Hey Reg, cracking video as ever. Always remember that for every one crank that wishes you would fall out of that tree, there are 35.7k people to catch you. Keep up the good work👍🏼
I am 72 years old worked outside on heavy construction all my life and watching the video I got cold, wet and uncomfortable sitting indoors lol loved the introduction
I don't usually write comments but I think I'm justified for this one. I'm just starting in the industry in the UK, about 6 months away from finishing an apprenticeship and personally Reg I think you are the best of the best. I've learnt loads from the videos, and you've inspired me to be more confident up trees just by watching how calm and collected you are. All I can say is thanks and I hope the fountain of knowledge that is yourself doesn't end.
Great attitude. Never stop learning or thinking. There is an infinite number of situation the ways trees present their own set of hazards. Applying the theory correctly is the challenge. Reg is by far the best I’ve seen.
I 2nd that! While I didn't get started through an apprenticeship, I did start climbing trees because I had clients who wanted simple tree removals for concrete driveway installs, and it has morphed into this crazy obsession of loving the thrill of arboriculture. Reg Coates you've definitely helped me along this journey. Much appreciation for your work and your selflessness to share with us all these techniques and safe practices. I still have much to learn, as I frequently attend arboriculture events, but some of the things I've learned on here have outlasted even the in-person encounters. A true testament to the work you do. Thank you!
Always a great pleasure when you upload a video because I know it'll be worth watching. I know everyone here appreciates the time and effort it takes you to make a video for us.
Hey Reg. Thank you for taking down that tree. My children and I travel that road, it is the only highway out of the valley. I appreciate your removing a hazard that I dare not contemplate taking on myself. Take care, and happy days, from a neighbour.
@@1975dbryant Reg said the road was not damaged. That’s what I’m saying. In spite of the fact that a couple of those logs fell from at least 100’ and landed on end, the road wasn’t damaged
Thanks for the videos Reg. I'm a young climber that has relied mostly on training from you, August Hunicke, and Buckin' Billy Ray. You guys have enabled me to safely operate a small tree service business as well. One of the biggest lessons I've learned from you is to slow down and take your time in the tree. It's easy to start rushing and make mistakes. A nugget I got from August was to make deliberate cuts. Don't get haphazard with the saw, and mistakes happen when pieces get too big. Buckin tight me to relax in the trees, be at peace, and have a good time. Enjoy the work.
Professor, I'd love to have that luxury as well one day. Look's like much fun. I'm green so, i'm just practicing what I learned from one of your sermons long ago. About taking 1/5 of the log.
The sound when that first chunk out hit the road. Sooo satisfying, wann try that too. Bucket list for 2021. My luck the log would puncture the pavement and stand straight up.
That first cut sounded like thunder! I can't believe that you had to tell anyone anything about what you do. Thanks much for sharing. I appreciate you sir. Thanks for the show! What a show.
A very long day hanging on the rigging, in the rain and in the wind. This is one of the few channels a person can see tree work done on this scale at these heights. Thanks for taking us along. Old master at work, well done once again Reg! Nick, North West Farmer
Had an Argument with a Fat assessor on my rigging ticket about this, he clearly never climbed and wanted to fail me on my gob cuts being too deep ... Melt 🤣
@@T.Boil_Mtb next time have him explain why, he’ll know nothing other than he thinks it’s a rule. Undermining center of gravity of a nearly fair standing log probably wouldn’t enter his mind.
@@AugustHunicke Yeah when they are sitting in a deckchair weighing about 25stone then he already lost my respect when asked can you climb and said he has never climbed before after the assessment and seen him nearly hurt 2 other lads in the same week as a trainer because he was not paying attention or telling inexperienced lads to do something he would never do himself, then Ill argue it all day! 🤣
Should we make a donation for August’s supremely educated input? He needs more money the $600 New Tribe harnesses with a badly drawn creature aren’t selling fast enough. They really should be around $1000.
Legit. Ego aside, I've been fortunate to climb, fell, prune, dismantle and rescue parachutists from big timber. I've "det-corded" trees for hazard removals, worked wildland fire mitigation, and ornithology habitat - beetle infestation projects. At 50, I will attest the fortitude it takes to bid and successfully lop timber. I do not personally know the author, but I do relate to his handiwork. I thoroughly enjoy his channel - his work and I learn useful perspectives because of it. It takes focus - it takes good note taking to succeed. All hail the small business owner's who balances work - family - rest ratio for their timber projects! I'm inspired (sometimes jealous), but mainly excited to watch others enjoy the stoke of forestry. If ever in SW Colorado, never hesitate amigo. Keep sharing!
