tree work and life work

[@dan-dan-da-treeman]

The message at the end was what I come here for. Thanks for sharing August. I really appreciate them. Good work.

[@clintonr9804]

Pastor Hunicke -- once again, you say more in seven minutes than many "preachers" say in a lifetime. God bless.

[@trstreemanagement7545]

I’ve just watched this video with my morning coffee and I’m heading straight back in the house to tell my wife how much I appreciate her. Been meaning to do it for a few days/weeks now. Just feel it’s overdue.

[@johntrainssmith1475]

You can never spoil your wife with that sort of care and affection, part of being a real man, if you read the fine print, its in there somewhere :).

[@rhondasweeney7271]

You have given us a gift, a gift of thoughtfulness. Thank you for giving.

[@johntrainssmith1475]

Love the tree vid, but the debrief and chat afterwards was the real gold, sorry to hear of Vincent's passing, sounds like one of his legacys was to spur you all on to action, and to have a world wide reach thru your video. Its good to be a safe harbor for others, and in other seasons of our lives, we need the safe harbor from the storm of life ourselves. I love the unfiltered life of young kids, and the joy that that can bring. Next question to put forward to the family, is to ask them to pray and tell you what they hear from God in reply of what to do, now that can really surprise you, look forward to hearing about that next adventure. Thanks again for the time you take to make these videos, in the time required to get the shot, the editing, and the going back over them to be finally uploaded for viewing. Cheers mate and keep up the great work of being an available Father, Husband and Man to your family beyond Yt.

Be doer’s of the word not hearers, another great video 👍

[@osagejon8972]

So much I could comment on in this video but you drove the main point well August. I will just say that our mission field is everywhere, our mission field is with everyone, and our mission field is now!

[@daleprice4398]

Thank you for sharing that.

[@Johnstanton533]

Good message August. Getting out of my Self Pity is one of my recent goals since it is the root of all that I do wrong. Helping others is a good plan. It's great that your bringing up your Children this way,and in a Christian Church. Keep the Videos coming.

[@Riverguide33]

Sincere words of a personal nature are most impactful. Thank you, August. 👍

[@Randy-pq2oy]

Hello to you and your family ❤ . I'm 69 and been following Jesus for half that time . We are always led by God but we have to be listening. For the last ten years I have come to understand more an more that giving is with out return is a big part of our walk , .

[@susansmith-franks684]

Watching a Master at their chosen work, is endlessly satisfying. Thank you.

[@emmetdonohue9545]

Happy Father’s Day, you are showing your kids the way to live.

[@ddalton692]

👍 so blessed that you share your convictions, it instills thought & action around the world, no matter how many souls 💫 Sorry to hear that Vincent passed, RIP forever in God’s glory. I’m sure he felt the love within your church 💗 and now his passing has inspired the gift 🎗 Thank you August for such wonderful videos. They are much appreciated. We love you brother ♥️🌲

[@brunobarks6544]

You know whats important brother. Thank you , God bless 🙏

[@christoherhenninger6401]

What a great way to grow up doing for and thinking of others. It’s up to us fathers to teach our children as much as we can and grow with them in relationship along the way. Children are such a blessing from God. Happy Father’s Day August.

[@jasonwagner5571]

Great video brother. I’m confident that the congregation at church is blessed when you do offer encouraging words. Well done!

[@stevebrough304]

Kindness always goes along ways. It's very refreshing in today's world. Which is pretty much what your message is about.

[@ddalton692]

👍

[@pre_ban_andy]

Thanks August. That bit at the end hit. I have stepped back from serving at church, and I need to get re-engaged. I appreciate your insight and sharing your heart with us. Blessings to you and family!

[@hulkthedane7542]

You at 6:40; such a skilled craftsman, that it looks like art. Seemingly effortless. Beautiful work!

[@MikeBrooks12550]

Hey August! Happy Father's Day! That was some skillful cutting for sure. Great video, Great words, and Great serving! Thank you!

[@nealpontius1845]

Amazing how the Holy Spirit works for each of us if we will let it. Your a good man and father August. And an absolutely amazing tree man. Love the videos and the messages. Thanks for sharing.

