      Well said August
      Well said!
      Reg is in a class that most great tree men can’t hold a rope for.
      It takes great mental fortitude and physical endurance to persevere through jobs like that.

      And a nice pile of the most expensive firewood in the world, well done!

      well being opinionated might come close I suppose and living a mile down stream of him as well maybe?.

    Hey Reg, I’ve been following your work and career since I started tree work. I’m originally from Bristol UK. I’m now living in Australia, and have been here for over 7 years. I’ve been running my own show here for 2 years now, supporting my young family. Things can be tough sometimes, the stresses of staff and looking after everyone. But I find real solace and inspiration in your videos, they always level me back out and make me proud of the hard work and passion I’ve put into what I do over all these years. Just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for the industry and for other climbers like me in similar situation. You’re a constant inspiration to keep going and being the best you can be. Hope everything is going well for you and your family out there. Thanks once again mate. J

    I sometimes have in mind, while working, a phrase you once said in a video: "I'm not a chancer". The balance between time and risk. It's such a pleasure and a relief to see you working, to study the decisions you guys made, to wonder about other possible solutions (I always try to do that, just to jog my mind). Thanks for not making thrillers out of arboriculture videos and, if you feel like it, keep filming from time to time. Cheers!

    I sure wish videos like this would've existed when I started climbing 30 years ago, it would have been a lot easier to learn rigging and dismantling skills.
    We had so much pressure on us to make an hourly rate, and it's really important to see a seasoned pro do things in a measured and careful manner for the new guys, it really must be helpful to see that patience is the key to getting difficult stuff on the ground safely.
    Some of the absolute cowboy stuff I did in my younger days trying to make an hourly rate, this would have been so helpful to see, to force me to slow down and really think every cut through.
    You're doing important work, and I don't doubt for a second at least a few lives will be saved by observing your measured and patient methods. It's a delight to watch.
    Stay safe up there

The only thing I might have added was another 3000 winch to attach to that big tree in the back to tie on towards the front off the tree when you were bringing in down to the ground to pull it away from the shed. But as it turned out just barely touched the roof. Great JOB!

But as it was, the Cedar became part of the puzzle that also had to be carefully removed.