Not a stud. I just volunteered and was able to travel and learn some neat stuff. The Alaska Smokejumper Program provided my explosives training and cutting my teeth in west cost timber, allowed opportunity for me to log. Production - perpetuity logging helped me out immensely! What I learned from Mr Coates: SRT has really helped my shoulders, wrists, neck and elbows. I've incorporated a small capstan winch (I'm a small business) and I speed-line whenever possible. Like most of us out here, I've been lucky to be able to learn from my mistakes and give credit to my mentors. I do enjoy this channel.
well said. It is what Reg does not say that yell out. topping out old growth with root rot on windy day takes some focus. it always amazes me to see 3-6 foot dbh trees on the ground that appear healthy accept for 5-20 feet or so of rot at bottom. guess one moral to story is do not camp in old growth when winds are howling above 50mph. move to clearing or young stand.
@jonfrisch2584 hey Jon really interesting reading your comment, I'm a brit like Reg but my wife is from colorado, she's lives here with me in england but we may move there in a few years time. What's the tree trade like where you are ? My wife is from the springs. I like it round there.
I have to wonder what kind of super asphalt on the road below that doesn't get damaged from all that. The section of stem that flat landed and split completely in two was an eye popper. Best to you for 2021 and beyond.
Great work Reg. Every working man has his moment where he gets to the top of his game! Your definately up there! Best wishes from a cheshire refugee in somerset!
Reg, thank you for taking the time and effort to post up another great video. Absolutely loved the intro. It was spot on but, I'm sure there will still be the "usual" comments from "those people". 😉 Well done Reg to you and Ryan, "handsome fella that he is". 👍 Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤️🌲 Randy
Has to be the bravest person I’ve seen! I watch these vids cause I’m afraid of heights. Glad we have fearless people like you to keep our places safe. Stay safe, and don’t get overly occupied with the cameras. I really enjoy your vids.
Thanks for the heads up on the Camera angle , putting the saw and bar size text on the video helped viewers see the size of what you were working on there ! Not an easy day Reg , Thank you for the time and efforts making these wonderful Video's for us to view a day in you're working Life .
it's just great to see a new video from you Reg .. you're just insanely good! To everyone else who comes up with a bad comment, get your own channel and let us who love these videos be at peace
Just want to say I appreciate what you do reg And thank you for keeping it up and showing me and the world some of the most awesome views of the country keep it up, keep it safe , reg my brother Reggie digs it also.
Im so glad you got the opportunity to show us a small tree Ha But for real, nice to see the communication process. If you need more climbers I'll move up there. My name is also Ethan. But meticulous work as always. That's why I watch. 7 years now. Sadly, you are one of my heros. Oohi. (pain sound) But it's true. Much love. North Carolina USA
Reg, thank you for the great video. What you and Ryan did takes a lot of skill and nerves of steel. If the keyboard commanders cannot say anything nice they should stop watching or mind their own damn business. You certainly don't need to upload these videos, but most of us do appreciate that you do. Stay safe.
Amazing work you do. I am also amazed that some idiot would say they'd rather you fall out of the tree than to see you cut it down. Stay safe and healthy Mister Coates.
I work as a faller but on the mainland of BC doing mostly block falling. I spur climbed a tree a little while ago and topped it for a friend and chunked it down. I was pretty nervous, and my legs were like jello I was so tired. It’s impressive that your climbing that tree and hauling that big saw making those cuts. It’s a different kind of muscle group for sure than production falling. But they both can make you dog tired at the end of the day. I’ve been dabbling in arborist stuff a little more to keep things interesting and also help keep busy through the frequent lulls in forestry. Thanks for the channel.
24:02 "Well done Reg" to which he gets the reply "cheers" You are an awesome bloke Reg , I will watch every video you put out , a master of the craft you demonstrate again and again in your understated manner and use of language . Thank You and be well .
Really enjoy your watching your videos and thankful that you take the time and effort to make them for us to sit and watch in our comfortable armchairs! 🙂👍
There are so many shite tree surgeons helmet cam videos on CZcams but yours are brilliant. The heights, the vistas, the Manc wit, the self assuredness. I really enjoyed this one. It takes me back 30 years. Like you, I traveled around the world as an English arb, living and working in Germany, Austria, Australia and New Zealand. I'm still climbing but only to look for bats mostly. My partner is Canadian and she says the roads are tougher to stand the weather and thats why they dont break so easy. Keep up the good work. Might visit one day ha ha. Get the kettle on for a proper brew.
