Great job on a tough tree in a tight spot!. Very labor intensive especially using a rope brake up in the tree but where there's a will there's a way and you certainly proved that well beyond a shadow of any doubt! Good job Reg.
Thats the most amazing video I've never seen an individual handle a tree that way to a point where it was like straight up an art form. Thats impressive
@@Joebin69in u ABSOLUTELY missed the root of his message, it was a compliment , but your EGO sees it as a threat, that's not uncommon, what's uncommon for a keyboard warrior to show some common human respect as a response
Wow that top went super smooth! Amber is good. That sawdust looked like snow in the dark. Awesome video, good example of how it can be done without a crane. And considering how huge that tree was it was amazing you got so far in one day.
I enjoyed the skill and knowledge you used in this dismantle as I have in many of your past videos. Did not like the reasons why you chose this method. I hope things improve for your clients soon as with everyone else who are finding times financially hard.
Thanks. You just caught me with the phone in hand. Can you elaborate on your 2 points please? My reasons for the method and you mentioned my clients. Thanks
The reasons are both the same. Your clients lack of money was a consideration from my understanding. This is as I interpreted it to be the primary reason you did not employ a crain in this instance. You mentioned access to other people's property's which I also understood. Some times it is just an uphill battle I guess. As I said I hope your clients financial situation improves. Your skills are impressive and i along with a great many others are happy too see them employed, even if the problem could be solved in a much safer manner as said.. Thanks for your time and posts..
@@vangoing ok, I dont believe they are short of money. We could use a crane to great effect on all of our removals....but that doesn't make it justifiable in financial terms. I gave a fixed price on the job at what I thought it was worth, the same with or without a crane. That is fair in my thinking. With a crane it obviously would have been much quicker and easier, but the cost to the client would remain the same, and Id be giving half of that money to a crane company. Instead, we chose to work without one, incentivized by securing an extra days work and wages from the job. If the tree had been seriously dangerous, or if there had been more than one tree, I might have opted for the crane option. But as it was I didn't see I didn't see a degree of difficulty or danger to sway me.
@@Recoates I understand the ressons you outlined. When you are the person (as you are) on the coal face, that is your choice. To my mind a person's safety is paramount over financial gain. It is undeniable that a crane would have been a safer opinion in this situation.. I'm sure your ropes and other rigging equipment would agree. No doubt of your vigilance on cycles to falure ect and your accounting for this in your costs. You are a skilled and thinking man. Unfortunately their are a great many people who are not so and put at the very least themselves at risk, and a great many other people who put others at risk in the ever lasting race to the top of the money mountain.
@@vangoing well, the only mountains I will be climbing are the ones with a view from the top. Im not looking for riches, just a good wage for a good days work. Yes, Im fully aware of cycles to failure....which is perhaps why none of my hardware has ever broken. My company is very small, put in context, but that's how I like it. I dont advertise, no signs on the truck nor claims to be a leader or an expert, as do many. Yet jobs like this one seem to find me more than not. Often is the case where others have in fact purposely priced themselves out of contention, tried to impose too many conditions or collateral damage, been full of excuses, or just simply walked away and said no thankyou. I also think what tips it in my favor is the fact that Ill tell the truth. Ill explain things in the simplest terms. Im reasonable. There can of course be handicaps to being short on manpower and bigger equipment. Like cranework for example, lets say this fir tree. If the crane cost is hourly, then the crane would mostly be sat there idle, waiting for us. Our 9" chipper and one ground worker would've been too slow to keep up. Theres always a trade off
Thank you Reg. Watching a 2 man crew dismantle a tree of that size safely is something I always will sit and watch. There are a whole lot of good, solid techniques being shown here. I am striving to learn everything I can and watching videos like this is a great opportunity for exactly that. Thanks for taking the time to shoot, edit and post up the video. Cheers Reg and keep yourself safe! 😎👍❤️🌲 Randy
@@kristopherhenry1255 it seems like everything is expensive in the tree industry. When I started, I was amazed at the price of ropes, etc. I keep it pretty simple, but a GRD is a good investment
I've been studying with you for a good four years straight. I couldn't pick nor would I want to pick any other mentor because of the demeanor that you choose in your everyday normality who you are. I just would like to say thank you very much for the patience and the videos of an expert tree climber. tell the family I said Merry Christmas if we don't talk beforehand much love and respect and thank you
I am a 60 year old stone mason from NH. Who knew that's what I was hearing the Verdi Requiem, I could listen to Reg all day. I understand what and how he says things.
