratitude to all of you men and women.
Beautiful production! Im a professional arborist who makes amateur videos. This is GREAT! Kudos to you on your production. You tell a big story in 3 minutes and make it look good.
Thanks Matthew. Lovely to get feedback from you!
This is awesome, a video which shows arboriculture at its best as opposed to the portrayal of us being a bunch of tree murderers.
Thank you, that was lovely! My husband is an Arborist and has been climbing trees for over 30 years:)
I think I have watched this video 10+ times. I still enjoy watching it!

how's your ankle doing now?
My Pre-K students are in LOVE with this! They all want to be Arborists now.
Mine TOO! Many parent reported back that they'd been out & about noticing the arborists and simply stopped in their tracks to watch them and are totally even more in love with trees than before. This really was a captivating story and visuals.
very nicely done. thx.
Buckin' Billy Ray Smith deadly
I was so hoping this was a teaser to a movie or series, all the while knowing that was too much to dare wish for. Beautiful, noble work. 👍👍
I loved this so much! As an arborist I love how you've represented what we do in such a beautiful way.
absolutely beautiful! thank you, we need more of this

I love this video! I come back at it once in a while and still gives me the chills! We do something that ordinary people won’t understand. Keep up the good work guys! Be safe and mindful out there!

Stunningly well done. When should we expect the full length feature to come out?
What a work of art. Fantastic job fellows.
Greetings from California. I have that same tree book. It was given to me by my British parents in law.

Short and sweet!
Man I’m exhausted just watching him hip thrust I’m surprised he’s not climbing SRT??
Azing quick movie
The true story...he harbored resentment toward the tree for all those years. He studied, plotted a schemed while gaining the skills to one day torture the tree...instead of cutting it down he would cut limbs off one at a time every few months. The look he gives at the end...tells the whole story!!
Great video
Awesome video.
very inspiring video
thank you all personally and please be safe fellow brothers today for me was a very successfull day hope you all did as well oohhh raw!!!!!
Nicely done!
Nice!
Theres a good shot at1:11 but i cant figure out whats going on there...what are you using the marling spike for???
What kind of climbing setup is that please? Ive never seen it, are there any advantages to it? Thank you
Very good
great video
Great video tho!!
oh I thought this would be a good horror movie, a protector of trees
where can i see the full production of this?
Nice Video :D
What harness is he using .. anyone?
Whats the marling spike for? Why use a prussik?
well you don't necessarily need to use the prussik, you can use the blake, distal, valdatin. any of those help retain the tension in the cord on an angle.
I dunno man, I'm seeing lots of stubs. Cheerio matey
Wouldn’t be a real arb video if there wasn’t another arborist snagging the stumps 😂
Tree cutting is murder!!
Lol
more like rape!
Great job! Check my stuff as well at Arborist Blair Glenn for other videos if you get a chance. I hope more Arborist videos get produced but this one is really high quality.
Cheese!
Silky in the mouth... ☠️
I refuse to believe that a real tree surgeon would, at the end of a hard working day, sit in his log shed and read about the tree he just pruned.
Oddly enough I work on trees 6-7 days a week during peak season, and still go recreationally climb trees on my days off. I also read about them or watch videos about trees or tree work to relax. To each their own, but a lot of tree guys play around in trees because we love them, not so much because its our job we have to do to pay bills.
You obviously don't know tree guys. Lol, We ALL are junkies
Samuel Luria Actually I am a tree surgeon. I was making a joke, more than anything.
😜
speak for yourself, I don't read shit anymore! It is really just a job for me now.
