Damien is such a gracious guy, always full of praise and positivity, free with his knowledge and experience. A great asset to a great team. Regards from Scotland.
Swear came to the comments to write basically the same thing you did @longlowdog So might as well just comment on this and say agreed! @August Hunicke you are the man brother. Damien is so prideful and powerful man because he’s so humble and gracious for everything. Keep him August. You want ever find another like him!💯💪🏼🪓🤙🏼☝🏼 Climb High & be safe!
I’m supposed to be getting my morning chores done’ but instead here I sit watching another high quality August video.... Why because his videos are addictive and Awesome man!!!
Love it! Seeing the kiddo with the saw at the end warms my heart. My daughter has come to work with me before and has said "Daddy's climbing! I want to climb!"
August I just want to say you have assembled an amazing team!! I've been a big fan for a long time! Love the vids keep up the great work fellas! Peace and love from Maine ya'll
You guys are funny! You're bustin' out some seriously hard work and still look like you're having fun doing it..... and ditto on my wife's comment, because I care. 😉 Keep yourselves safe! Randy
I've worked above high tension wires as a climber & even sub transmission. Where I live they hang the wires low because we don't have many trees over 100 foot. More often than not it's an Aspen or a white pine 80+ foot above high tension & high voltage. I don't like it but as long as you know your minimum approach distance & make no direct or indirect contact it's somewhat safe. I just make sure to cut things small enough that they are less likely to hit wires.
Y’all Seem like very nice guys! Good serious crafstmen who take pride in their work! Good and strangely fascinating videos! Dont know how I got here, but I’m having a good time in your company! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Denmark! 👋😎😁⭐️
Love it when the crew is jelling like this keep it up guys!!!! Definitely going to practice those salami cuts Damien thanks for making a special point to talk about them. I feel it's been missing from my arsenal.
1st time I've seen a salami cut. Nice, I'll bet it's REALLY nice when at end of warm day and energy is getting down there so much it will take a dinner gas tank refill and settling time to get the computer running again. :)
if u can't already tell, i really enjoyed this video; it got me amp'd for work today. august hunicke arborists inc. are normally good for 2 thing's - laughs & solid tree cutting.
I would love to see you guys and Buckin' do a job together. I really think that it would be cool because both you guys are Buckin' Billy Ray are awesome however you both have completely different styles for the most part
Used to work for the power company cutting trees out of power lines. If a tree was in the power lines and the owner wanted it removed we would take the whole thing out for free. (cheaper/safer than dealing with a down power line in the future) Many owners didn't want us to even trim their trees out of the lines. We had to keep the power up so that's how those horrible "U" shaped trees with lines running through the middle come to be. I hated doing it, but that's what the owner wanted.
The power company will help with the "electroconvulsive" parts of the mission but will generally only trim through the line clearance zone - those monkey beaver folk, however, handle the holistic/"whole"-istic tree clearance zone and maybe someway into the root grindance zone. holistic - philosophy - characterized by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole
The rake - cam blew my mind.. far better than the ground level go pro on the bottom of a fighter jet going inverted at mach 2 for the missile kill !!! Damn impressive.. how do you maintain your icy composure running the rake cam ??
I absolutely love the comraderi and the level of skill it's also really cool hearing the customer's awe and fascination August U r most definitely bout dat Tree L🌲Fe🍀🤙🌲 side note what was the little white butterfly train right around 4min 28sec's 🤔 attention check'r?🤪
Great job, There WAS a man, whom had a tree extremely close to the catenary lines for a railway which, was lower than the surrounding area, but he DID NOT ASK THE RAILWAY, SO HE WAS GOINK TO FIX IT HIMSELF, EH DID NOT LIVE TO TALK ABOUT 36THOUSAND, TOOK HIM OUT , CHEERS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What was your tree saw ?? Today. I love my 200T with a couple power mods and fresh rebuild all new parts. The 200T and I just are perfect for each other. I like the top handle and extra power and light weight for my old beat up parts.
Hey August, just wondering if you guys ever thought about getting certified for line clearance. I’m not 100% on the business aspect of it or how practical it would be out on the manifest side of the country, but I’m pretty sure you can do it via your local power company.
I have 1 question: just how did the home owner keep insurance on this house? I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, my insurance would cancel me for trees this close to the house and that tall.
The power company in my area has a full time arborist department. They have 15 arborists on staff and several boom trucks and chippers. They will come out and remove branches for you, usually free. Cheaper for them to do that then to repair the damage caused by some idiot dropping a tree in the wires.
I must confess I have not watched every video you have put out but I am slowly working on it. Can you do an update in a future video about what is going on with the property you purchased. Curious?
Have you guys ever used cardio headsets they are way easier to connect and stay connected but nothing against Sena stay safe out there love seeing what you guys do
It's one thing I don't understand. How come a houseowner allow trees to be so close to their houses? Do they built a house 4 feet from a tree or do they let it grow so close. Trees close to a house only means problems. On the other hand, this is what give August Hunicke inc. job.
I am lineman and we will clear any trees near the primary if requested for 2 reasons, 1 if they are down we don’t have to worry about future outages and 2 if asked and we say no and an accident happens we would be liable.
If youre chunking in a situation where ricochet is possible, you should probably pull out a block and portawrap and start negative rigging. Makes the difference between a nice clean landscape and a beat to shit one when youre done. Tree guys that just pound the ground and dettroy the grass/plants leave a bad taste in customer mouth when they hire another crew. Chunking is easier but the negative rigging is proper and definitely more professional.
Yep, eucalyptus here in Aus has a thin bark with moisture under it that is like oil. When a block drops and hits another it can fire off sideways almost as fast as it fell and shoot right across the yard and you gotta be fast on your feet.
Everyone there should be wearing leather gloves. You can put a lot more tension on the rope and manually handle a lot more limbs using gloves instead of skin. You also get protection from splinters and handling metal heated by the sun.
2 things "i" noticed during the video(i know, me being aware of something; crazy right?). 1st Damien's truck's a 5 speed(friggin awesome). 2nd is asplundh must be nation-wide eh? Is bartlette tree out that way as well?
Can any of you wild and crazy guys explain what happened by the "speedline it in, and then lowering on a bight" part? Impossible for me to see on my phone... thanks!
I guess they tightened their speed-line so much it rose above a branch of that little tree. So when the limb came down it got hung up on that branch. Speed-line being over it, it made for a bight.
Damien is such a gracious guy, always full of praise and positivity, free with his knowledge and experience. A great asset to a great team. Regards from Scotland.
True. He’s true class. True class.