[@jacobreinen5392]

My fellow Brother in Christ! Your videos are ABSOLUTE GOLD!! Priceless! Thank you so much for your invested time! This video really stands out with your extra commentary! Love it! Please keep ‘em coming! You’re my favorite KZbinr and Arborist, Brother! Have leaned so much from you!

Excellent message. My friend God has blessed us through you and we do appreciate that. It looks like you brought something for us. Thank you. ❤

[@bernicebeam2575]

God bless you August for being that Psalm 27 godly father. Thank you for your encouragement.

[@eddiephillips2000]

Faith without Works? Every Christian who TRULY loves the Lord should relate to this. God knows I try to serve this way. My poetry is one way I do this.

[@TreeandLawnSteward]

I am inspired by your life being A Christian Tree Climber. You Serve God through Jesus Christ In this industry I believed we’re on the same boat.😊 God bless you and to your family.

[@robinelston5966]

Whether the Holy Spirit gives you a kick in the butt or gentle nudge, take action! It's amazing what happens, we are the church. Great message, thank you for posting!

[@ryobrown-mcclain805]

Thank August, you are so inspiring you have no idea how much kindness you spread(. Helping others is the most satisfying and empowering feelings I've felt, nothing better than dropping that free load of firewood off to a nieghboor eh? We all need to help each other, cogs of the gears working together as Buckin says! This message is one of the most powerful pillars in your channel (long time follower here). You are such a good father teaching your kids how to be little soldiers of kindness!

[@lorriedmussett4692]

August....I'm just a regular ol lady from Texas and I know there are TONS of talented ppl out there on this big world of ours....BUT DAMN YOUR SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH! YOU LITERALLY PUT A TREE DOWN WHEREEVER YOU WANT IT! #MonkeyBeaverCompensation works everytime!!!!

[@brucelund5788]

No time like the PRESENT🤔 God Bless and good message from a father to his family! Happy Father's Day Brother

[@jeffdutton2500]

I started similar impact service for me at church. I truly enjoy cutting and processing firewood. So I decided to choose someone at church to provide firewood to. I burn and sell (some). But I went the opposite direction as y’all have chosen, I looked for young couples with children to serve. I remember when my wife and I started and how money and time was hard to come by. So wanting to help in my thinking is to take seasoned firewood to them as knowing they use wood to heat their home and let them feel the given relief I get for attending church. Hope it makes them and their children see God’s grace in receiving is part of the faith!

[@jeffharvey6768]

Great job August.

[@boomupengineering]

Nice point about going to church. I know many are not what they were when I grew up in rural Montana. But I could help make a difference by making a point to engage with those I may not know. Go beyond shaking hands and saying hello. I've bounced around often because of work. So now it is time to get myself and my family more a part of a community.

[@michaelnewman-ds3fr]

Thanks August great stuff love you man keep up the good work!

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. Edpecially the masterful felling of the heavy leaner at 6:00 mark. A thing of beauty. You did good, August. 🙌👍 The idea of giving to others, whether it be a message or baked goods or helicopter/bible pics, is a much needed program ALL should be on. I was going to define the people I thought should/could/would follow such program but decided not to narrow the audience down.....ALL should be concerned with true life and profess/give to ALL. Thanks for the wonderful message.

[@brandon-rustystreecare]

Great message always try to pay it forward.

[@jesseshort8]

Awesome video, couldn't agree more with the title but I really want to thank you for the talk at the end. I needed that more than you'll ever know.🙏🏻

[@shawnablake5102]

Thank you for sharing!

[@deanhayes3507]

Good job with the video. As I watched i felt that you are hard on yourself and refuse to take any credit for bringing the idea to light.You have a good,brave,kind heart and it shows. You are doing the lord’s work.

