Video Class Submissions (please choose top 3)

[@troyerthedestroyer]

Thanks for doing the class brother! I would have never started making video's if you had not offered the class and I have discovered that making videos gives me a creative outlet as well as the ability to give others a small glimpse into what makes our profession so special to me. I enjoy it so much that my wife and I are planning to make a documentary about tree work and are planning to travel the west coast and visit some other tree guys to get some epic footage and interviews. You, Reg, Buckin, and Lawrence Shuiltz are top on my list of folks to visit. Also, Steve's was my favorite submission, melting down junk into usable tools is just too cool😎

[@stevesrt8]

Glad you're doing videos bro. Love the music and lately with the drone shots. Epic. Merry Christmas!

[@troyerthedestroyer]

@@stevesrt8 Thanks Steve hope you have a merry Christmas too!

[@sizemoretreeworks]

It’s so cool to see what everyone created. Awesome opportunity. Thanks August!

[@fabianibarra6928]

So cool to see everyone's videos awesome to see a variety of tree work in one video. Brian's video was awesome great job improvising and overcoming the challenge you had

[@jibiroo]

~~~Thanx August for all you do and especially for the class!!! I know you wish you could have given us more time yet I feel like you gave some of us more than you realize, I don't think I would have this Mac if you hadn't started the class and it has been a goal for a very long time~~~Cool vids best of luck to all y'all~~~

[@sheilacampbell355]

#4, #7 and #10 - all good videos. I liked #4 because it had a good balance of visuals, clear narration or explanation, and music that enhanced the experience without being overpowering.

[@jonathanspafford7181]

my buddy fabian !!! wasn’t expecting that! fabian actually gave me a ton of tips a few weeks back about setting up the mounting for my go pro!

[@davidcmetheney5194]

I actually enjoyed everyone of those videos! They were all great. I did like #1, #10 and the one where the guy cut down the bradford pears the most. Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I do like the videos where they they introduce themselves and describe what they are doing the most. The gentleman who showed walking his dog had the biggest impact for me thank you so much for posting the submissions

[@AugustHunicke]

I love reading people‘s thoughts on these videos.

[@TamasBordas-d7j]

Hello August, I finally pulled the trigger and got a MB saddle. Love it! I had the pleasure using it on a black cheery pruning job. Super happy with it. The videos were absolutely wonderful and inspiring. I myself got into climbing late in the game at 46 . The three videos I really enjoyed were 4 ,5 and dropped a bomb. 4 and 5 had great angles from start to finish . 5 flowed really well, but I wish had a little more verbal interaction with the audience. 4 had just about everything except that perfect flow from start to finish, but had great interaction with the audience . I loved the bomb video because the song was perfect for dropping wood. lol. Thank again August and marry Christmas to you and your family!

[@stevesrt8]

Thanks August. It was cool to hang out on the lives with you and the guys. I love how you put everything together while climbing a tree lol. Merry Christmas!

[@AugustHunicke]

You OG’s I want to visit more.

[@zacharyvought5597]

Sizemore was great. He seems like a fun guy to be around. The video had good editing and a mixture of camera angles. There was humor and a heartfelt message at the end. I loved the music in the vine-covered tree removal video with the spider lift. A was a toss-up between the guy moving the huge beam by himself and the last video. I loved the suspenseful music.

[@axesandthings483]

My favorite videos, in this order, are 8, 7 and 6. Notable mentions were 2, 4 and 5. Cheers! Also, I got a kick out of that cute little chipper on tracks that was sitting on a trailer in video 5.

[@JordanFarrell-dc6mc]

That’s my Scheisling 235 ! Just sold it for a bigger machine 🤣

[@axesandthings483]

haha nice. It was adorable.

[@KeithCooper-sj4kq]

Thanks for sharing, this is awesome and everyone was great. I vote 4,1,7 and we love you too!!

[@NHlocal]

