Hello Reg, I don't mind the extra talking as you described. It lets us know exactly what and why you are going to do something. All of your tree videos are instructional and your nature videos are just plain beautiful. Thank you and stay safe.
Really glad to see the anticlimax rather than an incident and bailout to the adjacent tree and who knows what to the tiny home. They say good luck is the residue of hard work. You deserved this one and thanks for sharing!
If you ever need extra motivation just keep in mind your videos are helping keep a lot of guys safe. I work in western Washington and your videos are invaluable, thank you very much for making them!
It pays to be methodical in our planning as to avoid injury or death a good refresher, we a lot of times rush in without thinking not good.This is really educational!👍
Fantastic video. Great to see how a pro approaches a situation that is unknown and prepares for whatever may come. These videos are so useful as "experiential" education through just seeing more than one ever could as a single worker. Watching many of your videos has changed how I approach moving heavy loads and situations with stored energy. Thinking through the ramifications if something were to go wrong - even though I don't work with trees. Thank you for taking the time to help us all think and learn.
Always a pleasure to see vid from you Reg. We did a plywood on a greenhouse trick a couple of weeks ago on a big Copper Beech. The greenhouse got too hot and the auto vent opened, cracking itself, doh! Clients fault they fessed up.... oh and we had a garden full of spectators to boot. Very testing job with subbies and a MEWP. Bill paid, all happy and the Tree Officer happy . L&R from UK
Always awesome to watch a master at work been watching your channel for awhile now never gets old watching your skills keep up the good work bless you brother
Always want to watch and read the comments on your vids. Never a wasted word and knowing I'm watching an experienced/thoughtful climber makes it more satisfying. I agree with August about the great camera angles too. Thanks for your efforts.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your work Reg. I appreciate seeing how you went about getting it done. All the talking and the "lack of drama" doesn't make it any less interesting to me. 😉👍 Well done to both you and Aaron. Thanks again and keep yourselves safe! Randy
Got a leaning tree I'm hoping to have the chance to work on. I'm glad to hear you say that sometimes its hard to tell why it leans like that. I'm wondering the same on my case. Thanks for posting this.
I enjoy watching your videos Reg as you methodically talk through what you're going to do. No unwanted adrenaline rush when you've got experience. After 35 years doing the work my mate and I have invested in helmet intercoms( Pfanner)- unbelievable! I still shout though! All the best, Alasdair Mackay.
Hey Reg we love the talking and most of all the action of you getting up and setting up. From start to end would be really good. Alot of people don't really do that but alot of people could learn alot from that. Really appreciate your videos. Keep it up.
Excellent shot with the grapple, Batman. Nice job. It seems that the jobs that I remember or stick out in my career are the ones I wish I could have recorded to share with others as you do. Keep up that smooth operation sir
Did a removal of 16" live oak leaner directly over a house, too high to cut from the roof, too low to hitch logs from it. I straddled this thing like a horse and had to cut small slivers and hand them down. What a nightmare. And it was 100° Florida humidity, all sun and nothing to tie into. That tree hurt me. Lol.
Same deal with a hickory I’m finishing on Monday. It’s around 30in at the base and the last 20ft or so of trunk is gonna be slivered down. It’s on the bank of the alafia river ina pretty steep spot and it rainbows Over the customers back deck and house roof
I think we were all anticipating a sudden release of tension when you got past that hemlock, good to see we were wrong and it was a bit more gentle. Nicely done as per usual, see you when we see you mate.
I thought it was great. I saw that tree looking up and I was like no way, then seeing you then descending into that emerald forest like that above it, not knowing whether it was snagged up hard in there ready to recoil, I was on the edge of my seat for a few minutes there. Great video.
Well done. I expected the tree to come back hard after you cut the top or pass the hemlock. Was probably a bit nerve-racking even with a good escape route. Great job
HEY Reg as always nice work, I may have asked this before, what size batt are you using? I'm still running the 2.1ah BLi80 I got with the saw 6 years ago just wondering if the newer batteries do better in colder weather, seem to lack when in sub-freezing temps thanks; TheTreeGuy
Good job reg. I chuckled when you let it free “anti climatic”, it’s always such a relief though isn’t it. I was wondering if that was gonna be too tight to release and you’d have to place another set up lower. Snow load was my guess for sure. Funny it barely had any give being green like that. Good video, stay safe bud
That release was anticlimactic but the tension watching you get there was worth the price. I'm glad you're okay. I was ready for a rodeo. Thanks for posting.
We all did wait to see you fly through the air, but you prevented that outcome and all was handled very nicely. Great stuff! Hope you continue to take us along. On my part it is always well worth the video, if you will. Nick, North West Farmer
Very interesting. Thank you! Only one minor suggestion. In the beginning, when you were driving into the job, there was a rattle that was just a little loud. It could have been something against the front glass or the camera. Also, I'm curious. Did you cut down the other small tree that you were originally tied to in a criss cross? It looked like it had been topped. I like the discussion of the job on the way driving it. It made it much easier to understand your plans for the job.
It’s not so much about the technique what you use to reach the goal, but more about surroundings and tall trees, since we don’t have them here. It’s enjoyable to watch, regardless of what you are babling about all the time, haha. Thanks man, keep m coming.
The 'Babling' as you call is, appears to have been recieved as insightful dialogue and task specific considerations by others, if we are to believe the majority of comments on this particular video and many of its predecessors. None of which are contrived or pre rehearsed, I should add. In future, remember the mute button on your device.
Wait up, since u had a srt canopy anchor how did you get back into that tree? or how did u retrieve ur rope if u just went down to the ground? i haven't tried srt yet.
I applaud your calmness and methodical thinking. I try to apply a similar train of thought to my own jobs.......who are the 9 losers that didn't like this video?
Hey Reg. What’s your process for bidding a job like this when you aren’t totally sure what your approach will be which then determines how much extra time you might need.
I knew Id be able to finish both parts of the job in the day, assuming we'd be able to proceed with the job as originally planned and discussed with the homeowner. If that plan needed to radically change due safety concerns from something that was disguised or hidden from view from the ground, Id have stopped and discussed it with the homeowner first, renegotiating the cost if need be. It was an oddball tree, and they knew it wasn't a straight forward take down.
@@Recoates as someone who is also lower mainland based but on the mainland.. I hope it's not to invasive to ask what do you aim for to gross on a day of work to be able to make a decent day's pay and to cover your expenses for that day, ie workers taxes wages fuel insurance truck or equipment costs dumping costs etc incurred for that day, say you were going to quote a job for me and you needed one groundsman the tree is basic enough to cut in a days work what would you roughly charge for that, I'm having an incredible amount of trouble quoting jobs
Ahh yes I was right. Your whole intro i was thinking that was sooke road. Confirmed once you passed the tire shop. Knew you were on the island just didnt quite know where.
@@Recoates i thought so love ur videos. Ur a real Professional would love to meet u. I've been doing tree work for 18 years hopefully one day I can be as good as you
U hate doing bent or multiple curved tree takedown lol...never got used to it even after 14 years Once I took the branches off the last one with no tree near to anchor from, or it freed the tree and it was moving and whipping all over the place...coming down the trunk while trying to stay on the back and not end up on the underside was a nightmare..but got ot done
It's very bizarre seeing a Brit hardened by the northwest and all things glorious in its nature. It does something to a man you cant get from a posh british village or hipster city in california.
That guy totally threw judgment out the window. Them guys don't last unfortunately. I pray for them dudes. Palms are among the most dangerous grass "trees" there are. Many die in them every year.

