August, I love this video. The arrows tell a great story and your tutorial brings the whole picture into focus, thank you.

[@BaumpflegeMertens]

I like the Forest harnes! When business are going better some day after covid 19 , i'm going to buy one ! Stay save and buissy my friend ! Here in germany we pray for an end of the Pandemie, to keep the Company alive....

[@sonnyblazer5504]

YES "YOU" are 'that good'! The hand of the Lord is on yours for sure! Thanks for sharing. Sonny (CT)

[@davoupnya3202]

I knew you could do it August ! And it was perfect !

[@imflyingwi9284]

It's pretty awesome that you AND your son are going after the pilot's license.

[@andyflannigan6432]

I have and continue to learn from each of your videos! Thanks!

[@backwoodsengineer]

I really can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge on this stuff. It’s really helped me be more confident in my own abilities.

[@johntrainssmith1475]

Great to see your both going to do flying, a great way to convert money to noise for sure, and a great thing to do together, problem will be, you will both want your own plane, 2 RV6a's in the Hunickie Hanger :) hehe, good stuff indeed.

[@justinmcnulty601]

Nice shot, field goal is good! I really liked when Damien hit the wedge unexpectedly and you jumped like the tree was starting to pop.

[@AugustHunicke]

He clipped me in the elbow 😁

[@mattthetreeguy]

@@AugustHunicke ow! I hurt my elbow!

[@josephnewman9175]

Very nice! Perfect Field goal man. No bounce and kick over. That fallers belt is cool. I like bucken Billy ray's axe 🪓 holder better though. Somehow I would cut myself the way your friends axe holders position. Great work and techniqe. Liked how you thanked the lord too! Men of skill certainly still want him to have our back! Joe Newman

[@w34356]

August: "im worried the lawn may get disturbed when this 100' tree falls on it so i'm going to pick what blades of grass it will fall between"

[@w34356]

Much respect for your skills!

[@saliemi1]

Well planned and executed... Loved it..

[@boyse69]

Two very cool things ~Joe lovely work ! August nailed it !

[@silasmarner7586]

Shehoooobis! You GREASED that landing! Doh!!!!

[@michaeljestice4234]

I used the cut a lot fire wood when I was in my late teens. Fell a lot trees in the woods, I also played with leaning trees, even had them go the total wrong way. Didn’t matter because nothing was hurt...was 24 years ago. You had me riveted the whole time!!! Heart rate went up! Then I had to tell myself this is August, Relax!!! Great job 👏 👍👍👍

[@billyshumate853]

Good job August and you too Damian. Take care and have a blessed week.

[@jaxturner7288]

Amazing Hez! Can’t wait to see some flying videos. Only flying advice I remember is to aviate first, navigate second and then communicate. 👍

[@svmystique5381]

Just amazing!! August you have taught me sooooo much! I appreciate your channel, your passion and dedication to your craft.

[@Unsensitive]

KZbin's auto subtitles thinks your chainsaw is *[Music]* It's smarter than we give it credit.

[@lindaarbogast6499]

😂

[@stevepalmer4072]

Great shooting August.

[@canoetipper019]

curling with trees...lol NICE!

[@shawnandbets]

The trees shadow pretty much painted the layout picture on the ground for you. Nicely done. 👍

[@BigDog-wr2jm]

Love it especially when I’m learning that’s what I like about your videos I’ve learned a lot from you and the other guys

[@GCraigmile]

Outstanding job!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Wannabearborist]

7:23 As someone who loves shooting long range I totally understand the “aiming over here 👈 to hit over there 👉”thing😅

[@gregbrown9271]

Reons going to be happy camper 😁

[@jamesyman007]

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!! I laughed out loud at the fall. God Bless.

[@uberuser1999]

I have to admit, I was quietly skeptical on that fall but you nailed it. Nice one!

[@halfpinthockey1250]

Nice shot! I always learn something from you August. I had a tree very similar to this that I could have done like this yesterday. Thank you again for all you do brother.

[@Thetreefella]

Understanding how,and what your doing in this video comes only with experience. Love it guys.🌳💚🌳🌳💚👍👊

[@mvblitzyo]

the tree full of mistletoe in the way background was a little distracting LOL ..

[@levigranger5383]

How did I miss this video? First time seeing the falling setup. Love that axe holder.

[@bradbaker5726]

Gets the blood flowing great work👏

[@bestseal13]

Never doubted it for a second! You still could have done it if it was leaning towards the house haha. You are a legend!!!

[@EricLane3D]

6:37 looks like Damien gave you a good startle! bad timing for that whack on the wedge.

[@bigmike4737]

I've never felled trees in a high stress environment. The most stress I encounter is trying to keep the tree from hanging up in the tops of nearby trees. I only cut in the woods. Flying is fun..as long as your pilot isn't a maniac lol.

[@mvblitzyo]

rt at 7 min, I'm totally feeling the nail bitting ! just watching ..

[@joshpomponio2993]

Nice shot love it when guys know what to do an do it flawless ✊👊

[@carlwhite8225]

That was Way cool, crazy Skills yall have, thanks.

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Good.😆 shooting parker!!!! Thanks my lady 😂😂😆👌👌👌👍👍😆.💪

[@dm1927]

Experience counts men, great job 👍

[@panhouska]

That is some pecision there. Wow!

[@brianfloyd8033]

Nicely done

[@travisshute2747]

Out here like Patrick Mahomes with those no look passes

[@stevesrt8]

Great Video. The suspense was getting me haha

[@stihlnz]

Used this technique ( more thickness on one end of the hinge ) today on a huge 8' across pine down in NZ with a 880 and a long bar. otherwise it would have blocked a road. Still owe you for this hint ... shame I can't post a photo. Keep up the good work August. I'm a fat bastard with a 40" waist ... do you make those harnesses in that size ?

