This was a great video. It's amazing to see the whole process, and nice to watch a skilled person do something so well. So much better than watching 40 minutes of garbage broadcast tv programming. Thanks for sharing this.
As one gets older, there is a natural tendency to use what we always used to get a job done. This causes a gradual shrinkage of our circle of competency as technology moves along. It is refreshing to see you constantly trying new things, now using the Rope Runner on the climbing line, and even a micropulley on the top rigging prusik. Bravo!
I agree with you, I’m guilty of it myself,been a plumber for 37 years now and I don’t like change but I find that I need to learn to adapt....good thing with age comes wisdom! I am not a tree climber but I follow Reg for his work ethic and life approach.
@@georgethreadingham4618 no cinch needed for a zip line but in this case you need to put the brakes on the branch so the decent is slow and controlled..
Yes very glad your back reg. Glad to see the Legend once again.... Weather you realize it or not my friend. You are going down in history. A very unique mind at work, love watching you work such a professional. God bless and stay safe my friend
You are a great role model for anyone on how to properly carry and conduct oneself regardless of profession or lot in life. Very high level of civility.
Anyone that knows you could never say you have a bad attitude, gum or not. This is an interesting job with only two people. Excellent! Thank you for doing a video. I really appreciate watching and learning from your work!
I am 61 now and that ship has sailed for me to climb. I climb masonry scaffolding though still. I am a mason and so buzzards have to eat same as worms. I am a land owner in NH and tree work explained buy you men out in the Pacific North West has set me straight on the way of things. Thanks you for taking the time to make a vid when you can. I have been trying to take a hand on making a vid or two. It is awkward. The hair is your signature.
I can appreciate that. I thought it'd sailed for me too, but I started back at 58 a few years back out of desperation and at first it was ok but at 59 I hit a wall. Then something in one of Regs videos actually, just a quick mention he made one day about how as you get older the biggest thing is staying lean. If you're heavier the climbing will get harder and at the time I was struggling a lot but just hearing him say that lit a little fire under me so I dropped 15 lbs literally within a month and suddenly I could climb and stay up for a few hours again. I can't stay in the tree 8 hours like I could when I was 31, but I'm turning 61 in September and I'm finding I can easily go 4 hours in spurs without any difficulty and I'm even finding the next day is not too bad either. So not sure how long I can keep it up but that's the challenge I've put in front of myself and life's gotten kind of exciting again. Mason though, that's no slouch work either for a 61 year old, and scaffolding, uggh, that's heavy work. Rock on Marc. Here's to 10 more.
@@Boomer_in_the_Trees Well said. I wore out my right hip. In New England I did Iron work in Boston in my early 20's when the kids were in the house. During the 80's most every one had to diversifies to earn a living. I learned early on to stay on the same project for any good period of time the masons were the ones ho had a home.
On the note of the wood chips one of them stihl backpack blowers will blow them suckers to the next county lol. I find them handy for spreading big chip piles around the wood yard and such. Stay safe and keep cutting Reg
Mr Coates, Absolutely love your videos. Since last one I was checking everyday for a new one. Even started to worry if everything is ok. Please keep sharing your work with newbies like myself. You are an inspiration!
Nice Job ! I Have noticed if you remove smaller trees that are technical, you can get more customers Done in a week ! In return more referrals and over all more Money, less headaches of the Bigger removals! Good to see you Back at it !
You never cease to make my (work) life easier. I friggin LOVE that mid line choker setup! I can't wait to use that with my safeblock! Thanks for the video, i know it takes a lot of time to film and edit.
Not taking it away from you reg (been watching since the near by knutsford days) but this and many of your other vids shows how valuable a switched on groundsman is. they get little recognition , especially on youtube vids....Arans a credit and seems like a guy any climber would give his right arm to work with..
I am greatly appreciative of the work you put into your videos, Sir! It is hard work telling a great story about hard work. Thank you, Reg. I really liked the footage of your climbing and rigging gear in particular. That was very instructive. Again, thank you!🍻
I have been a groundsmsn professionaly for 15 years and have really enjoyed . Watching many great climbers . Wish I had started climbing when Younger . Am 60 now and you have inspired me to climb in my own pace doing work for friends . Love this video , says so much . Thanks Reg . Marcus
No doubt production of content and making quality up to your standards can't be easy ! Thank God you keep making films I Love them , your halfway up that's probably as high as any tree I will ever go ! Here in Illinois the biggest tree I might ever get in will be a bald cypress. My niece has three I think and that is my goal ! You have inspired me to make this my hobby / help family and such ! Thanks Reg ! Great view up there .
Thanks for the video . I know it must seem tedious and repetitive to you but to a mere mortal like me your work is awesome I'm too old to start in tree work . When you put a video out I'll be here to watch . so no rush from me
I loved the big long breathe out you made at 14:40 when the top went off. I missed that the first time I watched. There are a large number of gnarley limbs on these cedar trees and its a lot of limbs for only two people to handle especially when you are doing triple duty. You are amazing. Chunking out at the end, while climbing, with a 390 saw and a 36" bar that I struggle with on the ground, to remove the stem is amazing. Thanks for the video work which is excellent! I know making the videos is tedious but it is really appreciated!
