- Climbing and Topping a 230ft Douglas Fir. The Tree had split at the bottom and was leaning hard over a major highway. The tree had to be cut down in sections to avoid collateral damage to the adjacent trees and the highway. The video shows some of the cutting involved. #Dangerous jobs #Tree falling #Tree Cutting #Lumberjack #Arborist #Vancouver Island
My legs are shaking, and I’m sitting on the couch. Mad respect Sir.
I'm literally sweating watching this.🙏
I watched almost the first minute, couldn't take any more
Now I know that I'm incapable of just watching this type of work...
@@timjones3866 Mee too.
i thought i was the only one😁
I'd have been painting that tree my own personal shade of brown if I were attempting this job. Much respect to you, sir!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that was good
Stop eating those burrito supremes. 🌯💩
The aftermath of chipotle
Same here, good thing I was already on the toilet while watching this 🤣
Was always wondering why they wore harnesses
You can't pay me enough. He deserves every penny he gets and then some.
Antoine Simmons I bet it’s not Enough
Antoine Simmons yes he does
A friend of my neighbor cut down 4 big ass trees in 2 days!! These guys are fearless I admire people who have the nerve to do this kind of work!! The charge so much but there risking their lives!! And a life has no price!! Keep up fearless guy
That was crazy high, my hat is off to that guy.
Facts
@J Crane your sadly correct that's a hell of a view to
Spilt tree, heavy lean, wind gusts, top heavy weight, 150ft, traffic delay, section cuts, respect to you no wonder the view count.
When a man calmly working hanging from a tree limbs 200+ feet high says “I can see wind on its way, is coming” mate, I believe him!

Just look at how fast the chips are stepping out in the breeze!

