Your videos have given me purpose in some hard times and I’ve come out of them a climbing arborist and I literally can’t thank you enough. Thank you for making your art.
I’m the first to comment!! Bro I been watching you for as long as I have been climbing your my Michael Jordan. You have inspired me to build my own company and be a better sober man just know you have touched my heart and life in such a positive way!
I'm strictly a ground person but I can appreciate those that climb and cut. I like decent hardworking people too. I guess that why I like this channel.
…last part of your video…I am grateful for you, your team, your product. You are part of our family and prayers. We will never meet-yet - our trust in your honesty and hard work - and the inspiration from it - is often dinner conversation and part of our/my daily life. Stay safe!
Thanks man for all the hard work you’re helping me provide for my family and pursue my dream tree work I’ll get my harness soon already got the flag patches God give you health and strong you and family !
I'm kind of lusting after one of those 2511t Echos, I had a customers on my bench last week for an oil pump, such a little bitty thing. I'm still running a CS3000, an antique like me. Another fine video thanks for posting!
Thank you kindly Sir but I too have a lot of saws including an old Sears gear drive with a .404 chain, it's a hoot to run. I'm not sure there's any more room on the shelf even for a loaner saw. Besides I'd have to drive from Texas to our Louisiana property to give it a decent run, I think my suburban neighbors would frown on me clearing out their yards. @@AugustHunicke
In Australia, fire risk and other natural events are raising insurance costs too. Fire preparation warnings start in spring. Keeping fire fuels away from your house. Controlling tree canopy as well. The sound of arborists is everywhere.
Hey August.. those side cuts ...... Cause the growth rings to act like giant hose clamps.... They help retain the fiber.... The outer wood no longer has any mechanical advantage... I don't usually go very deep with them.... Cuz you're creating a shorter hinge and it could (because it is weakened) cause the tree to fall in an unpredicted direction.... Some guys make a plunge cut... Down in the gullet or bottom of the face cut..... Which you could call relieving it.. instead. Then you have removed the trees capability of splitting up vertically….. because it gets its energy to start the tear going from that centerwood.... Up here in Washington State there are some five-foot diameter leaning alder trees in this River bottom.... 5 ft !!!!! Diameter alder... With a severe I mean severe lean..... We wrap a chain around the tree just above where we're cutting.... And we do what you did.... And we relieve the center like I said..... And now there's two other safety precautions..... One of them is absolutely important.... But it already should have been done... And that is making sure the saw will not run out of gas at the most inopportune time.... And the second safety precaution... Is bore the tree... I'm sure you know what that is.... I'm talking to make that plunge cut. Move towards center of tree and establish and leave a good strong hinge.... Now the only thing holding it is that small piece the back cut will allow it to start falling.... You need to leave plenty of wood there... All that wood is under tensile pressure... That is it's .....wanting to be pulled straight apart... Because of the leverage from the trees Lean ,...that wood has got thousands of pounds of force trying to pull it apart ...so you leave plenty wood for the final cut never taking foolish chances... If you saw the lien on these trees.... You would maybe not want to deviate from what I said... From what I understand they send them to venier Mill... You know short sections.. into their giant lathe and shave off those beautiful plywood skins... Then they go to a core layer.... He's a guy that arranges the skins perfectly to make high-quality plywood. This wood is probably used for furniture and decorative interior wood paneling and doors... It is definitely a hardwood..
Woerdest feeling ever! We live on our houseboat, river Murray South Australia, right now we have real strong winds causing a fair bit of rock and roll. When you get this whilst watching your video with the sway after big cuts - freaking awesome.
We ALL get a double header watching ALL that the *AUGUST* does on film for us! DOUBLE because we get to see *WHAT HE DOES* and the biggy *WHAT HE KNOWS* OH my - how do they pay him??? You the BESTEST, *AUGUST* !
I enjoyed that opening clip. Next spar I do I'm going to imagine that's what it's like getting up the top when you've been doing it as long as you have, give me some hope for the future.
When August runs up and down trees in his harness he looks like a panther stalking prey. When I go up and down trees in my harness I look like a pot-bellied pig trying to jump on (or off) a couch to go eat a discarded potato chip. 😞
Hey August, Right to work with this one - Still great footage, and masterful editing. Even without much talking you give great info, like the little input on the way you cut that long branch to reduce the chance of barber chair. How did you run up the tree so fast at the beginning? 😅 I've been thinking what to get in the way of camera(s)and when it's worth spending the $. I'm just using my phone for now, It does ok, but I've got to re-watch your video about using just one camera- to refresh the tips you gave in that. It's tough trying to get any close ups, since the phone wide angle isn't very wide without setting it kinda far away. How many camera's do you guys use on a typical video?
We have the same issues in Louisiana with insurance companies but it’s because of hurricanes. They will not write new policies with trees next to the house. I voluntarily remove 4 oaks but did I get a reduction in premiums? Nope.
I wish u were around back in the 70s when i was working for parks&rec id have loved to had one of ur harnesses for climbing trees back then - using just a throw rope and hopping for the best sucked many times - also tree spikes would have been great also lol - being up in a over 150ft tree with just a throw rope was crazy but that's what the bosses provided - lol they thought they were doing us a favor when they bought us a McCullough chainsaw with a 10" bar - yep i said 10inches lmao
12:12 you drop that branch and it rotates to its balanced centre of gravity and lands butt-down. And it appears you guided it directly to the chipper!? Precision+gravity+skill+physics=mindblown
About the bars, yer probably thinking of Tsumura. They have a good reputation for a wide range of bar sizes. Did you ever do a basic A-B comparison of 1/4" and 3/8" LP? Having used both, my money is on 3/8" LP. Being also an OEM standard is a Good Thing.
On Thursday this week I was watching a arborist next door drop a tree, they’d roped the top to a excavator as it was on a wicked lean north and needed to drop it south, I was a good 20metres away standing south east of it behind a wire fence and when it was nearly down a piece of timber about the size of a brick hit the fence like a rifle shot I have no idea neither does the arborist where it came from, it just spat out and I had zero time to react. It was freakish but never ever again will I be standing that close to a falling tree. Would have clear decapitated me I reckon.
I will say to whoever has not ordered a cellphone case? Order one, and this little thing will save you a headache. No more dropping it and having to go look for it. Thanks again
It's good to see homeowner's insurance drop people that refuse to remove trees. Where I'm at quite a few people leave obviously dead trees that are right next to their house. That's irresponsible and just drives up insurance rates.
How old is that 2511t now. Mine is having fine tuning issues after a year or so but I keep after it with my tuning key. Mine is ported and piped as well
Radiator shops where I'm at will clean them in their tank and they have coating they can apply inside if they are too bad, you might check your area shops.
to my knowledge japan does not have any better quality steel, as steel is just on a grade system, as if there was grade A steel than any place making grade A steel would have to make it the same for the most part, you will get better craftsmanship not better steel. does annoy me that silky uses that marketing gimmick. there is no German steel or Japanese steel, simply different types of steel grades.
Tsumura temper some of their bars in molten salt, I don't know of another company that goes to such legths to ensure the quality of the rails on their bars. I think they will be a great fit for the Monkey Beaver quality lineup.I've had their replaceable roller tips fail after years, but the bars seems to last as well as any.

