Wow that is an absolutely Beautiful saddle !!!!!! But I wouldn't want one. Great call on the bats 😃 really nice work gentleman.... and always great camera angles 👍👍❤
Hey August! Nice Cutting Damien! interesting change of roles a little bit - Definitely just enough wood to direct those trees without issue. Great Video!
nice job guys. loved the comment when you were talking about rigging....."they have these things called spider lifts".....hilarious. good call on the bats.
Very accurate as always, the tensile strength of even questionable wood fiber is impressive.... well except for butterfinger. I have a similar pine to take down in Louisiana, lots of loose bark higher up. I'm just wondering if bird shot will penetrate the bark and hit bats, I do love bats, would hate to hurt one. The shotgun it seems should jar things loose. Not getting near it till some bark comes off. Enjoyed the video, great camera positions, thanks for posting! Blessings, stay safe.
Enjoyed the video. That's some rotten trees.....nice felling. Ooooh, the bats.....ugh. About time you get the Echo DCS2500T in use. It's a wonderful little saw.....well balanced and light. I have been using one for over a year and have limbed entire trees and dropped small tops with no problem. Matter of fact it makes me smile. Mine is bone stock with the 12" bar and chain. Keep it sharp and it will work for you. I do use a Husky 540i for bigger stuff...but I usually start with the Echo. I have been known to carry both saws up with me.....two gun. Give the 2500 a chance....you'll like it. (Hope to see you in Baltimore.)
Why do people wait so long to remove dying trees! Never had anyone get hurt from the bark coming down luckily, but seen several saws destroyed and had a bar sheared in two as unlikely as that sounds. Couldn’t pay me enough today to fall rotten trees. Personally I want my harness as light as possible but I’d buy those leather suspenders! 👍🏼👍🏼
Too much work for not enough reason. Modern materials are tougher and lighter and easier to manipulate in manufacturing. The usual modern synthetic materials used at MB are better 🤷🏼♂️😬
@@AugustHunicke I have a question which has no connection with the subject of the post but I have the right person to answer me here… I can't find the answer on the internet and the subject seems quite controversial. Is a bowline knot is a life knot? Tanks
Might be a bat inside. Wow that was to cool. Thank you for another great lesson on tree work.

Amazing camera work showing the bats and the drop, looked incredible with all the bark and limbs flying 🙌🙌🙌
Awesome video! That rotted tree was dangerous 😳 Thank goodness that father kept his son away from that tree. Thank you for sharing this 👌 😊

That’s some dead sticks.
Bats!!
Love the leather saddle.
Nice work
Glad you went to hang out with Damien. Good record of an exciting and risky challenge. 👍

Great job gentlemen.
Drop shots and the bats were absolutely crystal clear! Real nice drops Damian!
That dead top snapping and shattering was epic for UA-cam.
Nice harness, I love leather :-) But can imagine it would be heavy. Also great instinct with the bats :-)
Your prediction of the bats was spot on !
Great job Damien. Almost no holding Wood. August as soon as you start talking I start learning. Grateful for your Channel. Nice looking new Echo Saw.
Perfect…..as usual! 👍🏼👍🏼 self bucking trees are best 😃
Awesome everyone nice work August and Damien God Bless ( Ty Ron

Cool stuff that! Now the bats will have to find another condo.

The leather belt is beeyootiful nonetheless!

Very nice work on the leather saddle. I recommend some fancy tooling on the next one... ; >)
gotta love the thump!
I'd be willing to put 10 bucks towards a 92 foot CMC spider lift! Think of how cool the videos would be from that sweet rig!
15lb Leather Harness! Must be for Paul Bunyan!
That was fun. 🦇 🪓
You get a bat you get a bat everyone gets a bat. 🦇
I hope the bats are all safe and got out safely 😁
Good work. I've been underwhelmed by that echo
First and Last
🤭
Beautiful work.
After the 1/4 pitch bar you’ll like the 2500 echo
I like the original monkey beaver harnesses much more than this leather one.
They are definitely are lighter and more comfortable to wear.
did you get a shock brom that "Bat-tree LOL
👍
Self-mulching tree.

Bruuuuuh what do you mean the last leather saddle? I want one too.
I know that you weren't serious about climbing that tree August. Your life is worth way more than any amount of money. Seriously...
Ya. . . But I could do it 😎
August my man!
Hope you don't have a night mare of bats flying out of your trees,
why the first and the last..? I find that it is the most beautiful that you have done..

Is a bowline knot is a life knot?
Tanks
Beautiful axe! what brand?
To bad that rawhide looks great.
Does that harness Weigh considerably more than a non leather one?
No but when wet it will.