Crazy. My grandfather died in an accident one day on the job as a tree topper. Long time ago. He was an awesome man. Miss him.
I'm sorry for your loss
@Saul Goodman ikr why do people say that? makes no difference.
@Saul Goodman
His insincerity is palpable.
Yah man, sincerely sorry for your loss. But I'm guessing he was loving his work.
what a great story to share here, mood wrecker
Good job bro, my father was a tree surgeon here in Nor Cal. He did what you did here everyday. I know just how dangerous that is, i mean most people have no frickin clue! Be safe brother! 🙏🙏🤠🌲🌲🌳
We appreciate people like you who can respect what we do and realize the work it entails
I guess most people get sweaty hands just from watching and can imagine how dangerous it is.
@@angelsjoker8190 its only as dangerous as you make it. But yeah it can be butt puckering for sure
@@slyclyde2900 I mean, of course, you try to make sure all safety precautions are taken, but wind and half-broken branches are hard to predict, and then handling a chainsaw is a different kind of danger than for a programmer, whose main danger is lack of movement and too much pizza :) .
@@angelsjoker8190 or an idiot running the ropes slamming pieces into you . or peeling bark slamming your nuts into the trunk. You right
Even after the weight of the limbs was gone, that crack in the tree was still under stress because there was still the weight of his enormous balls he had to worry about!!!
Totally.
Best comment here!
Not balls... JUST NUTS!
Well put D5. Makes me sick to watch lol
Good point
I been a arborist for twelve years now. The higher the better for me. I love watching the limbs fall for few seconds then hearing the impact. Good job man. Well carried out.
I guess the height is something you get used to? Or have you always been a madman the first time you tried it?
@@samrichards8251 yer was born into it. Family tradition
@@samrichards8251 as a guy not born unto it and only 3 years in, every foot higher than your last highest is a crazy rush. And yes when asked, i do get nervous at times and uneasy, but it gets easier the more you do it.
@@dartskihutch4033 good to know. I hired a boom lift thinking I can trim lots of high trees. Hardly got anything done because I wasn’t prepared for the height 😁 I turned into a scared little kid
Liar
I just discovered your channel. I did a fair amount of tree felling years ago in college as a forestry major. No two way radios back then, all preplanning and hand signals. No production work, just removing problem trees like you do. I truly enjoy your channel and your ethics. I hope you keep up the great content, cheers.
U know how people say "I got dizzy just from watching this..." I never believed in that but this gave me the chills for some reason
I got scared, video made me feel uneasy
I don't know why when you said this my be the last that I welled up a little. Don't know why! I'm a strong minded man, but hearing you say that just struck a cord in me. After seeing you all these years it's hard to think about not seeing you with your "don't give 2 shits whether you agree with me or not" attitude making videos.You have shown me and a lot of other people things that we use in our jobs every day. You have given us views from the tops of 200+ tall trees to beautiful forest floors to the edge of roaring seas. You should be proud of the content you have put out on your channel and if you personally think you can't put out anything that you feel good about then I agree with you. You should know that people respect you enough that they would watch you cut fire wood if that's the only content you put out. If this is indeed the last of your videos, I thank you for that beautiful view that I may never get to see and all the lessons that you tried or inadvertently given to me. You will be sorely missed whether want to be or not. You have made an impression on so many people. I wish you and your family nothing but the best. Again, thank you for all the years.
My first time watching one of his videos and he says he's going to stop making videos... Sad
lol same - first time watching this
@Doug Carter yeah genius hes not in the south heslin Vancouver
He’s made videos since. Check his channel
Y'all need to man the fk up
@@BEVERLYPRINCESS90210 ?
I’m having anxiety attacks just watching his first person view. Ever since my accident a long time ago, I can’t do heights. I get dizzy and my heart starts racing. I was never like that when I was younger. I could stand at the edge of a roof or top of a mountain with no problem. But now, nope! This guy has balls of steel. Big props to all tree climbers
me 2😂
same
What happened?
You can't spit out that little tidbit of information about an accident and not tell us what happened.
@@bbglas007 I slipped and fell off a 3 story roof landing on double metal basement doors. Broke 8 bones at once.
Tree: im safe up here no ones gonna get me.
This guy:
Reg, you're a legend. I understand the feeling of not feeling you're able to top the things you've already done. Especially in the same trade, and taping it for 13+ years now.
I'll admit, the trees on the east coast here in the states are nowhere near that height!
Mind you I see deciduous trees mainly. The biggest white pine I've ever seen here was 100' shorter than that one. I was still blown away at the size of it.
Keep on doing what makes you happy. Weather it's making content or taking a break from it. Getting burnt happens.
But, tomorrow is always a mystery and full of new possibilities.
In Georgia we have 150f to 180ft pines, poplars and beech. But nothing around 200ft
This is amazing. I don’t know how many of you have donned climbing gear and climbed a tree but this guy is amazing. Reg my hat is off to you. I’ve climbed a little in the past never over 50 feet and what you did here is nothing short of true manhood. You go mate.
Love the way he's a northerner and also mentions Fred Dibnah! Tree climbers, jacks and RATS are all a breed of their own 👍🏼
Nice skills mate.
I was standing on my deck looking at the trees around my yard and saying they need cutting or at least to be topped. My first search for tree topping led me here and then all of a sudden standing on my deck felt like was way to high and I needed to sit on the steps. You are amazing good man. Hats to you.
Every single cut you make has a lesson worth learning. Even your throttle work is precise saving gas. Incredible stability in your situational awareness. Your a true Samurai with your tool being an extension of your psyche. Stay safe out there champ.
I think we just found the guy who has the biggest balls of them all...
thesouthpaw33 you mean it's not Duke Nukkem? lol
Bro that shits scary i was cutting a tree at my sis house like 20 ft tall that aint shit compared to this
Only a handful of men in this planet enjoy this much fun, you’re a God gifted man with steel cojones, you’re my hero ☝️🙏🏻
I don't know how I ended up here. But I'm glad I did
Just a generation ago, men did this with axes every day in the Pacific Northwest forests. Hats off to highclimbers!
Maybe more than A generation ago but still valid and badass
We still do...
Not gonna lie, I will be awfully sad if this is the last reg video. He’s the master, the best ever. Do what makes you happiest reg and thank you for the amazing content you’ve given us.
There's so many life lessons you've managed to convey in one 10 minute video.
Woke up early, drank some coffee, had a poop, watched this video, pooped my pants..
😂😂😂
6:33am on a Saturday here
🤪
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO 😂 😂
That's a lot of poop.
TH-cam: hey do you wanna see a dude cutting a tree?
Me: sure why not XD
Lol
Have fun
I got this issue
Good one
😂
Despite the fact that I'm sitting in a chair watching this, my heart is jumping every few seconds in fear. 😖
6:35 - Anyone with the presence of mind to drop a Fred Dibnah reference while 200 FEET UP A TREE is about as bad ass as it gets... 😂🇦🇺🇬🇧🌲
Was Fred the chimney man?

