Agreed. I’ve heard that even the native Americans removed excess brush and trees. It’s necessary to remove or it becomes a total hazard-crushing, obstructing, causing fires, etc. But when we maintain and trim the forest it’s like a beautiful garden.
Damien and August make a great team. When you do anything that comes with so much danger, it's always good to know you can depend on your teammate's skill and knowledge.
I live up in north east Ontario . In moderation beavers are very good for the forest and water management . Their fur is soft water proof and warm . Dearly love my beaver trapper hat and beaver mitts in the coldest weather for protection . That harness should be something special on several levels . Thanks for the excellent content and humanity .
That harness is one of THE most impressive things I have seen all day!! Stoopid trees falling!! Ugh. Wait you were cutting and then walking to the crane and craning....you are a savage!! 🤪 Nice Dirty Laundry pull! It should be called the Chewbacca!! Glorious!
Years ago I lived on the top of a mountain in the Southerntier of New York State. One Winter we had an ice storm. Tall pines that had been planted in rows to reforest started to domino once covered with ice. Acres of forest went down! Unbelievable sight.
I like to consider myself a true tree hugger, I love trees and the astonishing beauty and height/size of them but also know that they have to be maintained and trimmed or cut down.
Awesome new saddle! August the barbarian style. Love my monkey beaver saddle! That saddle looks like it should be in Alaska! Mountain Man Tree Works. Kodiak Ak.
I see clearly some virtuosity behind the manipulation of that crane, especially when it comes to get the tree stumps out of the barn. A friehd of mine had a similar situation and those engaged to do the job added only carnage to existing destruction by pulling the stump bits out of the house. 👍Beaver Harness!
Thank you August for these precious videos that teach us how to work safely and professionally, since watching your videos I have learned many things and worked safer and for this I am very grateful to you. THANK YOU. FROM ITALY
The new Monkey Beaver Winter Wear Special! Get yours TODAY while still in stock! Very limited production! Be the first in your community to have this Masterpiece of both style and function! Guaranteed to cut your job time by ten percent ( excluding explanation to curious customers ). This weather has made many blue collar lines overwhelmed with the excess of work. Crying shame to home owners, when tons of prior beauty turns into thousands of dollars in repair. And the rivers running through communities is devastating to entirely far too many areas. But you are doing great stuff to help with recovery, many will benefit from your teaching (hopefully). Excellent work, in and out and you didn’t wear Zoppo to a frazzle for one job today! Cheers guys.