I always get a kick out of how impressed customers are with the little things we tree guys take for granted... Lol they're always so awed
Love it! Seeing the kiddo with the saw at the end warms my heart. My daughter has come to work with me before and has said "Daddy's climbing! I want to climb!"
Never get tired of watching these guys....good job.
You are great a comedy as well as a great treeman.....Nice job!!!
August I just want to say you have assembled an amazing team!! I've been a big fan for a long time! Love the vids keep up the great work fellas! Peace and love from Maine ya'll
Thanks Shawn
Do I like to watch raking? Are you kidding! I love it! Clean up is SO satisfying. ( I am NOT kidding!)
❤ to watch y'all work. Good to see y'all jamming! Thanks yall.
A pleasure to see the pulling on the land side. Thanks.
The zip line video with the kids and the piñata was totally awesome. Great job with that. Jim
I might be to old to do this type work but I am still impressed with the skills y'all have.
You guys are funny! You're bustin' out some seriously hard work and still look

Nailed it again !
Nice job guys.
Adam is a hard working guy and deserves all the respect he can get as you all do. Great guys August.
Large iced 911 - DB is such a key quarantine necessity! Wife and I celebrated 15 years of marriage yesterday and she brought me a 911 to start my day.
AWESOME chunk shots. I was hypnotized by the saw dust and clouds.
That was so close to that house. I'm always holding my breath when you guys are dropping those chucks from such height. Well done. :-)
“Jeff was about to go to sleep”. 😂😂😂 August has got the purple Wiggle working for him. WAKE UP JEFF! 😂😂😂
Everyone needs an extreme action cam lol. Good video as always
Adam is the best, He cares about getting the job done and the glue that holds everyone together, He is the A in A-team.
Love it when the crew is jelling like this keep it up guys!!!! Definitely going to practice those salami cuts Damien thanks for making a special point to talk about them. I feel it's been missing from my arsenal.
I love it. My 2 year old carries around my 2511 every time he can reach it
🤘🌲🐀. Best was When grandpa said(sic) "Hello UA-cam Grandpa"😁
Even though he's a grampa, he's still a dad. That was a dad reply.
Good job guys. Y'all work safe and fast.
1st time I've seen a salami cut. Nice, I'll bet it's REALLY nice when at end of warm day and energy is getting down there so much it will take a dinner gas tank refill and settling time to get the computer running again. :)
Nothing gets better than the rake mounted go pro. Please include that more 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You crack me up Damien, thanx for the laughs😝
Revving the saw means a signal. Great. Another teaching moment.
Evan -- "Hello Internet" Me - "Please call me UA-cam" 🤣😂
Ya 😁
Humor of the day, makes the day go nicer.
Zoppo is just 2 letters away from Zorro ... Adam needs a shirt with a big Z across the front ! Good video guys , thumbs up :-)
Grandpa's reply was the best part of this video 😆

