Made for This

Video made to inspire my industry colleagues. . .
If anyone wants the lyrics/words to the, "Made for This," poem I wrote I'll be happy to send them to you. -August Hunicke

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

Almost utterly speechless… I found the channel just a few days ago and I've no idea how many video's I've watched back to back. And then I found this… The edits, the passion, the respect, the humanity, the professionalism, the understanding, the patience, the strength and then this… The poet. Who knew that the Monkey Beaver had such deep underlying currents. Thank you August, for sharing.

[@AugustHunicke]

John Smith thanks John

[@JosephPSiepert]

You hit it right on the head with this one August! I'm still climbing at 60, have been since my teens, you explained it all right here!

[@corinhallowell6019]

You are officially the voice of us all August! Awesome!

[@AugustHunicke]

Scares me a little to hear that, but thanks : )

[@gonzalezfamily5856]

I'm addicted to this industry is was born to do this it's in my veins wouldn't change it for the world

[@adamclark9253]

I hear that my dad did it my grandpa and great grandpa. Bunch of uncles and 3 cousins. I can do just about anything but this makes me happy

[@TravorAhern]

You are an artist. This was fantastic. I haven't seen all your videos yet, But I already know this is my favorite one. Thanks for creating this. Climb hard man

[@dazkaz15]

That was awesome!! So many good lines in that poem its hard to pick my favourite. "Your one of a few, through and through, a Doctor and Assassin" "but when I come home, from hard knock schooled my kids hug the smell of exhaust, mixed with cedar" Superb video clip, very well done. I have been a British Arborist for 24 years, and you have inspired me to go to work this morning. Thank you!

[@fullautogunsandgear5141]

The love a Arborist haves is more than a human vein can contain.

[@lovemyanela]

Absolutely Arboristically Articulated! Awesome.

[@tiborforro97]

From now on if everyone asks what I'm doing I will send them this, this is a masterpiece

[@alangregory1806]

I started following a few weeks back and have been working through the older ones. It's a joy to see the skills, teamwork and leadership in your videos but now you've topped it with an excellent poem. Thank you so much.

[@thexmanjdd]

That poem was an amazing piece of work. WOW! Tree work was pretty good too ;-) Editing was awesome. I think your best video to date. A new level.

[@Thetreefella]

Yes...... August....your made for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💜💜💜

[@olivier2553]

That poem is quite a piece! Very strong images. Thanks

[@Dyltek]

YES! This video sums up an ideal modern arborist tough, yet intellectual. Pragmatic and passionate. Hit me right in the Vegas nerve. Thank you!

[@AugustHunicke]

Right on Dylan. Fire up that Vegas.

[@LR-oo1fs]

You the man August! An inspiration to us all!

[@austinsmith3749]

I’ve been following your channel for the last year and going back to the beginning… you have been an inspiration for me. Thank you for continuing to share your tree life with us! If I could give this one two thumbs up I would 👍👍!! Love the poem

[@dannymcelyea2596]

That's as cool as a cucumber in the snow my friend!!! What a masterpiece!

[@norab1001]

Channeling the spirit of Robert W Service with your poem. It'll be a classic. What a great ride this video is!

[@jamesb6087]

Need more than one thumbs up button for this level of unpretentious poetry.

[@protomech2245]

Gave me chills , very awsome!

[@MrAddicat]

August you are awesome I’ve been watching your videos every night for a year straight. I have not only learned new techniques and rigging but also have helped me perfect stuff that I already knew how to do stuff as simple as speed lining. I don’t have the climbing nor rigging gear that you have. But slowly getting there. One tree at a time. I’m made for this too!! You have also helped my wife see what I do. Thanks would love to come climb with you!! I’m trying to get a go-pro but a new rope comes first lol

[@bonniehowell6604]

What a fine surprise, August is a poet!❤️🌈🎶🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@LawrenceSchultz3000]

"monkey beaver" haha, I love it! epic poem! epic footage! epic speed lining over the house! you're not just a Jedi arborist sir, you're an artist!

[@AugustHunicke]

[@jasminthomas3528]

I love this. Your monologue/ poetry is amazing. Only just came across it, I am slowly trying to catch up with your videos. You are a very deep and thought provoking person Mr Hunicke.

[@brandongaston8753]

You are a beast and an artist love this poem and your work!

