I was just thinking these last couple days how I miss seeing your content. Thank you again and as always for taking the time to share your work with us.
Been a while since I've seen you and you amaze me every time. Your Precision with a 90 percent cut and 10% undercut and then hand breaking it for a perfect manual drop made me say wow out loud. Great work to a true professional
Is there an advantage to using the battery saw in a high pressure situation from the reduced noise? You strike me as a thinker and I would guess with the adrenaline these jobs produce anything that helps to create a better environment for clear thinking would help. Also, I’d like to express a thought on why people must love you and your videos. I think watching people do dangerous jobs in less than pristine conditions kinda like the crab fisherman on Deadliest Catch, is irresistible. Love, safety, and good health to you and yours not just this time of the year but always. Jim
A man who has mastered the art of climbing and dismantling sketchy trees deserves the Blessing of dying peacefully in his sleep on the day of his choosing. God Bless you all!
I’m a climber as well and hats off to you for wanting to be in that dead tree. I love how people wait til something completely dead to get it removed n then don’t want to pay much for it. I be talking to myself in that tree the whole time to keep my mind same. You must be very light weight person. Great job
What an impressive removal. You're like a ninja dismantling that big bad snag with your quiet little battery saw with no chipper roar in the background; it makes for an interesting juxtaposition of high drama, low sound. Super cool. I have been a subscriber for a long time now and I always take notice of the steady, calm, methodical way you go about your work. Lot's of respect coming from here Reg. You clearly have a great foundation of knowledge (or faith maybe) to be able to work comfortably in such skinny dead tops. I question whether I will ever get to that point.
Reg, that looked like a good bit of work. Thanks for showing the "process" of what you are doing and also the drop zone that you were working with. Very nicely done. Sure did look like a "nasty little tree". Thanks again and keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🌲 Randy
Appreciated the "sling/biner/sling augmented hand catch" method used on the larger branches to manage forces aloft. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Reg.
Ladies and gentlemen, the clinking that you hear is not the aluminum bits in Reg’s rack that would be his giant brass balls. To say that that tree was dead is an understatement that tree was more like driftwood. Where is German that’s what you called many years of experience to crawl up on something that dead and come out safe and drop it in the space next to somebody’s home on that little path just goes to show you how professional he is
Thanks for the content. I’m under the weather all weekend and still today. First time in at least 8 years. This was a great pick me up, Reg. Stay safe as always.
Madrona are so beautiful but are usually no fun to climb. A good friend of mine rode one down last year after cutting a bigger top on a dead one and got off lucky with just some broken bones. Nice job controlling the forces by climbing higher and cutting smaller.
Finally someone explains the bypass (snapcut) technique properly. Nice work as always, & you have the best background scenery. STAY SAFE HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Since this video posted I know you lived, but still a tree that most probably wouldn't have spurred up...myself included:) I used to cut a lot of these petrified trees for firewood...boy do they burn really nice...hard on the chains though.
Madrones can die and stand there For years with totally solid trunk and crown. Best firewood! When they do come down it’s typically a failure of the base or roots, as you said. Doesn’t help that they’re almost always heavy learners
Nicely done, it's so nice to see another of your videos. It must be a little unnerving to climb those hard trees when they angle off to the side like that.
So chilled to watch. Love the ambient music and I'm so obsessed with tree work . I hope i stay in this mindset for a long time. Thanks for the videos and skill its a pleasure to watch.👍👍
The comments about how hard the wood is to spike relates to all the dead Euc we have here in Oz, feels like concrete sometimes. Just to get the spur in 3-4mm is a task sometimes. Have a good Christmas Reg.
I imagine that was like cutting stone, Reg...with a meter wide landing zone.....outstanding work. 👍 Nice view, though. 😉 Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🌲
I always thought about getting pole spurs for madrone but havent yet, they can be an awkward climb dead or alive especially in the rain good to see ya Reg.
Is there any other thin-barked species out West that you guys encounter on a regular basis? I guess Cali has their Eucalyptus...aren't many of the Spruce thin enough to warrant short spikes?
@@samuelluria4744 alder trees, maybe a scouler willow here and there but madrone is the most awkward climb for me sometimes they grow so squirrely your off balance alot. Tying into a tree nearby and swingin into the madrone canopy is my choice but you dont always get to do that.
Love watching your videos. I'm a pretty new climber myself, 2 yrs is all. I do have a question if you get time to answer that would be amazing. How do you size up trees? Myself, at this point and just seeing a video, I don't think I would've climbed that tree. I'm just looking to learn more the easy way. Thanks
You handle 300 branches and never think twice about it, then that one friggen branch you go to man handle and as soon is it comes over you think “I’ve made a serious mistake.” Lol
Great video again Reg, just one question regarding the assessment of the stability of the trunk foot resp. root before you climb in? You have any theory (e.g. last storm didn't bring it down so it has to be stable enough), criteria (e.g. no putrefaction visible, sound) or just experience resp. "feeling" best regards from Germany, Peter
Thanks Reg ,for your time and effort to make these films much appreciated. Warrington UK. I assume you’ve had no issues with the rope runner pro as you’re still using it.
Hey Reg, Merry Christmas. I notice a few minutes into the video you got a climbing line tied into the tree next to you. I was wondering how you did that and how you got the rigging line tied in? Did you bring both ropes with you on your initial climb? Thanks for sharing a new video with us.

