Cutting and Rigging in Awkward Positions

Not a Tutorial.

[@jimratliff2753]

I don't know what to say to you August but, you literally are genius at what you do. You're good at the geometry and all of the rules of gravity but the thing that's premier about you is keeping safety first. What a great talent you have. It's always enjoyable to watch your videos. Keep up the good work. Be safe.

[@VeteranTreeService]

Just edited all day and posted my own video, now here I am watching yours! 😂

[@dratsieservices8928]

“I’m Superman when I’m bidding jobs”😂 ain’t that the truth. I’ve underestimated too many oak trees. I like how you keep the work clean. Less stubs to snag the rigging.

[@ethanlancaster76]

“Because I’m Superman when it comes to giving bids!” …one of the many comments he makes about tree work that apply to most of us, and this one especially in my case 😂

[@ethanlancaster76]

You show up two weeks later ready to go full samurai mode only to realize that you’ve somehow underestimated your time while overestimating your abilities at the same time. DOH!! 🤦🏻

[@JLMTreeService]

I love the high kick at 19:06!!! You always kickin stuff!!🤣

[@m2rsvp]

JJ's 200T was singing! Also, magic hands on the rigging line, defending the chicken coup. True blessings, both. On the East coast, aviation has a visual for transitioning from ~8000' AGL, ESE into EWR (Newark) of the pair of "Round Valley" and "Spruce Run" reservoirs "uniquely adjacent" to each other that taken together provide distance bearing (VFR, of course). Thanks for the bird's/arbo's/drone's-eye tour of your location. Beautiful! 🌳

[@HaroldRidgeway74]

Living in NY this is a majority of my trees. It's crazy laying in bed watching you but my body almost feels like I'm in the saddle, in the same position as you because I'm so used to it at this point 😂. You still make it look far easier than me even when these are my everyday trees. Top notch work August I aspire to be like you.

[@jonnsmusich]

Not so long now before you will be one of those "old timers" with all the experience and skill and knowhow we all admire in those 'old timers"..... Always a pleasure to watch you and your crew

[@MikeBrooks12550]

Hey August! Great 2nd half! Loved it!

[@andrewleschied568]

Amazing patience that I admire

[@roberthenry9989]

I’m Superman when I’m doing bids. Priceless. Lol

[@rustylegs2833]

It’s nice when the last branch comes off and you start blocking down cause you know you’re almost there. Nice lowering, control, positioning and awareness. Onto the next one.💪

[@sonnyblazer5504]

You & crew do EVERYTHING to MILITARY PRECISION with NO CASUALTIES! Ya know, you guys cutting something is the last step with the first step(S) being analyzing what & how to proceed. Most of your pay is for *WHAT YOU KNOW - NOT NECCESSARILY WHAT YOU DO* Must be nice to star in that movie! Thank you for including us!

[@Woodrats272xp]

August and the Boys are the Real Deal. These guys learned their trade the Real way. Not on You Tube. Some people run into money somehow and think they are lagit. Not these guys. Tons of respect to this group!

[@Sea-forest]

Wishing you peace and comfort, love your channel and your commentary 😊

[@randyshaffersr.785]

I joyed this video, we hear in Kansas only get to work on trees like this one . In all the years I’ve only got to do 3 pine removals ! And got to use your speed line technique once ! The Crue thought it was cool , we speed lined right into the trailer.

[@Timberstreetales]

Such legend! I could watch you in your flow state and work for free and be content. You are the goat I wish your body would last forever so you can continue at the pace your heart craves. I can see it an feel it over the years of watching you. Like I said legend! And thankyou for the content editing must have taken forever and a headache and placement for good angles and shots!😂 that’s a whole job on its own. Blessings to you and your family. Smooth rope work btw whoever was running it.

[@AugustHunicke]

Thanks

[@noonehere1793]

Every time i get a notice, the first thing i do is click the thumbs up when i start the episode---i know it will be worthy! Thanks for all the content👍👍

[@MrSpinnerbug]

August, you are really good at what you do!😊😊

[@MikeJowsey]

Nice speed lining! That 'married' one got divorced pretty damn quick ;-) Was wondering who flew the drone.

[@danmcburney3247]

Extra Thankful when you're doing these type of tree's, they're almost all I do !! Thank you very much for these two vid's !!! ❤❤

[@Zogg1281]

Our chainsaw/climbing tutor, at collage, used to call what we did "Pruning" and when we had to remove the whole tree, it was a "G.L.P." or "Ground Level Prune"! I got to GLP a LOT of trees during my 3 years at that college and I loved every second! 😂👍👍👍👍👍

[@trcass1]

great segment sir. you always amaze. thanks for sharing.

[@DavidKoubsky]

Are you still flying August? I know you've mentioned it before and your talk of the VFR waypoints reminded me. Beautiful work rigging and filming as always.

[@mymortonisms]

We grow some of the best tulips in Oregon. Nice job August and crew😊

[@michaelnewman-ds3fr]

August you’re awesome thanks so much for sharing your way of doing things!

