Exactly, pinned.

No profit no point. My business existed to just earn me a wage for a long time. No more

Should keep in mind not everyone has all the big equipment and that does not mean they arent professional... i do great work without all that stuff but i also dont bite off more than i can chew either a 4 ft across oak tree is out my capabilitys but also have a friend i work with sometimes that has buckets chippers and skid steer that i call in on those jobs 😉 have a good day fellas

@@joshuap7501 very true I no a couple tree companies that have all the equipment but they still call me in on some of the difficult stuff not saying I'm some God of tree work or something lol but I can hold my own an figure out stuff. Always trying to learn an inprove tho it become kinda of a life style in a way. Anyway my point is don't just assume because a one company has shiny equipment an another guy has a old dump truck an old chipper that he isn't any less capable of doin a good job. You would be surprised at the amount of guys that can pull up in a car full of climbing gear an actually be the guy who the bigger company calls to do the hardest jobs . Yes there are half ass Harry out there as well but don't always judge a book by its cover what I was getting at. Hell look a Bucking billy ray he a tree man threw an threw but shows up in a old school Ford with old school saws but can do more than alot guys out there today . I actually used to work with a company that the owner had brand new everything the best of the best im talking millions in equipment come to find out he new nothing about tree work. He had got busted in the 80s with tractor trailer truck full off weed did 20 years in jail got out an still had alot of money. Now I didn't know this when I started working with him but it didn't take me long to figure out he didn't know much. He was biker kind of guy an had that alpha male ego thing lol. Iv run into a few tree guys that have that same mentality so didn't really bother me. I can have a alpha male personality myself sometimes an with all the dangers an hard work of this job It can be a good thing to atleast be confident but my point is he was the most dangerous guy iv ever worked with an I quite for my own safety. I heard ab I 7t a guy who got crushed by a log working for him an he had a couple other accidents. I would never want him to work on my property but if you just met the guy an saw the trucks an equipment you would think that's the company I want to hire. He had a bucket truck with the lift on the body 15 years ago now he had a crane , terminator chipper with a arm ,smaller bandit with a cable most the saws were brand new an ported. Equipment wise it was a tree man wet dream. Hell even his daily driver truck was this international but it had pickup bed with 5th wheel . That truck nuts btw . But don't judge a book by its cover I was a way better tree guy an had nothing but a pickup truck an climbing gear. Oh btw that guy who got crushed by a log is still not normal to this day it broke his back an the guy can barely walk don't think he ever worked again. I heard a story that owner was debating on calling a ambulance or not . Basically he would of ended up in some car crash or something on his way home from work. Real scumbag ...but looked like an talked like the man you want to do your job. So please ppl don't judge ppl by only appearances

@@scotttam7491 yes sir there are a few of them guys around my way lol they know just enough to not get dead

Uhh I just use a nalgene or camelbak for long days.

That's a good idea. . . but those syrup jugs look suspiciously like those jugs those "mountain people" drink their moonshine out of! Up there drinkin' to take the edge off, are yeh? Lol. Tho I know alot of roofers who're weed smokers for real. . . 🤣

Happy birthday sweet Helen. I wish I still had my mom. She took pain killers and drank too much. You,ve got a son to be proud of!

Couldn’t agree more! Just love when August meanders off like this, still all topic related yet chock full of them nuggets of wisdom. He is so blessed and acknowledges it w humble thanks whenever he can. I too, still have my parents, 92 Pops n Moms, 85. Thank The Good Lord for their continued presence although at times can be quite challenging I strive to stay patient n giving. They are the roots of my being, taught me what I needed to survive. I am blessed, like you August. Thanking you. 👍😁🙏🏻

Glad you’re here.

Yeah;)) and then goes the chipper;))))))
