    August and Damian did a beautiful job on my Crepe Myrtle! The oak tree in the backyard only needed some dead branches and stragglers out. They did a fantastic job caring for my flowers and do dads!👏👏😊

      Debra you were lucky to have one of the very best in the country working on your trees. As a retired climber I have nothing to say but good things about August. 👍

    Love your poor man grapple We used that quite a bit when I worked at Knott's Berry Farm. We had lots of annual flower beds and orders to raise trees in them, as you show in your video you can get a lot done quickly with no damage. Nice work!

    Speedy and fluid little bowline technique you got there, I showed some folks your running bowline flip method you showed in an old video, I use it all the time now. Priceless thank you

    Substantial difference! You can tell that Damian is definitely back 😅 The tree trimming is a very noticeable difference . Many lessons from you, August. Thank you for sharing 👌

    Bump caps have been around for at least twenty years. I've always wanted to try one. It's essentially a baseball cap on top of hard hat suspension.

    Probably my favorite thing on this channel is watching you tie knots. It's amazingly fluid.
    I can't recall which video it was, but you were tying a series of them without even thinking. (wasn't the focus of the content) I swear you just WILLED the rope with your mind.

    Great technique on the bowline, I will learn that. also wanted to thank you for showing us the amazing carrick bend previously. Finally got a chance/remembered to implement it. Worked a charm

    Hey August! Very nice pruning work on the Crepe. The grapple saw technique was great, there sure was a lot of delicate stuff under that area!

    Everything Reon has was too big for that job !! Your grapple/saw was perfect for that job !!
    Really good thinking 👍😉

    I've used that grapple method quite a bit over flower beds and if stuff is just out of reach over a roof. It is a chore, but one guy can do it if you use a polesaw in conjunction.

    What a pretty backyard with Damien’s sawing and you catching! Excellent job on the previous crepe myrtle! Your area of the country is so beautiful!❤❤❤

    That is a very nice Crepe Myrtle! It has been well taken care of, it is interesting how easily the branches can meld on those. Good to see Damien back. Btw I love the bowline technique, I'll have to review that, it is very fast. My feeble brain takes things in stages, the first thing I see is an overhand knot, I'll have to process what happens after that when I get a little time to review things, Thanks for posting!

    I have been using and teaching that Bowline method for more than 50 years, and even going further to making the bowline one handed.

    Ok that was a cool trick August. I never thought to try that one. Even in retirement I am still learning the trade.

    Pretty slick with that running bowline at the end👍 I always do the slip knot flipped over into a bowline. Cool video brother with that nice stick boom 😁

  • @tagerauen5378
    @tagerauen5378 3 місяці тому

    The process of crepe myrtle leading to shared vascularity in the cambium layer is called "inosculation" which is a natural process common in thin barked trees similar to grafting. Grafting refers to the man made process of joing two trees. (But you probably knew that.)
