"eyeball contact on the clip" great point. I was tired and re-positioned my flip line, caught it and clipped it in, " click" great...kept working. I had not made eyeball contact. I just heard the click. When I was coming down to fell the stem, I saw as I was descending that I had been working with my flip line clipped into an accessory loop next to my D ring. I feel sure that that loop is made of great stuff and stitched like it will save a life...but its not the D ring. Eyeball contact, every time. its a rule. : )
That’s crazy I had the same exact experience except I was clipped in to my petzl caratool that’s plastic I got lucky my flip line Beaner didn’t slide off cause the gate had broken off a time prior
August gets all the HERO STUD work....but the guy that drives the Vermear BEAST through that KEYHOLE of the carport and new fence...NASCAR material! 😳🐒🐿 👍🤣
Excellent point. Good mini operators are the unsung heroes of modern tree work lmao. Prob is they make not breaking things , scuffing siding and not digging up yards look easy , but there's a lot of thinking going on.
@@rustysteel8714 yup haha. That's a solid performance. Those last few trips through were prob the most nervy lol. If something bad was gonna happen , it'd be then ofc.
The whole crew is great, truly, but Adam Zoppo (I think I got that right) is the real MVP, on dang near every job. It's easy to focus on August and Damien with them being the focal points of the camera most of the time, but I am beyond impressed with the countless times Adam is in the background scrambling, or staging stuff, and everything else he does. The second there's a gap big enough for him in the gate, he's through and fires up the chipper and then hustles back to assist August, I presume. That man is always 3 steps ahead. Bravo Adam! You are noticed and you definitely impress, fella! Great work!
@@johndunbar2393 ya, Damien 😁 does more for the company than anyone else. Jeff, is ready to do anything and has nothing he feels is beneath him. Adam is consistent head down and working drudgery with a seeming zeal for it. If there was a least valuable person, it would be me, no joke. I am nearly completely unnecessary for getting the job done most of the time but I own the company, So I guess making the platform has importance but not to job-site specifics, except when my experience rarely brings efficiency that would have been absent.
@@AugustHunicke you have all the knowledge and experience that’s invaluable. You been there done that . Your crew is so good not only from hard work and good work ethic but you helped teach them a ton I’m sure . Don’t sell yourself short. Don’t know shit about tree work but I know construction and you guys are efficient and a great crew . Thanks for the videos and knowledge brother .
Hi August, I am mentally planning a tree that is ahead of me in the next weeks, and You should know, I really appreciate hearing your thoughts as you think them. Thank you for taking the time and caring. George.
Mic drop. You and Buckin’ stay on the saw, even after the tree starts to go, trimming the holding wood to steer the tree just a smidgin to get it to fall right. That is truly art.
If I had to break a fence a brand new one would be preferable to a kind of old one as it’s easy to match:). I find a GRCS is invaluable in such cases. Great job on this old girl August. I thought about buying that ascender, but I might only use it three times:)
Unfortunately won't be able to watch this till later tonight, but it looks like a good one....is that the INFAMOUS Brand New Fence Under Tree In Need Of Vacating The Premises I see there???
I get it. It's easy to get lost thinking ahead . Like for example, your brain is grinding the stump of the tree you're still tied in to lol. August has a very disciplined , deliberate and pragmatic approach. Also ,when the cards aren't stacked in his favor, he talks himself through it. I hope this makes sense , CJ lol
Thanks August! Had a nice chat with Evan @ MB yesterday. Made my first MB purchase of some Panther items. Things went smooth. Evan's a great guy. 16" Panther kit on the way up the coast to Toledo for my 2511. I've been meaning to do that for a while...
If I'm not mistaken every one of those blocks landed flat . . or nearly. Nice manipulative limb cutting. If I lived near there I'd be glad to see that tree gone. (poor thing) Thanks once again for sharing.
When i was young they used to have a felling competition in town. The best guys could not only hit the peg but drive it right into the ground. Nice work August brought back some happy memories of my late father.
Wow that rope line/ shooter/ ascender is a great bit of kit, looks like fun too. Never seen that before 👍 that first branch disposal could’ve been manually carried, wasn’t big at all.
Hey there were a couple great stills you could get outta there. The one where you're kind posing while suspending off the side of the tree when you're ascending. You are silhouetted and the tree and trunk look cool. And another is just the tall trunk with the sun right at the top. Those were cool shots you did. Could make a great still photo
Which is correct patience or patients? The words "patience" and "patients" are homophones: They sound the same but have very different meanings. The noun "patience" refers to the ability to wait or endure hardship for a long time without becoming upset. The noun "patients" is the plural form of "patient"-someone who receives medical care.
I'll bet she doesn't watch as many of your video's as we do 😀 after seeing one go through a tiny gate a hundred an some feet away I'd never bet against ya 😉 especially on just a stem !! Another Great video, Thank you so much !!!!!
Excellent video. Never used a raptor but I do have the Ronin and I love it. Biggest reason was the raptor had a 2-3 year waiting list. Still had to wait a couple of months for the ronin.
But, but..... you didn't show what happened to the bottle after it got smashed. 🥞👍 The MonkeyBeaver crew once again showing how to make the hard work safe and easy. Good stuffAugust, keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲 Randy
I was once asked to drill a 4” hole through 18” of steel-reinforced concrete. I planned on wet-drilling with a drill strapped to one fork of a forklift. But there was a computer server right below where they wanted the hole. I was told it couldn’t be turned off and couldn’t be moved. No problem, I said. I could just destroy it in place! There’s always an unacceptable alternative. Don’t be afraid to offer one!
You see the tree and how to bring it down in a way I wouldn't have a clue. It's like us old surfers we can see a wave coming from a long distance and know if it's rideable and where to paddle to catch it from experience. As always Keep Walking with God I don't think it's going to be too long before we are Walking into Heaven.
August it's almost 👍 like yer in your right mind . Outstanding job August , anything is easy if ya know how 🤔. Yes you guys are awesome, of course I am just a old stump jumper what the heck do I know . You buggers be safe Love Wins.
WHAT! You have the newly branded mini panther bar already! LOL...man this vid made me laugh bro, hearing about you hitting the zigzag on a branch and dangling by one arm. You make it look so easy.
Haha I love the subtlety about the pool and the old owner and then the "there's a new guy now" haha its wild what you'll see as a climber haha we get to see everyone's vackya4ds from the trees lol some people keep the front yard so clean and tidy and then their backyards are just a mess haha not making fun of anyone just saying it's crazy how different every yard is haha I know we all get swamped and busy with other stuff so I get it just saying how we see all from the trees haha ive seen some freaky stuff haha
Nice video... About the bottle challenge, the face cut wasnt aiming the bottle it seems.. so was the stem a little inclinated or you made a triangle hinge?
"When I lived here, there was a guy that kept his pool really clean."
*points to the pond*