[@Woodrats272xp]

Absolute love watching you guys. I’ve been laid up for 2 months. You guys are the original and best. Too many copy cat You Tubers. Keep it REAL and stay SAFE my friends.💪🇺🇸

[@steve318k]

You sir, are not well !! And with my vertigo, I should not even be watching because I'm always having to look away and/or hanging onto my chair feeling like I'm going to fall 😂... But nonetheless, truly impressive!!

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. Nice fun tree to work. I'm sure you enjoyed the climbing, rigging, limbing & chunking. Especially when you have an excellent rope-man down below. Good work all around.

[@robinelston5966]

Enjoyed the video, that tree looked kind of tedious, that 200T was spraying a nice cloud of chips. I went aloft today, my climb weight at around 240 lbs kind of wore me out, specially with a hitch that wasn't grabbing, enjoyed the view for a while before I got to work. I'll work it out, the more I do it the more I like it. Blessings to you Sir, stay safe.

[@TheRooster1122]

Goes pretty smooth when you have a Stellar faller and a top notch ground guy.!!!

[@davenkaopua4512]

It’s hard to adjust but if you round turn your flip line around the trunk that you’re climbing on, when you lean back, it’s super tight and locks you in place especially on those really small bean poles plus when you get rattled when you are cutting wood off if your spurs give out you’re locked in place and not have to only rely on your repelling line

[@chichitex1252]

Great video! Y’all live in a beautiful area of the world! ❤❤❤

[@Woodrats272xp]

Hi August. How does a fellow get ahold of Joe Johnson? Great work all the time. You’re a legend!

[@josiah513]

Always a beast as usual!!

[@danrawn4304]

Love the video work❤ it looks like you guys are on the island until I heard the Pacific Northwest I'm just across the pond in Victoria..👍👏

[@jimbrewer2893]

Since you mentioned flying. Listening to the video through buds. Hearing the sound of freedom outside. F15E Eagles taking off. We're very close to an Airforce base and the departure/landing slot is just about 1/4 mile away. Nice video and great scenery.

[@TheRooster1122]

August the Falling Beast for the win.!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@thecartatree]

10:22 That was buttery. "Oh im sorry, yes you're the man" Knew that run was gunna call for some necessary kudos.

[@thesawwhisperer3384]

Joe's work is skookum, and so is yours

[@Duttonworks]

Your vids make me miss southern Oregon.

[@jibiroo]

I like to say “Fork a stick in me I’m over~ it” another great vid thanx!!!

[@jordonshepard643]

Do you think you could mess up a notch or something so the rest of us could feel human please haha for real though love the rigging videos and if I’m honest watching you is what made me want to start climbing! Thanks for the inspiration, in my biggest obstacles I think….. one bite at a time cause of you

[@Katchi_]

Us? Turds in your pockets again?

[@davenkaopua4512]

If you round turn your flip line, it’s hard to adjust positioning, but it locks you in If you’re spurs give out when you get rattled, you don’t only have to rely on your repelling line.

[@Eastcoasttreeguy]

That butt tight maneuver was very nice..great success!

[@Joannesyoga]

Hope you've got a top quality masseur/se for that back :)

[@Jrthetreeclimber]

Great video

[@gs1100ed]

Do you ever use the drone when you are doing a quote? Was wondering if you might have seen that branch caught up in that adjacent tree?

[@AugustHunicke]

I think I did once looking for critters

[@devondunkle1063]

Tulip smells kinda sweet n sour. Fun climbs tho. Good job on the take down bro.

[@mississippijohn1432]

Great job. Awesome views. Yall stay safe homies.

[@SimonLafontaine-c5g]

Appreciate your skill, no doubt ! What the right Price for That job ,?!

[@gumble223]

Seems like a candidate for speed line with the chipper right there ? Sure there’s a good reason ya didn’t. Nice work

[@jamesc7192]

I noticed that you have an assortment of trim saws. How do you determine which one to use ?

[@kevinkms5993]

How do you like that chainsaw bar?

[@AugustHunicke]

It’s great

[@batmantiss]

Best job I ever had.

[@toddjacks8288]

Awesome job brother

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Need more aviation vids August!!! You ever get yer ticket?

[@AugustHunicke]

Not yet 🥺

[@sylviodante619]

If you’re Supper Man when it comes to bids. Just out of curiosity how much was this bid?

[@AugustHunicke]

$2200

[@sylviodante619]

@@AugustHunicke Thanks for getting back on this. I wasn’t that far out. I started at $2000 then upped it to $2500.

[@pekerja27]

Cara yang memotong kayu yang sangat baik ini... Saya sering menggunakan cara ini memekai tambang

[@haigha7697]

So when you’re using a top handle saw on the ground to cut, how many times have you cut your saw lanyard? Not that I have, of course not.

[@Sea-forest]

I now look back and wonder why I never became a forester or arborist because I love the forest and nature and I have cut down many trees for firewood with my father as a young man

[@fernandomurillo9272]

Awesome job great skill

Awesome video!😊

August, here's a video of The Traveling Seed crew removing a broken top/snag over a 7200V utility line that might interest you - this channel is normally utility work, but he has a tree situation on this one that requires the experts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/np-3dndsrMSFr68
