I don't really wanna sit in a machine all day I'd rather get my hands dirty and be outside

    I really appreciate your style reg. I appreciate jacob and august's work but they stress me out watching how they move around in a tree. Your slow methodical style is the best way to avoid any hazards. I personally feel I've adopted your style of work when it comes to taking out trees. slow and stead wins the race. Hope all is well reg and really enjoy your content.

    Thanks Reg,
    You give me the confidence that when you need to take your time, just take your time. I often feel like i need to pick up the pace when im slow stepping up to a dead top in a tree, and thats purely just for the sake of the employer or other people i may be working with but at the end of the day when your life is on the line to ensure the safety of others by removing hazard trees like that, there is nothing wrong with taking all the time you need to do the job safetly.
    You inspire me more then any other climber, Much Respect. And Thank you.

  • @cgfitnessandarboriculture
    @cgfitnessandarboriculture Год назад +3

    I like how you take the extra time to take added safety precautions and think things through. I did a removal a few years back, some skinny trees leaning over a shed and they were still in fairly good condition I believe, but we decided to add a support system by anchoring them to a large maple nearby just for the added support because of the lean and the size of the spars and the fact we had to climb high to speed line the tops over the garage. As a climber whether you’re working for a company or you have your own operation, you’re in charge and should do what you feel comfortable with to be safe. Don’t skip steps just because the ground crew might be rushing you or the boss wants you to hurry up.

    Enjoyed the video. Excellent planning and process. I carry the same straps in my rigging gear. Come in handy many times for various uses. That was a very adventurous climb. Stabilizing with the straps, double tie in, adding the additional remote anchor above your regular anchor, hand controlling cut limbs, utilizing stubs in addition to spurs....Kudos to you for the well thought out takedown of a very dead, linear cracked Fir. 👍👋✌