I've never climbed madrone, but that looks terrifying climbing with potentially weak roots! Stay safe and great content as always.

I would just be happy with peacefully in my sleep, even without choosing...
I wanna die on the battlefield....preferably with my guts hanging out.
I was thinking the same thing as Dave below. I like the slow careful way you worked in this fragile dead tree.
Smooth as silk Reg. A master of your craft. Keep the footage coming as I never get tired of seeing you impress me
You are a legend I don't know many men that would have did that tree and I'm being honest I would have been sketched out being how dead it was

That tree still had years of life left in it...🤣😂 wtf homeowners?? Great job, Merry Christmas Reg!!
Treading lightly in those dead tops is the difference between life and death….. nicely done man.

Reg moves through that dead tree like smoke

of what you are doing and also the drop zone that you were working
with. Very nicely done. Sure did look like a "nasty little tree".
Thanks again and keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🌲

Very nice work on this dead stem Reg thanks for posting always great to see you along your road in the mornings on our way to work.
Couldn't wait to finally see another video thank you so much reg God bless you my friend
FINALLY A REG VIDEO
Brilliant thanks great to watch so calm

He only needs the saddle to bear the sack he uses for this tree
Cheers to you and Dave! Excellent!
always a pleasure watching Reg's vids.
Great to see a video from you Reg. All the best
Keep up the videos Reg we all enjoy them .💪
Top notch work, Reg, great to see another video.
You are a madman! Love it! Great climbing as always.
Good to see a video from you Mr. Coates. Always happy to see you. Madrone is so dense and heavy that even a healthy one mis dicey. Thanks again.
I'm a 53 year old ex climber but watching your approach to work is extremely satisfying, thanks for the effort you put in and stay safe!
Missed your content Reg. 👌. Many of your jobs are very elegantly done.
Thanks for the content. I’m under the weather all weekend and still today. First time in at least 8 years. This was a great pick me up, Reg.
Stay safe as always.
always a pleasure to get a glimpse into your work, all the best
Enjoyed that and learned something. Thanks Reg.
Mr. Coates your work ing excellent to watch. Thank you for the video.
You get to cut in the most awesome pristine places I’ve ever seen . Thanks for sharing.
Spooky tree with small drop zone dismantled with almost zen like calm. Hats off to you Reg. Thanks for all the decent videos.
I've been climbing for 6 months now. I am in envy of your abilities, nothing short of brilliant.
Madrona are so beautiful but are usually no fun to climb. A good friend of mine rode one down last year after cutting a bigger top on a dead one and got off lucky with just some broken bones. Nice job controlling the forces by climbing higher and cutting smaller.
Nice to see you back again cheers from Cheshire uk
This is tree work in the real world! Awesome video.
Good to see you still climbing !
Very nice!! I always enjoy the vids!!
Well that looked hard work in the top of that dead tree! Tiny drop zone and cold weather..... Well done. Thanks for the share, inspiring!
Happy Holidays to you and the family Reg. 😁😁😁
Thank you for the video Reg.
Nicely done love watching your video 🇬🇧
I can see the wind ripping on the water below and the chips flying up and over your head. Great footage Reg.
My hat goes off to you my friend 🤜🤛

Very satisfying snapping noises from that dead wood.
Finally someone explains the bypass (snapcut) technique properly. Nice work as always, & you have the best background scenery.
STAY SAFE
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Always a pleasure. Thank's
You’ve got some kahunas for climbing that high in that thing
@12:30 Thanks for trimming my beard Reg.

As always amazing content
You had me hood winked for the beginning when you were lightly dressed. Then came out the wooly. Yup it is December Mary Christmas.
Where you at? It was 55° and sunny in Jersey today...after two days of 45mph winds...
Several days here lately of T-shirt work...

You do good work 👍
Ever so gingerly with a cup of finesse.
Another surgery done well.
Another great video. Ur a animal man. 👍
A 👍 before I even watch,, i know it’s gonna be be good 👍😉
Thanks Reg!
Wow that wood sounded tough as nails. 🙏❤️🙏
Merry Christmas 🎄
I always thought about getting pole spurs for madrone but havent yet, they can be an awkward climb dead or alive especially in the rain good to see ya Reg.
Pole spikes are an absolute game-changer in arbutus, highly recommend

I’ve done my share of trees like that!
Nice job brotha, that shit was CRISPY!
You handle 300 branches and never think twice about it, then that one friggen branch you go to man handle and as soon is it comes over you think “I’ve made a serious mistake.” Lol
Wouldn’t catch me climbing that. I would have just sent the thing into the lake and peaced out!
Great video again Reg, just one question regarding the assessment of the stability of the trunk foot resp. root before you climb in?

Weird, I was just wondering when you'd upload another vid. Cheers, mate
Thank you Reg. 💯🤘
awesome views and very nice edit. Was there a way to check the roots?
Thanks Reg ,for your time and effort to make these films much appreciated. Warrington UK. I assume you’ve had no issues with the rope runner pro as you’re still using it.
No real issues. Its great on some lines, terrible on others
@@Recoates what rope are you using with the rope runner pro in the video? thanks
About time
Hey Reg, Merry Christmas. I notice a few minutes into the video you got a climbing line tied into the tree next to you. I was wondering how you did that and how you got the rigging line tied in? Did you bring both ropes with you on your initial climb? Thanks for sharing a new video with us.