[@timbermen11]

Man I wish my name was Reon Rounds! Falling belt looks awesome guys, keep up the great work👍🏻🇺🇸

[@toddjacks8288]

Awesome video brother

[@pughums]

excellent!

[@markissboi3583]

At bosses farm doing some cleanup work 1990s he asked me can i drop a big old pine tree 🤔 i think i can ive watched dad & others do it . it was on a hill slop , i walked down put an Old bucket where i,m gunna try drop it . 10ms L8tr the boss was dam u hit it :) watching this 1st tree drop i had $10 bucks on the Green Lay shadow winner gee i still calculate ok 👍

[@CorkeryCoop]

Excellent! I have to fall a tree this week that’s doing the same thing. Thanks for the tips!

[@AugustHunicke]

Careful. It’s tricky 🤠

[@CorkeryCoop]

@@AugustHunicke yes it is. And I’ve looked at it more closely, and my tree is in baaaad shape. I need to rethink it.

[@philipjones9297]

We need to see a video on you getting it totally wrong and wrecking something 😂

[@jacquesblaque7728]

Long waits there. Just not in August's DNA.

[@JoeRainis156]

August Nice Shot

[@BG-vq9fd]

Looks like you really enjoy the challenge.

[@danielnavarromolina3964]

Nice video amigo

[@workAkira]

Stunning，great.

[@Sim.Crawford]

Ooh, I'm nice and early... lovely.

[@seanarbor3759]

I know this is the way you want to do it. But wouldn’t it be easier to set it all up with a fat hinge and pull it with your truck. Well that’s how I’d do it 👍😉

[@Elijah.Vallotton]

Glad I stayed up!

[@leonardvirtue5753]

What's up august bro Nice.😆 mate

[@ricks6590]

Dang, you're good!!!

[@larrysmall3521]

Did you miss the rose bush too?

[@andrewmantle7627]

Good shot.

[@julianalderson6996]

Nice shootin, an yer 400 still seems good for that harness.

[@donalddiedrick529]

good shot cool

[@WindowGeek1]

Yay was one big “YEAH!”

[@Gordon_L]

2:34 that angle really shows how much Hez takes after his dad :-) 3:00 What is going on with the tree behind you off your left shoulder , with what looks like balls of foliage throughout the branches ? 7:17 "That's the August I know" You got that right Damien , good on you :-D

[@AugustHunicke]

mistletoe

[@motor2of7]

That property owner needs to get the mistletoe out of that tree in the background before it kills the tree.

[@TheModernArborist]

Wow!

[@lolkeschiphof]

...WOW!

[@maartenmeuwissen8224]

cool cut

[@michaelpcooksey5096]

August have you ever used the triple cut to fall a leaner? Could you demo it?

[@adonwright9884]

The tiger woods of Tree felling

[@yrdGBA]

Good looking belt , what are the benefits of this belt over say a Weaver for the price point .Weaver is 189.00 depending on where you get it from. #IT MORE FUN IF THERE ARE RISKS

[@wayneprest4874]

Amazing ability.

[@alanamos5158]

Cool driving plane. I don't know if you got 1 of the video to long of a comment. You do good work. Good 1st fell, I have a bad shoulder, wear I broke collar bone and dislocated twice so I can't throw a baseball like 50%, so do you have a cheap good idea to throw a bag over limb. I seen G.O.T. with a slingshot contraption. Do you have a better way since my arms bad?

[@AugustHunicke]

[@jasonfeazel3806]

Praise The LORD indeed 🙏

[@marcduclos9789]

Damien is like a caddy you should go with the wedge.

[@scatoutdebutter]

wow. what a shot! The little short video doesn't do it justice at all! :) Great explanations and diagrams. * Question please? ........ where would the tree have landed if you had *not* continue to cut after the tree started to fall? thanks. cool about your 12 year old son flying. all the best.

[@jandejong2430]

I was wondering - why not drop it in the direction it wants to fall. Space enough it seems. Or is it the sport? Worked great though.

[@grilnam9945]

I fear for your back cramped in that pilot seat but I wish you and your son well in your lessons.

[@MarlinMark444]

What kind of axe head is that in the rig?

[@InDisTREETV]

nice shootin August stay safe stay healthy

[@lawnmanmartinfan7909]

Great video content as always but I do have a question. a home owner that's not going to be doing huge trees but there are quite a few evergreens so some of the limbs will be 5,6,7" round at best what would you recommend for a brand of chipper

[@AugustHunicke]

I like Vermeer 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@lawnmanmartinfan7909]

@@AugustHunicke thanks.

[@aj12271]

Would be nice to see wedge placement next time. Nice drop though.

[@jimhubbell8364]

Seems like you are really liking that 500i.

[@AugustHunicke]

I love the thing

[@Tezza66]

Lucky shot 😂

[@treejob7871]

Ever use any "sizwheel" "sizwell" techniques? Good for a swing in the woods, but not accurate enough for residential?

[@AugustHunicke]

Seen it done but I haven’t.

[@robertwieland5958]

Precision

[@getuptheremush2998]

Hope I’m this good one day 😂

颇有大将风度！

[@z.a.fishing9207]

I don’t know if you noticed but the little evergreen balls of ivy in that tree. behind the red barn. they look like they’re floating. what are those? I’ve seen them where I live

[@AugustHunicke]

Mistletoe

[@stephentalbot3256]

Way to do it

"Praise the Lord"

[@jaxturner7288]

👍

[@brianfloyd8033]

Bullseye!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MrTruckerf]

I only like leaners when they are leaning right where I want them to fall.

[@aibotora8]

The game of winning and losing towards the end is interesting. In Japan he is called JYANKEN. Did you win on the right? In Japan it's called "choki scissors"