Good job on the video Damien:)
Nice save Damien..."we did that to show you what happens when there's not enough tension on the zip line:)"
Great stuff you blokes..
Great video! Damian is quite the jokester! The child at the end was precious…yours?❤❤❤❤❤
The Action Raking was the best part.
always a good show
thanks for the coffee evan
You feel the saw you know the feeling when doing a cut like that when go for it😆. I do it people say it's no good hehe.👍

Not sure but it looked like primal procreation type stuff. . . Birds and bees type stuff.
Hey August I think u have a natural there just needs a little saw control an he be on his way 👍nice job guys
Speedline skillz. The reason I sub'd to this channel. Awesome vid.
When you said “let it run!”, and “RAIN DANCE”, is that a quote from Along Came Polly? Asking for a friend thanks.
Hi brother lol

Who is not going to pay the bill when the guy handing it to you has lots of chainsaws.
Your coffee buddy looked like John Elway when he first walked up to you.
WOWZERS! That is tight quarters!
Size ratio of kid to 2511T is perfect. It still amazes me how small those things really are.
"thats new technology did you learn that in space" :')
One day..the little guy is going to start that saw... and boy are you going to jump :)

8:10 what is that huge cellphone on the skid steer? Your Tree Family are lovely, your Home Family (Grand Pa and son) are adorable.
Nice job👍🏻🇺🇸
Do you use ton of carabiner slings, or do you take them back to the sawyer?
Tree man in the making. Cute little guy.
Bagster with the mini! One shot one kill.

I have 1 question: just how did the home owner keep insurance on this house? I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, my insurance would cancel me for trees this close to the house and that tall.
All of you are good sir.
How close to the power line do you get when climbing the tree with spurs or while cutting section your saw?
Lol that's a tiny little guy, and that echo looks like a 395 in his hands!
And they have an AC unit under the deck... damn this house!
And it looks to have enough air space around it (8:29) to function.
Ben H everyone was on cocaine in the 70s!!!
The kid makes an awesome plunge cut
That little feller's got sawdust in his blood!
Honest work, boys.

I must confess I have not watched every video you have put out but I am slowly working on it. Can you do an update in a future video about what is going on with the property you purchased. Curious?
I let that go and bought a different piece of property and now live there.
Your son has potential to be one of the best climbers in the world
Grandpa is kind of cute😁
Sorry Evan for the lack of response back! Whatta pal, coffee cruising buddies are the best kinda buddies.

You guys all wear the PROTOS helmets ? Is there a specific communication device for them or can you use any?
We use Sena
Absolutely top guy Damien
Adam where'd you learn how to use such technology? Ancient aliens!
That is not "rambling",it's explaining. Keep it up please.
Why wasn't the third--last-- tree first cut?
Love your videos, “lets get to work”..... btw, where are you guys located ? I noticed the Dutch Bros. PAC NW?
Never mind, looks like GP. I’m up in Snailem, so pretty close neighbors, Keep up the great channel.
PS, mill that stick and fix up their deck.
When chunking down wood, ever have one ricochet off another piece of wood or cartwheel where you didn't intend it to go ? I sure have .
Nope. Never.
I’m sure they’ve had that happen tons
If youre chunking in a situation where ricochet is possible, you should probably pull out a block and portawrap and start negative rigging. Makes the difference between a nice clean landscape and a beat to shit one when youre done. Tree guys that just pound the ground and dettroy the grass/plants leave a bad taste in customer mouth when they hire another crew.

Yeah. Steps are taken tho, when necessary, (based on “experience” of course 😁)
Yep, eucalyptus here in Aus has a thin bark with moisture under it that is like oil.
When a block drops and hits another it can fire off sideways almost as fast as it fell and shoot right across the yard and you gotta be fast on your feet.

Bartlett, I don’t think so, I could be wrong. Asplundh only does line clearance.
Supposedly Bartlett is worldwide but I've never seen them in my area. We have Nelson tree and Reese occasionally Asplundh
Can any of you wild and crazy guys explain what happened by the "speedline it in, and then lowering on a bight" part? Impossible for me to see on my phone... thanks!
I guess they tightened their speed-line so much it rose above a branch of that little tree.

What model sena helmet communicator do you find works best?
