Well said August Well said! Reg is in a class that most great tree men can’t hold a rope for. It takes great mental fortitude and physical endurance to persevere through jobs like that.
Couldn’t agree more. Reg is the Ace Ventura in the tree world. Including dry british humor 😂 And a nice pile of the most expensive firewood in the world, well done!
I love watching your videos August they are insightful and contain quality tree work, but man when Reg releases a video you know it’s a job that makes you think. You are both a blessing to the tree community stay safe man.
Heck ya couldn’t agree more August has amazing editing skills and tree skills. That being said I see a Reg video come across my feed it’s like Christmas.
The decision of walking under the madrone or walking around was crazy timing and a testament to how you’ve survived decades of hazard tree work. Awesome video
Brilliant job Reg , proper professional work,I think it's important to mention how much patience you have as a lot of people wouldn't want to be in the harness and spikes for that long, and would have taken more risks and done bigger pieces to go quicker.older heads are smarter heads, fair play buddy 👌👍
I sure wish videos like this would've existed when I started climbing 30 years ago, it would have been a lot easier to learn rigging and dismantling skills. We had so much pressure on us to make an hourly rate, and it's really important to see a seasoned pro do things in a measured and careful manner for the new guys, it really must be helpful to see that patience is the key to getting difficult stuff on the ground safely. Some of the absolute cowboy stuff I did in my younger days trying to make an hourly rate, this would have been so helpful to see, to force me to slow down and really think every cut through. You're doing important work, and I don't doubt for a second at least a few lives will be saved by observing your measured and patient methods. It's a delight to watch. Stay safe up there
@@deselby6669 lol my friends accasionally ask me to start a utube channel, they say it'd be like watching Fred Dibnah. I can't for the life of me see how a seasonal grass cutter and occasional tree chopper stacks up to watching Fred mind. well being opinionated might come close I suppose and living a mile down stream of him as well maybe?. watching fred scaffold a chimney has the same effect as watching Reg chop a dodgy tree mind. terrifying and compulsive vieiwing.
@@vespasian266 Reg at over 200ft and Fred laddering a chimney ...its the nonchalance..mug of tea and a kit kat up top....like the handle ,the last of the 4 emperors.and first of them Flavians...AD 69..a busy year..
Id been thinking randomly past couple of weeks, where's Reg, and boom, he's there. I saw the video length, read the intro spec, and thought this is going to be tasty. Went for my popcorn, none there so I settled for oxygen, and a bowl of feck all, like a real man 🤛
Some of Reg's vids have me nervous as hell. I'm sure I'm more worried watching than Reg is working. and a good look at the prussic in action. In fact this vid had everything you want in a tree vid. top marks from me.
It's curious because I have the opposite sensations. I have the feeling, while watching this videos, that things are under control, calculated, pre-decided as much as they can be... which is, obviously, never 100%
Reg, you are one of the most outstanding climbers, we the tree people have ever seen. There is know one above you. Take care , I know you read trees will , but I still do not need to see you hurt. take care mate. Clarkie
Reg that was an absolute masterpiece! Thank you for taking the time to set the camera up to give us such a variety of interesting vantage points. You're a master and I learn so much from your content that I take with me into my own work.
Well Reg, you do find some knotty problems to think through. And then make the solution seem an obvious one when it isn't at all. A very satisfying watch - thank you.
I sometimes have in mind, while working, a phrase you once said in a video: "I'm not a chancer". The balance between time and risk. It's such a pleasure and a relief to see you working, to study the decisions you guys made, to wonder about other possible solutions (I always try to do that, just to jog my mind). Thanks for not making thrillers out of arboriculture videos and, if you feel like it, keep filming from time to time. Cheers!
Reg, That… was Some job! A bit scary from here in some spots! The only thing I might have added was another 3000 winch to attach to that big tree in the back to tie on towards the front off the tree when you were bringing in down to the ground to pull it away from the shed. But as it turned out just barely touched the roof. Great JOB! I’m finally going to hang up my spurs at the age of 70 and a half😂. Now I just have to sell all this gear. The wife says that until I do I’ll keep doing it!😂….true story…..take care
