I know its 4 years later but thats how long its been in my favorites list, this video is awesome! I still watch it over and over. God bless you and your family August and Merry Christmas!

[@brianpiercy6702]

OVER AND ABOVE BADASS! August and team: That was so far away the best edited and played rigging video I've seen in a long time! Watching the Humboldt slap, the slow motion, the care in which every camera was set, the in-your- face exact rig tie points... the drone footage, the transition from ballet music to uni-bomber music... Dudes:... THANK YOU! If there was a way to donate and help pay it forward for all that you've given me, I would. Request a Pay Pal or Donate Button please.

[@bigdog565yt]

Your videos are incredible. You are a great artistic videographer as well as a highly professional tree man.

[@lumberjaketreeservicellc4002]

Felt like I just watched the most badass previews for up and coming tree movie. Soo intense. Love your style

[@juppheinkes5611]

Big tree, difficult situation, ingenious work, nerves of steel, incredible camera postions, brilliant pictures ... in one word: marvelous!

[@cannonball9478]

Keep being inspired to evolve to deal with bigger dismantles with this sort of skill/ease. A massive reason is these videos. Thanks August and team...and Reg.

[@danerwinde7717]

Solid music choice; not sure if I should have tears of sadness or joy. Kinda feel like I’m watching the titanic of tree climbing.

[@danerwinde7717]

AND I LOVE IT!

[@AugustHunicke]

Daner winde hahaha

[@adamcoleman4001]

Another awesome job August and tha boys! You guys are elite arborists, always a treat and informative to watch.

[@treebuzzard5796]

That shock load was incredible for you August, that was some weight going over the edge & the REG handled it well, your the rigging masters.

[@bykrmom]

WoW that video work was awesome. Love watching a man who knows what he's doing. This is an epic video, August!

[@danielbirkholz4059]

You’ve really outdone yourself on this one, August. Unreal. You are truly an inspiration to me everyday

[@KennysTreeRemoval]

Watching this for the second time August, and I already know I'll need to watch it a few more times. Amazing editing skills, not to mention bad ass work. Wish I could spend a few days working with you guys.

[@stevemorris122]

I love these videos, and have learned so many new techniques through them. Keep the great content coming August. Maybe a Hunicke /Coates collaboration soon eh!? 😉

[@toolstimber5953]

Your film with this music brings good memories from the film Titanic to my mind. Beatiful.

[@alabalanutnbolt]

That shot of the drone above the trunk just made my day for some reason. Just outstanding video work, not to mention the tree work .awesome job again

[@StihlChainsaws]

This has to be one of the best tree videos I have ever seen. I have watched it 10x & still want to watch it again😂👍 Wish that Joe would of explained the rope layout on the ground. So many little details, & I feel like I see something new everytime i watch it. Guess I'll just watch it 10 more times, & try to figure it out myself STAY SAFE

[@NHlocal]

Very nicely done August. And I'll say it again, you've got a really good crew. Be safe. Randy

[@reonrounds7404]

Wow!!😃 everything about that video seemed perfect!! Watching it the fourth time was just as suspenseful as the first!!! Epic to say the least! Not only was your video editing creative (maestro) also hats off to the guys on the ground running the ropes the Vermeer and the drone controls!! Awesome job guys wish I could’ve been a part of that production...wait a second did u make this commercial for the super bowl! 😁

[@AugustHunicke]

+Reon Rounds ha yeah, superbowl

[@nico_albrecht]

Awesome art of treework right here! "My cousin is landscaper too" August rolls his eyes and say: "Yeahh" ;D

[@kcsanson4216]

Yea he's referencing a line from Bad treess.... the difficulty of explaining what we do to people who dont know or do it lol ... landscapers

[@stephanboning4654]

That is the stetting before you order the crane, brilliant August ! thank you

[@mobile-1lawnservicellc875]

[@deanon021]

You are some man to make a video and even better at rigging trees. This is excellent work all round thanks for making it.

