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!!
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.
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!
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! 💪🏻
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‼️
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..
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
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.
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.
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!!
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🤘👍
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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😎
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👍
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 .👍👍
the piece at 10.07 had me fingers crossed for the guttering ;) Sublime stuff Mr Coates. Am I getting it that initially on the smaller stuff you've got the pieces tied to what is essentially a lowering rope but hitched along its length rather than at its end so it also makes it a combined pulling rope ?
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.
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!
Great work Reg. Two question. 1. Why use a single ring instead of a double ring set up? when would you go with a double rings set up...those chunks look huge 2. When you were negative rigging the spar, where did you place the portawrap...was it at the base or on another tree. Thanks Thien, Hamilton Ontario
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.
Like your style. Is the prussik on the rigging line so you can also have the tag line on the piece? So it doesn’t get stuck on the way down or to divert it from other obstacles? I imagine with a long rope you can do a few pieces before having to pull the line back up.
We place the prussics mid line somewhere, so we can use the excess as a tag line. They can also be slid around into optimal positioning when rigging multiple limbs at once. 6, 7 limbs at once on the right job. Works well.
@@Recoates just realized that this could be a good option for solo work by locking off the rigging line at the base with a portawrap or whatever, and lowering the limbs when you're done climbing. for the right situation of course. good stuff.

Yup it's a sign of the cross and away she goes
So right. It takes a good rope man to keep you from riding the bull too.

I'm still not used to the sound of the battery saw, lol. Music fits this quite well. Thanks for bringing us along.
Once you have one for your own, you won’t want it any other way.
Totally agree! No more pulling, no more fuel, no more exhaust gases.
Me neither I’m no tree surgeon but Carnt beat the smell & the noise & the good old arm pumping from pulling her 👌👍
Atleast you can hear the music and they can hear each other.

That's true artistry on video. Nobody does it better than Reg. Two thumbs up!
GoPro makes the tree and saw look skinnier than they really are Reg.said one time. Awesomeness!!
Great work Reg as usual .... makes our fir tree look like a cakewalk 👍 Cheers
Your driveway is always a challenge.
Calm, collected, precise, I expected nothing less. Respect.

Awesome Reg I never get tired of seeing the view from up top. Such beautiful scenery up there. Nice work taking it down and stay safe.
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! 💪🏻
Welcome back Reg, always look forward to your videos. Cheers from Maine
Im loving, learning different rigging techniques from your videos.
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‼️
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..
Beautiful rigging job Reg
It's too bad it's not as easy as you make it look.
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
Most of our best work has happened on a two man crew. These days, I avoid working with big crews.
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.
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.
Nice job as usual Reg....you dropped that thing like a 2 foot putt😎👍👍
Great job Reg stay safe and keep knocking them down! Your rope man is on point nice work!!!
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!!
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🤘👍
Precise as always. I appreciate that you use a straight bladed hand saw. It really helps in keeping a proper hinge when theres no room for error...
Ditto
Love the hand saw on those beautiful lichenous top branches. Great video.
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 !
Man your work always amazes me. Great job..
Glad your back, beautiful video. Inspiring to watch you work your craft, much respect. Thanks for taking the time to share, take care.
Man you make it look like a walk in the park. So very well done!
Fred Dibnah could have felled that with 4 old tyres, some oily rags and a packet of Woodbines:)
And a flask of Yorkshire Tea!
Then work on his stream engine and ignore 3 wives before sundown.
😎
Always a pleasure to watch your presentations, Mister C. Stay safe in work and in life.
10:00. It’s sweet how you used the log below you to stop the chunk from hitting the structure. You are a master.

