Happy thanksgiving to all the monkey beavers!

[@petehendry4756]

I remember years ago when you taught me to cut into the trunk at the brach collar to ease a limb over without it breaking off . Thanks .

[@AugustHunicke]

Are you a marine?

[@petehendry4756]

@AugustHunicke no i am not .

[@AugustHunicke]

I remember a certain Marine years ago that I taught in person. His name was Pete.

[@stevebrough304]

I love your daughter's brute honesty that you and your wife have instilled into her. Have a great Thanksgiving August, family, and crew.

[@rickstafford5316]

Timing is a great thing. Nice work

[@danmcburney3247]

That was a surprise and a treat to get a new August video right before Thanksgiving ❤ How many time's should I show you cut an peel ? I read all the comment's on every video so I know I speak for most of us.... I/we can't get enough of your video's so whatever you show we will be very happy to watch !!!!! I/we wish ALL of you a Very Happy Thanksgiving Mr August, Family and crew family....... Love you all ❤❤❤

[@stevesrt8]

i knicked a sling the other day. boss wasnt happy but looks like it happens to the best of us

[@jackberdine]

If your boss gets mad when you make small mistakes like that I'd consider looking for a new boss. Shit happens in tree work. You don't want to unexpectedly lose your job one day over a very human mistake.

[@dgoodman1484]

Had to cut my climb line last week while I was weighting it. Sharp knife but wow it took nothing at all to cut it clean. One of several surprised learning experiences that day! 😳👍🏼

[@Duraturd]

I love the speed line kit even to just negative rig , less knots = fast as f

[@ryobrown-mcclain805]

Thanks for the wonderful Thanksgiving content, we are forever greatful for everything you teach and share with us August, love the tips and tricks. I'd say the damaged line could be trusted(hard to see how damaged in video) only to finish the job...

[@willisfranks2476]

On the saddle, top patch is 82nd airborne division. Nice looking saddle. Keep up the great vids. Thank You...

[@justinrutan1795]

True

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. Just what I needed. Good timing. I have a 90' Hemlock to do. It sets right next to a house. I'm thinking I'll have just enough room to speed line most of the limbs. A couple that are long and low will have to be lowered slowly with a tag line attached to pull away from the roof. Thanks for the excellent demonstration.

[@spearhunter6559]

Opposing "A's" in the saddles upper patch abbreviates "All American", tag line for the 82nd Airborne division at Fort Bragg (aka Liberty) North Carolina. Thousands and thousands of current and former members should be honored to be thought of in the commission of such a handsome saddle! Sold vid August

[@Zebracat5]

Yea August do another one. What I like is you never use damaged Equipment, even when you think it might work OK. August love that 540i ,and I don't even own that Saw,but here comes the King 200t to get ur done.

[@brianfloyd8033]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

[@robertmeier9620]

You made the right call on the cut rope. That 200T is a beast.

[@MikeBrooks12550]

Hey August! Happy Thanksgiving to you and all the Monkey Beaver Crew! Nice work, too bad about the speedline, shtuff happens. Nice Smooth operation as always, even with that little setback.

[@madamecampsalot6384]

A true testament of your knowledge and skill. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@mitchjones2821]

Like you. We operate on “what if?” When it comes to extra precautions. If the what if I don’ts outweigh the what if I do’s then-you do

[@minilathe5271]

"okay, nevermind then". ROFL - been there and had the teenager call me out too !

[@albertabackroad236]

Great stuff brother! Always entertaining 👊

[@carolgadles7045]

You never cease to amaze me !! Great job and camera work A +. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you 🦃

[@robinelston5966]

I snagged a rigging rope last week, just barely, raised a little bump and fuzz on the mantle. Bought a new one for critical tasks like leaners over houses and power lines, taking no chances... well to rephrase, minimizing risks. I like those ropes perfect. You nearly killed youtubers with the snag pulled out of the tree!🤣 Blessings, happy Thanksgiving!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Awesome! HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!

[@markdederick1953]

Have great holidays and thanks for mentioning us past and present service guys..

[@peelnation]

loving my MB2.0

[@danmcburney3247]

I've had mine for more than a year and every time I put it on or take it off I'm Thankful for August and Joe !!!! My last one was from the nineties.... Monkey Beaver Saddle is AWESOME ❤❤

[@nicklambing9268]

Melt cut the rope. Remove the Damaged sheath section. Now you have two good ropes that meet OSHA requirements. Shorter, but can be used for any normal use. Using proper knot technique, tie it together and very little length is lost. Still good to pull trees, etc. Might be short for normal usage usless you don't mind the inconvenience of passing knots. With the damaged sheath, the rope should be taken out of service unless you don't have personal concern for significant liability.

[@jamesnelson6848]

I thought the battery saw sounded weak at the beginning. Probably cold temps are a factor and batteries do taper off wirh usage over time.

[@matthewpolo227]

WATCHED SEVERAL VIDS--MOSTLY YOURS-- ON SPEEDLINE,,LOVE THE TECHNIQUE ,HATE I HAVEN'T TRIED YET.

[@mallrdgrn6058]

I really like how you just get it over with and go to the top for your tie in and setting your speed line. Yes you are going up the tree twice but having that tie at the top is nice. There is no tieing in over and over again as you work your way to the top. Me personally, I prefer to have a tie in. I don't like working just off my lanyards.

[@mvblitzyo]

Yes and no depends on severity 😊

[@GRTRanchadventures]

So the point of this video is probably to point out that the outside of the rope is not the load bearing part, or that the ropes have a safety factor built in to their load rating... But all I can think is how much more satisfying it is to hear that 200t growl!!!

