I'm not an arborist, but I love your videos. I watch them out of curiosity that was sparked by one of my best friends who was an arborist. In may 2018 he was killed on the job when working during excessive high winds.. Your videos make me happy by remembering him and the job that he loved so much... I'm glad you posted this video to highlight some safety aspects for those who are in your industry. stay safe out there, god bless.

You pointed out the way you strap on your gaffs and I can't not notice them now. Thanks, August.

August, you make that dangerous work look so deceivingly easy! You have found your calling. LOVE your content! Please keep ‘em coming!

The devil is in the details... Thinking that you are boring your followers and cutting to the chase, leaves out important information. When actually the least important part is the cutting and felling... the ratiomal, equipment, processes and techniques leading up that is what viewers get the most out of... If it crosses your mind don't leave it out; as to someone out here it's new. I would have enjoyed hearing about the custom rigging at the opening of this video... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! 🌴Puerto Rico, USA🌳

Early in my climbing career cant even tell u how mad I used to get at my self for leaving nubs even the smallest ones will cause a nightmare !

I just started climbing three years ago and I just turned 40 years old. You could classify me as “a frayed of heights” lol, but I still do what I can for the business I am employed by, even though I want to shit my pants every time I get in the saddle. I appreciate how you put in your faults along with your successes. We should all have a great deal of humility, it certainly helps camaraderie.

My friend, I’ve cut down a lot of trees and am clearing sections of my 50-acre property in the mountains now. But I don’t climb. Watching you has made me realize I need to slow down and think more. Twice in the last month I l’ve had a branch come outta nowhere and knock my helmet. Whatever you’re teaching, I’m watching.

31:47 Superb rigging. It doesn´t get any better than that.

The grappling hook was awesome. A lot of the guys that climb here would of fought throw line to set a climbing line. That was an awesome show of rigging guys! Thanks for all the tips. Thanks for the laughs this morning. Always A+ in my book.

“When you hook it a certain way, you’re about to see a certain action.” Exactly!!! When you get to the point you can accurately predict what is going to happen, the job gets a lot easier.

We must be living in a parallel universe because I just went over some of these same principles about tying off rigging with my guys. One of my infamous quotes is: " You don't know what you don't know until you know." Wonderful job on entire video and especially the rigging! Maybe next time show Jeff wrapping the RC-2000 to get those great runs, and I like the way you went from MRS to DRS with the zig zag. I really enjoy the content and the time you put into the production of these vids. Very inspiring!

Watching this before I head out to pick up my new side by side and head to my property in West Virginia to make some saw dust. Thank you!

August and Damien have some of the biggest cajones on YT. Straight brass.

Well I got my shot of adrenal rush watching you risk your life way high in the trees. Thankfully you did another great job. Whew!

You always look so comfortable in the trees. I was told I had tendonitis and a band was recommended. I was told it was caused by the heels of my hands resting on the table top and the body of my hands being raised up to type and mouse. I laid the key board flat and got hand rests for the keyboard and mouse. Pain went away and stayed away.

Stay in school kids, and SAY NO TO STUBS.

“I don’t think Racoon poop has Corona!”. That needs to go on a shirt. 😂

I really admire your knowledge and nerves.I am shaking just watching.

My sunday mornin ritual,wake up to a saw guy video...lol... one point of warning though...raccoon poop may not have carona, but it carries lots of parasites, that we can get. Balysacaris procyonis , otherwise known as raccoon round worm. Its causes severe sinus infections in most people,but can get in deeper into the head, and cause brain damage, or death. People don't take it very seriously, but the sinus infections are pretty common,and pretty painfull. Each state has its different levels of risk. It's pretty common in the state I live in,thats why I'm leery about seeing people touch it. Much like lyme disease, which is very common on the east coast, its not something I'd reccomend getting, I've had lyme for two months now ,it sucks bad. Stay safe guys, thanks for the great videos!

Reg Coates is a beast bro I watch a lot of his videos.

