    Please keep the flying in your videos. This is no longer merely a tree work tutorial channel. This has become an amazing vlog about life: its challenges, and how we overcome them; its joys, and how we create them.

    Finally! After so many years of watching August's videos I got proof that he IS a human! I have never seen him have any problems that us, the common mortals, have like getting the saw stuck, or the "nests". This vid really made my day. August now I hate you a little bit less for your flawless work. 😄

    Good Morning August, I got a kick out of the Peacock that kept crowing back at your noises. I used to live across the road from a farm that had them. Every time I made a loud noise, they answered. Shutting the truck door would get a harrar harrar rar rar... from them.

    You could have shown more of that flying , it was nice. The tree work was on point also. The view from up in the tree was good but you do have to earn it. The time lapse of Jeff and Adam chewing the tree up , shows what machines they are.

    Very good! Maybe you should take a couple pine limbs with you when you fly. If anything happens and you have to bail out, they will for sure hang up on something on the way down. That was the the joke about our chokers when we would fly back from logging in southeast Alaska.

    Kind of odd maybe but oh well !! 3200 views so far and betting about everyone of us were rooting for each limb or the big "hammers" to knock that nest out 🤣 Great video of both the work and the flyin !!

    I went up in a small plane in the early 1960s. It was amazing, I felt like I was hanging from a string in mid air. It was like trying to eat just one potato chip, I wanted more! I flew to Amsterdam three times in the late 1980s, but it wasn’t the same feeling in a large plane. As this video is almost two years old, I hope you’re still flying and doing it solo!

    Can't wait for the full transition to Monkey-Beaver-Eagle. It's only about 3 miles to the Pacific Ocean from Zamperini Field where I learned to fly. The designated practice area is off the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Heading back in was over the port of Los Angeles. The view is always more appreciated from the left seat. Thanks for sharing the video. Stay safe at whatever pace is comfortable.

    Dude this was a GREAT video! I was rooting for you the whole time! My anxiety was surfing on this one. This was a great example of exactly something I would do. That whole tree would've ended up being a magazine in which round after round would've been put downrange to accomplish the goal of breaking that bundle lose! I love all of your videos August and don't watch as many as I probably should, but this one I really enjoyed. Thank you. Also, I'm still going strong with my monkey beaver harness, it's getting daily usage all the way down here in Orlando Florida. I have your sticker on the back of my truck advertising for ya every day. I'm also trying to convince my boss to pick up a monkey beaver deluxe speedline kit because we could for sure use it. I don't think he truly understands how handy that would be. Anyways, you'll probably never see this comment but much love and respect from the sunshine state!

    Enjoy the flying August - as with going to the top of a tall tree and coming back alive, pre-flight planning is what will bring you back from the flight as well (Like you, I do both) Hope you had a great flight.
    Once you start Night Flying there are 2 experiences you MUST do
    1) between 3500 - 5500 AGL, on a night with no moon - turn off all the lights ( well, not ALL the lights) and just marvel at the feel that you are on a flying carpet
    2) Same as above but on a full moon
    3) would be the same as both above but someplace where you get snow on the ground - and go up right after a fresh snow fall - where I used to fly I just had to wait for the seasons to change for all of the above.

    OK so I just watched a video you did on May 7,2022 and you cut it perfectly... Cutting from the ground up on a complete take down is the best way to remove that pine tree. Now I know that you can cut properly, but why do did June 3rd tree ass backwards.. I am not trying to sound like a jerk, but I hope that you can see where I'm coming from. I have cut hundreds of large white pines, (here in New Hampshire ) . June 3rd removal made you look like a total rooky. Again, you are a very good climber, so screw the videos and put your safety ahead of everything else. Please know that I have a lot of respect for your tree work abilities.