I like how you incorporate the tag line and lowering line all in one with using the sling and leaving a tale. Very clever
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.
I'll bet those clients felt every rigged log in their living room. Great job as usual reg
Thanks for sharing this, Reg. Incredible skill. I thoroughly enjoyed watching.
If the battery lasted as long as it appeared in the video, thats nice. Very fine work Reg and thanks for sharing.

masterfully done Reg! I aspire to be as well thought out and cautious as you some day. Thank you for every video
Wow,, nice vision of the battery saw in use,, but those big drops at the end were spot on!!
I was missing the scottsh accent, great Job of you Mr Reg, take care cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺
Reg is from England👍
yorkshire's numero 2 gardener cannot believe it, but ok, 🇱🇺😎
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👍
yorkshire's numero 2 gardener thanks a lot
So Skillful!! A master in action. Very educational. Thx for the vids.
After all the years of working. Still everything calibrated and considered. Calm and steady!
Truly one of the best,
Thanks for taking the time to show us, Jolly hockey mate
As if that was the only possible outcome!! Nice work, Reg, thanks for film/editing it for us! Cheers, and stay healthy!
good to see someone who focuses more on what he does than on the tools he uses. the same blaze rope, the same rope wrench the same ppe. Good job !
420 blaze it hahaha!!
That’s one well worn rope!
Hey Reg nice to hear from your again. Thanks for your RUclips videos You inspired me 🤛👍
Great teamwork and wow what a beautiful place to work ❤️❤️❤️
You need to make more video’s you are an excellent tree climbing and I enjoy to see your videos..
Nice work Reg good to see ya man.
Nice work man! Nice to see your calculated control. Thanks for continuing to make videos. I always get new ideas from your videos.
You shared some amazing shots and angles that seemed impossible. Great work you do.
Fantastic. So precise.
Yes when I saw What that top was above as you moved down Reg !! OMG lots of heavy clean up for you both Thanks for the Video Sir
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 .👍👍
Great to see ya again boy did they give you so much room 😂 spot on work as always hope everything goin well

Am I getting it that initially on the smaller stuff you've got the pieces tied to what is essentially a lowering rope but hitched along its length rather than at its end so it also makes it a combined pulling rope ?
Correct
Thanks I needed that. Hope all is well.
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 skipped video in the skinny logs Shane. Nothing to see
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.
Really enjoyed the ride, Thanks.
7.50.... Luvin the sounds
I could say that you're the Man, but you know that already.
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!
Always hate those last chunks leading up to the roof line. Good job man!
Good to see you that looks really fun
Very precise Reg , enjoyed every cut..!
Great work Reg.
Two question.
1. Why use a single ring instead of a double ring set up? when would you go with a double rings set up...those chunks look huge
2. When you were negative rigging the spar, where did you place the portawrap...was it at the base or on another tree.
Thanks Thien, Hamilton Ontario
Enjoyable video. Calm and methodically executed like the music. Cheers
Buttery smooth execution and team work Reg 🍀🤙🌲
Holy. Shit. What you do is incredible, and you do it very well.. props to you sir
amazing music, thank you! reminds me of the original Dune adventure game. an ornithopter assist would've cut this job in half, LOL
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.
A true professional. Great job
Thanks for sharing Reg.
Watch in awe
Awesome video very peaceful with the silky and battery saw
Awesome job dude. Bsafe up there brother.
Once again brilliant work fellas
I love your videos Reg. Thanks for the content.
Incroyable bravo.
Really enjoy your work skills Reg 💪
Wow that electric saw did great on the blocks
This video .... if Fred Dibnah was a tree man ....
Great work Reg! I got an oak like that ..starting to push my deck.. do you come to Delaware?
I'm diggin the electric. What one is that? How do you like it? Got your eyes on any others?
Like your style. Is the prussik on the rigging line so you can also have the tag line on the piece? So it doesn’t get stuck on the way down or to divert it from other obstacles? I imagine with a long rope you can do a few pieces before having to pull the line back up.

Reg Coates love that! We don’t do a lot of conifers in Missouri but I’ll have to try that out sometime.

nice work Reg. The camera angles were really great.
Couldn't wait for a video thank you
Hi Reg, Great video. What saw are you using to section the stem down?
Amazing, Reg!
Great work
I’m a new climber. How do you figure out a bid price on a tree like that? Thanks for your videos. Always helpful.
I compare it to similar jobs Ive done in the passed to determine how long it will take
Reg, why the prussic to attach the loop runner to? Is there an advantage over simply tying a bowline on a bight or an alpine butterfly? Just curious.
You got a real good ground guy.
Where do you get your music from? I love the multiple rigging slings attached to rope by prussic, what a good idea