Get it ported and you’ll love it
I loan it to you if you want to try it out. If you’re in America (shipping) . . .I’ve got a lot of saws 🤷🏼♂️

Lots to learn from this channel.

@groundpounder24365 My Man!!! The one and only GP has spoken 🤚🫡
Allate and now State Farm are pulling out of the California market due to fire risk and cost of new construction in that state.
In Australia, fire risk and other natural events are raising insurance costs too.
Fire preparation warnings start in spring.
Keeping fire fuels away from your house. Controlling tree canopy as well. The sound of arborists is everywhere.
Awesomeness man, really glad we all can continue this journey with you and your crew. It's great to see how far yall have come.

Do they fit other harnesses, or just the MB, would they mate with my treemotion?(my next saddle will be a MB).

The candy harness is SWEET he says.
I’d love to get a harness customized when I have the money. Looks comfortable my weaver floating d ring saddle is rough
The bar survived!
I just love those 2511ts hopped up like that with the panther bar.
My exhaust is ported. Haha poor substitute.
Very professional indeed! Good job!! 👍 👍👍
i’ve always loved the tsumara bars on the big saws, i’d buy you out if you had them in quarter pitch 😂
Nice video and good job 👏 That harness looks to nice to get dirty. Take care and have a blessed and safe weekend

Nice longsleeve shirts. 95 degrees today here in Springfield, MA
real forest fire insurance should ask for a 25 yard buffer; the high wind events are what this is about.

Great video as always, what’s gloves are you wearing? Looks easy for work, thx
little Echo is sucking air? Crank seal maybe!
Maybe
My ported 2511’s alway seem to be finicky like that. Always needing carb adjustments
Where can I get one of those ACME bars? 😆
Edit: guess I should've waited a while before I posted that.
A match made in China!!! 🤣🤣🤣💯
@August, when can we expect suspenders 2.0 to hit the M🐒B🦫 store? Hmmm?
we havent seen an august mess up in a while. would of been kinda cool to see. sorta haha
When do we get to buy that sweet suspenders / phone holder set
What’s up August mate!!!!🎉🤠🤙🤙💯👍🏋️♂️🫵🥳Nice 😊
#getaugustto200k
So was the chain a prototype too? If not how did you get it to cut like that?! I have never gotten a safety chain to cut like that
Re anti-barberchair : makes great sense thanks 😊
What kind of tip handle is that? Echo?
Echo cs2511t
I might have missed something ,but where’s Adam these days?
....why is called "barber chair"??? What happens with the tree/wood, and why the name?
👍👍👍
How old is that 2511t now. Mine is having fine tuning issues after a year or so but I keep after it with my tuning key. Mine is ported and piped as well
Where did you get your 2511 at who did the work on it?
August did Loonie Tunes make yer bar?……. Damn Shoulda waited…… well Tsumura is he best btw.
Glad to see her using the 2511 again
Low jet needs more fuel it sounds to me
How do you clean your steel diesel fuel tanks with rust ? Chipper tank 26 gallon rectangular ?

Is the 2511 August is using stock?
