just want to add my thanks for taking the time to video your work . There's enough going on just sitting up the rigging and making the cuts, so I am sure setting up the camera shots just adds time to an already tough job. Great to watch a pro at work. Thank you Reg, Always love your videos .
Wow that’s what I have to say about the music in this video. Your editing Percision cuts are absolutely amazing I tip my hat to an exceptional arborist !
Nice work man! Every time I watch someone else's work, I see new method/rigging point/Tie off points that I can start to incorporate in my own work process. Thanks for sharing! Also, just out of curiosity, what do you keep in the shoulder bag that you wear in many of your videos?
You are a legend in my book you are so smooth and efficient it's amazing you know what every piece is going to do great work I wish I had you to mentor me in the tree business
Anytime I have to clear my mind it's TH-cam and the great people here including this arborist right here with this mellow video this video always brings me back to the basics of being humble
If I would win the Lottery (you gotta be in it, to win it🙄), I would take two months off, and swing out West, and then double back again, to visit Reg, August, Reon, Travor..... I need a vacation, Lol.... it would be like those old Kung Fu movies, where the one dude roams all around China, bumping into different Kung Fu fighters.... Shoot, I did a stupid little 65' River Birch yesterday(no helper), and it took me almost all damn day.....that's not good....they want to re-break my thumb next week...but the timing is so bad...
Wow, that is so complicated. Over a day of work, I can imagine many places where a slight misjudgement of stretch or distance or even how tightly the line is pretensioned would be serious. I'm sure lesser men would hire a crane to reduce the chance of error, then pass that huge expense on to the customer. Lots of little things are done here that would be easy to overlook, like the way you placed the stump wedge at the end to prevent the log from rolling into the adjacent home. Thumbs up, man!
The last cut of the stump, the way it bounced, rolled onto the small wedge shaped chunk and stopped right there almost looked planned. Freaky accurate calculation.
Kinda looks like you know what ur doing. I saw some really fancy rigging, excellent job and a very well put together video. I'm sure it took a bit of time to set the camera and then, of course, edit it. Thanks very much for sharing the ride.
Its only scary if you make a mistake....which I dont do very often. And, ive been doing it for nearly 30 years, so Im getting rhe hang if it now. Aside from that im ok thanks. Email me any time regcoates1@aol.com
So I climb only around houses everyday ! Just messing with you! I know you would reply if I have a bad review! Actually unless a climber is in the same spot, it’s hard to tell what you may do ! You look to be a good climber! I have search the internet looking for decent climbers like myself and you are defy a elite climber ! I would love to climb removals with you say multiple removals in a single yard same time live videos! Not fast , smooth! I have been climbing 20 years ! Haves had my business for over 20 years! Old school to new school rigging! I Have 6 on my Team ! 1 climber with 32 years climbing! We team climb! We Both climb Different but Both know what we are Doing! I Have removed 1000 of trees all close are over homes! 5 star rated !you can tell a good climber by watching! If you ever want to come down to Florida, let me know ! We could do some sweet videos Live !
Well. Its always nice to hear from fellow Pros. Would love to see Florida one day. You might not know this, but I've only been working in B.C for 10 years. Previous to that I was 20 years working in Australia, New Zealand and the Uk. All I knew through those first 3 countries was Hardwoods. I was a contract climber for over 20 years, worked with at least 150 companies through that time. Ive probably forgotten more about rigging and crane work than many will even get to learn. That's just the truth. I finally gave that up the contracting to start my own tree service about 5-6 year ago. So far so good. I still help my allies out if they need me, but 99 % I just do my own jobs now days. I still climb every day as easy as breathing.
@@Recoates I Have Freelance myself! Over 65 companies Have a my own business for 10 ! I Have hied at least 20 over the years ! We all climb Different!I Have a a guy I knew since I was 8 the first climber I ever watch , come work for me 1 ago ! We are Both Fast ! He’s mainly old school! But I swear it’s nice to Have someone side to side doing removals! We could build i big Busniss Doen in Florida! We are not ego , Big Headed it about working Together as a Team ! Check my Facebook out Derrick Calvert ! We colluded Do some awesome Tree videos also building a Business in Florida! 2 Business working Together! Also bud we Done slow Down in the winter! I work 4 Days a week bud every Wednesday Work Saturday and Sunday as Needed! We Do several Removals a Day Make the Customer Happy! The more we produce the more customers we get ! Think about Florida!
Would you work in Florida as you self ! Not removing The biggest Trees ! Literally climbing side by side ! I I will do the bigger removal, unless you want it ! I always give my climber choice of Removal! Also we do some pruning! So you get some Break ! 3 climbers can prune out some big yards or multiple! Potentially Making several customers Happy! That’s what we all want ! Customer satisfaction! I Have never refused a Removal of any location or size ! So you don’t Have to worry about Training! But seriously think about Florida! Good Customer Here ! Not very many skilled climbers in the Area! The rely on lifts And Cranes to Remove over Homes !
