  • This Fir Tree take down was for Alligator Creek Falling Ltd in Sooke B.C. The tree had extensive decay throughout the lower stem, a large cavity in the top quarter of the canopy and a prominent lean towards a house. A large section of the standing stem will be retained as a wildlife pole for the next 10 years at least. Thereafter it may be shortened a bit more. 2 of us completed the work by early-mid afternoon. We were able to discharge the woodchip at the base of the tree to lessen the impact and deflection of falling logs throughout. The whole area was logged in the 60s I believe. But this tree was evidently left standing because it was comparatively a poor specimen of little commercial value.

    That was some sublime, transcendent music.
    I don't think it is an understatement to recognize that you are the quietest and most low-key tree guy I have ever seen.
    And I mean it respectfully.
    Thank you for the vid and setting a good example for the rest of us.

    Great stuff as always, thank you Reg - thanks too for including the story of the tree in the description, I like that. These trees have lived a life much longer than our own; although trees are very everyday things, as individuals they're also pretty remarkable really. I think it's good for them to have a little epitaph to mark their final day. Or maybe I'm just a sentimental old fool 😉

    Reg you are an artist of our craft. I pride myself on being by far the most adept climber in my area but you sir are far better than I am. My hats off to you my friend and I hope to someday progress to the prowess and calm you possess. Most of what I deal with is 75+ foot elms and 100+ foot monster cottonwoods. Not much softwood where I am. I am not afraid of heights I respect them and work comfortably but most my work has to be rigged out.

    Thank you for posting your work and another fine job. It is nice to see your methodical and efficient work for maybe one day I can reach such proficiency. I doubt I have time to achieve such a level as such skill and motion elegance in going up and working the cuts with rigging and coming down has to come from many many ascents. Can’t imagine how many trees you have climbed but your work shows in videos the care and precision for the tree and yourself and your ground crew. I can only imagine the challenges in working the north west damp or wet trees. I like d the backing music also. Very nice. The video seems to allow one to get a glimpse into how tree work can be calming and zen like when you know what you are doing as you demonstrate in your videos. Appreciate you showing and taking time to produce the west big tree work. Great content. Interested in the gear also. I think you may have discussed it in prior videos. If it is available I may have missed the news.