[@jessel8833]

These thoughts of gifts, or random acts of love, or kindness pop into my mind often. My life is not easy, but I work hard, and life is very good. Full of challenges, but I am truly blessed. I constantly want to share my talents, or time, or other deeds with others I know will get some light & love in their life. Isn't that what it's all about?! It is often much easier to share gifts with others, when we ourselves are in a good place. However, we can let the moment(s) pass by (as August shares) -- So, it is important to see things through; when we can. It is one of the greatest satisfactions there is. To share a gift (no matter what it is -- thought, deed, action) with others. Thanks for sharing brother. Hopefully we can continue to ripple your message throughout the "pond."

[@shanepoindexter2644]

Love your thoughts. Just know, in God's plan there is nothing random!

That being said it's your business you run it how you like

NICE talk and act on it ! Great Ethics that you have in work and life !!!

[@willtricks9432]

Years of observation and judgement allows you to see each tree as individuals and treat them as such, same as people. If they need watering, fetch a bucket of water I live in an intentional community of 24 varied house holds so every day is an opportunity to help or humor or just say hello and most days that is enough. Cheers.

[@stokermeister3]

Great work August 🥳 I knew a nice duch lady who had suffered from the rein of the nazi regime and I had noticed that she had numbered ink on her hand and I realised she had survived the horrific events that she had been through 😨🤕 she has long since passed away from cancer

[@travishansen5111]

I appreciate your comments near the end of your video. Thank you! I hope you had a good father's day yesterday!

[@erlendgreulichfrontierbigw218]

I have a simple rule-where ever I go I will attempt to leave it a “better place” through a “love or care service”. Not to be misunderstood- that my contribution is “better or superior “ You called it serving or bringing not just taking. My son then ask me: how would he “know”…what and how, especially in a place he did not like or feel comfortable at…a deeper topic for sure. Thank you as always!!!

[@darinhill9760]

Love the msg at the end. Keep up this please. I follow a dirt construction guy called Tristar diggn and he does the same. God Bless your family

[@troyerthedestroyer]

It's crazy the amount of synchronicities there are in a world that gives off an illusion of chaos. It's these moments when we are gently reminded that there is something more than what we see in our tiny existence that brings me hope. It's a beautiful thing when you choose to be a part of this unseen magic by doing what you can to help others. You may not know it and they may not even be fully aware of it but this s just one way that God is connecting with us and revealing Himself through the veil of dimensions, kinda like how a madrona will hang on when you need it to even when it defies everything you know about madrona. Did a sizzwheel on a big madrona top yesterday and it surprised the shit out of me to the point where I was afraid it might barber chair and snipped it after a nice swing right into the drop zone. What do you know, August is posting a swinging madrona. Synchronicities brother, we are on the right path. Hope that guy is blessed by the firewood.

[@red---paulvanravenswaay2247]

TRUE authority builds other people up because it is doing its utmost to be the servant of all!! (The dictionary definition of authority falls short😮) Now it's up to others to choose to (or not) line up under that authority, receive the info & influence, and get the blessing !!!😊😊😊 FALSE Authority is a top-down autocratic oppressor that declares itself to be the authority, but doesn't give two rats tails about the welfare of anybody under its influence. You're welcome.

[@wingmantan]

That’s a great message!

[@lorriedmussett4692]

....ok look...this is exactly what I think everyone sees already....August ....your inner self is on display all the time. You could have given examples of ways to give instead of take with big "things" or big projects or presentations...but instead you spoke of everyday ACTS OF KINDNESS that LITERALLY ALL OF US CAN DO...things like cooking for a family , writing down honest feelings to someone who needs & appreciates kind words....then the seize the moments b4 that moment passes you up. It's like the everyday " average Joe" Who activily puts others first even in the most simple ways. You and I are no where near each other, but your a favorite person in my world, nonetheless. #PayItForward.

It’s a strange thing that men can get gut feelings that reaches into the soul and spirit. We have lost that deep connection by complicating our thoughts with distracting devices. I consider that inner voice and measure it, carefully comparing and weighing judgements.

Are Madrone and Manzanita the same family?

[@AugustHunicke]

Perhaps but if so they are vastly different sizes.

[@jasonmichaeljimenez]

I am no authority but they are different families. Madrone is always a tree, Manzanita always a shrub. They look similar but have way different roles and characteristics when you get all botanical about it. Common question though.
