    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.

    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

    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 👏 👍👍👍

    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 ?

    @lawnmanmartinfan7909 3 роки тому

    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

  • @alanamos5158
    @alanamos5158 3 роки тому

    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?

  • @bigmike4737
    @bigmike4737 3 роки тому +1

    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.

    cool about your 12 year old son flying. all the best.