Super good vid. I enjoyed the whole thing. That first climb yesterday was a tough one with all those branches. The electric has its place, and the gas has its. Thank u!!
It’s amazing to watch a couple of skilled men handle a job like that. First time I’ve seen the prussic on a rigging line but I can see how it’s effective. Stay safe Reg. Thank you 👍🏻
Great point about the wood chip. Pleased for you the client cooperated. I’ve started using thick plastic ground guards which work a treat. All the best Reg and glad to see a video upload.
great video. Very thankful to you and others who take the time to make a video. Tree work is tough enough without adding to it. I am all for just Reg Coates in a truck telling it like it is with no editing. Your take on starbuck's and their customers is my all time favorite... A true classic . Be well.
Extraordinary work Reg...with all the limbs.... a bark like razorblades.... proximity to the structure. You do the most challenging and complicated fells.... what you call "routine"! 😉 Appreciate your filming. Thanks.
Always love watching your content! Good to see your back making some more videos👍I would love to see a video on the rigging you used in this video. And props to your ground man! A great ground man like him definitely make for an efficient job👏
Great video as always. I've always admired your patients to do them, especially so many of them. I've been a follower of yours for a few years now. I used to come for your technical information to help further my own career and stay safe. You've made an immense contribution towards that and I am very grateful. That said, I find these days I'm more interested in the parts of your videos where you just ramble your thoughts to the camera. I get a good kick out of the things you have to say and the way you say them. Perhaps you'd do well with a podcast? Whatever you decide to get into in the future I wish you the best and thanks again for all you efforts here!
Mad respect for you Reg 120% buddy your work and professionalism speaks for itself and shows that you care about your work and for the environment your methods are just fantastic your planning is spot on 👍 ten out of ten.
I hope one day to accumulate just half the knowledge in the tree's this man has.. Regg is super efficient In every execution I've seen so far.. Simply incredible. Great work man.
Thanks for the time and effort processing the film. This mornings silver birch in a back garden in Warrington wasn’t anywhere near the same scale , but same principles ( a lot of which I’ve learnt from you) still apply , stay safe , good luck with the hair cut. Regards Warrington UK
Thanks a lot for the videos you do put out I could understand, for 32 years climbing / ladder for a cable company the last thing I would want to do is see myself doing the same job while editing my own video. You take a brake Mate’ and when you do put a new video out I’ll enjoy watching it, in the meantime be safe and may God watch over you 🙏🇺🇸
Reg your videos, though far between, are always quality & I for one will take that over quantity any day. Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge much appreciated!
I did in fact enjoy watching. Thanks for all the fussing about with the cameras and sitting through another edit. It was worth it to me. 😁👍 Alway's like your attitude and workmanship Reg. Hope all is well. Cheers 🍻
I think I watch your videos cause I am a carpenter! And I say some of the same things & the video in my mind is enough ? Thanks for the hard work making them for Reg !
Thank you for posting the great RU-vid Reg always appreciate watching your work. I reckon if you could have craned out the lengths the timber would have been worth about 3.4 million dollars 😂 Good to see you the other day on the road ( shaffer and sons / Myles ) Thanks again for posting 👍🏻
Thanks Reg! I know its a pain to make the videos. I only make mine so I can get work, I don't really have any RU-vid followers lol, and only about 100 on Instagram but I post my videos in local FB groups and other social media sites with localized group pages and they always seem to bring in the work fast, so I keep doing it but since I shifted 80 percent of my time to one large farm client I don't really make many now unless its a bigger tree or I'm playing around for whatever reason with the cameras. So I appreciate your taking the time when you do and this one was great, talking about the job, the decisions, the clients desires and how you approach them, and of course the long camera shot of you going up the stem with the big flip line explaining how you lean in and such, watching you disappear up that stem good stuff. I struggle with a large rope flip line for some reason, not sure just me, I use steel core lines because I like the way they throw and come back to me. When I use a big rope I end up playing cats cradle... :) , but I love watching you work with a big line like that. Its harder than it looks. Thanks REG! Great video!
For someone who always has both feet firmly on the ground you make it look like so matter of fact. All down to the right attitude, years of experience and thinking it through. Your videos always flash through and always very enjoyable. Stay safe Reg and enjoy life. You would make a great dinner guest. From over here in England.🇬🇧
The single glove wearing had me giggling pretty good. And the gum bit. You're funny, I always have a laugh at shit you say. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit this shit, I know it must be tedious, but it is pretty entertaining and funny as hell at times. Plus you're the only fucker I can watch do removals and not constantly say to myself 'why the fuck is he doing it that way' every 5 minutes. Appreciate your efforts, mate. And the humour. You remind me of every Manc I ever knew, leaving out superfluous words like a proper northerner. That shit always makes me smile. Thanks for doing all these, they've been really fun to watch. And sometimes hilarious