Came across your channel around two weeks ago and with the first episode I was hooked and a subscriber. You are a busy and very passionate man with your business and channel. The beaver pelt saddle is pretty cool and should be a big hit if it is available to the public. Keep up the good work my friend and stay real. Be safe out there fellas.
Enjoyed the video. Nice work dissecting the downed tree and rigging it out. Very nice. How about that beaver saddle? Now that's the cat's meow. Wonder how the chips and sawdust will look on it? You will be combing it out after every climb. But, you'll be the pimpest climber around.
👀 Spy the new red bridge rope on the Beaver pelt harness. Nice! That pick where Damien was nervous was quite nerve racking. Good video. Nice customer. Crummy situation. I'm glad his '66 sounded unscathed. Thanks for bringing us along!
The beaver pelt is a great idea. Afaik, the price the trappers got paid per pelt crashed 2 years ago, which has not made it any easier for the trappers in the north. Traplines and Inlines quit trapping after winter 21-22, though he has other projects he's busy with. . Andrew (the WildNorth) is still trapping and worth following.
I have a neighbor with a tree that could potentially fall on my garage. This video reminded me of that. We get along and everything so I'm sure we can work something out.
I know it can't happen but I still think the suspenders should be monkey pelt... besides they would be holding the beaver up 😀 What a great video... Thank you August !!!!
The beaver pelt is amazing. Possibly the greatest achievement in Arbor care since the chainsaw. However, it's named monkey-beaver; so maybe the suspenders should be ...
This Video to Comment on, a very hart Work! Your Idea with the Beaver Skin, is insane good and make Fun. The Tree what to fall midway in the House!! This sick and rotten Trees not to fell is a great unreasonable! I have not little Sympathy! This is carelessness!! You and Damian have a very good Work make. 💪👌👍 Greeting from Austria 🇦🇹
It’s a good thing no monkey parts were incorporated into that awesome beaver harness. I don’t think the internet could handle another Harambe incident.
August, I live in a small village in the UK where the main road was out for 3 years down to flooding (3 years ago) and 'they' tried to fix it twice , and failed, and finally had to do it right. We live in a world where the people in charge of things work in offices and don't know how anything works anymore and the people who do know are ignored.
Get you a beaver skin hat, and you can look like Del Gue from the movie Jerimiah Johnson. "I ain't never seen 'em, but my common sense tells me the Andes is foothills, and the Alps is for children to climb!"
At the 00:00:31 point I stopped the video and thought, that shelf fungus means root rot. (Kind of like a “Dead Tree Walking.) If you have large trees around your house, you MIGHT want to have them inspected for signs of disease, so that they can be removed BEFORE they fall on your house. After watching one of August’s videos on the problem of co-dominant tops, I had a Colorado Blue Spruce removed before it could fall on my house, as happened to my neighbor, across the street. The beaver pelt on the climbing harness is fine, but I don’t think you want to go to the point where you are putting pink baboon butts on the belts.
August I gotta say, that has to be the coolest looking saddle I have ever seen. 😎👊 🐒🦫 You and the MonkeyBeaver crew really are making all this very hazardous work look so very smooth and easy, well done. Hey! Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲 Randy
Can't wait till this summer when I can finally save up enough to get a monkey beaver harness!! I do concrete as my profession but climb trees in my off time and can't wait till I have the comfort of sitting in a monkey beaver harness, I've heard only great things about them and the one I have is easily 20 years old and very uncomfortable. But I only use my profits to buy my climbing gear so I have to wait till I get a few jobs done in the summer. Also what's the best pair of sours everyone prefers?
Since sound is pressure waves propagating through a medium (often air), YES their is sound, when a tree falls, no matter if anybody sees it. In deep space, where there is effectively a vacuum (no medium), there cannot be sound. So no noises in space, when things explode - that just looks/sounds cool in movies. 👍👍👍
What you were saying about the folks that don’t like trees removed/maintained…they are just way out of touch. I once built a cedar deck for a lady and there was a dying Ponderosa 10 feet off of it. I told her that I could look at getting that tree removed for her. Whilst standing on her new cedar deck she said “Oh.. I couldn’t imagine cutting any tree! I just sort of looked at her like I was a beagle that just heard a high-pitched noise. Baffling.😶
My grandma had a tree fall on her house at night and would have hit both bedrooms while people were sleeping but the small bathroom window header stopped the tree from crushing them…
I'm surprised that the insurance companies don't say something about so many pine trees being so close to so many structures. My mothers house had some pine trees in the yard and after some heavy rains followed by a wind storm a couple of them tipped over. One laid over on her roof, didn't do any damage at all because it laid over so slowly, but after that her insurance company refused to cover her home unless we removed any pine tree within a certain distance from her house. I think they said 75 feet if I remember correctly. They would allow some other deciduous trees that were closer than the 75 feet but they had to be a maximum of 50 feet tall. But they would not allow any pine trees of any make or model within the 75 foot range, regardless of age, height, weight , whatever...
All good with the beaver fured harness untill it gets full of saw chips and pitch from the trees. Still a great hearness from the best in the bizzness.
the save the rainforest meme from the 1990s (we now know was sponsored by big oil) was a very powerful one; people today generally are in a psychosis about forests, and don't understand that they grow like rockets.
Had a new friend come pick up some 30 inch green pine stems today I had cut into 20's. It's amazing seeing that weight float in the air. Feel like the pics on the live fir could've been larger. Wrong? If so why? Steep angle-high load strength.
@@AugustHunicke absolutely. Was just curious . what is your crane rated for? Use your speed line kit almost daily. Do you sleep? I don't understand how you've done so much the last 10 years.
Your new saddle seems like it's going to be awfully warm with all that insulation on it. I think to truly make it yours it needs a monkey tail on it. How sweet would that be?
Not sure if I ever saw you or if you do, spin inside the belt. As a lineman, retired, I would want the fur on the inside so I could spin easier inside my belt. But that thing looks cool.
@@AugustHunicke Whatever the bridge is. All we had was a belt and a strap which we also called a belt. To reach further out we would either let the “belt” out or clip in to one D ring on one side while rotating inside the “belt”. Interesting you rather work trees erect and take them down rather work on them already down. Reason why?
@@ethanarborist9294 I get that, it’s a given. But he said he’d rather work trees standing that’s clearing fallen trees. Wondering why. Work is work money is money. So it must be a personal preference on his part.

That is about as cool as it gets.
Definitely something to dream for. 👍

Did you know a Marion Nutter from Cave Junction, OR?
Years ago I lived on the top of a mountain in the Southerntier of New York State.
One Winter we had an ice storm.
Tall pines that had been planted in rows to reforest started to domino once covered with ice.
Acres of forest went down!
Unbelievable sight.
If I was 30 years younger I would seriously consider starting my own tree service company.
Love the videos - thanks for sharing.
With that new beaver skin saddle we are going to have to call you August THE CONAN Hunicke. 💪

I've got one of those harnesses - we call it a sporran! Great video, thanks
That harness is the epitome of this channel. Looks comfortable and the beaver pelt is saying “dam those trees!”