Hey Reg, I’ve been following your work and career since I started tree work. I’m originally from Bristol UK. I’m now living in Australia, and have been here for over 7 years. I’ve been running my own show here for 2 years now, supporting my young family. Things can be tough sometimes, the stresses of staff and looking after everyone. But I find real solace and inspiration in your videos, they always level me back out and make me proud of the hard work and passion I’ve put into what I do over all these years. Just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for the industry and for other climbers like me in similar situation. You’re a constant inspiration to keep going and being the best you can be. Hope everything is going well for you and your family out there. Thanks once again mate. J
@joedunwell7612 Thanks Joe. Good luck with your business. Just remember that if you are not seeing a decent profit and savings by now, then something is wrong and needs to be changed.
What more to say? That job seemed to have everything. A time to bring every piece of equipment on the truck! Best of all: the understatement, the patience, the attention to detail. A masterclass!!
Une situation bien difficile, très technique, c'est la première fois que je ressens de la tention chez notre grand référent! C'est parfait, comme toujours, même si une phase, le choix du placement m'a fait vraiment peur!! Merci Reg, chapeau✌️
Awesome job, Control, precision, Reg your on another level, I know folk in blighty that would have left that site looking like the aftermath of an earthquake, but ultimately would have given the job a hard pass.
The level of skill, precision, and decision making in this video us astounding. You truly are part of a dying breed brother. There's not many men who would attempt to tackle a job like this with only two people and minimal equipment. You're an iron man and an inspiration to myself Reg. Keep yourself safe and keep up the great work!
The way you sling off the logs with the prusic and micro pulley. The long tail on the rope. I’m assuming as a tag line? Genius. I’ve often used my tail as a tag line but with a mid line knot and steel carbine
Hi Reg, Hi Elliott.. absoloute master class chaps, 5*. Bloody amazing & the rigging blew me away. A couple o' pints of Theakstones after that job lads😉.Thank you both chaps👍, stay safe & loved.
Fantastic 👏👏👏. Solid professional work brother and your crew deserves every bit of my respect as well. I’m on the tail end of my climbing career (38yrs) so I truly enjoy seeing the work carried on so well in this amazing profession. 😅stayed up an hour past my bedtime watching this.
This reminded me of content he created from along time ago - I believe in Europe…huge Beech trees among homes…fascinating skills. Always so deliberate - precise…
They definitely hired the right man for the job. Well done Reg. This channel should have a million subs. Your average joe dosen't realize the skill and danger that is involved.
Enjoyed the video. A monster job complicated by wedged in big madrone, steep hill and targets all around real close. A controlled effort to be complimented. Kudos to you, Reg and your partner Elliott.
Reg you are absolutely amazing at what you do I wish I had your talent I wish I had somebody to teach me that was as good as you and was with me for a few years I would have so much more confidence God bless buddy stay safe
I assume you mean the Cedar, Tom. In this case, if not for the Cedar being there the Arbutus would've fallen all the way and crushed the house, and then someone else would've got the job of cleaning it up. But as it was, the Cedar became part of the puzzle that also had to be carefully removed.
Brilliant scary stuff. Sorry may have missed it but the standing tree was about 25-30m in height? Had brown rot running down through a significant section of the lower stem. Was hollow in places at a height that gave concern even for speed lining due to wobbling. Had a fallen Madrone (Arbutus) that had undergone some root failure pressing against it that was 15m ish and over a tonne in weight which you did lighten up a tad until you thought “we need to sever more roots”. A couple questions if I can. What was it about the standing tree that made you think it was ok to climb? Please And then section it down and the winch on the madrone please what was that? GRCS or a portable capstan. Amazing stuff well done. Groundy knew his stuff too! I’ll stick to the small stuff.
Hi Reg, Quite the project, Well done. I live on Mayne and done a bit of work on saturna, And know how narly the trees are over there, Reach out if you need help anytime.
In TH-cam’s colossal haystack of empty and mundane videos, here lies the golden needle of legitimate content. Sanity makes a quiet algorithm.
Well said August
Well said!
Reg is in a class that most great tree men can’t hold a rope for.
It takes great mental fortitude and physical endurance to persevere through jobs like that.
Couldn’t agree more. Reg is the Ace Ventura in the tree world. Including dry british humor 😂
And a nice pile of the most expensive firewood in the world, well done!
And, is that the new device or did I miss something 🫣