[@corygriffiths6823]

[@James.......]

Those were some dramatic head turns!

[@erlendgreulichfrontierbigw218]

You transcend your craft! Thank you for taking the time to share!

[@DanDeVoto]

Wouldn't think a chainsaw and soothing music would go together, you made it happen, great video August!

[@TheExtremeFist]

Still my one of my favorite videos. It’s like metal core but with trees.

[@BaumpflegeMertens]

Bad ass Video my Friend! Impressive!

[@jakebuck1135]

This is such a great video!! Is there anyway that you could break down the set up? What the ropes look like at the bottom and how tour were running them. An in depth break down of what was going on would be phenomenal. Always great content!!!

[@rayclark9643]

Just when I thought that your videos couldn't get any better!

[@chamness964]

THAT WAS AWESOME AUGUST!! Sorry not yelling just excited. You do great videos and work!!! That rigging was on fleek!!!! 👊💪

[@markkulepisto1159]

Holy crap. That thick trunk piece. Man.. I haven’t blocked anything near that size

[@Jjosephda]

Awesome video. Love the editing. I can tell you put allot of thought into that video. Good stuff August and the boys. Keep up the good work.

[@cnshroom]

One of your best so far. Awesome work guys.

[@corychase4011]

August's orchestra! 🤘even with the soothing music, you guys are rockin! Love the background imaging

[@jimmoshier6817]

Great video August, always enjoy the creative filming. God bless, stay safe out there!

[@coilstreeservice9398]

4:30 it's like the tree's dancing because it's so happy it's coming down! "Oh I've been standing here so tall for so long just waiting for a break,THANK YOU tree man!" Hahaha

[@enveetree7916]

That damn beautiful music! Encourages me to go climb a tree on Sunday

[@metaspencer]

[@lumberjaketreeservicellc4002]

Really thought Reg was gonna join the a team! Bummer

[@scatoutdebutter]

yeah, I thought at the mention of Reg, August and Team were going to take that as a challenge and *really* put it into high gear! :) ....(which I guess they did with that heavy duty rigging equipment, right?).

[@finneganskylar9549]

i know Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online ?

[@franklinjaziel103]

@Finnegan Skylar i watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@jamisonkhalil6752]

@Franklin Jaziel yea, I have been using FlixZone for months myself :D

[@finneganskylar9549]

@Franklin Jaziel Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it !

[@Akanat0r]

Hello. Im anthony. I just turned 22. And started the tree industry career 7 months ago. I already started climbing. Imma be in petzl magazine one day

[@rollofnickles]

My oldest brother passed away this year. He built and operated Applegate golf course in Grants Pass Oregon. I think he would've liked you Monkey Bevers.

[@lucfournier3939]

You made m'y day thanks.imagine this w/o the vermeer 😥

[@syrnik11]

[@scatoutdebutter]

[@Cascou012]

[@zacharynastasiuk2154]

Glad to see the 2nd part of this job. Awesome work

[@HTCvideos]

That’s some badass rigging sir

[@danielflaherty92]

Awesome August. And thanks for leading me to the Saw King.

[@toyotatherapy9685]

That was awesome man! Very cool take down, very cool editing!

[@RedHeadForester]

Nice video. I've been using one of those double bollard friction devices for a while groundying for someone but have never seen it used to do anything which couldn't be done by something smaller. There's a lot of kit and knowledge I don't yet have going on here!

[@ロープ伐採の孫悟空]

Its really great work and cool video !

[@Thetreefella]

Awsome work,and video guys.

[@jean-christophe-ribier]

houaou! big rigging for sure. it's the double made by reg coaste. good video , thanks for my eyes.

[@johnhamilton7495]

like you show the actual way to rig with your rings !! I am old school somewhat!