First choice; 2 Second choice; 4 Third choice; 8 You've been busy August, I am beginning to understand what "busy" is. All good videos that were submitted from your "students". I chose the 3 I enjoyed the most in no particular order. I can very much relate to you doing "solo" work and having to be more "careful" in every area as you go through the process. Thanks for taking the time to share all this with us. Keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🌲 Randy

[@paradise6399]

I would say i liked this video and it's entirety as a whole of all ten videos! I really liked the music for the first video very nostalgic for me and vibin!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

I am not one to judge. Good luck on the one that wins! Love the channel! Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

[@tomschaefer221]

1,4,and 10. Thanks August for putting this together while hanging out in a tree. Something about your videos that I could watch all day and never get bored! Merry Christmas!

[@ryanfias]

#6 Troyer the Destroyer, enjoyed all the videos though… great work.

[@mississippijohn1432]

Everyone did a great job and i learned a lot along the way. Just really happy i could be a part of it. Thank you sir and stay safe everyone.

[@JordanFarrell-dc6mc]

Thank you for the opportunity to do this and I’m glad people like our videos 😀

[@robinelston5966]

1,6,7 did it for me. I ranked them pretty much on entertainment value, not so much for documentation or informational content if you catch my drift. first of all I really like music, not a real heavy metal fan but #6 is still music and well done. I'm a 70's 80's classic rock guy, my wife a classical violinist and my son is a DJ, hence my obsession with music. As a long time photographer I like rakish and unusual angles for shots. Fades/transitions from scene to scene catch my interest as well. Kudos to all 10 of the guys, a lot of work went into it and it shows. And thank you August for setting up the whole project, I'm always a fan of your work! Blessings to all, I'm excited to see who the lucky Monkey Beaver winners are.

[@owenroberts212]

Dang sad I missed out on this opportunity 🔥

[@danmcburney3247]

Well I'm not into making video's, even though I subscribed 😅 so I really shouldn't participate !! But if I had to pick three I'd say 2, 8 and 10 in no particular order !!! It was fun to watch 😊

[@theiCJH]

Video 6 was sick!

[@Saymyenameyo]

1,5 and 9 but I think all of them did really good work….. your a good man as well and have passed a lot of knowledge to a lot of ppl

[@randynewtonsr9659]

Wow that was Awesome August 😁 I don’t know who to pick because they all were sooo good , it’s going to be a tough one for sure 🤔

[@AustinHeppell-h8z]

#6 Troyer the Destroyer was the best to me. Great videos all around though.

[@m2rsvp]

You deserve nice, warm, sunny afternoons. Great vid over vids. Peace.

[@camt167]

10, 3, 6. 10 was the best - the amazing views and very entertaining!

[@ddalton692]

👍 They are all great videos ⭐ including your video August. I was watching these at 3 this morning when the storm hit and knocked out the power. It just came back at 6:45 pm and finished watching. Amazing work gentlemen ✅ Well done to EVERYONE My picks go to 1. Fabian Ibarra 6. Troy Thompson 7. Jay Baxter Steve's version of the timber vice was way cool 💯% Thank you for sharing these talents 😎 with us Merry Christmas 🌟🌲 I love you guys ❤

[@dancutting8940]

Video 2,4,5 were my top three with 2 being better. It had a story, different camera angles, another person who you’re curious about - something that you could watch hours of. I tend to like the ones with more details, which goes both ways. People like to know why, but it also brings out the trolls.

[@kylelawrence5062]

Thank you for sharing really enjoyed 4-10-2

[@skylerwood989]

#6 was sick good music fast paced treekilling

[@DavidHudspeth-yi9cg]

No afence don't want music I like watching you explaining what your doing it helps people learn the proper way and safe way of tree cutting .I do appreciate your videos very much you taught this 71 year old man a lot THANKS AUGUST

[@LongsQuest]

#2 Wish Bvis would entered one of his in tree videos though, #1 and #4. Got my mollies the other day, I think they will work much better than what I was using. Thanks.

[@Marty54GMC]