Nothing more fitting than a MonkeyBeaver harness made with Beaver pelt!
A monkey wearing beaver. Imagine that. Makes me wonder why you didn't do this years ago, given your whole, "Monkey Beaver" thing. You guys rock!
Yep they do . But I was here but it brought the hole hood out to see what happened. I did my beaver monkey work next day .Stay safe as you can!
You should incorporate an actual beaver tail into the harness🤣
Great idea!
😂😂😂
oh man, that's a pain, the butt but they got the right people for the job because that's no picnic.
You ain't cuttin the Trees you're maintaining Tree's for safety purposes 👍👍👍
Dude that harness is gonna haunt my dreams it's so amazing
AAWWW.... the teasing me!!!! first couple minutes..... the suspense
Nothing like having uninvited tree come in ur shop lol- but seriously im glad no one was in the shop when that tree fell-
That beaver harness is dope. Almost too good to use n get covered in wood chip 😂. Great job
That new harness is AWESOME!! -- Sas Monkey Beaver Squatch -- 😀
Good onya mate
Great to see someone still excited and passionate after many years in the saddle.
Really enjoyed this one.
August, I live in a small village in the UK where the main road was out for 3 years down to flooding (3 years ago) and 'they' tried to fix it twice , and failed, and finally had to do it right.
We live in a world where the people in charge of things work in offices and don't know how anything works anymore and the people who do know are ignored.
ok I thought the leather belt was the most beautiful you had made..
Before seeing the chubaka one lol 👍🏻
Did you just ghost crane lift that stem out while you cut it too!! Talk about multitasking🤣
Have a good one!!
Damien has the cutest laugh. 6:07
Ha! For some reason, the beaver harness caused me to think of Sasqatch. 😆 It does also have a Wookie vibe too!😁
That looks like the tree man calendar version of climbing rig😁
Awesome saddle!!!!
Y'all make a great team glad to see the tree come out without tearing the rest of that garage apart
Get you a beaver skin hat, and you can look like Del Gue from the movie Jerimiah Johnson.
"I ain't never seen 'em, but my common sense tells me the Andes is foothills, and the Alps is for children to climb!"

Baboon butts are on the way from Amazon already
Thanks for going through the process of that situation. What a great way to start my week.
Stay safe
It looks like it could be the next BigFoot MonkeyBeaver mass produced harness.
August I gotta say, that has to be the coolest looking saddle I have ever seen. 😎👊 🐒🦫
You and the MonkeyBeaver crew really are making all this very hazardous work
look so very smooth and easy, well done.
Hey! Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲

It's Oregon, we got millions of trees!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you....Beaverman!
As much as I like trees, this is precisely why I have cleared away any of them that can hit my house or buildings if they fall.
What type of crampons does Damien use? Distel Aluminum? What thorns does he use?
Another great video guys 👍

Yeah, cutting wood outside is probably the way to go. Inside, not so much. :-)
Howdy August, will the new Beaver pelt Monkey Beaver harness also come with a prehensile tail for an optional third tie in point? Have A Day! ;~)
I agree. It sorta reminds me of some movies from years ago where Beaver were trapped and the Indians didn't like it so they scalped the trapper.
My grandma had a tree fall on her house at night and would have hit both bedrooms while people were sleeping but the small bathroom window header stopped the tree from crushing them…
Responding to emergency situations can be a real downer if you do not keep faith and look to the lives saved.
As for the new belt, "what no tail?".
Lol my damn 500i just popped the exhaust like that a few days ago! Had the west coast bark box on

Flipping a coin to take the least sketchy job 🤣 August you be the mountain man tree climber instead of beaver for a harms it’s cover for your saddle 👊
Ok keep the made for this bar .
That beaver harness wood make a killer monkey beaver channel charity giveaway.
love watching your videos !!!! But you tree guys are insane, lmao
And I thought you would have put the fur on the inside, that would be so comfortable on a cold day.
Impressive job
Man just started the video while getting fizzed up
It depends entirely on what came first … the chicken…or the egg. WE NEED YOUR WISDOM so cut or sew your choice but keep posting.
I agree, u want to be cutting firewood outside the house....... get it before it becomes firewood.

That’s some beaver!
The pine trees that die standing up down south, the sap all settles to bottom and makes a very good fire starter we call rich pine in south Texas.
My family always called it lighter wood, but I know people who call it fatwood.
LetsDig18 calls those fat lighters.
