    Well executed August.👍🏻👍🏻 Just a suggestion … I always take my metal detector and pinpointer with me to check for nasties before cutting. Who knows who’s put up bird boxes, washing lines and tree houses etc in the past. It’s not infallible but has saved me hours of sharpening

    August is definitely a cut above.
    Even working solo, he is able to fell the tree and offer us a ringside seat that a film crew could not top.
    I noticed he set one camera within 6 feet of the drop zone. He fired up the drone to give us the aerial perspective and returned to finish off the job he started.
    Well done.

    That was so cool! Never watched one nearly drop out of sight, great camera footage. I did one last year almost the same layout, the deck was actually contoured around 1/4 of the tree. We dismantled the rail which was nailed into the stem. I started the humboldt just above the deck working from the deck. We roped it, it was dead and a wee bit punky with a little back lean over a cabin. It flopped in the dirt, not impressive, no dramatic crashing disappearing over a chasm. THAT was impressive! Blessings Sir, You and your family have a wonderful Christmas. BTW I love my new Monkey Beaver 1, now I need to learn to use it.

      I don't know if it's this or that, but as a whole the video is 100% 🏁
      And the wild thing is that August was there working by himself. I guess his crews gets some satisfaction by watching it via the tube.