[@toddjacks8288]

Good evening guys hope y'all have a blessed Thanksgiving

[@tealjacks9125]

Have to agree with some of the comments below ... that was a good video ..Some great kit on the market these days ...Oh and one last thing jeeez your beard grows quick in your neck of the woods .

[@Tsjoni]

And he took off his helmet to show his respect to the master(s)... Incredible action!

[@itzOLE3]

August you crazy man! Haha! That was some awesome work.

[@cerberusbonsaiarboricultur774]

LOL that grin @2:27 is great, dude you rocked that tree this is one of my favorite videos of yours (have watched dozens) Never thought consciously about it but upon seeing that I suspect I do the same (suspect many do!) when doing something awesome, that thing was huge you just swung that sucker like it was nothing!! On to that though: ****WHAT CORDAGE ARE YOU LOWERING THOSE WITH??**** Is it 3/4" Polydyne? Guessing based on color&the Yale spool (and what you're doing with it, as Polydyne seems one of the strongest double-braids out there..) but would LOVE to know, am going to crawl the 200 comments to see if it's come up already but figured to ask because I've got my Safebloc (no sling made yet) and my 3-ringed, 3/4" sling but I still haven't chosen what line I'm going to use with them and 5/8", or 3/4", Polydyne was right at the top of my list so if that's what you used here I'd be 100% sold on it (their Blue Moon will forever be my go-to climb line, am rarely as impressed with a product as with Blue Moon's performance, and Re Polydyne the #'s are insane off the charts their 5/8" is as strong as most others' 3/4"'s!!) Thanks for the vid, as always :D

[@AugustHunicke]

Yeah 3/4 polydyne if I remember right. Lotta stretch. 🤔

[@allenhuling598]

Well done, August...and crew!!!

[@1450rowland]

You guys out did yourselves! Amazing!

[@troytreeguy]

I think you just one upped yourself 👍👊🏼 fantastic work fellas

[@snoozinglion8596]

Cool stuff August, thanks for sharing!

[@jackberdine]

Great video boss I’d love to work with this guy

[@rubenramirez8409]

Great job August! And the team too! Where ca we get one of the stein RCW 3002? Because we already check with the three major retailers that we know and nothing.

[@AugustHunicke]

Ruben Ramirez available for delivery in the USA in April 2018 www.steinproducts.com/

[@jonathansuermann7210]

That is some amazing footage right there.

[@revgraves1]

God bless you and all you do!🧡🌲

[@alexmondz3103]

I do love a good Hollywood edit.

[@jamiedavies6445]

Awesome video!!!

[@fobo79]

Really cool August!! is the talk you take on the tree because it should not be so sticky?

[@AugustHunicke]

+Fredrik Lindell not chalk, but ya, keep the sticky off the ropes.

[@SebKrause661]

Does the "When you need it stopped" video still exist? I remember the big wood being snatched out in a short action packed video, can't seem to find it anymore.

[@boyse69]

Nice Nod to RC August your a * . Can I just add I love to see Rigging kind of a lost Art for many these days I think that rigging tool was developed over ten years ago now , great to see it being used and made a feature of in this Video

[@AugustHunicke]

+boyse69 yep, 10 years to get it from paper to catalogue. Available finally for preorder with shipping in April.

[@boyse69]

You and your team did a great demo with it !

[@travispovey6225]

Cool video!!! What’s the powder you use on the cut limbs and why?

[@twostrokeandsawdust]

Nice work! When will you come to Australia?

[@Joannesyoga]

Top creative film making and avoidance of squashing rhododendrons. :)

[@hybridarborist5036]

[@quinnsaunders1188]

Iam highly appreciate the videos an your skills and knowledge. I've been working at putting together my rigging for about 5 years as I gain experience in in my skills and experience in rigging! What it the double rings rigging made up of, is it two double ring slings?

[@itzOLE3]

One of my favorites.

[@miguel210satx]

[@hugh381]

Very good work both sides of the lens.

[@traynegrau8248]
