[@georgschweiger2218]

I‘ve been climbing for 10 years now, have done all kinds of stuff. Crane work, helicopter work and so on. Everytime l see a Hunicke vid l learn something new. Appreciate you guys! Thanks for taking us along!

Recovering from triple bypass from April 29. This channel helps a lot. Love the content!!!

12 years ago, I had my heart valve replaced. still hesitating to climb & tree work (DIY ). He sure makes me want to go and climb something and have fun!

[@danmcburney3247]

Hi August.....part of KZbin here !! Thank you for bringing us to work today ❤❤

[@Zebracat5]

Great Video August. Love it everytime you take a Top out of a Dead Tree. Good job on the Flag too.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Awesome video. I was afraid when you climbed that tree, but I should have known you would be safe. The ending, "God bless America!"

[@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

I live in Oregon also man. It’s been nice having a little rest from the heat

[@southjerseymountain]

I absolutely loved your video. I had a tear in one eye when you made the flag pole repair. Thank you for doing that. As always, great content . Damian you bring out the best in every video. We put a flag pole up 45 years ago and never miss a day with out admiring a nations symbol. Your fans from South Jersey, USA

That’s the most patriotic thing I’ve seen. Should be a Monkey Beaver promo video.

I salute you August Hunicke...a skilled tradesman and a patriot!

[@wrstew1272]

That tiny Echo rocks! 😊

[@saltrock9642]

I always have a great time sitting on your head looking at the beautiful hills. I even like to be perched on a limb near where you are working like an admiring bird. Even if it’s just hanging out on a dead tree. That’s a fantastic place to make a cut. I’m here. Oh nice drop. Trunk monkey? Crazy stuff. Bless you. Yeah flop it. Wow, that one bounced, get out a dodge! Great work on the beautiful flag and I bet the kids love you for it. It’s meant to be. 🇺🇸

[@jaysendanley3766]

I thought you were going to ask us too clear out the poison oak. 😂.

[@thesickhorseranch]

White Oak doesn't seem to have an expiration date. When it's on the ground you can climb it no longer.

[@DavidHolder-o3m]

Hi august great content seeing you working hard I’m 74year old but still cutting trees in logs but I can’t climb any more keep up good work I wish all the best David uk

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. My kind of tree. Nice and straight. Dead, but pretty sound.....good enough to climb. AND what better way to enjoy the Echo DCS2500T chainsaw. I knew you would love it when you finally got use to it's capabilities and limitations. No better saw for limbing up a tree....especially for an older climber (not to say you are old...certainly not as old as I). Thanks for sharing the joy of climbing.

[@daveinky]

I LOVE the old Trunk Monkey Series from Tincher Williams

[@batmantiss]

I climbed a gnarly dead ponderosa yesterday. Had to strip the bark away to get my spikes in the wood. I thought of you. And Reg Coates. Then I manned up and did it.

[@alexkemp5775]

Just started climbing and still learning new things noticed that you used drt for your climb line when you tied in if you was to gaf out or fall would it catch you with no knots or limbs being below you on the main body of the tree

[@trcass1]

Good segment August. That little Echo does quite the job. Loved your "trunk monkey" comments. How does the Dewalt do in comparison? That tree jumped a bunch. There was a lot of force in that one. thanks for sharing.

[@stuby2014]

That's one heck of an expensive fix for a flagpole

[@dgoodman1484]

Better man than I am. I stopped climbing trees without needles. Not enough experience with them. Brown needles I’m ok with. 👍🏼👍🏼

Always great content. Was wondering if you guys have had any strange weather. Never had a summer like we have had here. Been so wet and windy this summer. Planes out spraying every day. Already lost some huge trees this year due to saturated ground and crazy winds. Are you guys aware of HAARP? All the best from Scotland.

August u remind me of someone draped in the red white and blue. I just can’t put my finger on who. Love the videos be safe!!

[@Slayer-Knight]

Did you use an adjustable false crotch to tie to the spar you left to transfer to the smaller tree? Or how did you set your rope to climb down?

[@AugustHunicke]

Ya

[@TreeworxvdPloeg]

How where you double roped on that dead naked tree when you swing to the other tree?

[@AugustHunicke]

False crotch in the top

[@michaeldougfir9807]

Me too. If you have an Echo battery climbing saw, I want to know how you like it. I have been considering such a thing. Please tell.

[@AugustHunicke]

I’ve used it in several videos. It’s great for limbs, but not so good on the wood.

[@JasonBristow2003]

I don't understand why a person would walk outside their garage and look at a dead tree for 2 years. Enjoyed the vid as always

[@odnamsrazor2364]

I KNOW, RIGHT. IT'S ALWAYS SO EASY TO SPEND OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY!

[@4.0gpa44]

​@@odnamsrazor2364Well they might end up spending the insurance's money if the tree fell on the house.

Hey August! This is the first video of yours I’ve seen in quite awhile. For some reason KZbin hasn’t been putting your vids in my feed. Anyway how’s the flying going??? Are you working on your instrument rating yet? P.s. Love your videos brother. 🤙 God bless!

[@AugustHunicke]

Thanks, not yet I still have to do the written test

[@mxcollin95]

@@AugustHunicke HUGE pro tip: The best way to study for any FAA written test (private, instrument or commercial) is to buy a current Gleim Instrument book that contains all the written test questions and answers. Go through the whole book and immediately circle all the right answers then just practice reading the questions and the corresponding right answers. Don’t even bother reading the wrong answers. Go through the the book quickly as many times as you can (repetition really is key) and before you know it you’ll read half of a question and already know the right answer. Even if you don’t understand a question it’s ok just memorize the right answer. After you get that written test out of the way you’ll have plenty of time before your checkride to figure out anything you need to with your instructor. You may feel like you’re cheating doing it that way or that you’re cheating yourself out of a learning opportunity but in reality you’re not. You’re just getting that written test knocked out of the way quickly (and chances are you’ll get a really good score doing it the way I mentioned which will help with the examiner’s initial opinion of you) so you can focus on learning all the correct, important and real world stuff. At times FAA written test questions are poorly written, misleading, outdated and even occasionally slightly incorrect. It may seem like there’s a lot of questions to memorize but really it’s completely doable with a little repetition. You’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll instinctively know most of them after a few weeks of studying that way. As you get closer towards your test date just focus on the questions you struggle with and take practice tests often. In the end you’ll end up saving money getting the written test done this way as opposed to constantly having to ask and pay your instructor to explain every poorly written “gotcha” test questions to you and then have to pay your instructor again to teach you the real world way of doing things. I was a CFI for a lot of years and have seen probably a hundred + students do the written test that way with 90%+ results and have been a corporate airplane pilot for 22 years. Totally up to you how you go about it but what I mentioned above is how many, many people go about it and do well. Good luck man! I’m rooting for ya! 🤙

How thin is to thin on a dead tree to climb it?? 8 inch?

[@AugustHunicke]

Too general a question.

@@AugustHunicke if you had a dead Douglas looks solid has been dead for 4-5 years , how high would you climb it how thin is to thin to climb it , it's tall and skinny about 16-18 at base and 80 feet tall. So it's 8 inches wide at 50 feet . How high would you go ? how thin is too thin for a dead douglas?

It's not an OSHA violation for the owner to personally violate OSHA as long as his employees follow the rules. Even for an employee, it's a primary facile violation, and a defense to that is it was the safest way to do it in the circumstances and a waiver couldn't be applied for.