I really liked this video. Not many tree removal or tree work videos these days that keep my attention where I watch the whole thing. This one is a winner. I don't have time for 20 minutes of talk and life on a video. Good smooth rigging shown here and fast pace. Really liked it. It was fun seeing old XRR slings still being used that you got long ago, but still strong and kickin. Nice work as always Reg.
Is that a Stein vega Harrness? I've not met many others who climb on one. I've just had to retire my old vega as it was at end of life. I can't fault it, it suited my build and shape well and I like to keep things as minimal and un complicated as I can.
Really nice! - I'm going to watch a few times because I believe I saw some rigging ideas that we can all use. You should do an annual training seminar so some of us east coasters can fly out and meet a climb master.
Very clean work Reg!, you are one of the best climbers that I have ever had the experience of watching besides myself lol, I have been climbing for over 35 years and do many cuts/moves similar if not the same way as you do and believe it or not also have a 020T which I like but prefer a good ol 011 on most of my climbs where single handing a saw is not an issue. The 011 pulls through bigger diam limbs quicker than the 020T and has 43cc's of displacement compared to about 35 or so on the 020. Having 3 bucket trucks including a 100 footer creates a whole new routine for removals. Take care and climb safe my friend.
I am watching all of your videos because I'm supposed to be trained to do this eventually and the guys I keep getting stuck working with won't pre train me lol
Nice work man! It deff takes a skilled tree climber to remove something that big and that close to a home! Great job! I dont see how you wearing chain saw chaps though lol I'd be sweatting my ass off lol i wear cloggers their pretty sweet and keeps ya cool
Great work Reg, it never ceases to amaze me how large homeowners will allow tees so close to everything that matters. Great for pricing and yet a headache to climb but you make it look too easy removing this large tree so close to the house. I get these type of trees 50% of the time. They test your skills.
@@Recoates Thank you very much for the advice. I recently started climbing and found out i have a certain talent for it, and i think it has to do with the instinctive approach i took to it. I try not to think too much, to stay focus and calm, and i do what i can...
Great video montage of cuts and impressive skills. As violent as the tree was shaking it looked scarier than when you were topping those super high trees near the roadways. Thanks for the content, my little 2 year old who’s obsessed with chainsaws and tree workers loved this video.
I have to reiterate what others have said. Watching the branches swing out away from the roof was amazing. Absolutely professionally done. I also noticed the slow and steady pace that you work at. I try to pass that along to others as it saves time and mistakes. Tnx for another vid Reg.
Fantastic work. How do you gauge where to attach your rigging line on the branch you are cutting? I kept thinking “that looks too far out there,” but then it would fold and drop precisely where it needed to. Sometimes I struggle knowing where to tie on to the piece being cut.
Experience, starting small and working your way up helps, knowing balance points comes with time, and always better to be butt down than butt up and into your face.
Had a long drive ahead of me yesterday so I plugged my AUX jack in and listened to your last Vlog on car stereo.. Interesting, you tell it like it is and you do it like it's meant to be done. Thanks Reg.!
In the homeowners mind it needed to come out because of the proximity to the 2 houses, and that it was rotten. The municipal Arborist decided it was a reasonable request and granted a permit. Our job was to come in and remove the tree in a safe manner. Thats really all there is to it.
Hey Indiana Jones, What do you keep in your satchel? Nice work, per usual, but better edit. The close-ups you cut in were a nice touch. Excellent all around Reg, Thx. Don't know if you have any products to review or run over but I'd be interested in watching haha. Or one of your clever ideas you wanna share, either or. Thx again man, always a treat.
Better late than never. Nice to make your acquaintance. Lots of guys on here that Ive never met, but we all sorta know each other through talking through the years.
Hi reg. Great video! Can i ask why you had your second pulley on a tail 5 feet away from the trunk instead of being up tight to it? Is this span rigging? What is your reason for doing this? Many thanks Adam
Adam it was mainly so i could retrieve the rigging line after the guys un tied it on the ground. Without it would've been difficult for me to reach without climbing right out to the main rigging point each time. It also shared the load some.
Awesome vid, treework, camera work, smooth pro.
just want to add my thanks for taking the time to video your work . There's enough going on just sitting up the rigging and making the cuts, so I am sure setting up the camera shots just adds time to an already tough job. Great to watch a pro at work. Thank you Reg, Always love your videos .
One of the greatest audio mixes for a tree video ever.
Best part is at the end, when the butt of the log lands right on the notch piece. Well done
Beautiful to watch such precision work.
The title for this video should have read Outstanding Arborist Removes Oak Tree:)
that ethereal music in the background is so perfect!
Wow that’s what I have to say about the music in this video. Your editing Percision cuts are absolutely amazing I tip my hat to an exceptional arborist !
Music is Brian Eno-esque.
Nice work man! Every time I watch someone else's work, I see new method/rigging point/Tie off points that I can start to incorporate in my own work process. Thanks for sharing!