No virtue signaling. Instant fan. Subscribed. People are not used to seeing a real man, anymore, so they wish he was dead. Less important than a tree. A human being. If you were logging, no one should have a problem with that, either. Some may have noticed the U.S. goes to lumber as the preferred strucure for housing and other buildings.
Man Reg I would have to think that you had to be dealing with some intense exhaustion by the time you got back down from that climb and manhandling that 32 inch saw for all that time! Hats off to your skill and endurance.
Reg, I’d recommend you guys keep some whistles on you for a cheap and reliable backup comm tool. It’s a lightweight alternative to dragging 2 radios up 200’. Have a simple code pattern for the necessary commands.
The timber felling is in perfect tune to the harmonious music. Effortlessly floating down from the precision of the cuts. Great to watch again. Happy Christmas 🎄
I enjoy watching your methodical approach...I will occasionally find myself getting caught up in production over precision. Nice to see a reminder from the best. Cheers
Im glad for the preview, my worry was for the road, thanks for addressing it first hand. Good work Reg, in my opinion there are too many danger trees looming over Vancouver island Highways.
Always like watching the vids. 140' is about the limit on hight here in the south. I'm 52 and climbing is all I've ever done, so the body is starting to hurt. I've been skydiving for 25 years and after I took the sport up nothing is tall. Y'all keep it out the dirt and play safe 🇺🇲🦅🪂👍🏼
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one's around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Who knows! BUT....if a tree falls from a height onto a highway, and its recorded on video....THAT SOUND IS AWESOME!!! Thanks for posting good sir! Even with the rain, that is an amazing office view you have! Stay safe, and enjoy 2021!
Those critics are misguided at best and self righteous at worst. They don't understand the cycle of life, but has a very narrow minded point of view. They feel justified to wish ill on you undeservedly. Just know that most of us appreciate the hard work you are doing, and keeping travelers safe, while helping the forest stay healthy.
Thanks for coming out Reg thanks to the other climbers Ryan Dazy Caden and Stefan and the ground guys who worked on the job. I can honestly say that was the most miserable weather we have ever had on that job, hats off to the guys for getting up there and getting it done.
Smashing vid Reg. Liked the anti naysayers intro a lot! I’m a Humble Groundie here in the UK. Doing my Cs32 next week, finally, after 25 years of felling small trees .
I'm glad that you clarified yourself. I'm not happy about these logging people. The more they cut the less oxygen well have to breathe. So you saved me asking why would you work for such a company....but you don't. So all is good. Keep up the great work weeding out the sick ones.....
Hey Reg you are one bad arse arborist mate we mear mortals find it hard enough taking down big trees without wind and rain my helmet goes off to you mate your a god
Working on wood since 15 years, but no idea of your job there... absolutely great video.... Too short, thanks Reg stay safe cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 europe
I used to work as a utility forester for asplundh tree, on a puget sound energy contract brings back memories of my early life. It always amazed me to see the climb crew and people like yourself do what you do each day.
Isn't that such a contradiction people are so worried about the trees that they will tell you that they wish you would fall out of the tree or wish you were dead. I respect that you say what's on your mind and you tell people how you feel about what they say keep doing what you're doing like seeing your videos learn from you have a lot of respect for you.
Your a master Reg. love your work. It is impressive that where you live they inspect trees along the highway for hazards. Here in Montana it seems that we just wait till they fall across the highway before someone says I guess we should have done some preventative work guys.
Giving the weather conditions this a very good camera work . I really liked the log that pegged in the road . You are a badass keep safe , and thanks for the virtual adventure
Well that made my 20 metre birch rigged down over a fence today in the snow, look like something a 5 year old could do with it´s eyes closed. Inspiring and frightening at the same time. There´s really only one of you in this world. Great stuff!
Stuff of dreams! Thank you for sharing Reg, good as ever. In my humble opinion, you are at the absolute top of the line of work. ('though you'll probably disagree:) ) Keep 'em coming! Love from the Netherlands.
When those logs fell...my god, the absolute WHALLOP they pack when they hit the ground, I'm shocked that the road remained undamaged. Absolutely amazing work, Reg!
Best line "spare me the virtue signaling it really is wasted on the likes of someone like myself." Perfect articulation!
No doubt. That was very well said.
Doesn’t make sense to em what does he mean by that

I’m impressed with the quality of that road. To be piling driving big logs like that without hurting the road speaks to its robust construction.
I think I seen one of them spear the road though. Not that it's easy to judge where the cut needs to be from that height.
