- For newer subscribers. It's not always been about a crane. This is a segment of one of my older videos. I did this job on my 50th birthday, after 32 years of climbing and working in the logging and tree service industry.
You and several others here on CZcams are what caused me to start posting tree videos. I’m proud of my crew and labor. Great creative outlet and the community of folks that I have met since I started doing them makes it what it is today. Tree life. Thanks for everything August. Really appreciate you taking the time to do these videos. Stay safe. 🌲🎯💯
August I am not in the free biz but I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for providing the opportunity for us viewers to see your world.
you are the reason I started making CZcams videos at the age of 40 ....even with my 20+years of experience I would watch these videos on the edge of my seat ....pumped up to go cut some trees...and I love the idea of sharing my passion and creating a passion for others
Thanks for making videos.
Love your vid. I've been a viewer for a few months now and I like the crane jobs, beautiful execution. really like it when your breakout all the cool rigging stuff. Your crew is well trained and shows they enjoy their work.
This was one bad ass edit sir, you win the internet today!
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how professionals conduct deliberate tree work! Like a BO$$! I remember this vid from back in the day. The mini skid is so shiny and new....
Damn!!!! I'd almost forgotten about life on the trees before my crane. I don't think I have the nerves anymore to do it "old school"! It's a good thing my sons are stepping up. At this rate, I won't be operating anything but my desk and office chair. You're one of the few...the elite.....a real TREE-FREAK as my young grandson's puts it.👍👍👍
The editing!!!! Your videos are absolutely phenomenal! August, you and your crew are top notch, true professionals, can’t say enough... you guys are awesome!
Old video, but still impressive :-)
I liked it than and I liked it now.
All the best from Norway.
Talk about a controlled fall , awesome rigging,
Another video by a master tree surgeon.
There is an artistry in your work and videos and in the work of your crew that is absent elsewhere. Well done and keep it up!
I am yet another that was inspired to start making videos after watching your vids about 5 years ago. Been watching ever since and always look forward to and appreciate your content August!
Definitely don't have the know how to do something like this but I am excited to learn. Thanks for the video, love to see all the other guys in the industry posting stuff and letting others learn amd even be taught themselves.
Check out my I post complete unedited tree work . Helps with new guys .
August this video is bad ass! Great camera angles, big rigging and big wood. Liked the talc powder to slow the sap bleeding and keeping you from sticking to tree.....;~)
When I retire I will spend a great portion of my time in a lawn chair pulled up at ole huni's jobs taking notes. You and your crew got me into trees 8 years ago as a hobby. Every vid inspires me as always
Yep that's exactly what I would have done great work guys great work
Wow cool vid! Nice equipment. You laid that stob right in the lay with no breakage- Good job!!!
Awesome Video, Great Job. Thanks for making videos.
A master piece from the work it self to the camera shots to the video editing 👌🏽✌🏽
This is awesome, so incredibly awesome. Being a new age self taught climber, it would be an honor to work with your crew for a week just for the knowledge and plethora of tricks to be able to use in the future! Thank you for all your videos and amazing work. Hard to imagine loving any career more than I love this one but, watching your videos makes me love it just that much more. Stay safe everyone!!!!
Beautiful work beautiful video 👀👍
Great video and a awesome way to feature your equipment very entertaining
Awesome is the WORD for it, great work, I don't think I ever saw this vid earlier, but definitely great work, and it never ceases to amaze me how relaxed you are, even when them big chunks are BONKING the heck out the stem, ride em cowboy! ye haw!!!
One of my favorite videos 💪💪💪💪
WOW... Someone put in some time editing.!!! Thanks for the well made production....
Love the videos!!! Amazing tree work guys!!!! 👊👍💚
BEAUTIFUL! 😎
SO good... I had to watch it a couple of times!
