Poor Man's Grapple Saw 

August and Damian did a beautiful job on my Crepe Myrtle! The oak tree in the backyard only needed some dead branches and stragglers out. They did a fantastic job caring for my flowers and do dads!👏👏😊

Love your poor man grapple We used that quite a bit when I worked at Knott's Berry Farm. We had lots of annual flower beds and orders to raise trees in them, as you show in your video you can get a lot done quickly with no damage. Nice work!

Substantial difference! You can tell that Damian is definitely back 😅 The tree trimming is a very noticeable difference . Many lessons from you, August. Thank you for sharing 👌

Great job guys. Happy Damien is back. August and Damien best Duo ever 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Speedy and fluid little bowline technique you got there, I showed some folks your running bowline flip method you showed in an old video, I use it all the time now. Priceless thank you

Don't sell that big chipper! You will definitely regret that! ove your videos. Love you August and Damien

I've used that grapple method quite a bit over flower beds and if stuff is just out of reach over a roof. It is a chore, but one guy can do it if you use a polesaw in conjunction.

That's the fastest bowline I've ever seen tied!!!

Bump caps have been around for at least twenty years. I've always wanted to try one. It's essentially a baseball cap on top of hard hat suspension.

Probably my favorite thing on this channel is watching you tie knots. It's amazingly fluid. I can't recall which video it was, but you were tying a series of them without even thinking. (wasn't the focus of the content) I swear you just WILLED the rope with your mind.

Everything Reon has was too big for that job !! Your grapple/saw was perfect for that job !! Really good thinking 👍😉

I want one of those patented baseball cap "hard hats"!!! :) I love your humor. Be safe out there.

Ok that was a cool trick August. I never thought to try that one. Even in retirement I am still learning the trade.

I have been using and teaching that Bowline method for more than 50 years, and even going further to making the bowline one handed.

Enjoyed the video. Nice work with your new "grapple".

Great technique on the bowline, I will learn that. also wanted to thank you for showing us the amazing carrick bend previously. Finally got a chance/remembered to implement it. Worked a charm

Wow- yeah that is a nice one. Natural bracing!

That is a very nice Crepe Myrtle! It has been well taken care of, it is interesting how easily the branches can meld on those. Good to see Damien back. Btw I love the bowline technique, I'll have to review that, it is very fast. My feeble brain takes things in stages, the first thing I see is an overhand knot, I'll have to process what happens after that when I get a little time to review things, Thanks for posting!

Haha how cool , we used a rake when I worked Davey 1992 my first pretend grapple was a rake. I then graduated to the pole clip lol

Pretty slick with that running bowline at the end👍 I always do the slip knot flipped over into a bowline. Cool video brother with that nice stick boom 😁

I normally speed thru RU-vid vids unlelss someone is a real fast talker. I'm going to have to slow you down to watch that fast bowline this time! Thanks!

Sheew buddy that crepe Myrtle looked great! Also have done the same thing with the pole to keep branches off stuff 😂

Hey August! Very nice pruning work on the Crepe. The grapple saw technique was great, there sure was a lot of delicate stuff under that area!

What a pretty backyard with Damien’s sawing and you catching! Excellent job on the previous crepe myrtle! Your area of the country is so beautiful!❤❤❤

Nice relaxing way to end a long day

I was doing that move years ago lol it does work really well as long as you don't over load it

Very nice teamwork. 😊

A poor TWO man grapple saw.......therefore a rich mans grapple saw😊

I literally told myself it must be too hot for hard hats 2 seconds before you mentioned your state of the art hard caps😂

Enjoyed the ropes tutor! Thanks.

That bowline tutorial was a little fast on the crucial spinning twisty step haha

The process of crepe myrtle leading to shared vascularity in the cambium layer is called "inosculation" which is a natural process common in thin barked trees similar to grafting. Grafting refers to the man made process of joing two trees. (But you probably knew that.)

Great work guys

Yer thats a good grapple. Budget friendly

Nice video welcome back Damian

DOOdads and whatnot saved! woohoo!

Great job guys!!

Keep your chipper August because you can bet your bottom dollar you will get some big chipping jobs and your new small chipper will not be capable of doing the job 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Have a beautiful day August, stay safe