@@1975dbryant Reg said the road was not damaged. That’s what I’m saying. In spite of the fact that a couple of those logs fell from at least 100’ and landed on end, the road wasn’t damaged

They don't understand the cycle of life, but has a very narrow minded point of view. They feel justified to wish ill on you undeservedly.
Just know that most of us appreciate the hard work you are doing, and keeping travelers safe, while helping the forest stay healthy.
Reg you are the man! A true pleasure to watch and your videos are still my favorite!!!
Thanks for keeping one of our most dangerous highways safe! Im headed to big doug on monday!
Great video Reg, thanks for the time spent explaining.
Nice work Reg, particularly liked the start to clear up any questions. Stay safe
The sound of the logs landing perfectly flat on the ground. 😊 Trees die and have to be removed. It’s that simple. Another great job, Reg!
Thanks for coming out Reg thanks to the other climbers Ryan Dazy Caden and Stefan and the ground guys who worked on the job. I can honestly say that was the most miserable weather we have ever had on that job, hats off to the guys for getting up there and getting it done.
Smashing vid Reg. Liked the anti naysayers intro a lot! I’m a Humble Groundie here in the UK. Doing my Cs32 next week, finally, after 25 years of felling small trees .
Thanks a lot, Reg!
Great video.
All the best for the new year.
Thank you for this excellent video Reg, greatly appreciate the time & effort.
That was a long way down great job loved it thanks for bringing us along
Sure do enjoy your videos Reg, always lots to learn, and all the while, peppered with a bit of dry humour in the commentary. Keep up the good work!
I'm glad that you clarified yourself. I'm not happy about these logging people. The more they cut the less oxygen well have to breathe. So you saved me asking why would you work for such a company....but you don't. So all is good. Keep up the great work weeding out the sick ones.....
Hey Reg you are one bad arse arborist mate we mear mortals find it hard enough taking down big trees without wind and rain my helmet goes off to you mate your a god
I love the opening comments 😂 I'm glad you made back it down safely
Working on wood since 15 years, but no idea of your job there... absolutely great video....
Too short, thanks Reg stay safe cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 europe
Awesome man!! Thank you for your knowledge, I have been climbing close to 6 years. You’re an animal!! I love it!!
You're such a calm guy reg, I wish I could be as calm in the tree
I used to work as a utility forester for asplundh tree, on a puget sound energy contract brings back memories of my early life. It always amazed me to see the climb crew and people like yourself do what you do each day.
hey man, just found ur channel and as a 16 year old wanting to become a tree surgeon its really cool shit. keep up the good work!
Isn't that such a contradiction people are so worried about the trees that they will tell you that they wish you would fall out of the tree or wish you were dead. I respect that you say what's on your mind and you tell people how you feel about what they say keep doing what you're doing like seeing your videos learn from you have a lot of respect for you.
To hell with the haters, you shouldn't have to explain anything, awesome stuff friend, you are a master craftsmen that takes pride at you job,
Mr reg you are just absolutely brilliant
Loved the intro reg had me howling with laughter ! Love your delivery mate 👍🤣🤣
Your a master Reg. love your work. It is impressive that where you live they inspect trees along the highway for hazards. Here in Montana it seems that we just wait till they fall across the highway before someone says I guess we should have done some preventative work guys.
Giving the weather conditions this a very good camera work . I really liked the log that pegged in the road . You are a badass keep safe , and thanks for the virtual adventure
Remarkable. Thanks for sharing Reg. Cheers.
Well that made my 20 metre birch rigged down over a fence today in the snow, look like something a 5 year old could do with it´s eyes closed. Inspiring and frightening at the same time. There´s really only one of you in this world. Great stuff!
Seems kind of a shame that some of the better logs couldn't be used, but excellent job staying safe.
You must be in incredible physical shape! As someone who loves to climb what you are doing is Superman stuff!
Great to see you are still putting out videos. Keep them coming. Thanks
Been watching you for years, always leave me amazed. You’re the best climber in the world hands down
You are without a doubt one of the best in the world mate thanks for sharing Reggie
Like always you do a great job! Best of wishes to you this year.
Stuff of dreams! Thank you for sharing Reg, good as ever. In my humble opinion, you are at the absolute top of the line of work. ('though you'll probably disagree:) ) Keep 'em coming! Love from the Netherlands.
When those logs fell...my god, the absolute WHALLOP they pack when they hit the ground, I'm shocked that the road remained undamaged. Absolutely amazing work, Reg!
“Spare me the virtue signaling,” amen brother. It’s quite amazing how many morally superior keyboard warriors reside in the virtual sphere.