Hey Reg, here's what I would have done, just before dropping that top I would have called one of the neighbours and say "Did anyone order a christmas tree?" and have Amber run a long zipline into their living room, and bang they got a christmas tree!
I’m always impressed by your work! I have learned a lot from watching you over the years. Thanks for taking the time to make these well done videos!💪💪 marathon tree for sure awesome job!!
Beautifully put together video - thank you. The calm & measured approach does it for me much more than the frantic hyperkinetic, which some seem to prefer. And the icing on the cake was the lacrimosa pairing: wonderful that so many others appreciated this too - I thought I might be the only one liking it. Perfect antidote to a world that today seemed full of hot-headed philistines. Happy Christmas, Reg.
another great video! textbook speed lining as always! Innovative approach to the timber although I would be slightly concerned about the high fall factors involved when snatching on to such a short leg of line. You obviously accounted for this sufficiently by keeping the pieces small though. Respect for doing a tree like that with such a small team!
Good stuff Reg, The thing about machines working hourly, is that it always seems like the operator is dragging his feet trying to milk a little more out of it.
I'm learning so much from you and your patience and thought process, nice work by the two of you. It makes it look easy, I know that was a big piece of work ,well done . Thank you for sharing.
Cool euro mount, I'm a fan , done 3 now myself, hard to get all the thin bits that want to hide and smell! I'm going to have to use more borax or something!
Second time watching this. Truly a work of art Reg. 👏🏻 From your thorough plan and smooth, safe execution all the way through. Thanks for sharing such great content with all of us!
Your first two clips spoke volumes without a word, "I've got to get going early today, we've got a big job, it's only one tree, but we really have our work cut out for us." (cut to tree view) "this is the tree, this tall Doug Fir, and as you can see we will have to rig it all down, limbs and all" I could tell it took a long time just to get the limbs down, some of them were quite large, really well done Reg, have a bit of a holiday over Christmas, you sure earned it :{)
@@matthewpolo227 I think they are distalls, but I bought them on day 1 back when I didn’t even know what a brand was. I got lucky. The main components are the shin guard, Velcro and cup like action on the boot which all together holds the lower leg firmly in the right place instead of it twisting round and sticking into your shinbone for example. Buckles aren’t good enough because they always ratchet back on the tightest point and you lose some tension on each click of the ratchet. But they originally came with a foot on the actual spikes which is very bad design IMO, I got new replacement gaffs, straight ones and keep them razor sharp, this allows me to spike with low effort while the secure pads let me rotate and put pressure on the spikes while I climb, meaning I can lean out and get to stuff I wouldn’t normally be able to. I’m nothing special but this is my experience using them.
@@aliray1165 Haven't climbed in 2 years..aside from my Buckingham spikes,( even w the velcro cushion upgrade they are not comfortable) ,I'd like to spend a couple K$ to upgrade all gear.but have commitment issues being an industrial athlete.I do have a few trees to climb in January ( they should prob be done w an aerial lift due to decay) so maybe that'll be the jumpstart needed to get back into it. At an intersectionand without directions.You a daily climber ? or few times per month ?

Hi Reg. Been watching your art for years now. Amazing stuff. I would like to wish you and your family best of times in the coming holidays and best of wishes in the new year. You are an inspiration. Greetings from Norway
There are times I think I'm watching a skilled surgeon perform BRAIN SURGERY! 🤯 You ARE the best, Reg! 😉 Late Edit: And a Merry Christmas to you and yours. ( 4/30/ 2021 ) A bit early. 🤭
Thank You! First comment I saw and I'll be dipped, now I know what glorious music I was just enjoying while watching my hand split oak and hickory burning in fireplace! A feller just had to subscribe ! I got here from August Hunicki 👍 love your content , Merry Christmas from Illinois!
@@mikesr3407 Mike I can Recommend You look at all the other Video's on Reg'S Channel . All Credit Goes to Reg and his choices of Soundtrack's ! Work you're way through his back Catalogue it will be time well spent , I simply pointed out the Composer as a few Friends were confused as to who it was and what Requiem it had come from . Take care when splitting you're wood .
