Hey August this is August. I’ve commented on a few of your videos in the past. I’m 18 and have been doing trees believe it or not for the past 4 1/2 years now. I work for the Tree service One Two Tree out of Grand Rapids MN. I would love to come help you guys for a week or so if you need any help. Witch I know you don’t actually need the help. but I would love to come join you guys. New adventures right!

HI August, nothing like unwinding after a long day with a big blow down red oak that was in torsion three ways, loaded a maple in a twist and ants...did i mention ants.... my hands are doing that buzzing nerve thing from many many tanks of gas through the husky. I loved every minute of it and look forward to more tomorrow. I really mean it , it is nice to unwind with one of your videos. my brain is still in chainsaw mode. Right on, George.

Span rigging can be a saving grace in some occasions, but is slower & can be harder to hit an exact point when lowering the first cut. It's really nice for the climber though, because he doesn't have to have the rope swung to him every time. Definitely a good technique to have in the toolbox.

I have (4) 200T’s. All still riding the shelf. CS2511T’s nimble and capable. Have (3). CS355T’s. 14”, 16” 18”ported. Have (4). Most dependable and comfortable trim saws to date. Do have the ECHO battery trim. Very slick for evening or city work. I use the 200’s every now and then. Feels heavy and clunky for most work. They are capable of excellent performance when everything is right. Mine are not equal from one day to the next. I like the ECHO’s for day in. Day out consistentcy. Thanks August and crew.

Not hating just sharing my own experience - instead of using two ropes at the end when you were on that dog leg, I would suggest terminating the rigging line just below your cut and using a light duty block/pulley for a span rigging scenario. I saw you use spam rigging at the beginning of the video but I think you could have used it again when chucking down that wood. Personal it is my favorite way to get wood down without so much swing. Love you guys thanks for all the content!