#2, sometimes when everyone else is busy, you have to just do it yourself. I just put up a carport. Directions recommended 3 to 5 people. Just my wife and myself assembled it. Oh yes, I'm 68 yrs old. #6, always wanted to do bucket work, never had the opportunity. Good music also. #10, Starting at 48 climbing trees is pretty cool. I climbed my last one at 60. Still would like to do it, but my knees just don't work that way anymore.

[@stoneh9195]

Troyer the destroyer!! #6 video. Love from the northwest

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

1st Place (for me): #4 - Justin Sizemore. Way more diverse content, incorporating removals, surgery, end weight, stump grinding and cabling all in one! 2nd Place: #2 - Brian Vis. I love the problem solving! That's the name of the game with tree work as well! 3rd Place: #7 - Jay Baxter. I love his style of vids! Reminds me of the Human channel.

[@p.e.8149]

That was interesting and gave some guys exposure and to see what others see and can maybe adjust accordingly. What's the saying give it a little tweak here and there.

[@ZacharyCampbell-z9c]

Sizemore!! Nice work

[@nate-408]

Video 4 Justin Sizemore Video 5 Jordan Farrell Video 7 Jay Baxter Great work everyone. Just another way you're giving back August. You're a great for sure. Thanks for all you do. It is greatly appreciated and you are loved for sure.

[@bryanbradford2742]

I like video #1 and #5 best. I like 6 and 7 too but I also like the house building one and the metal casting one 🤷🏻‍♂️😁 they're all pretty dang good. Kind of feels hypocritical judging anybody's creation when I don't make any videos myself🫤

[@Wildwoodjake]

Nice vid August

[@skagited9617]

I'll put in my '2-cents' for 2, 5, & 7... order....??? Interesting post, August. Good idea on the non-commital Membership... btw! LOL

[@emmetdonohue9545]

Love the chuckles at the end. Go have a good day now

[@AndrewFrutiger-r8b]

Troyer the destroyer video 6 best boss and crew around! Northwest Tree Service let’s goooo! Fyi I saved his life yesterday. You’re welcome Troy boy.

[@cartercutstrees]

i really enjoyed troys video number 6 found it the most exciting and entertaining my other two favorites were 7 (jays) and 1 (fabian)

[@NickRubini]

My vote is for Jay Baxter!! We forgave him for doing Rip cuts!

[@AugustHunicke]

LOL

[@lorriedmussett4692]

What's up August...hope you & the family & crew are good! #4 Justin Sizemore 1. Felt like he was comfortable addressing his audience, he atleast appeared to. 2. Clear description of the work being done, & thoughts once completed. 2.5 He seemed to have genuine knowledge on the trees he was working on. I like how he noted his presense on the job the day before doing prep work. I appreciate the explanations like, on the weight reduction & equip being used....also strength capacity etc. 4. With the informative above mentioned and clearly laying out the job. I felt he was a funny guy like the intro joke from August.....but even later in his video...#CoolGuy #CoolGuyW/Glasses

[@williamsolomon1307]

Top 3! #1. Troy Thompson #2. Sizemore #3 that God fearing Bearded American with the Blue MonkeyBeaver 2.0 suspenders! Thanks August. 🇺🇸🙏🏽

[@Skylinejo-bf6zn]

Thanks August. That was fun.

[@redbeardtree1776]

My vote is for video 8, that’s a cool he made his own tool

[@CATGVO]

5, 8 and 7 for me, thanks.

[@tonyjackson8640]

[@EddieTM-gj3vt]

[@Neighborhoodgo2guy]

I like "timber" the most...not included🤔, then #8

[@nowwhatshedoing-bv3qo]

2,4,8 for me.

[@JohnODell-x2g]

I would say # 1,6 and 7 I feel that #6 did the best out of the 3 But it was to loud with the music.

[@SandraMosher-gp5zy]

I like #10 Joe Shelley of New Brunswick, Canada. I’d hire him. Joe sure knows how to handle his chainsaw and safety ropes professionally. Great job.

[@krisguttu1673]

Video #6 for my boy Troyer the Destroyer

[@JimG31547]

8,5,6

[@mataafoa5518]

[@philipanderson2627]

4, 5 & 7

[@drkwlsk]

My votes go to Mr. Sizemore as #1, Rubina #2 and Mr. Howell #3. I enjoy instructional videos, I hate videos blasting music with no explanations.

[@HumbleHarbor]

Hands down number 6 then 7 and number 10

[@susanshelley5498]

#10 is my #1pick, then 1 and 7

[@markg2806]

2, 4, 10

[@MichaelHussey-t7o]

Sizemore!

[@dilligaph]

2,4, and 8. Honorable mention to 9

[@FileDocumentations]

Thompson , Fabian, then Jay. Thanks everyone!

[@richardhollis2530]

The editing on all was excellent but if I was to choose a favourite it would be Number 4 for me. Tree work and talking with confidence which isn’t that easy in front of a camera.