Great vid! It sure does make the difference with the proper equipment and training. I’m still recovering from a job I did and was injured because I don’t have the right equipment. Now I’m afraid I’m going to lose everything. All because some thieves decided to steal all my equipment. So I decided to do that job and put the money to buying some of my climbing gear again..why is it when I try so hard to get ahead something like this happens..sorry i didn’t mean to bellyache on your channel sorry..again great video sir!!.
Get well soon man.
Had to be before the crane over the house is Exhilarating Nice job guys
Better than Groundhog Day !! Loving the RC kit promo
Haha
@@AugustHunicke There is just something about those rigging videos ! Powerful stuff
I liked the whole vid also but u can’t get tired of dropping big wood nice job again be safe I go back an watch some of the first vids an just amazed of some of the awesome footage u guys catch on camera thanks for all the hard work u put into them
Fantastic! Going to have to watch this one with my woodshop classes.
yes, yes...YES !!!! Awesome stuff.
The first time I saw this I was just as blown away as this time. I always enjoy the show fellas.
@@briankennedy1313 yes sir. Fun days. They were sending big. The last time I did... I went for a ride.
@@briankennedy1313 true. I think there are a lot of guys out here that take the teaching route here on CZcams though. I first learned my style from here.
Ive seen this video a few times showing others and just on a Augusthon while trying to do things around the house. There is always a way.... you earned that crane and the easy days that it can potentially bring you. And only after days like that do you really appreciate a machine like your nice shiny boom truck. Keep that chrome sparkling woooo!!!! Be well
Exactly 🏆
Awesome example,made light work of that timber.👌
did you guys get that done in one day? when i gotta rig the whole spar down i always give myself an extra day, negative rigging spars kills my hips and back.
What brand is the blue rope . Must be very strong to hold all that weight that is on the logs
I'm curious as what size/type of rigging rope that is as well...please let me know if you find out
August and Damion and crew are the best
Takes a hell of a climber to be checking logs like that. Just found your videos. Big ups guys 👊 .. climber kyle, Michigan
Beats carrying the entire bull rope around the tree 3 times all day! LOL
Why did you slap all the knots with white powder? Thanks !
Now that’s tree work.
Sell the crane, I say it again! 😂
So I prefer trimming. Tree preservation. But mannnn do I LOVE hogging down big timber! Nice rigging!
So kewl.
Saw something similar in neighbors yard s few yrs ago. Close yo house and fences.
Amazed how they dropped them straight down.
Way to go guys.
Good show sir. Cheers.
I want to be just like you lol awesome stuff
This was a monster negative rig job, nice job!
Beautiful work
how many picks do you think you could take with the crane on that ?
I remember this job. The limbs were trees itself
Nikolas Sekerka - Not quite. It's only Pine.
That's something you say when you have Oak limbs that are 40' long and 26" thick.
Yea but west coast guys only mess around with evergreens so .....
Alex Sotnyk - Now, Now..... Let's not be judgemental....
Yes only evergreens over here, we’ve never done any other kind of tree.
Not even the big spreading oaks, maples, cottonwoods, locusts, ash, madrones etc. etc. in videos, on this channel. . .not those either. 😶
We use a single bollard stein and it works slick. I wish mine had the hand crank setup.
what was the purpose of the powder that was slapped on?
If Hollywood had half a clue they would hire you to edit all the Terminator movies
It's always good to look back at the way you used to do things. Perhaps a job is coming when you can't reach with the crane. Then out comes all the big rigging again. What do you throw on the sap, talcum powder?
flour
Brilliant stuff..
Hey buddy what size rope is that blue rig in line you're using
Oh yeah, you guys are BAD-ASS!
Darn, if your job isn't dangerous, thanks for sharing
It's only as dangerous as we make it
I have to ask how do you ever get use to the shakes like when you're rigging big chunks.That was knocking the hell out of it with ever piece.
just be the the shock absorber, no big deal really
Awesome! It's this video that made me go out and buy a Stein bollard 😁
Whats up scoot?. Nice video August !!
It's lots more than courage. But still, The Courage.
