A message for the NEW CLIMBER

Coping with Fear and Nervous Tension.

People always told me money didn't grow on trees 😂😂 well now I tell those people....yes it does, you just gotta go up there and get it. Stay safe and stay at it👍👍

August, I've been at this line clearance gig for just over 4 years, climbing a little better than 3 years. 46 years old and green, crazy but I love it as well. Almost all my tree work wisdom was harvested from Yutube Videos by "Dan Holiday, Lawrence Schultz and of course August Hunicke." I salute all you men for shaping and molding me into a guy who never stops learning how to do the job better and safer. I can only imagine how many treeple you've left with an everlasting impression. Good looking out big guy, I salute you.❤🇺🇸💪😁🤙😎

Judging by my nerves, I will be a new guy for quite some time come. The bald hornets nest at 80’ was not helping things this afternoon…. Thanks for the continued pearls of wisdom!

I´m an arborist from Brazil, and I´ve been working a lot in last couple years. Unfortunately this job is not well recognized or well paid in my country, we don´t have an especific certification or courses and all the equipment I watch arborists using on youtube are really expensive. But that´s not gonna let me down! I love my job, I love rigging and climbing trees. Hope someday I could get to the level of you guys! Greetings

Thanks for this, great conversation on climbing. For me, terrified of heights, I had to learn to trust my gear. Once I learned that I was able to relax. I will always double tie, the time spent doing it is so much less than the time you might lose, it makes no sense not to.

[@raytyre750]

Been at this stuff for over 40 years and still love the climbing and rigging. Trees have been better to me than I have to them. You're a fine ambassador for the rest of us August.

I think out of all of the KZbin Arborist videos I have watched this is my favorite one. I love hearing your perspective and insight to this line of work. I also like the philosophical conversation you had with the camera I do this often in my time on the road. I think about what part we play in society. I feel like the age old adage rings true if you find something you love to do and can get paid for it you are truly a blessed man.

I enjoy your introspect sessions man. Finding fellow thinkers nowadays is a rarity. The class way you go about it, and what you accomplish, shows the benefits of such a mind. Be well August.

I just discovered your channel and have enjoyed hours of videos. I have been doing my own tree work on my own property for years, but have just recently been learning how wrong - and dangerous some of my techniques were. I have been receiving quite an education from your channel on safety and proficiency. Oh, and by the way, I have been a professional pilot for the last 40 years - starting in the Army, and continuing in Law Enforcement aviation (helicopters) for the last 27. I appreciate your aviation analogies and your earlier references to paying your electrician well for his skills. In other words, respecting the skills of the other trades and staying in our perspective lanes. Keep up the awesome and entertaining work.

I just started climbing, been with my tree company 3 years now. Found this video today and I love your attitude! I feel the SAME with many of the thoughts you have. Can't wait to explore the channel

[@thedurochersofficial]

Wow, my sincere gratitude for your instruction and channel in general. Enjoying the life philosophy as well. I just started climbing at 58 so it's all new, fun, addicting, adrenilating, and intellectually stimulating all at once. Learned a few things from Jeff Jepson who was kind enough to tutor me and my son some last fall. Lots of generosity in this profession. So just a shout out to say thanks and you are making a big difference in the lives of many. We can learn from our own mistakes or we can earn from the insights and mistakes, counsel, wisdom and advise of others. The rope in the chipper was something I never thought about! scary eh? so much to learn... one day at a time. Regards and thanks.

[@juanitawatts3218]

You are so funny with your conversations. Your sarcasm is right on it.I am 74 and love watching you guys take care of the trees. I am a nurse but when I was a kid , I climbed and lived in the trees. I am from SC and we have many pine trees. I have travel all over the US as a travel nurse and have seen so many different trees. You are a good stand up comedian!! Lol

[@scatoutdebutter]

"I climb big plants" -- love the perspective. Thanks for all the videos and enthusiasm about your work/science/art/craft/profession.

[@sambgroovy123]

You’re the man August, bringing some recognition to the hard working people of southern Oregon.

[@arborymastersllc.9368]

This profession is so addictive. It's almost like unspeakable to those who.....

[@neightjay]

Beauty, just brewed up a hot coffee and was notified of a new August video. Thanks for the great timing August, you're the best.