Thanks for putting the effort to video this, really interesting to see you work. Liked the Requiem. Merry Chrimbo Reg , best wishes for 2021 and lang may yer lum reek.
Despite the very high strength of the line your using, the short drop onto the porta-wrap gives a very high peak loading. Not going to break it, but quite a “bang”. Is there scope (or even room) for a short (very ) heavy gauge spring between the portawrap and the attachment? Just to nip off the peak of the dynamic load. Always something to learn from videos. Keep them coming. Cheers.
Thought the same thing Matt. Personally I wouldn't be happy about shock loading any bit of rigging gear like that. There's another way of doing it using 5 rollers. As the limbs get heavier you screw the 2 adjustable knobs in to give more resistance and slows the speed down. Dont know that I'd use a carabiner for zip lining either, but I've only been climbing for a few years. Other than those 2 things he did a fantastic job.
The value in this video, like all of the videos you post, is immense. Incredibly grateful for your generosity in sharing your hard earned experience. An amazing career spanning over three decades, and if I remember correctly, three continents at least? Truly inspirational brother. I don't do tree work professionally, but I manage several woodlands and utilize tree work all the time in sensitive areas and the knowledge I've garnered from your videos has been absolutely priceless. Please reach out to me if you ever need anything. Thanks again mate,
wow, that's just amazing to watch! I'm not a tree guy nor even want to be. I couldn't do the climbing and simply wouldn't. But I do admire a master of his craft and you certainly now have my subscription. superb work
Hey does anybody know the name of the device that the rope is wrapped around from the main tree to slowly lower it to the ground?that solid steel or metal shiny speed reducer I need it’s actual name please to but one,,,😊
HEY REG. You are the best entertainer. Because when i see you're in a video and i know im about to be entertained. i know its from you. RUclips Because you are a entertainer and a professional individual . Your the best at what you do, and what you do is entertaining
That one time. Speedin some bigger limbs so got wrap on porta an but it flew n my half was to much just let go. Settled good friction took over. Thanx reg always good vids.
Tree cutting only takes practice to sane people… tree cutting goes wrong with stupid people. I am neither sane nor am I stupid… I am crazy so I just do based on common sense 😂
Awesome job man! I always worry when negative reading sizes that big because I'm always afraid the shock load will snap the rope 🪢... But great job notching each piece..
I never question your ability Reg. My hat's off to Amber. There's not a lot of women that would want that job and probably not a lot of guys that would give them a chance. You're a King. Merry Christmas to you and your family and too Amber and her family. Would like to hear more of your music if you get a chance.
11:05 Funny. I can look back on a life of achievement, challenges met, competitors bested, obstacles overcome. Ive accomplished more than most men and without the use of my legs. What makes a man Mr. Lebowski? [...Dude.] Huh? [...I don't know sir.] Is it prepared to do the right thing whatever the cost? Isn't that what makes a man? [Mmmmm.....sure, that and a pair of testicles.]
That zipline technique is just what I've been looking for! I've got a few dead trees between my garage and my neighbor's wooden fence. This is the best solution I've seen yet!
What I love about your videos (apart form the music!) is that you and your team are always so calm and professional. No silly showboating, no histrionics or fake jeopardy, just cool, calm, professionalism.
I'm sure "the visual" of a limb and attached branches being cut and falling to the ground as you cut, not knowing the exact instant it breaks, away it takes a while to get used to. It is like slowly backing my pick-up, with less than a clear view, out of a parking space only to have the car next to me suddenly and quickly pull forward. The sudden visual of the relative movement always freaks me out. Pushing off the top of the main limb as you descend, I would have this sudden terror as it fell: "am I still connected to the solid part" Great camera position and nice work, and lots of it, long day for sure.