Should've made a viagra liquid solution and poured it on the root system. The next day that tree would've been straight up and down
Hopefully for no more than 4 hours, then it should consult with a tree doctor.

Interesting , I always learn a few things or at least reminded of key things watching your video's, greatly appreciated , cheers
Well done Reg great to see you looking well in these times !!
you sir are brillant! Dont know how your popped into my feed but what a treat. Keep up the good work. Brillant stuff!
You pulled a major spider move there....stringing from that one tree top to another. Great stuff Reg. , thanks for posting.
I do it alot..high anchor ,less steep angle to work from saves you from bring on flipline and spikes constantly
I think we were all anticipating a sudden release of tension when you got past that hemlock, good to see we were wrong and it was a bit more gentle. Nicely done as per usual, see you when we see you mate.
Thanks Reg. I always enjoy your thoughts and work sir.
Super interesting and unusual. Cool to see your approach dropping down onto the curver.
That was a gnarly tree. Never seen something like that. great execution. Keep it up, stay safe.

Interesting job! We live visiting Vancouver island from Yorkshire.

Quiet car you have there in the beginning 🤪. Nice vid
Nice work, Reg! How do you retrieve your srt line from your anchor point?
I had to climb back up this time, to get the camera too
For me it was fine, thanks Doc Regs cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺

Not your everyday climb for sure. Thanks for the end discussion also - it was good information.

Enjoying the new videos!
We get a lot of bent trees in Alaska. Snow or freezing rain.
