I love this guy, typical northerner , crazily successful yet somehow a bit dour and a bit down in the dumps! Greetings from Belfast where we are kinda similar.
You really are the best there is when it comes to this line of work Reg. Cool, calm, collected and ultra professional 👍. Great video, thank you very much 😀
Another enjoyable vid Reg! You're really good at getting the good camera angles. I can't imagine taking the time to set cameras up when I'm so focused on the tree work. You really must be a very patient and focused person. We really are fortunate to have someone like yourself taking the time to help the rest of us get better at what we do. I for one really appreciate it. And let me tell you how much the RCW 3001 has helped with these uprooted and tornado damaged trees that we're cleaning up here in the southeast these past few weeks. Thanks again mate!
Morning Reg. I love your perfect execution of every job. Every detail taken into account. Great education in your explanation. And if I do say your mellowing in old age😂😂😉. But seriously bloody awesome. Be safe. 👊👊
Well done Reg. And thank you for taking the time to record some video and post it up for us to watch. I really do appreciate it. Watching you make hard work look easy is an encouragement to me to learn more and be a better climber. Thanks again and keep yourself safe! Randy
I know you are not one to video all your work, but as one of those sessel poopser`s, to old and know nothing about tree work, one`s like me enjoy watching a cool headed, knowledgable profi, just doing his job at minimum exspense for your company. Stay safe and film as much as possible, you keep us entertained and it brings back memories from the good old day`s in the wood`s falling.
Man that looks like a Picasso hahah good work like always man. Crazy you’ve been on here this long. I just watched horse chestnut removal from 11 years ago I remember watching it when you first out it out. Thanks for all the years of quality work I’ve learned allot from you reg.
Hey reg thanks for the concideration of others... I'm a self employed tree surgeon in the uk and also got a young daughter so I've decided not to go back to work until its calms down, so thanks for the videos mate. Be safe
Thanks for sharing Reg, I see the idea of the friction hitch on the line now. The line doubles as a tag line or pull line for the groundie it seems.. Looked pretty smooth.
For you to take out the time and draw that up to explain it to us is very much appreciated at least by me it is always have enjoyed you taking your time to explain things thank you very much!!
Thanks Reg for the video. It seems like all of my jobs run longer than I expect them. I can always do them a lot faster in my head. I need to allow extra time for complications I guess. I am stuck at home. But it’s due to being down in the back. Not sure how long this will last but ,I hope it’s over soon. I appreciate the content while I am recuperating 👍🏻
I truly appreciate your explanation of the job and your absolute mastery of your craft and your willingness to share. It is such a pleasure to watch. Be safe.
Awesome design and rigging system. These big logs went off so smoothly, great job to preserve the other tree 👍 I only own a Port a wrap which is ok for most of the work I do but the Stein is definitely a nice piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and healthy
Delicate work it seemed, loads of targets. Solid as always. Had a similar job where I span rigged between the 2 flanking trees to avoid swings and negative rigging. Glad to see u well. Thx for sharing.
Thank you Reg , i appreciate your explanation and time. Any videos you can send our way would be great, I think I’ve seen all your videos twice lol. Anyway thank you again. Peace out ✌️
Me=just bomb all that shit down, fill the hole with saw dust, and get to the next job. Great job taking all that extra consideration! I am always a little envious that you can afford to do everything so meticulously, if I had to do everything over again I would go minimal. Your company structure seems more enjoyable than running a larger operation and dealing with the added stress of more employees and more customers.
I think the winch on the RS3001 is a massively underrated piece of kit. The 3001 is proven and bomb proof. You add the winch when its needed. It works really well at a good price compared to expensive alternatives. Just saying :-)
We probably were able to take almost, if not all, the stretch out of the rope, which means he doesn't have to wrestle it off the stem, and doesn't have to worry about where it will bounce. I've done it without the winch plenty, and it is a lot more..... exciting.
Did you take away all the large material as well? Any tricks you use for loading up the heavy stuff with just the two of you, or do you just cut and quarter everything?
What a gorgeous property and a nice day to be in the tree. Im on the east coast of US and your job sites always look so different than anything around here. Thanks for the explanations of whats going on. I really like those prusik slings you use, great idea
Loved the video. Thank you for continuing to share with the world. How did you retrieve the rigging sling? I'm guessing a retrievable friction saver of some sort. Also, where was the rigging line tied to itself to form the loop? As long as the knot doesn't have to pass a rigging ring I guess it wouldn't matter much, but I wonder if you have a preference, and why. Thank you in advance if you should have time to answer.
Your explication is so damn spot on helps the ground techs out a ton and shows us climbers how a true master does it keep up the good work and inspiring all of us viewers
Impressive work! Can’t believe you guys had everything chipped when your shooting the lowering of the logs.. do you come down to help chip? Thanks for sharing!
I came down for lunch after Id finished with the battery saw, but Aaron had kept on top if the chipping prior to that. No dragging so it was easy and quick to process
Not had one day off here in the midlands uk but I’m self employed so.... people have been keen to keep going which is ace, just no coffee and less chat
Man reg I hope you bid that one proper. Was that a 5 to 1 crank on your Bullard??? Those looked like 8 foot sections 18 to 30 in diameter. Impressive how you take the load off to reduce dynamics. Thats a video you dont normally see.....save that crane money.
Bravo. Give a small explanation and how the bollards work this might keep the younger people informed a little better thank you great video be well Reg
I saw a chipper, i think, off in the distance. Could you advise the make and model. I use to own a BC 1000, it was more than I needed( a lot more). I don't do large removals anymore, just pruning but stacking brush is a drag. I am just looking right now and would be interested in hearing your opinion. Very nice Video and we are back at work as of yesterday, here in Ontario.
It's a bandit 90. A little smaller than the BC1000, but not much in it. Both good machines, it's just that some people like Vermeer, others like Bandit. Like still and Husky
On that piece of equipment what is the cranking power ratio please reg I like the rc1000 and the 2000 put it on a solid bone that idea should have been thought about a long time ago
Because the line rising from the bollard to the first rigging ring on the adjacent tree would have been in the way of logs that came down later....and also positioned the line very close to the saw as I worked my way closer to the bottom. Plus, to maximize the strength of a spar tree, which was the adjacent tree, the rigging line should ideally be vertically aligned from the bollard to rigging ring....not at an angle. Hope that make sense
