Enjoyed the Climb,and the Rigging. Hosanna did a great job on the Ground. Thanks August.

I use the half hitch a lot, mainly when structures aren't involved. Did have one get loose and wrinkle up a gutter. So clove hitch for those times. And I'll tell ground guys that they can just pull off either knot, off the butt of the limb. Often, they'll run the whole tail end through anyway, not thinking. And also use rope snaps most of the time; very few on the ground with knot skills. Speaking of such, I've also been there with ground folk trying to send up another rope. You can show them before ascent; they'll forget, and after 2 or 3 slide down, you'll get a Gordian knot coming up the tree. Even had a very experienced tree dude send up a whole rope bag recently. Even he later wondered why he did that. Also loving the little battery Echo. I have a bud who has serious health issues and has had mine longer than I have. I "borrowed" "his" saw recently and he missed it immediately. Wonderful for limbs. Also do a lot of self rigging. Most of the time speeds up the job, especially if the job is a little short-handed. There are also ground guys who seem to be surgically attached to the line, and won't drop it and chip in to help process a limb on the ground. They'll just stand there and wait for the other(s) to do all the work. I'll start running the rope myself if this slows things down. Also appreciate your patience with the noobie. I've heard way too much graphic language in the past for a job that requires so many details. My favorite groundies are other climbers. And I try to do as well if I happen to be supporting other climbers. Recently had a very experienced (non-climbing) tree guy cut my beloved blue moon in half, not having policed the ropes properly. So it goes. I don't often comment, but I enjoy these real world tree work videos (excellently produced, BTW) from an experienced pro and I have picked up the odd tip as well. Beautiful new addition, and congratulations all around!

I often use a clove hitch to do 2 branches at once... do I now move to the quicker, darker side of half hitches.... 🤣 I'd be worried about it getting caught up on something and loosening in a more complex situation.

I see the ropes, the chipper, and the branches on the ground as a combination that should include clear distance. Assuming that an instruction has been internalized by a novice groundsperson is a dangerous area. One mistake down there can be fatal. It appears from the video that the chipper could be placed farther away, even though it would mean more work for the crew. The one thing worse than being pulled to the ground by your rigging rope or your own line would be to find yourself injured on the ground and being rapidly dragged to the chipper. I know it sounds morbid; but the potential result demands the discussion. In every profession that involves machinery and several people working together under pressure, any distance between the understanding of the experienced person and that of the novice is a situation. I remember once, on a construction site, when I was almost run over by a rough terrain fork life backing up in a muddy area where I could not move quickly due to the mud. The fork lift was fast; it was too noisy to communicate; and the driver was concentrating on the load while going backwards. Everybody was in a hurry. That situation had escalated to imminent danger for me very quickly.

There is definitely a time and place for natural crotch, self rigging, and daisy chaining like that. I do a lot of self rigging either natural crotch or with the rigging rope wrench just because it frees someone up on the ground who would otherwise be just standing around holding a rope all day. When are the new panther bars coming?

Getting the kids / younger generation in the mix makes it much more enjoyable to get the job done. Learning on the job so to speak is the best way to learn. The physics of the world is best explained by the example of it working, plus they get to see what it takes to make or save money. Both of which is needed to survive in this world.

I was leaving for work early one morning and noticed a lot of tree bark in the street. It took me a minute to realize that it must have been struck by lightning. It was interesting to watch that tree try to repair itself. It was several years but came down in another storm. I should have taken it down but it was trying to live.

That was a great comment to any new groundy, the scariest moments are, when you see a happy groundy (or homeowner that wants to help) running towards the chipper with a bunch of branches. And you'll suddenly notice your life line is tangled up in those branches. You'll scream as hard as you can, when they dont wear any com system, but their earprotection and the noisy chipper makes it that they cant hear you.... Happened to me a couple of times...Usually I'll just jank the line as hard as i can, that'll make 'em look over their shoulder if you are lucky. Some of the more scary moments during the job!

I think you didn’t notice the wobbliness is that the branches were providing a damping effect to take out the wobble. Like shock absorbers. Once those were gone there was nothing to dampen it.

Using the half hitch to rig multiple limbs is a great no nonsense way of getting the job done without having extra gear. There is a time and situation for everything and as long as you have quality help and can articulate the situation, it may just be the best solution for the moment.

I can't believe you showed that "dark web" rigging bit!!! What if there was a freak even that managed to stop gravity's effects in your area as you were lowering that?!?!?!? You put EVERYONES' lives at risk doing that, even mine, because there could have been a knock-on effect that disrupted the space time continuum across the whole planet and made me fall out of my comfortable chair (aka the toilet) while watching this video!!!!! Some people just don't think of the bigger picture when making KZbin content 😋😁😂😂😂😂

@@AugustHunicke my bad August. That remark was not intended for your video. I was watching a video of a couple in West Virginia, looking for a man that’s been taking pop shots at motorists on the highway killing several. There’s I believe a $35,000.00 reward for information leading to the shooter. Scary stuff. Although, we’re moving on to better things and tuning in to the Monkey Beaver channel. Also, I received the 2-12” panther bars I purchased from you. You fixed me up with 1 more that I did not purchase. It’s easy to love you August. Thanks man😊

I’d say the apprentice could move with a bit more purpose. Yes hard without confidence. And I’d suggest August, as the boss, give a pep talk on strength. It’s a physical job and the only way to get strength is to earn it by showing up every day and giving it your all. Do that and no one will utter a thing about what you can’t do, we’ll make everything you can do size.