Your patience and graciousness while working in difficult conditions is admirable. Thank you for setting such a great example.
Thanks for taking the time to film a Master Class in tree work .
The decision of walking under the madrone or walking around was crazy timing and a testament to how you’ve survived decades of hazard tree work. Awesome video
It was indeed a bonus that the camera was rolling. It swiveled so fast and abruptly that it could've been a mishap for the unsuspecting worker.
What part of the video are you talking about thank you so much God bless
I watched more now I understand what you mean definitely he's a very very smart man reg he's the best there is I believe
I would have loved to have a mentor like him
Brilliant job Reg , proper professional work,I think it's important to mention how much patience you have as a lot of people wouldn't want to be in the harness and spikes for that long, and would have taken more risks and done bigger pieces to go quicker.older heads are smarter heads, fair play buddy 👌👍
Perfect example of the "slow is smooth and smooth is fast" mentality. Stay safe Reg.
What a monumental task for Elliot to land all that work to the ground by himself. I hope he was paid more than excellent

It's always a good day when Reg drops a new tree work video
These longer vids are great, you's done a great job on this. Cheers from Scotland.
A joyous moment when a skilled man takes time to share his experience with the world. Every moment captured is a lesson.
Well done Reg, yet another amazing and almost impossible task undertaken .
Captivating as always, love from the UK 🪓❤️🇬🇧
After a Reg outing I go straight to Fred Dibnah..Its an addiction..Just great..!

Thanks mate. A few thousand genuine subs and participants is better than a million casuals talking sh it. But I appreciate your point
@@Recoates Yea , You're probably right.
Thanks for all the extra effort in the making of your videos
You astound me with your discipline and skill and overcoming of working in dangerous conditions ❤fan from Wisconsin
Some brilliant work here -- approaching a unique situation with novel ideas
Enjoyed the video. A monster job complicated by wedged in big madrone, steep hill and targets all around real close. A controlled effort to be complimented. Kudos to you, Reg and your partner Elliott.
I appreciate your work Reg.
You guys are crazy. Respect!
Your poise, skill level and problem solving skills are inspirational. Thank you.
Soooooooo happy for a video from Reg! Amazing production!
You have taught me to think outside of the box.
Thank you for taking the time to record. 😊
Such dangerous work, yet thrilling and fascinating to watch! Job well done men!!
Such a Great Work!👏😎💪🤙
It was nice to watch how did you adapt to the new situations on the process and solved with patience and well taught skills.
Absolutely amazing to watch!!! Great work Reg, thanks for another awesome video!!!
Always a pleasure watching your work!
Excellent work masterfully done. Stay safe Reg.
has to be one of the hardest thinking job non crane tree work ive seen ..nice one reginald ...
no doubt about it ..after meee you are probably the best ... bet that beer tasted good ..
so calm. increadible
Way to go guys. This was amazing to watch thanks for sharing this one with us.
Downloaded for teaching purposes.
Thanks for posting Reg.
Methodically done tree work, keeps you living! Great smooth job guys
Reg you are absolutely amazing at what you do I wish I had your talent I wish I had somebody to teach me that was as good as you and was with me for a few years I would have so much more confidence God bless buddy stay safe
as a fellow smaller tree company owner/operator hats off reg well done!
Love it when there is neighboring tree to work from...beautiful work!!

Phew-I was holding my breath-what a convoluted tree 😱
Amazing job!
Love the content, Reg👍
Awesome as usual Reg. You are the best! No question. Take care
Why do you have that prussim system at the end of the rigging line? Is it for tensioning the line?
That was one hell of a job there brother! And it looked big and awkward on video. I could imagine what the video didn’t show. Great job!
I am a carpenter? I watch this guy which has little to do with my trade other that wood? But I am amazed ! Very professional! I am hooked !
Well done Reg!
Hats off to you Reg. Outstanding job.
I hope you charged accordingly. Great video!
Great job. I have been waiting and hoping to see you work, thank you for the video.
All that creaking and the adjacent gas cannisters reminded me of the boat in Jaws. Terrifying.
always love your videos. keep up the quality content.
You found some good help there Reg. Great work!
Great work and vid Reg. Nice groundwork too.
Earnt your money on that one Reg! Great team work with a guy you can 100% trust, had to be. Great job and video. 👍👍🇬🇧

Great job guys 💪👏👏
I don’t know why this guy doesn’t have more followers he is the best I have seen I guess he needs to make more content
Hey Reg how are you so excited to see a new video posted by you I hope all is well my friend God bless
inspiring work, I love your approach to things. All the best Reg!
Great content. Super smart tree work here
Reg and team, great work.
Well worked out Reg. Tough job.
Thanks for sharing nice work reg
Amazing. Awesome job as always. Take care
Now that was a thing of beauty....nice one !!!
Not alot of men could pull this one off, hats off sir !
That-is-so-sick wow. Awesome job man!
Saturna Island, neat. I've only ever seen it from Orcas Island but it's a place I'd like to visit one day.
Hi Reg, Quite the project, Well done. I live on Mayne and done a bit of work on saturna, And know how narly the trees are over there, Reach out if you need help anytime.
Hello Adam. How did you end up on Mayne ? And do you work for yourself ?