I agree with you, he’s awesome, but it’s not a competition. We don’t have an MVP.
@@AugustHunicke Of course not. I used MVP as an analogy only. It takes a team and is a team effort.

So satisfying to see all of the chunking landing flat. A+
Even after working a long take-down today, I enjoyed studying your methods. So many priceless, invaluable bits of crucial information…
Your rope man is pretty good, I think I'd keep him around. Great crew, great team work. Cheers from sunny South Carolina

Well if it was a old fence it would still look ok, just give the entire fence a bit of a touch up and paint it so it all looks new
Great teaching video and fun watching an expert crew at work and splattered one bottle lol
Unfortunately won't be able to watch this till later tonight, but it looks like a good one....is that the INFAMOUS Brand New Fence Under Tree In Need Of Vacating The Premises I see there???
One has to wonder why they didn't have this tree removed before putting in a nice new fence like that???
Another awesome video. Thank you August. It’s refreshing to see the crew work together in unison to complete the task.
And to watch a team that knows what they are doing! Every man had his responsibility and does it well! Kudos to you guys!!
I am a 70 yr old grams but I just love watching you take down these trees…have been on here for several yrs now
Your calm demeanor has taught me to organize my thinking on the job. Thanks. I hope that makes sense.
I get it. It's easy to get lost thinking ahead . Like for example, your brain is grinding the stump of the tree you're still tied in to lol.

22.20 that’s so valuable with learning and understanding limb walking I find so much information from your vids thanks August
The Hitman had to come back to the old neighborhood. When you think you're out they pull you back in.

Try to keep it for pruning and delimbing. They don’t handle chunking wood down much.
@@AugustHunicke Roger that... I'll try not to overwork it... (grin)
Love watching the Adam Vinatieri of tree removal!
If I'm not mistaken every one of those blocks landed flat . . or nearly.
Nice manipulative limb cutting.

Thanks once again for sharing.
You are correct! And to bring it into his aviation world, "perfect landings"!!! Yes, he IS that good! Take care!
A master at work, and not forgetting the good crew down below brilliant work.
You are an artist, great job. You and the crew are to be commended.
When i was young they used to have a felling competition in town. The best guys could not only hit the peg but drive it right into the ground. Nice work August brought back some happy memories of my late father.
You work hard, smart and safe, while explaining to your u tubers, and make it look easy. Be safe.
@:57 “I hired Damien to prune this tree that’s just nubs now” 🤣🤣🤣 if he would’ve said that lol
Que precisión en la caída del ramaje y del tronco, dándole a la botella con el tronco mayor lo han bordado y demostrado su profesionalidad !! 👍👍
Some good Firewood there.
nice shot on that bottle August.....I fell timber, and made a few bucks bettin' I could hit a stick stuck in the ground out about 50" or so LOLOL
Wow that rope line/ shooter/ ascender is a great bit of kit, looks like fun too. Never seen that before 👍 that first branch disposal could’ve been manually carried, wasn’t big at all.

I had to comeback to this comment and edit cause you brought it up. That is hilarious🤣
You did not hit the bottle, the tree did. LOL 🧨😂😂🤣🤣🤣
You nailed the bottle...Awesome...!!!
Just drop that big log off next to my sawmill lol

Excellent video. Never used a raptor but I do have the Ronin and I love it. Biggest reason was the raptor had a 2-3 year waiting list. Still had to wait a couple of months for the ronin.
Never seen this sought of work up close. Nerve wrecking. Good job mate.
your show is grate thanks cool
Glad it's just not me who gets a huge birds nest in the throw line 😆
Very impressive, the skills, the work and the accuracy.
Arborist sounds so posh. We call them Tree Surgeons in England.

Amazing how you check and make the cuts so that the limbs go where you want them. Real skill there. Thanks for another great video.
"we'd fit right in in the UK" pretty accurate I'd say

Thanks for talking us through this. Yeah that pool is pretty nasty. Time to get the shock treatment out...
They are so good at there job . Cool
That tree was HUGE! I bet the home owners are going to miss it!

highly skilled tree rats are worth every penny they charge. Keep up the great work.
Man when we were kids we'd have to carry those bundles over your shoulder by hand out to the trailer
Wow that was a great video! Nicely done!
You have my respect, I've done some crazy things in my life, but WOW.
I knew you would hit the bottle I’d complete faith in you,
Flinging your flamingo leg.. . Yeah, I think many people got it...
