August Hunicke Videos

Or sit in the truck and hug you and tell you everything is going to be alright, or dry your tears and brush your hair softly till the sobbing stops.

At least I don't think there's an attachement for that...

Genuine LOL

If you guys like that video, you might like this unlisted video I made sometime back to vent against the PC industry bureaucracy. Not a public video but it made me feel better to work naturally and speak out, albeit quietly against the type A's (A, meaning a-hole of course) . . . Perhaps one of you gentlemen can embed this for me…

[August Hunicke]

I don't remember. Have you seen it before?

[August Hunicke]

It's unlisted so it will only show if you have the link.

[Levi]

Yes, you sent me a link in PM awhile back, I thought it was called kiss my ass or something like that great vid either way.

 

[August Hunicke]

Oh, I thought it was called that too. That's the name I went looking for a minute ago. I probably never named it that.

[August Hunicke]

Probably was worried YouTube wouldn't allow it or something.

Good call, thanks for sharing again. It would be great for the industry if it were public, in my opinion.

I've been one handing and doing the 'grab and toss' for a good part of my career. It's how I learned to cut from a bucket. Between the material handler and the 'grab and toss', I cannot remember the last time I had to rope down a limb in a tree. On the big stuff I have slings in the bucket that I use to rig the limb off itself, then either piece it out or grab it with the material handler and crane it down to the ground. On big vertical wood I can snap cut it, then go up and pluck it with the material handler.

 

[pete mctree]

That was real Treework August & your best video for a while - honest to the core. I often wonder how much you sanitise your videos for the YouTube armchair experts.

 

[TreeMuggs]

August, this is your best video, thank you for sharing. Keeping it real. The guy I learned from one-handed everything, literally. I rope more than he does, but I still one-hand plenty. Trick is knowing when its ok and when its not. The industry brass can act like nobody one-hands, but reality is reality.

Haters gonna hate, ain'ters gonna ain't

Great vid, nice change of pace.

Rope snap lowering is da bomb.

Is this because you are working alone? Grab and toss, cut and chuck whole trees sounds like a huge pita, unless you are working alone.

 

[Levi]

Hard on the body, no doubt!

Seldom work alone, but I'm a sub so I'm always working with different crews. Instead of having to depend on a stranger to rope for me, I just stack the stuff up for them so they can deal with it however they are going to deal with it. I'll cut small enough to handle and stack easily and try not to make a giant birds nest. And I try to pile up the logs separate from the brush. A lot like Aug was doing in the video, but I'll end up doing the whole tree like that (depending on ground obstacles and how it's getting cleaned up). If I have 3 guys standing there watching me then I'll just let everything fall and they can have something to do.

I have loved that video since you sent me that link a long time ago. I find myself watching it at least once a week

 

[MasterBlaster]

Concerning grabbing and tossing from a bucket, I'd tell the groundies that if they would be looking up at me then I'd toss it wind-rowed at their feet.

Not looking up? I'd toss it away from them.

 

[pantheraba]

Good, August. "Groundie says, "Kiss my ass, too!" Great non-edits!

 

[SeanKroll]

Brian, I wonder if you do, or have considered, zip lining to a fixed ground anchor, adjusting slack/ tension up top. Could save wear and tear.

 

[Mick!]

Yes great vid, nice rhythm, groundy keeping up, keeping everything clear. You're barely having to move.

Family fun!

 

[treebilly]

Thanks for that. Reminds me I need to get my oldest up in the trees again

Thank you, August!
