I know you're a busy man reg but I do love your videos I've been watching them for umpteen years I'm 39 I'm a tree climber as well you are an inspiration to me and the tree climbing industry definitely I wish you could produce more videos I always wait for one LOL but as I said I know you're busy I know you have a family and that all comes first stay safe my friend God bless
@@lyricallean7642 no buddy I wouldn't say scared but I always have fear that's what keeps you alive I guess they say why are you just starting out climbing
@@br-dj2ti I am going off to trade school in about 6 days, and there I will learn how to use forest machines, chainsaws, all those type of things, I was just wondering what I wanted to do after I graduated and what I've been most interested in is arborist and being a feller. I don't really wanna sit in a machine all day I'd rather get my hands dirty and be outside
I think we just watched you go the limit of what is possible. Incredible work, so much discipline and patience with just enough effort. Thanks for taking the time to create and share.
Well you managed to keep my on the edge of my seat...had to keep reminding myself that you survived or the video wouldn't have been posted...much respect for both your skill and courage Reg!!!😵💫
Thanks Reg, You give me the confidence that when you need to take your time, just take your time. I often feel like i need to pick up the pace when im slow stepping up to a dead top in a tree, and thats purely just for the sake of the employer or other people i may be working with but at the end of the day when your life is on the line to ensure the safety of others by removing hazard trees like that, there is nothing wrong with taking all the time you need to do the job safetly. You inspire me more then any other climber, Much Respect. And Thank you.
Not bad, not bad, young feller....or is it faller? Lemme know when you're ready to advance to the next level, my training session is selling out fast... ... ... ... ;-O))
I love how you mitigate the risk by installing supports on ascent. I know many would of just takin the risk, but I respect your thought process more. No sense in taking stupid risk, when you can minimalize the risk. Great work 👍
When I used to do tree work many years ago I used to hate dead wood with a vengeance. Unpredictable and predictably is your friend. Top notch work sir as usual, careful and methodical.
I really appreciate your style reg. I appreciate jacob and august's work but they stress me out watching how they move around in a tree. Your slow methodical style is the best way to avoid any hazards. I personally feel I've adopted your style of work when it comes to taking out trees. slow and stead wins the race. Hope all is well reg and really enjoy your content.
Wow what a sketchy climb, very very good work man. Super awesome video. And I love that music you got in your videos. Would love to see some more of your work. And remember it don't need to be a crazy job for it to be a good video. Sometimes people like to watch the easy jobs too. We enjoy watching a skilled craftsman at work. I especially like watching as an arborist. Love the content man. Please Keep it coming.
I like how you take the extra time to take added safety precautions and think things through. I did a removal a few years back, some skinny trees leaning over a shed and they were still in fairly good condition I believe, but we decided to add a support system by anchoring them to a large maple nearby just for the added support because of the lean and the size of the spars and the fact we had to climb high to speed line the tops over the garage. As a climber whether you’re working for a company or you have your own operation, you’re in charge and should do what you feel comfortable with to be safe. Don’t skip steps just because the ground crew might be rushing you or the boss wants you to hurry up.
So glad to see you making more videos Reg! It's a pleasure watching you work. I have learned so much from watching your videos. That calm, collected, demeanor is something I strive for every time I'm in a tree.
Every time you make a video here on TH-cam I drop everything I can to watch it.... it's been like that for me since you started way back in the Uk. Thanks and continue your safe/smart/efficient way of tree work. I've learned lots in watching you in the last twelve years. Cheers, Micheal
I'd love to see you and buckin just sitting down in front of the camera talking about stuff, doesn't even matter what you talk about. Just a good hour of you guys shooting the shit....
Intense video. I appreciate the insight into some your choices. Thanks for the redirects up the stem tip. I bet you felt like a million bucks when you reached the ground again.
I think this is the first time I have ever seen reg in a situation where he was like I don't like this let's make it safer. In my book that is 90% of climbers would have probably said no I'm not doing this. Me personally I probably would have brought the crane. 330ft of stick would have been plenty to top it out with and then I would have climbed and chunked
Amazing work, thank you for sharing. I have a 70’ maple near my house. I have to finish taking down. It has two dead leaders just like this tree had, and was wondering how the heck I was going to go about getting it down the rest of the way.
Ho visto più volte il tuo video per capire come ti assicuri alla pianta e come la tagli: molto bravo! I have seen several times your video to understand how you secure the plant and how you cut it: very good!
Thanks for the video Reg! I was able to find the tree you were working, on Google Earth... (grin) Client might be Echo Drive Boat Launch, or the neighbor Prospect Lake Boat Launch. Tree looks in a little better shape on GE. Always enjoy your stuff...
It takes a lot of finesse to know just how much to tighten those ratchet straps given that union you had to climb so far past. I’m impressed! And yes please people, call us before the trees have mushrooms growing out of them!
Many of us could work a lifetime in the trees and not acquire the level of confidence to scale and take one down in this condition. Learning about this trade is an endless endeavor, but it is only with experience and touching the trees can you navigate and execute a project like this with your level of confidence. You are a true master of the art and I am very grateful you choose to share your videos and insight. Stay safe and thanks for making us better tree folks!
Ayuh, very nice view from the top. Well done getting that tree down safely. I appreciate you showing the use of the straps to help stabilize the tree. Working dead trees aren't really my favorite but, they do need to get done. Thanks for taking the time to show us a bit of your day. Keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🌲
Thanks for another video. Pleasure to watch. Watching the way you methodically work a tree is very educational and has helped me to slow down and be a better climber.
You have to have some serious confidence in your self and that dead wood. That looked real brittle. I am on the East Coast and we don't have that species of fur here. Great job!! I think I counted about 4 seconds for a limb to hit the ground. I my butt was puckering when you took those tops.
It was your new device that gave you the courage to go on im sure, or maybe just the extreme knowledge you've gained in the years you have subdued dead wood, either way, Im happy both of your feet are safely on the ground.
Crikey that was well dead. Kept wondering what would happen if one fork snapped. Nice little drama. Iys like I'm there doing it. Nice to see you back on the tube. What was that music at the end?
”Ok Dave, I’ll give you a few minutes (to clean up my enormous pile of branches). Very generous of you, haha. Thanks again for taking the time to make a video. Always enjoying, no matter what the content. Cheers, c ya later. John
Hi Reg, I have the same saw, is this still the .325 0.43 bar and chain combo? Almost looks a little fatter like as if you’ve put a 3/8 sprocket and set up on, is this the case?
Nice video dude, and a good job. I m 52 year old climber. Never worked with the new stuff you like the new chainsaw on battery? I never tried IT. Greetz from Holland
Youi're sort of a magician, making people sweat while they're 1000+ miles away sitting behind a computer screen. I admire your work ethic and calmness a lot.
I always thought throwing in a redirect you’re applying more compression force instead of horizontal pulling force which in my mind also makes me feel a lot better being tied into something dead and skinny 👊💯 thank u sir! Keep it up!!!
Enjoyed the video. Excellent planning and process. I carry the same straps in my rigging gear. Come in handy many times for various uses. That was a very adventurous climb. Stabilizing with the straps, double tie in, adding the additional remote anchor above your regular anchor, hand controlling cut limbs, utilizing stubs in addition to spurs....Kudos to you for the well thought out takedown of a very dead, linear cracked Fir. 👍👋✌
Fantastic Reg. So good to watch the points wherein discipline must take over...your cuts are so precise. Encourages me to push on in practice. Thanks for the upload.
I know you're a busy man reg but I do love your videos I've been watching them for umpteen years I'm 39 I'm a tree climber as well you are an inspiration to me and the tree climbing industry definitely I wish you could produce more videos I always wait for one LOL but as I said I know you're busy I know you have a family and that all comes first stay safe my friend God bless
Where you scared of heights when you first started doing this kind of jobs?