Yes he was.
Dead now

I’m glad you showed one more... watching that log smack the ground was an awesome spectacle! Thanks for the great video! 😬

Reading the comments. Everyone is aware.

Its physically hard just watching this. Its only for a special breed of people. Lots of money couldn't even make me do this.
I respect them but you ain't getting my ass up there
I have full respect. No need to convince me.
Hope this isn’t the last we see of you Reg, you’re an inspiration to many. I’ve said for years, I want to be Reg Coates when I grow up. Not quite there yet.
He is bad ass
I was an iron worker and boilermaker for years and this is even a little on the sketchy side for me. Awesome.
Me too brother! And I feel the same way!
Wow, very neat video. Thank you for sharing. The accuracy of the cuts, and professionalism is appreciated
That was such a badass topping, rewatched that fall like 10 times
Took forever to hit the ground
I mow my lawn with spinning blades underneath 500lbs of steel tractor and comfortable seat... at ground level. You’re my hero
When he looks down from above, I feel like I'm going to fall off my bed.
You're so right
Same here!
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
I know, I'm getting dizzy watching him too! 🥴
I really wanted to see the rest of those logs fall.. it may be mundane to you mate but it's really interesting to everybody else who's afraid of heights or living in a city.
You tell him! He should know better! You're so much smarter than him--and everybody!
@@jamespfitz what? Lol how in anyway was I insinuating how intelligent I am? Are you having a bad day man?
@@LPJMagicmusic pricks are everywhere bubba
I was about to make a comment that I'd like to see those logs fall down to the ground.
And that Jim fellow is not a nice man is he. I'd say Jim does some catastrophization a little bit much.
@@withwingsaseagleeyes eh was probably going through some shit. Hope hes ok now
There’s nothing mundane or average at all about your tree work brother, that was awesome! Much respect to you sir!😎👍
+Reg Coates,
By Christ you're easily up there on a par with Sherbrooke Trees. It'll be a bloody shame if you do!
You also said I thought years ago you weren't in to comedy, well the Dinah line puts thee right!!😆😆😆😆😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

Good point Woodsman... I recall Reg making a video in the past about Sherbrooke. Can't say for certain but I think he was encouraging them to make more content. Funny huh?
Your a true professional,I did this for over 20 years and seen a lot off people come and go,but I really like your work
Вот у мужика яйца стальные, я пока смотрел аж пятки вспотели😲
I've been cutting over 10 years .... I know what you mean and how you feel about the "average tree work " it's only fun when you get to do the big dirty ! Cheers mate keep your saw in the wood !
I'm setting safely in my recliner and I can't breathe looking down at the highway..lol That's just insane.

@@ПетрСимурзин мы берём от 8500₽ за выезд. До .. но средняя цена одного ствола 8-10. Тут легкотня, если честно, сложней и дороже, когда завешиваются части ствола.

I have 200ft white pines in my backyard and I only got a quarter way up before I was scared. Respect for this man for going this high.