[@michaeldougfir9807]

August, that is a first rate poem. You covered all the bases well and told a thing or two about yourself. Good job-- and thanks.

[@arbortechtradservicestrang4438]

[@mike8hunter]

Great poets born in the sweat and sawdust of honest work

[@AugustHunicke]

Nice!

[@AJFAMMAN]

Duuuuuude!!!!!!!!! Epic work, from the poem to the editing, but mostly the tree killing. ;-)

[@kyleboman6]

Great work. Awesome video as always.

[@treecareEdm]

Lol Corin, August, Brilliant and thank you for this... It's a keeper for sure...

[@arborist18]

Awesome August Hunicke, It feels great to know there are others out there who feel the passion running through their veins for our line of work :) Keep it up buddy

[@sweetscraps56]

That’s great. I really enjoy your videos. Stay safe👍🏻

[@stevebrough304]

This is what the real August Hunicke is made of. This is great. I don't think your mom would change a single thing about you for all the Clairol® hair color in the world.

[@waynewilkinson2817]

I also would like the words to that poem! you are amazing!

[@rlyman111]

Artistic for sure.

[@matttoensing4505]

Still the best Arborist video ever made!

[@mike99ify]

Still one of the best Arborist videos out. Makes me wonder how many arborists you created with this video. As always much respect August.

[@RAILKING25]

Mike Frizzell I’m one!

[@48wallace]

I haven't seen all of your videos Gus, but so far this is my favorite. Known you for about twenty ears now; a few of those as your ground man. And this is truly you through and through. Great lyrics however this one really resonates: “An inch is as good as a mile.” haha we had a few "clean your underwear" close ones.

[@damianboyce9167]

You...are...awesome!!!

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

I agree with X-man . . . The poem is classic, beautifully written . . . genius! "I'm not alone, not the only one known to love the sound of hinge wood moan . . .". This video is entertaining from start to finish . . . truly legendary!

[@AugustHunicke]

Thanks Darris

[@nathanmarbvleslabps]

Wow this made me feel good! Thankyou

[@clintheser6314]

Love the lyrics and video!!! Your videos are truly a highlight around my camp!

[@AugustHunicke]

Thank you.

[@Everyday_Richard]

Amazing poem!!!

[@crewstreeservice]

I will agree with bixler will be one of the best tree videos of all times.. love it august.. awesome poem!!!!!

[@AugustHunicke]

Thank you. I hope it inspires better stuff than mine, then it will have truly achieved it's purpose.

[@crewstreeservice]

It will be very hard to beat!!

[@daudbarry]

like your style, physics is the law, and I still can't believe I get paid for this. Stay alive, hug your kids when you get home, get paid and keep on cutting!

[@merlenelson4894]

Amazing in every way August!!! GoPro should definitely be showing you some love now for all the ways you showed other tree guys how to destroy cameras. Epic is the right word.

[@AugustHunicke]

LOVE the reasoning. Yeah, I could be a reason for a bunch of broken cameras.

[@TGCIII]

That about sums it up I think. Good stuff!!!

[@CPUScience]

Dang August... That was GREAT! You're an artist and an arborist!

[@AugustHunicke]

Thanks, new word, Artorist.

[@treechildu.s.a1953]

[@ZachsTreeService]

EPIC AS ALWAYS MAN!!! on a side note. Ever seen a oak tree struck by lighting that Blew all the bark off the trunk uptoo 75ft away, Split the trunk down the middle and made the top fall out of the tree? That happened here a few days ago. im in the process of cleaning up the trunk now lol.

[@AugustHunicke]

I've seen some pretty destructive strikes. Made me glad I wasn't at ground zero when it thundered in.

[@kddavis1]

Man...That was phenomenal!!! I gotta find time to come down and work for you for a week.

[@AugustHunicke]

Thanks Kyle

[@stephenneeson5194]

Nice Mr. Hunicke

[@jamesvivian1888]

That was awesome, thanks for making such a great vid. I was made for this. Dude make the shirt I'll buy one

[@chadwestover2311]

Very entertaining to watch. I do not do this kind of work so I appriciate your showing so many camera angles and enough of the ropes to give me an idea of how it is all accomplished. Looks more like fun than work.

[@AugustHunicke]

Thanks Chad. I edit out stuff that doesn't look fun.

[@chadwestover2311]

So Gus is not really a super hero? It's just a movie.
