The balls it takes to negative rig a top that skinny and that high in the air the average person would never understand. After doing it for so long it becomes second nature, but the first few times you do something like that is a thrill that you cant explain to a person that has never climbed before. Even a really good ground man doesnt understand it. I grew up doing tree work as a ground man watching my dad climb, amongst other climbers, and I never fully appreciated what they did til I started climbing. Much respect to you
Especially up past that bow in the tree. for some reason those still always gimme that puckering feeling even tho i know how strong the tree is. Reg does beautiful work and his video skills are to match. Artisan quality
Once I had an inexperienced groundsman let a large chunk catch on the lowering rope while the usual kid was off getting something from the van...it was so fast, been thousands of limbs lowered with out even hanging up on the way down...this time the chunk swung and hit me straight on the shin and foot ...bottom half of my leg was black and purple ....
True. I sparred with a silver glove boxer one night. Went in to work with two black eyes and an out of place nose. Climbed a 100’ pine, over the primary, windy. I thought let’s see him do this!
You are definitely the king of the tree service removal. God gave you a talent and you grabbed on to it. Awesome passion you show in your work Reg. Great job brother!!
I really appreciate those camera angles, the video editing, and the music selections. It never gets old. Reg Coates= High Quality! Great Job as always!!
Thanks for the continuous effort into making all these videos I'm glad you didn't quit because I really would have missed the music and the passion that you deliver with the proper understanding of exactly a repetitive pattern that is completely the best sister overall. I love you brother wish you all the best from my family to your family.
It's funny, I was more nervous about the lower segments than the small upper limbs. As you get close to that fine deck, and as the logs get bigger and really heavy, even a slight error could cause a bad bounce off the ground and take out the support for his deck. Gotta trust the ground crew, ha ha.
Reg, I been watching your videos since the old Sony can days in England, I can not tell you how much I appreciate how much I learned from you over the years! 💪🏻
Love the team work. Especially impressive as your neg rigging approached the structure...the saw craft, rigging, hinges, timing. Thank you again -as always- for taking the time to share....no commercials! Purist!
You're videos are great I love them, I've no real interest in tree surgery at all but it's great to watch a man who knows his job inside out. Many thanks for sharing.
You deserve to have a lot more notice on your video’s. Wow. Talented individual and a bit looney. Thank you for what you do. Not many people are made out the materials you are !
Yes sir love watching your videos. All in a days work, no doubt you get some challenge tree’s. God Bless you and may he continue to keep you safe and climbing. Great videos..
Great work. What I take away from watching your work is being patient and deliberate. Focus on the limb at hand, be considering the next cut or two, but not worry about the next days work.
Reg, I tense up watching you work‼️ YOU ARE THE BEST OF ALL TIME‼️ I PRAY FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WISDOM‼️ I am humbled and Inspired by YOUR EXPERTISE‼️ I Love ALL your hiking videos also, THANK YOU AND BLESSINGS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY‼️
Hi Reg, I did not appreciate the art and the skill required until I started watching your videos yesterday. Your videos and music are at the next level as well. Greets from down-under. Best wishes.
Thumbs up Reg, great job! and absolutely great videoing of the job. Out of all the climber video's on here Reg get's my vote as the best of the best without a doubt. Martin's Tree Works Santa Cruz California.
Man don’t leave it so long where have you been I have been waiting anxiously ! Obviously living the Canadian dream 🤘 name that 2nd soundtrack please your vids always get the hairs on the back of my neck when you lose yourself in a climb and never become complacent when the chaos and calmness combine into confidence ! Awesome thanks Reg🤘👍
Loving ya work fella . Thanks for the inspiring vid. Wish I could do your job as well as you do . Professional at work. Very enjoyable watch. Can almost feel the dust in my eyes .👍👍
Thx for sharing. I really like your “new” video style. Nice calm transitions and video angles. I find great inspiration to use in my own videos (yes on my channel😫😅). The music is a great touch. I don’t know where I would have been in treeclimbing without youtube - feel like cheating😎
Two man crew is tougher on both guys, but it's how I do 90% of my work. Great work Reg👍 Love your rigging technique here, & plan on integrating it into my rigging setups....AKA (Steal it)😂 STAY SAFE
Your the man reg. Weather you realize it or not. But the more you take us with the more you help us be safe in this industry. Your a legend.. I hope for my name to be as well known by starting and experienced climbers one day. I love watching your stuff reg. Please bring some more of your masterful content to youtube, We all enjoy it. I know you said you hate doing the editing and computer work because it brings no gratification. But its because your doing as a chore for yourself. Not as a gift to others. And that's what you are reg and what you provide. A Gift for us all. Be safe and climb safe buddy. Really hope your doing well.
Mr. Coates, when you top the tree and its trying to buck you off, can you please try to keep your head still? I got a little motion sickness there for a moment. Thanks.
Real skills rigging those big blocks down around the roof line. I could just see a big half moon smashed into the eave. I wouldn't have had the nerve, probably would've had to vertical speed line those.
Top notch rigging as always. I giggled a bit when you held up the blue gadget and then checked your red rope runner before taking out the top. Not a good time to be colour blind I would imagine. Always worth a double take!
When somebody says “what is the definition of a man?” I will show them this video. I’m terrified of heights. You deserve every penny you make and then some.
He is from nr Manchester, i could not figure it myself so i asked him. And i live not a million miles from there, so difficult for most people i think👍
Always surprised how quickly the wood gets fat. One min you were finishing the top wif a silky, and next you have a big saw knocking out the spar. Wish ya good health and tnx for the vid.
I have a couple questions and then a statement. Sorry for the long comments. 1st the music in the beginning was awesome what was that piece and can I purchase it commercially? 2nd I just picked up a 540xp (the exact saw you have this one just rebuilt) and was wondering what chains you run on yours. I hand file but everything so I want to start on a good base, all I see has those safety drags on them. I have looked at the stihi chain but was not exactly which chain. My statement is this, thank you sir! I know to do a video is a huge pain is the ballsack. Camera angles, dead batteries, forgetting to hit the record button and corrupted cards and that’s before you even edit the film. You have said, and I totally get it you don’t want to film something that you have filmed before, just for the sake of content. This is how I see it EVERY job you hone your craft ( not job) craft is something from your soul a job is just, and only for a paycheck. You love what you do and it shows in each and every job. It looks like you already have a game plan in effect on its removal. You make it look like a “paint by numbers” type of thing. It memorizing to watch you at your craft. The saws are and extension of your arms. I’m not trying to blow smoke up yours helmet. If you ever think you don’t want to film something because you think it’s too repetitive, well, from this viewer, it’s not each job it different and showing all how you go about your craft is something to see. So, off my soapbox, and thank you, seriously, thank you, not for doing your craft but taking us all along with you. It’s hard, heavy, hot and dirty work and at the end of the day the last thing toy want to do,is edit. Thank you for that added work. Stay safe Reg!
Thanks. The music was a download. Ill find it and get back to you. Im not overly particular about chains, so couldn't tell you whats on there right now. They seem to have different ones all the time at the store, and as Im usually rushing I take whatever they reach for first. Ive always hand filed too, and the results suggest that I dont think I need to change anything
Reg stay cool I see where it's abnormally hot in BC. I'm in RI south of Boston and it was 104 today. Crazy. But then I'm sure you had hotter in Australia perhaps.
