"My Tree is Too Tall” (we hear this all the time) 

I’ve been doing tree work for a few months and just recently took on 3 large 110’ pines where most of the limbs had to be rigged. Was able to fell the trees in 4 cuts. I’ve done a lot in my life but I will tell you this was one of the most exhausting things I’ve done to date. You make it look like a breeze August.

The lawn is saved. Pretty amazing how efficient speedlining can be and even better when your team applies the technique as sport. I'm sure the customers were as impressed and mesmerized by the process as the RU-vid audience is.

Thanks for the hard work August...all the content is appreciated.

As an old man, who had some tall trees taken down around my house let me explain why old people cut down tall trees. A tree falling on the house is a much bigger deal. In our younger days we'd just take our chain saw and cut it off the house and take some plywood and patch up the hole until the roofers got there to fix the roof. We're too old for that and injuries we suffer from a tree falling on the house are much more life threatening. The tree debris that fall on the roof is a problem. We're too old to get on the roof. It's hard to find someone to come over to your house to take a few limbs off the roof.

Thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot from you! My Mom had a tree that was coming down and I was able to keep a sketchy company from getting the job. They didn’t know how to rig a branch to bring it down! So I stopped Mom from hiring them and went with another company. During the cut, I found out that the Foreman and two of the crew watch you also. We had a little bonding moment on their break!!

Wild strawberries are also known as fraises du bois (strawberries of the woods). They're used to make Fraise liqueur because of excellent, subtle flavor.

Absolutely amazing job. Really enjoyed how much you went out of the way for the homeowner, to make sure no shrubs or spots of grass were injured during the process.

I love everyone's chirps and the sayings you come up with. Love the little hop before Jeff puts a branch down on the speed line.

Wanted to say I wish I had a guy like you on my crew over the past 23 years and recently just saw you on you tube, I worked mainly high and low power utility lines where machinery couldn't go. Absolutely stellar and keep up the outstanding work!!

A shrubbery! -Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang, zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringnmmm.

August, Been a viewer for some time now, Have enjoyed it all. Be safe sir, Blessings always, Just me and June living life in beaumont ca. as a boy i lived in grants pass, redwood ave i believe, used to walk to the old barn market for bazooka joe bubble gum, great memories for me

Jeff "where ya want it" Shrubber. Cool job, great video. As always. 😁

That speedline rigging is pure magic. Jeff "to the driveway" Schroeder is the man..... 😎👊 MonkeyBeaver crew gettin' done again! Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲 Randy

Red Cedars are one tree i wont cut on my property unless they are badly damaged or unhealthy .

Yes the bigger one's usually sag more but Jeff handles them well 😉

Another GREAT one! Your SPEEDLINING placed all those cut limbs on a diagonal angle to the 'protected pavement' and OFF the customer's grass as asked. He must have told the wife, in the window, "MARTHA, he obeys me and cuts the limbs and they FLY above ground for his crew to gather!" Thank you AUGUST!!!

I get vertigo just watching,looking down through my iPad! Reply have to know what your doing at that hight! Great to watch from the safety of my seat.

Saves a lot of trips across the lawn 👊

Make it fun and exciting. I want to see you ride the speed line from the tip top to the driveway. Maybe follow a couple large branches for a soft skid to stop.

I’m in the process of becoming an Arborist, and I’m not scared of heights, but I’m looking at how you are on that skinny little tree and I can’t lie I’m kinda like 😬😬😰 hope I’m not too scared to go up this high

August you have great bunch of guys! Are they believers like you? been praying for your back and family.HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

You have the best crew! Love your videos.

looking at the two manhole covers, I'm guessing that the owners septic system is under the lawn. he was probably told not to drive over it because compacting the soil could reduce the life span of the leach field.

It was called the Neverland Ranch. I lived about 30 miles from it.

"A little extra weight and you get more sag." A little more years and you get more sag too !

😂😂 actually laughing out loud. right after the ride. "my parents didn't have enough money either" and strawberry cam lol. "Jeff shrubber"

I gotta tell you at 22:10 was probably the funniest interaction of anyone trying to start a conversation and not make it awkward I’ve ever seen in my life.

Good job keeping your composure explaining how you were going to cut the second stump low too!! Lol!

Would really be worth it to you to get a bli300 battery. Lasts almost twice as long. Just a little bit heavier...love your content, and got to use my suspenders last Thursday... So comfortable

“When it comes off give it a flingy” -August Hunicke These are nuggets of wisdom, I hope you youngin’s are writing this shih down. The editing on these are gold. Sending a limb down to Damien like a rollercoaster, I feel guilty that I didn’t have to pay for that ride 😂

Nice works! Like seeing the 200t back in the vids

August, Tim the Plumber from Kansas City, I’ve been a Master Plumber for 26 years now but I’ve been watching your videos for 3-4 years now, does that count as apprenticeship towards becoming a Master Arborist? Thinking of changing careers after 35 years in the plumbing industry 😉 Love your videos and crew!

Looks like a Fun job that day. Saint Woody

August, how small are you comfortable with a tree top being and does the tree species play into your decision.

A Master at work is a Beautiful Thing to watch

Nice work...Asphalt Jeff is a real powerhouse at speed lining😄!

Great video August. Jeff Shrubber and Damien Strawberry patch 😂😂😂😂. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next video.

Hit the bullseye with that dead fir tree. Nice job. Always enjoy your videos!