Reg thanks for the glorious music and content, a feller just had to subscribe, been watching for a few months and sitting here in front of fireplace just now, this video is exactly what I needed!👍👍👍
Hi Reg, An epic finale to 2020! Every time you shoved one of those logs off and it came back to the stem, I could feel it in my bones! Slam, slam, slam, slam! A masterful execution with the resources at hand. You and Amber work quite well together. 👍🏼 May the remainder of the year and the changing seasons be easy on you my friend. Soon the sun will be coming back around.. and not a moment to soon. Cheers mate.. Shane

Hey does anybody know the name of the device that the rope is wrapped around from the main tree to slowly lower it to the ground?that solid steel or metal shiny speed reducer I need it’s actual name please to but one,,,😊
Perfect job Reg. Now that is where experience comes from.
Cheers, Reg: Merry Christmas, many thanks for sharing your thoughts and work.
hard work and long days for sure, not to mention a great job well done.

HEY REG.

Great ground work Amber & Nice take down Reg. Mittagong Australia.

Hi from the nederlands Edwin roewen
Merry Christmas from Scotland
That one time. Speedin some bigger limbs so got wrap on porta an but it flew n my half was to much just let go. Settled good friction took over. Thanx reg always good vids.
One thing that went through my mind when you where dropping a log.
“This mans skin is made of leather” no rope burn and fear of it.
Tree cutting only takes practice to sane people… tree cutting goes wrong with stupid people.
I am neither sane nor am I stupid… I am crazy so I just do based on common sense 😂
Is the 200t in for a service? all the best from North Leicestershire
No, I just needed to spend more money before the end of the tax year.
Awesome job man! I always worry when negative reading sizes that big because I'm always afraid the shock load will snap the rope 🪢... But great job notching each piece..
It's nice to see some of the work being done from the groundie's perspective.
man this is one of the most mind expanding videos i've seen in a while. thanks! definitely subbed and will be working through your past videos!
I never question your ability Reg.
My hat's off to Amber. There's not a lot of women that would want that job and probably not a lot of guys that would give them a chance. You're a King.
Merry Christmas to you and your family and too Amber and her family.
Would like to hear more of your music if you get a chance.
Another great video Reg👍
Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄
11:05 Funny. I can look back on a life of achievement, challenges met, competitors bested, obstacles overcome. Ive accomplished more than most men and without the use of my legs. What makes a man Mr. Lebowski? [...Dude.] Huh? [...I don't know sir.] Is it prepared to do the right thing whatever the cost? Isn't that what makes a man? [Mmmmm.....sure, that and a pair of testicles.]

I couldnt do the fast let go then over cooked an big piece comin at ya. Fraction to much friction bro.
That zipline technique is just what I've been looking for!
I've got a few dead trees between my garage and my neighbor's wooden fence.
This is the best solution I've seen yet!
What I love about your videos (apart form the music!) is that you and your team are always so calm and professional. No silly showboating, no histrionics or fake jeopardy, just cool, calm, professionalism.
Steve Pettifer agreed
It is going to be great to see you again. Have a good rest Reg. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the Christmas present. Very best to you and all.
I'm sure "the visual" of a limb and attached branches being cut and falling to the ground as you cut, not knowing the exact instant it breaks, away it takes a while to get used to. It is like slowly backing my pick-up, with less than a clear view, out of a parking space only to have the car next to me suddenly and quickly pull forward. The sudden visual of the relative movement always freaks me out. Pushing off the top of the main limb as you descend, I would have this sudden terror as it fell: "am I still connected to the solid part"
Great camera position and nice work, and lots of it, long day for sure.
Reg thanks for the glorious music and content, a feller just had to subscribe, been watching for a few months and sitting here in front of fireplace just now, this video is exactly what I needed!👍👍👍
Your style fits my brain. Right on Reg. Thanks. George.
I'd say pretty ballsey picking that music for this type of video but it worked great. Good job.
Good Lord Reg. I can't believe you smacked that other tree at 14:03. You should really be more careful.
For the record, this was a joke.
Hi Reg,
An epic finale to 2020!
Every time you shoved one of those logs off and it came back to the stem, I could feel it in my bones! Slam, slam, slam, slam!
A masterful execution with the resources at hand. You and Amber work quite well together. 👍🏼
May the remainder of the year and the changing seasons be easy on you my friend.
Soon the sun will be coming back around.. and not a moment to soon.
Cheers mate..
Shane
Merry Christmas to you and your family and amber... hope to see you soon :o) .... stay safe and warm :o)
Few things are as satisfying as watching a skilled trades man do their thing