I'm always wafching from japan It will be a great study

"Clamp it, like on the Beverly Hillbillies" Action AND comedy. Best show on the interwebs!

I just keep returning to old vids and learn and retain more each time. THANKS.

“I’m coughing from sawdust, not corona, I Promise. - quote of the day

The more treework i get exposed to the more relatable your uploads get. Thank you for providing valuable content!!!

U rock keep up the great work and videos!!!

Excellent video!❤

Very nice rigging, master groundcrew !

I always clean up my stubs too. Learned that from your videos, just haven't convinced my crew yet. I'm getting better at landing pieces flat, but not getting consistent A+s you do. Enjoyed the video as always!

Love watching the video's, great job.

thanx for mentioning type of saw - was wondering all the way through - brilliant job .

Just finished a 12-hour day, and want to go back up the tree watching your video. Lol great work

Thank you for another great video

You are a hero! A true expert and man of integrity!

Great content bud , keep it up. Learn alot from your channel.

Good old August climbing show! Nicely done good fellows

August I really enjoy watching u work ur videos have inspired me an helped me find what I wont to do thanks an keep them coming

Great video august from you and the crew 👍

I watch a lot of tree workers August. You and Blair Glenn get most of my time.

Simply, but well said thanks August!

Really nice job and great video as usual!!

I love your explanations, and the extra camera angles makes it all the more easily understood. Don't hesitate to gab, ha ha. A+ in my books.

Very good job, no complaints.

Absolutely Amazing August ! Triple A+++

Couldn't agree more. Love my 2511T. It's stock, but works like a little honey badger on anything but the main stem down to 12". It'd cut larger but why work the saw more than I need to.

You have made me understand this is science. thanks!

Great video thanks for posting

Great job and video like always

Nice one.Great job!

Realy an nice pice off Art again August and the crew. From the North off the Netherlands, with "Sikko Polling tree service" in Town its good to learn some tips and trics from that guy Hunicke. Great job you deliverd again. Kind regard. Harro

I like the rigging explanation. Cool video.

Great work August and great team 🤛

When you jumped from limb to other side I just about lost it! Flying squirrel!! Great job, y'all!

I love watching your videos, i spend most of my spare time watching. What talent you and your crew have.

Great as usual.

Awesome job, August 😄👌👏👏👏❤️

Sure do like watchin u guys do big trees an explanation of different cuts an rigging helps us tinhorns so much I say thanks a lot for your vids but I really do appreciate them an you an your guys knowledge an got to use MonkeyBeaver saddle again today like it better each time I use it an suspenders make it awesome

I love the sense of humour you guys have. Great morale is weird lol

Absolutely PERFECT Job Boyz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do good work,sir!

I love watching you climb rig and cut. Your a very intelligent and accomplished tree man. The little tricks and stuff you show us is always a welcomed bonus!!! Thank you

morning coffee watching August and the boys! yay!

New subscriber! Love your work!

Great video August 👍

So appreciate your time to put us in the view and your teaching us... me... Kiwi down under.

Great video as always. I about spit my coffee out when ya said that about leaving stubs lol. That’s unfortunate thing about not learning from the older generation of tree guys bc you rarely ever leave a stub unless it’s needed. Have a great day much love 💪🌲Tree Life

Thanks for all, wise man.

Awesome shirt Mr. Hunicke.

Great video...A+

Who ever sed that about leaving stubs is the Greenhorn! I had one snag on me on a tree job I was doing by myself! Not recommend but Daddy needed the bacon it was the most sketchy tree I had done to date! But my top got hung up on a stub that was less than a 1/2 inch! I couldn’t reduplicate the way it snagged up if my life depended on it one in a million unlucky shots! But from that day forward I get it all flush to the tree it will ruin your day could cause a fatal accident! You don’t get away with to many of them with out paying a price physically or monetarily! Great video brother! Keep up the great content!🤙🏻

👏 I applaud you good sir for that hook.