Great job putting this video together
Great job guys !!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Ur flipline is under the ring inside the rigging line... why not over it? Not enought space over it because of the open facecut?
Because if he gets shook violently. Both attachment points won't pop off the top of the stem
More of this. Pure climbing is so satisfying :)
Cracking video! Question - at 0:47 it looks like you are anchoring the safebloc through an x-ring? It’s hard to make out. If so, what’s the objective?
It cinches up easier and provides a little bit of space between the safebloc and the tree.
August Hunicke - Thank you.
Lol thats cool and probly gonna be a big help when theres no crane access. So how was you feeling just before you sent the first chunk out? Im always bitin saw chain in half when on a deck removal or whenever im catchin wood. Biggest ive takin is double firewood 32 to 36in though nice work August , You guys are the premier crew in oregon for sure. I saw the how to with Reg on that riggin, Gotta be a blast once you know its gonna do what its supposed too.
Yeah, exactly, with the right stuff and crew it’s just a happy day and no stress.
Awesome and perfect.
That..... is..... AWESOME!!!!! 😎👊❤️🌲
Cool. I don't remember this one. Keep staying safe!
Such a majestic beard! Where'd it go?! :(
Great video august. Can you explain the process at 0:37. How does that system work as to controlling the load ?? Thank you
Two ropes turned to one to make handling easier during the catch. Prusiks set even tension a little ways back giving room to let it run. Extra safeblock to further ease friction on the hands?
You’ll have to make a vid of how you set this up
1.48, nice chassis stood on the deck...
I’d love a video going over doubled up rigging (ie 2 lines when blocking down). Great video! Plans on putting out a longer one of the same job?
Maybe someday when I start teaching
August Hunicke Understandable. Any way, nicely done.
Thanks
those crane people put a new LMI in yet ? stay safe and smart fellas .
Not yet
Done right, done well, done safe. How could the client not be happy. Happy clients = referrals.
welp here goes my morning routine....august hunicke and buckin' billy in no particular order, ROCK ON!
Check out my channel :)
Absolute pros
What kind of marketing and advertising do you do?
Just youtube
What about when you first started your own business
Yellow pages
Really professional...👏💪💪
listen i've basically been here since *day 1* guy; I know you've got skill no need to prove anything here, but otherwise great work & professionalism.
*per-usual*
Daner winde missed you 👊🏼😎😁
Epic!
What was the powder? I'm definitely going to do that this summer, on over night sap!
Flour
@@AugustHunicke for what? What does it do for a dead tree? Stop the sap from getting all over the rope perhaps ?
whiteknight 69 ya
@@whiteknight6976 and you, your clothes. Not all trees are dead. If you leave a pine, with fresh cut in hot summer sun, you'll have a hole lot of sap.
@@selfemployed1338 I realized that after using my common sense & reading thru all the comments ;)
Good timing on the cuts and music.
This was made before a married Damian & this was testing out the new double GCRS stein to see how it'd handle the big stuff & it passed with flying colours, i think this was before the crane & new staff too.
Like the blood stop on the wounds 👍
Sick video, I bet you would pick that sucker now. Stay safe 👊
Brutal!
Sweet video Michael Bay
👊🏼😁
@@AugustHunicke Al jokes aside . You've got it dialed in man .. I like how you have a idea/vision and you make it into a beautiful video .
P.s. anybody reading this comment please don't hesitate to go and subscribe to my CZcams channel if you like my content .
Serious weight there!
powder What is it?.I need to try it!
Flour
@@AugustHunicke Going to try it tomorrow on a pine removal. Maybe it will make my Speedline kit run even faster !
It’s just to keep pitch from getting on our nice ropes
What's up august 😆 good shows.💪
Bad ass!
OMG youre my hero, of what I would be, If I wernt on Ireland, and had tiny trees! ..... (thats a Limerick btw bro not a direct hate speech crime towards you "used to be irish")

THAT, ladies and gents, is how to make a recommendation... ! ! ! = )