Я чуть не упал с дивана, когда вниз глянул! 😂
Я привязался на кровати прежде чем начать просмотр 🤣🤣🤣
Дада,когда привяжешься к дивану то не так страшнр
Страшно
Посмотрев данное видео у меня не только ладошки вспотели , ну и кое-что другое😄
Высоты боюсь до смерти. Зачем я это смотрю?
You really are master of your craft. That last log was crazy, two full rotations. Nicely done!
As soon as I got oriented, that feeling came back, tingly hands, butterfly stomach, senses extra sharp. Never went 200’ a few 120’. Be safe up there, keep the husky sharp!
That chainsaw, phoar!! It's running so well.. and the cut is mint! Great combo!
Sad to hear! U're one of few, that someone who's in the buissines enjoys to watch. Love your way of working, and the way u make us shut up and listen/learn. Most of all you're not a "TH-camr" just to get likes👍. Stay safe!!!
Мне на диване страшно, а он на высоком пне
да
Высокий пень... Вот как это называется))) точно
Тоже самое, я аж в одеяло укутался от страха
@nobody He said something like „i’m scared on a couch, and this guy is on a tall tree”. I’m not a russian myself but that’s what i think it means.

You do an awesome job! I think it is very appropriate for me to say . . . "Better you than me." LOL
I almost lost my stomach just watching your video. You have brass sir, shiny - solid brass! Great stuff posting. Thanks!
When that top hits the ground it’s like a drug and all the weight comes off your shoulders. All the stress subsides and you get a rush of adrenaline. I love that feeling. Sick job dude frickin awesome shot 👍
Oof that last notch. Absolute pro. Nice one Reg.
Молодец, крутая работа. Помогаешь людям.
What a great job you did! I respect and admire the way you handled it.
Another day at the office...these darn trees just keep growing like weeds.
I truly hope you didn’t call it quits Reg. We do enjoy your videos.
Thank you for all you do!
God bless u guys. Saw the whole video and didnt realize how sweaty my hands got. Was real nervous watching. God bless u mate
My wife would still make me set the table when I came home from doing that.
Man, fuuuuuck that. I wish my wife would make me set a table after i come home from some hard dangerous work. Lmao!!!! That would be a no set table, ill go out and buy my own dinner with the money i made from climbing a 200 ft tree!
Just say do it yourself I've had a hard day doing man things.
New wife time , kick her to the kerb
4:00. like a boss :)

I got 17 yrs in with climbing NEVER in a million years have I've done a tree that high.. Props playboy
Good work Reg, the worst part for me would've been the waiting of 15 minutes each time, I just want to get that damn thing limbed and topped as soon as possible.
Reg, so glad I found you, would have LOVED to have you in the redwoods as a partner, your skills ROCK! What I like most about you're work, besides exercising safety in each, is your preciseness. I always strived to do things by the book, and, lol, we both know that's impossible. so wish I was still into this, too old now, but I want you to enjoy it as long as you can brother!
I had to cut roof jacks into a 3 story building the other day and I was very uncomfortable that high up. I couldn’t imagine being as calm and precise as this guy that high up
Found this video this morning and loved it. Was thinking in my Head, man I can't wait to watch all his new videos, when I heard you say you weren't going to be posting much after this lol. Bad Timing eh?

Great work, Fred Dibnah would have been pleased.
I'm glad I didn't have to climb 200 ft here in Missouri to trim trees out of the power lines. Great saw by the way ! Expert saw handling too !
Living my whole life in oregon I have seen first hand the skill, fortitude,strength it takes to do what these folks do! I have many family members and friends who fall timber.
Believe me it's a talent to read wind read the top,read the type and consistency of the tree.
Not sure why, but trimming all of those small branches on the way up looks so satisfying. maybe its slight ocd
Not only is he up there at 200ft he is climbing a tree that has a lean to it! I worked as a telephone lineman, working on poles with a lean was so hard.. on one side you are being pushed into work area, on other side all your weight is pushed back...
I'm laying here in bed and me arse cheeks are clenched just watching. 🤣
You couldn't even shoot a bb up my butt with a cannon. 😅
Couldn't pull a greased string out with a tractor
Your the best Reg , remember we all watch for you not super crazy climbs :)
When Fred was born he drove his mum home on the back of a steam roller. Shout out to Fred👍🏻
This is sick, waiting between traffic would kill me, wait I could never do this lol. Your the man
I would have said no. You must know trees very well! It was Very brave and kind to do this dangerous tree for the safety of others below.