Awesome video brother

Woooooo!!!! You tied some "I just want to go home" sized limbs on that thing. Loving the videos bro..

Jed Clampet!! That’s awesome.

You know, everything you & crew do have great meaning to anyone paying attention. Your work, your explanations, your technique to put us all at ease, use of your equipment or old school ways, you are great and a 'great person'! Carry that around for a time and stay safe. God bless. Sonny (CT)

The 2511 is certainly a teriffic saw for this. It's light, fast and holds enough gas. Hope I can get one some time when they are in stock. Some people may be confused about why BRS leaves some branches sticking out a little in the top of fir trees to stand on when he is topping and you explained why you are not. I liked that. Your spar poles were perfect for what you were doing. Racoon poop may have roundworms in it so it's not benign but I'm sure you were just making a joke. This was a beautiful tree job. Thank you very much for the video.

I enjoyed this, yes! That little mod'd 2511T w Panther bar and chain is damn cool ... almost as cool as August the man, the legend. Love the good work that you guys do! Thank you so much for sharing this job with us!

I really love ur videos man ..i like ur system so much it made me buy one of ur harnesses with the suspenders and im gonna start my one tree company ..good luck to me and u guys

fabulous commentary and as ever a thoroughly professional job completely sympathetic to the customers garden. 👍🏻

Great video, impressive little saw. Thanks for mentioning the way you have the saw set up. Quarter pitch and high chain speed make for smooth cutting and and control. Make your moves deliberate, stay safe, and keep reminding the ground crew to look up when they hear your saw running.

Always enjoy your expertise in your craft of work.

Thanks August, your experience is gold for us amateurs

Great video today. Nice clear imagery and the color was right on. You make it look so easy while giving me chill bumps because it's so scary. There's a Vermeer Plant about a 30 minute drive from me here in Alabama. I think they produce agricultural machinery there. You must like their equipment.

Nice Job guys! 💪💪👍

I really enjoy your videos you explain what you're doing while a lot of other people don't. It is good information.

August, absolutely live your videos, I work for AAdams tree out of Woodinville , use to work for lineage out of monroe wa, been doin this for a long time (5 years) ... mostly ground guy work, I bought my own gear l, and I'm afraid of heights ha what an idiot rite, well any way ... love your vids bud, keep it up... I watch them all, you definitely don't have a clue what your doin, just like all of us ... lol jk.. if I wbr move to Oregon I'll be hitting you up for a job.. any way .. thanks for the footage

GREAT JOB AUGUST.

Amazing great footage, another fantastic job by the professionals. I learnt so much about this tree felling, the physics, geometry involved is great stuff. Keep it up boys.

August, I so very much appreciate those "little lessons" you sprinkle into your videos. Aways love to hear your thoughts on the how and why of the work you're doing. Most of the time I'm learning something I didn't know but, more and more I'm encouraged to see you set up and "rig a piece" the same or very close to how I would have. I've learned a whole lot watching you and other good climbers but, I've got a whole lot more to learn. Thanks again and keep yourself safe my friend! 😎👍❤️🌲 Randy

August great job once again the buckle you are using to lower with what kind of buckle is that I would like to get a few

We have just found your çhannel, very interesting. We will be watching more

I throughly enjoyed the tutorial August, we have been wrecking trees for the past two weeks lots of rigging ..

You can really tell August knows what he is doing, didn't leave any stubs on this tree that would cause rigged limbs to hang up on. Also he took the time to recognize that rigging off the same spar you are tied into poses risk that you need to acknowledge and account for... Great work August and team! Keep climbing and cutting August it helps you stay connected to who you are and why you do what you do!

Good team , nice work 👍👍❤️

Awesome! Perfect!

So fun to watch you guys work and learn from you explaining things.

The "RC" on the lowering device literally stands for "Reg coates". What a legend. And you're right up there yourself August. Much respect to you guys 🤙

True professional, man

This is the kind of guy I would love to work for, respectful professional and a team player

Rope man is on point😉👍🏼