Balls of steel this man has. Thank you for another amazing video Reg.
Absolutely the same thouhgts i had
Deliberate tree-work.
Well you managed to keep my on the edge of my seat...had to keep reminding myself that you survived or the video wouldn't have been posted...much respect for both your skill and courage Reg!!!😵💫
Always calm controlled and calculated, just like all tree work should be done! impressive as always Reg!
I love the "no drama" style. Paying attention to the work.

Thanks mate. There not too 'many' actually lining up for these kind of jobs to start with. Saying and doing is 2 different things.
Lol how many!?! Lol
@@Recoates definitely have to agree that the word "many" wasn't the correct term. 😂👍

Hi Reg Bucking Billy sent me over.
Damn!!! I was on edge the whole video. It was like a long horror film, just anticipating something to happen.
Buckin sent me over, so you're not a tour guide!
Boy that was a bit dodgy to say the least, nice work. Stay safe.
Best wishes from Scotland

One of best high risk climbers I have ever seen. I’m moving on from that job, but I’m not one of the best, and knowing that is what keeps me alive.
Haha same here buddy I'm with ya. My balls are big compared to my mates but they shrivel in comparison to reg. Lol
I'd love to see you and buckin just sitting down in front of the camera talking about stuff, doesn't even matter what you talk about. Just a good hour of you guys shooting the shit....
There is a video of them exploring a forest together
@@petersimons5675 yep seen it.....I want more ! Lol
We have a good laugh over the phone every now and then.
@@justinjenkins4337 buckin Billy rays levels below Reg or even some very good climbers. His boy is already leaps ahead of him.
@@steppoffaith8426 Id say Bill is a Faller first, and Climber second. Im the other way around. We both eat up the work nonetheless.
That was artful. And pretty gutsy.
I know me, I'd have said f##$ the Rhododendrons lol.
Great one, thanks Reg!
Been waiting for a video buddy I hope all is well God bless my friend new device looks amazing
Nobody gets my nopemeter going like Reg. Well done as usual, sir.
Amazing to see those tops fall. Glad you got everything down safe, especially yourself. Thank you for showing us the view and taking us along.
Intense video. I appreciate the insight into some your choices. Thanks for the redirects up the stem tip. I bet you felt like a million bucks when you reached the ground again.

