[@noonehere1793]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about tree work, i am too old to take advantage of it (although i have learned a lot!) but i am confident you are inspiring a whole group of young people to learn how to do things properly and also work hard as there are no free rides in life and those fancy degrees in genders study are, in reality worthless.!👍👍

[@jonschenk9438]

Great video August and love how you and your crew make it look so enjoyable. Wish you guys were further north (Dundee, OR)! I gladly made a donation to Kareah to show her there are a lot of good people out here. Glad you made us aware of the situation.

August, you’re a humble and awesome gentleman. I hope this sweet girl doesn’t let one bad person affect her negatively because there really is a lot of good in the world. I wish I could give her a lot more. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Your a great soul August!! Sent 10 for the little girl; your daughters friend! Hope she gets back way more than she ever thought of having in that piggy bank!!! Great video too by the way😁 go fund me link would not work for me; I know you'll make sure she gets it

[@krisguttu1673]

You guys are rad been watching for many years and still dig it and even take new techniques and ideas as a professional tree guy myself

[@jaxturner7288]

We should never really expect to stop learning new things in this business, at least not until you learn you have enough money to retire from it, lol. Just gotta hope that happens before you learn your body can’t take it anymore and you don’t have enough money to retire yet. Not lol. But still it would probably take a lifetime worth of videos before this man would run out of things to teach you about tree stuff. Especially since he’s continuously learning himself while he’s already at the very tip top of the industry and doing some of the most complex and highest risk/dollar jobs to be found, while also surround by and in contact with the most dedicated and experienced tree guys from all around the globe. Being plugged in to the tree life globally like that while also designing and manufacturing climbing equipment that raises the bar to a new level of safety, comfort and durability for the climbing industry pretty much makes him like the walking talking encyclopedia for tree work. That also constantly does it’s own research and testing across the globe getting auto updates from its army of like minded people testing out his methods and equipment in every situation and environment imaginable while updating itself towards perfection as it gathers data and feedback. I think it’s safe to say this man has already improved the industry’s overall level of skill, safety and efficiency while expanding its knowledge base further than any person has ever done throughout the entire history of modern tree service. Definitely a Christian soldier that will march on and he will certainly go down in history with his wiki page declaring him as the most important and influential mentor the arborist industry ever had. 👊

Great Saturday morning start off from my favorite tree climbers. You guys make it so enjoyable with your camaraderie and info. Love it!

[@kingslew1866]

Glad to see you,re getting back at it August! Dirt bags that steal from their fellows don't have feelings toward their victims. That's typical of predators regardless of species. Human predators are the same. Even though it is said that the Master said to forgive, it's difficult to regard them as anything more than scum. At least when they are in that incarnation. I hope that she can improve her security. They may come back. It wouldn't surprise me at all if she knew them and they her.' I had an kind elderly neighbor robbed by the young men that she had hired to help her. That's the way scum repays kindness. This state keeps getting worse. It didn't used to be like that...

Ok, August. This was My favorite Saturday morning video of all time, you are the man! I look forward to your Saturday "cartoon videos" todays reminded me of Mr. Peabody and Sherman. The music clips had chills dunning down my back and it was perfect. You are here by given an Honorary Peabody award and I love ''what's up dock'.'' You make it feel like we are with you in the tree. I started writing this before the end of the video and the horrible story about your friend. I am so sorry to hear that. I am retired and living on a measly SS check I feel so sad that I can not help. I will send a prayer her way. I starting watching a fun video and now sit with tears of sadness.

That redirect to prevent introducing slack is super important, turns out if don’t use that and your horizontally away from the zip anchor it will cause the piece to swing that far to the opposite side during fall, ask me how I know! Also recently we went to a job planning to zip the brush but obstacles prevented that, we were able to maintain production bundling limbs with the zip kit so that each conventional rig had 6-8 limbs and got the job done fast. ❤

You'll be getting an order for a blue, likely medium, in a few weeks. Your quality and craftsmanship are top notch! the Monkey Beaver 2.0 is the Cadillac of work harnesses, if anyone is thinking about buying one at all, you've already overthought it. If you haul heavy kit up with you, you need this. If you spend ages waiting on ground crew, you need this. If your a member of the Half Past Dead Club, and find yourself willing to trade weight for comfort on angry old injuries, you should have your order placed yesterday. I cannot say enough good things often enough about this company, about my harness. From the bottom of my hillbilly heart, thank you Monkey Beaver crew.

Hey August, Another great video! How long in real time does a tree like this take your crew? Can you speed-line effectively with 3 strand rope? It's all I have for rigging currently. It seems best with smoother rope. The detailed explanations you have in this video are great! I like that you revisit the teachable moments for speed-lining every so often, because you always seem to show a little more or explain a little further.