You are a legend in my book you are so smooth and efficient it's amazing you know what every piece is going to do great work I wish I had you to mentor me in the tree business
I wish tree work sounded that peaceful in real life
Reg & Groundie - awesome respectful work, great to watch.
Reg Coates: zen master
Thank you Reg
Really like the music and passionate workmanship that's constantly displayed
You look calm and relaxed.... just like if you were doing yoga..... thanks for the video!

Like the old uk days, almost looks like the same tree you pruned a couple days ago. Love the 200 always
A definite pro and probably the only person I have ever seen get away with wearing shorts under their chaps. Right on Reg! 👍👌
The canopy videos are so awesome the mellow music behind it is absolutely the final touches to a great video
Awesome video, would love to do a full oak take down like that one.
For whatever reason, the video was enhanced with no commentary
Great job 👍👌
Those shingles look like they've been wet since the day they were put on ... but a new day is dawning. Favorite limb - definitely @ 1:08
Wow, that is so complicated. Over a day of work, I can imagine many places where a slight misjudgement of stretch or distance or even how tightly the line is pretensioned would be serious.

I’ve learned a lot from just watching Regs vids. He’s well past the 10000 hour rule. He’s a removal wizard! Ha ha lol
one word. professional
I would title this video " The Art of Arboricultural Engineering" but I think your title is more fitting for a Zen Master.
This reminds me of some of you videos from England, I really like those as there is a lot to learn from watching.
The last cut of the stump, the way it bounced, rolled onto the small wedge shaped chunk and stopped right there almost looked planned. Freaky accurate calculation.
Wow....I stopped that video time and again, studying the positioning and rigging. Thank you for sharing!
Reg, great video, can you please show a pic of the tree before the job starts. All the best
I shall try to remember

Hah u must be a climber. Yea i was curious myself how long he was alloud, make no mistaskes hes a pro
AWESOME REG
Solid work Reg. I learn a lot from your videos.

Not bad for a crazy ex-Brit!!!

Repetition Bill. I do it without thinking. If i think about it and stare too long, Id probably mess it up.

That was nice keep videos coming thanks for your time Reg✊👍

Very well done! Skills all can appreciate....even the untrained eye.
Straight smooth at end with tree stump wedge to keep it from rolling.. you been there before mate..
Where did you get the face mask/muff combo? Been looking for the same one, no one seems to sell them in Canada.
What saddle are you climbing in?

Reception. Conventional and crane related. And a conscious effort over-analize or worry.
Had a long drive ahead of me yesterday so I plugged my AUX jack in and listened to your last Vlog on car stereo.. Interesting, you tell it like it is and you do it like it's meant to be done. Thanks Reg.!
Hey, one of my favorite channels. I often watch your projects over breakfast. 3 eggs, omelette style.
Nice big pieces. Good job reg. The time put forth to set up your rigging right is worth it, isn’t it.
How old was that oak. I’d say 200 years. Did it really need to come out? Cutting down oaks is always emotive.
In the homeowners mind it needed to come out because of the proximity to the 2 houses, and that it was rotten. The municipal Arborist decided it was a reasonable request and granted a permit. Our job was to come in and remove the tree in a safe manner. Thats really all there is to it.
@@Recoates I love you :-) You're a gentleman.
Boo yah! I’d be like the camera, falling over when the big ones drop.
The pulley on the dead eye: is that to limit the amount you have to move the system for each cut?
Nicely done reg the amount of rigging you had to do was a lot of work an safely is great to see thank you
that little chunk to arrest the trunk movement at the end....sweet.
Charge extra for the roof cleaning. Sweet camera angles.
Hey Indiana Jones, What do you keep in your satchel? Nice work, per usual, but better edit. The close-ups you cut in were a nice touch. Excellent all around Reg, Thx.