That tree looks like it's been dead for years.
Fucking mint! Watch all your videos and I think this is the first time I've heard you say "fuck", twice 🤣
unreal. Hats off Reg. Theres good climbers and great climbers then there is YOU
Amazing work, thank you for sharing. I have a 70’ maple near my house. I have to finish taking down. It has two dead leaders just like this tree had, and was wondering how the heck I was going to go about getting it down the rest of the way.
I know you know what your doing. More then most. But my god that was sketchy. Be carefull and god bless
Ho visto più volte il tuo video per capire come ti assicuri alla pianta e come la tagli: molto bravo!
I have seen several times your video to understand how you secure the plant and how you cut it: very good!
Like the comment you made Reg about clients waiting forever to take it down and making it more unstable as it decays.
So damn stressful, I hope you got paid handsomely for having to go up that nasty POS.
Thanks for the video Reg!
I was able to find the tree you were working, on Google Earth... (grin)
Client might be Echo Drive Boat Launch, or the neighbor Prospect Lake Boat Launch.
Tree looks in a little better shape on GE.
Always enjoy your stuff...
You are right. Echo drive, just after the boat launch
Next level work, good job, amazing edit!
WOW! Reg I hope you got a good pay day for that! Incredible guts.
Extremely supportive to take in how you go for it. Thanks for sharing.
You're a mad man. The worst part is, you inspire me to grow a pair when it comes to questionable trees! Maybe that's the best part...
G.O.A.T.
had me holding my breath Reg. Gentle, balanced work. Good Job.
That looked horrible gently does it ,must have been a big relief to get the tops out 💪
The undisputed !!!
The Yoda of the tree world.🤙
good information as usual Reg. Thanks for your time and effort
It takes a lot of finesse to know just how much to tighten those ratchet straps given that union you had to climb so far past. I’m impressed! And yes please people, call us before the trees have mushrooms growing out of them!
Not the first or last time you’ll see a tree that probably should’ve been removed long before lol.
OMG i feel alot of fear when i watch this i would be so scared if it was me ,i would fall down for sure
I've watched most of your videos - this one had me taking shallow breaths ! So glad you're posting videos again✌

you climb some shite Reg........smooth job though :)

Thanks for making these videos Reg✊ I really enjoy watching them @2:48 I thought that was Myrtle sitting there #bbrtruck
I am never so happy as when the two tops come off..Awesome!!!
Result! ya went higher than I would have.
I was nervous just watching you at the top of that one Reg.
nice to see you! funny, I use the redirect in exactly the same way. Cheers from the Netherlands!
nice work ! but why cutting the left top first ?
Thanks for another video. Pleasure to watch. Watching the way you methodically work a tree is very educational and has helped me to slow down and be a better climber.
I swear I end up more nervous watching than you are cutting in that tree.
Lol me too! And I climb trees like this regularly! No where near that tall in my area thank goodness.
Who do you work for I feel like that would be a awesome job
Holy cow if there ever was one good one for a crane I think that was definitely a candidate man that tree was dead dang good job love the video
No crane access, John. Unfortunately
Where you scared of heights when you first started doing this kind of jobs?
I was 17 when I started. And yes, very uncomfortable at height
Как говорят у нас в России, то что ты делаешь это "высший пилотаж" или "высшее мастерство". Удачи Рэг и пусть бог хранит тебя.
Another use for canoe straps.
You have to have some serious confidence in your self and that dead wood. That looked real brittle. I am on the East Coast and we don't have that species of fur here. Great job!! I think I counted about 4 seconds for a limb to hit the ground. I my butt was puckering when you took those tops.
Great camera work and a whole bunch of other compliments. Glad you took us along with ya. Almost forgot good job Dave.
You need a ejector harness with rockets and para!
A big hats off to you Reg. Know your wood!
gran trabajo reg

Hello Reg, love how you cinch the biner off on the trunk. Surprised the elite hasn't dissed you for that mate.
😉
A touchy tree handled smoothly. Thanks for sharing Reg, I always enjoy your work!
Your cool calm approach is very reassuring Reg. Lovely work friend . Hi from the land down under. 🇦🇺✊🏻
Hi Reg, I have the same saw, is this still the .325 0.43 bar and chain combo? Almost looks a little fatter like as if you’ve put a 3/8 sprocket and set up on, is this the case?
Reg you are a man's man.
Why wouldn't you use a mewp in this situation?
No access

"Dunno why you didnt just negative rigg it",? soz could help myself i was shitting my self just watching. the turm dodge a moondo comes to mind.
Youi're sort of a magician, making people sweat while they're 1000+ miles away sitting behind a computer screen.
I admire your work ethic and calmness a lot.
What's the name of the banjo tune at the end Reg? I dig it. Beautiful work on a crispy tree. Always appreciate your videos.
I think its called Shady roll. It was a download from a royalty free music site
Thanks.
Love seeing those NRS straps. You a boater too?? Was wondering if anyone else saw the power lines, till ya said something.
Toeing the line
