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.
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
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!!!😵💫
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Every time you make a video here on RU-vid 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 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 👍
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.
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!
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.
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.
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! 😃👍❤🌲
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. 👍👋✌
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!
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 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!!!
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...
A pleasure to watch a master of his craft. Not in the industry but spend a fair amount of time with a chainsaw maintaining my acreage. Standing dead always makes me pucker a bit.
