    I don't know what to say to you August but, you literally are genius at what you do. You're good at the geometry and all of the rules of gravity but the thing that's premier about you is keeping safety first. What a great talent you have. It's always enjoyable to watch your videos. Keep up the good work. Be safe.

    “I’m Superman when I’m bidding jobs”😂 ain’t that the truth. I’ve underestimated too many oak trees. I like how you keep the work clean. Less stubs to snag the rigging.

    JJ's 200T was singing! Also, magic hands on the rigging line, defending the chicken coup. True blessings, both. On the East coast, aviation has a visual for transitioning from ~8000' AGL, ESE into EWR (Newark) of the pair of "Round Valley" and "Spruce Run" reservoirs "uniquely adjacent" to each other that taken together provide distance bearing (VFR, of course). Thanks for the bird's/arbo's/drone's-eye tour of your location. Beautiful! 🌳

      You show up two weeks later ready to go full samurai mode only to realize that you’ve somehow underestimated your time while overestimating your abilities at the same time. DOH!! 🤦🏻

    You & crew do EVERYTHING to MILITARY PRECISION with NO CASUALTIES! Ya know, you guys cutting something is the last step with the first step(S) being analyzing what & how to proceed. Most of your pay is for *WHAT YOU KNOW - NOT NECCESSARILY WHAT YOU DO* Must be nice to star in that movie! Thank you for including us!

    Living in NY this is a majority of my trees. It's crazy laying in bed watching you but my body almost feels like I'm in the saddle, in the same position as you because I'm so used to it at this point 😂. You still make it look far easier than me even when these are my everyday trees. Top notch work August I aspire to be like you.

    I joyed this video, we hear in Kansas only get to work on trees like this one . In all the years I’ve only got to do 3 pine removals ! And got to use your speed line technique once ! The Crue thought it was cool , we speed lined right into the trailer.

    Our chainsaw/climbing tutor, at collage, used to call what we did "Pruning" and when we had to remove the whole tree, it was a "G.L.P." or "Ground Level Prune"! I got to GLP a LOT of trees during my 3 years at that college and I loved every second! 😂👍👍👍👍👍

    Such legend! I could watch you in your flow state and work for free and be content. You are the goat I wish your body would last forever so you can continue at the pace your heart craves. I can see it an feel it over the years of watching you. Like I said legend! And thankyou for the content editing must have taken forever and a headache and placement for good angles and shots!😂 that’s a whole job on its own.
    Blessings to you and your family. Smooth rope work btw whoever was running it.

    Enjoyed the video, that tree looked kind of tedious, that 200T was spraying a nice cloud of chips. I went aloft today, my climb weight at around 240 lbs kind of wore me out, specially with a hitch that wasn't grabbing, enjoyed the view for a while before I got to work. I'll work it out, the more I do it the more I like it. Blessings to you Sir, stay safe.

  • @davenkaopua4512
    @davenkaopua4512 Před 5 měsíci

    It’s hard to adjust but if you round turn your flip line around the trunk that you’re climbing on, when you lean back, it’s super tight and locks you in place especially on those really small bean poles plus when you get rattled when you are cutting wood off if your spurs give out you’re locked in place and not have to only rely on your repelling line

  • @davenkaopua4512
    @davenkaopua4512 Před 5 měsíci

    If you round turn your flip line, it’s hard to adjust positioning, but it locks you in If you’re spurs give out when you get rattled, you don’t only have to rely on your repelling line.

    Since you mentioned flying. Listening to the video through buds. Hearing the sound of freedom outside. F15E Eagles taking off. We're very close to an Airforce base and the departure/landing slot is just about 1/4 mile away. Nice video and great scenery.