[@terryfuller8724]

That looks like one Damian would have ROCKED, PAPER,SCISSORED for to climb. That rope is a good candidate to see what a chipper does to a rope now.

[@noahsommers2153]

How do you like the notch swinger? Have had problems with it locking/unlocking on its own?

[@troyerthedestroyer]

I call that move the Pittsburgh Peeler. Slap some flex tape on that rope 🤣

[@kingslew1866]

Ditto!

[@fabianibarra6928]

Rope is plenty strong with each fiber but for me I would replace just for the peace of mind one less thing to worry about when working

[@ddalton692]

👍 Cool looking harness 😎 Attitude of gratitude to all the veterans 🇺🇲⭐⭐ Thanks for sharing the video. Amazing how strong the core of rope is. Happy Thanksgiving to this wonderful community ❤️

[@j.seanmeyers674]

Love the JJ 200T! My 200T doesn't maintain chain tension. Replaced tensioner, clutch cover, and bar/chain. I always tension it with tip up pressure (like all saws I have). Any rec's? Thx...

[@nate-408]

Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and your crew.

[@mrob1128]

Definitely stealing the micro pulley pull down trick!!!!! Genius

[@gregstewart7442]

So if you did not own a supply company how much would that set you back? Can you splice it back together?

[@DiamondTreeCompanyFortCollins]

I guess an upside to having the damaged line ,is that if it accidentally spools up in the chipper it won't rip your top out...

[@roddenmcgowan]

I am so, so glad that I am not the only one to have "nicked" the speed/zip line {EDELWEISS SPELEO 11MM}.

[@nigelmemery9011]

Love ur videos . Been on you since you started . But never do battery power saws . Love your work august Your a teacher . ✝️👍🙏💪

[@peteaplin8324]

now, would you do that with your climbing line?

[@Jcozz]

Love breaking stuff out!

[@war5724]

On the way up, dis you advance by throwing your climb line? Or just by using the lanyard? Thank you. 😊

[@AugustHunicke]

Both

[@dcvariousvids8082]

I view ropes like securing a load. If it’s someone else’s rope or if the load is being driven by them, it’s their judgement that counts. On the other hand, if my life/health/money is at risk, I’ll give an opinion.

[@br-dj2ti]

God bless August Happy Thanksgiving

[@chichitex1252]

That WAS awesome!!❤❤❤

[@TheLaughingMan_]

August, what cameras do you use for production?

[@AugustHunicke]

GoPro

[@jakubhostinsky4482]

You almost went wireless :-D My rigging line was also damaged on last job, I had to shorten it. Instead of 80 m now it is only 47 m.

[@sallowknight1396]

I see you're still using the Notch Swinger Tool Carrier. Did you end up figuring out what had caused it to continue to orient itself incorrectly during saw manipulation? Also, still looking forward to getting the call to come out and climb a 200' tree.

[@AugustHunicke]

It works well with a carabiner but thin saw hooks, like the one on the back of the 540, mess it up.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Never trust a damaged line.

[@richardbadish6990]

Stfu! That line wasn't seeing any shock load at all, if it were to break, the limbs already in a safe zone. That ropes only to guide the limbs down. The limb would already have been directed in the right direction, by time it could break! Had it been in a high risk area, number one. He wouldn't use a speedline, num 2, he wouldnt have chanced dropping one limb on that rope! Don't get your panties in a bunch over nothing now!

[@leonportelance9613]

Red Green fixes those sort of things .....'duct tape!'

[@schnittgut6082]

Comment in German. Great 👍 Thank you for this viedeo.

[@brianfloyd8033]

Thats coming out of ur paycheck! Lol 😅😅

[@Buggy13061985]

Hi, i like your Videos very much, i am from Germany and its the first time, that your cool voice has been translated automatic. Please, if you can let the original sound, its mu h much better and my english is good enought to understand everything 👍😊 i really dont like the german translation 😬👎

[@cynthiabeckenbaugh5189]

I was helping, my son, on a tree job. At one point, he said. "I don't good, I told him trust yourself. I was on his way, out of the tree, about ten feet from the ground, his rope broke. He landed safely, it was a fifty foot rope. Trust your gut, your instinct.

You musta forgot that chimney job Blair did….wasnt that incredible..

[@Vic-wi2qx]

Should have kept going. 😂

[@LongsQuest]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@michaelboyle4553]

Thank you

[@Murrabung]

Keep sending them down while you can and it’s still safe to do so. And then change it out. Good product testing opportunity if you ask me 😅😅😅

[@stusue9733]

Why not straight at the chipper? Oh, I see :)

[@matthewpolo227]

WHAT IS D-MAN USIN TO MAINTAIN TENSION ?

[@AugustHunicke]

Prototype speedline anchor

[@matthewpolo227]

@AugustHunicke HAHA PROTOTYPE ..SO YOU CAN'T SHOW US YET. MOSTLY YOUR VIDS I WATCH ON SPEEDLINE NOT SURE WHY A LINE WAS INSERTED THRU (MOSTLY YOURS) UPON SENDING..HEY THANKS FOR REPLY-

[@AugustHunicke]

@ I showed the prototype already in a recent previous video. I don’t remember which one.

[@ryantapio7047]

Is there any way to ease the limb down and cut it off without endangering the rigging line? I’m not quick enough yet. You’re just trying to flex. 💪 😂 19:53

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

Just finish the cut with a silky.

[@ryantapio7047]

Oh right. 😂 simple. Thank you brother! 😎

Does it give you an option to hear my voice as spoken german?

I did nothing different to the settings. Maybe KZbin is doing it of their own volition based on the origin of the viewer.