"Risk your life even more so you don't hurt my grass" yeah not happening...but good on ya guys for having balls like that

Interesting calling your client "Lawn Gestapo"

Howdy August, Damien and Jeff, enjoy the speed lining especially with Jeff "Shrubmeister" Schroeder anchoring the line. August did you have Damien send up some Dramamine to counter the effects of the "Shrubmeister" shaking down branches? Have a Day! ;~)

Another awesome video. Have a safe and happy 4th of July.

Awesome, and another one bits the dust.

You guys are the best.

I'm here for a single bit, Shrubber signature, silver slayer, please!

What a profesional idk shit bout climbing trees or cutting it but you look like you on ur best doing this incredible

The lawn survived minus the crater from the camera :-D

Great video Mr.Hunicke

Jeff is wearing the coolest shirt ever!

WEEEEEEEEEE then a drop straight down to the ground... (lol) Thanks for the video and the rides down in today's video. Hope the crew / family and you are doing well. Take care - be safe - Happy 4th of July coming up and always God Bless.

Dope vlog august 💪🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 last fell was sniper quality just had to side pulls myself last week with pines here in Pa

Always professional

We have a large ( by local standards) blue spruce that I think is a beautiful tree. She has a picture of it at shoulder height when the house was being built. Now it towers up and alongside the living room, have trimmed the branches which now overhang a portion of the roof, and the insurance man thinks it’s gotta go. I have had five or six years of appreciation added to its existence by conveniently being really busy with other projects, whilst cutting truck loads of cedar, ash, apple, and maple that are really in the way. I think this fall might be it’s demise though. Gotta have a place to sleep ya know………

I like to watch the vid every so often to think of talking crap to Damien about how crappy this customer's grass is. Haha

Love it--"Whatya think, better than Disneyland?"

Never Never Land! Was the name of his young boys attraction!

Love the vids, Dan from New Zealand! Just wondering where abouts this is? Canada? Vancouver?

Very good

watch out for the knights who say nic

"Kevin Heart" Damien you silly goose "The Driveway Dude" fo Jeff and the Chuckle'n Climber fo You August this vid made me smile inside and out Thanks fo all the laugh'n boyz it is contagious😃🍀🤙🌲

Haha you guys need the gopro coverage haha if you buy it, it allows you to break them and take them to where you got them and they give you a brand new one for no cost :) it's a handy thing to have haha I use gopros on the top front of my freestyle drone I built and it takes a beating sometimes haha and they just hand me a new one lol ❤️

Great job! Great footage! Couldn’t you have saved yourself some of the hassle by just dropping it into the woods?

01:54 me: *sits in northern Germany in my living room on my pc me: "weeeEEEEEEE!" :D

Nice video. I need some of those Monkey Beavs..

Thanks!

More like "monkey beaver slow line kit" driveway Jeff. 🤣

I think Jeff could probably speedline the world. When they put one of those wires up into space for an elevator and not mess about with rockets anymore, Jeff will BE the man.

Your tree cutting “shiitake” is strong

I really wanted to see the very tiny man who set out on the limb and filmed the trimming close up.

Hey August! Love the content as an arborist that works in the Quebec region. Just wondering if you climbed up to set your climb and speed Line or if they were set from ground? And if fron ground how tall approx was the tree?

It's called Neverland Ranch, homes

Pssst, ask around, get more of those FANTASTIC speed line bits at Monkey Beaver. Sorry, never mind.

nice property

HELL YOU ARE GOOD BROTHER BP NZ

I didn't get to go to never land ranch either ☹🤣🤣

What pants you typically wear? I assume they saw proof but easy to climb n.. chaps suck man, I’m looking for some saw proof pants that you can actually move n. I just cut firewood but you still need to be able to move around and chaps are stupid hot here n the south 11 months out of the year!

"Into the woods🎶

Can you please. Tell me how you do your center rope when your come down cutting

I like seeing more of Jeff in the videos... let's here a joke from Jeff seems like he's got good jokes😂

"That just made Jeff hungry" 😂😂

Hey August is that stuff hanging off the branches of the trees is it the same thing we call Spanish moss down south?

Zipline Schroeder?

👍👍👍

"FAST LANE" Schroeder!

Scary Shrubber, scaring Shubbers.

1:20 that reminds me of the video because we can

Hey, what's the devices called that you attach to the branch and then the rope for after you cut it, it slides down the rope. What are they called? This video is my inspiration for how I want to cut trees

I guess you needed a sweatshirt cuzza the altitude?

Jeff said yeah it's good but it's not much of it though I was laughing so hard the way he said that I was funny

Michael Jackson's NEVERLAND...and kids under 12 were always free. Can't believe I just said that...but I did. LOL

Stay off my lawn. I had to laugh. My neighbors had trees removed and the climber who turned around on my lawn when arriving for the estimate was dropping the trees on my lawn and smashed some stuff in my yard. When I went to tell him to stop he pretended he couldn’t hear. I had the police explain it with a no trespassing order and he lost the rest of the job without payment. Not my tree, not my problem, and worst off all he had to do was ask to use the lawn, and not damage anything.

If you run out of slings, I know where you can get some more!

They should have not took out that beautiful cedar tree

MJ - Neverland Valley

What’s up August 🤩👌😊nice 😊

Hey August! I’d love to know what brand flip line you use and where you bought it from? Thanks!

🤘🤘🤘 greetings from germany

Hi August! What size bar do you have on the 540? Does it effect the performance a lot when you go above the 14" stock bar? Best regards colleague from Europe

How are you capturing the 3rd person view up in the tree? A drone or something else?
