Another thanks from me, im starting tree work as a hobbie thing on my property in australia and im super glad i found your page i feel much safer and have gained alot of knowledge.
Had an ahah moment yesterday on this topic, about having the ability to reset my zipline point with a redirect. Unfortunately, this was after i had the top slip out of the crotch and free fall 😢. Luckily, it was at our shop and i jumped on the opportunity to try a new technique. Wish i had seen this a couple of days ago 😂😂😂 Thanks Reg, your knowledge is truly valued.
Great work. Your side comment about redirected zip lines sharing the load is so crucial for beginners in zip-lining to digest. Especially in crowns with thinner branch structure. The redirect decreases the load in the original tie in point and permits you to send larger loads - or any load more safely- great to share ideas and experience via the content you create. All the best...
Erlend Greulich Frontier Big Wood Climber true, but it still depends on the rope angles and vectors, that dictates the forces your applying. Definitely easy for beginners to compound the forces that’s their working with instead of spreading the load in an appropriate manor. Alllll situational
Reg Great video and yes you are right about making up a batch of zip line specific carabiners. I have a group of 25 zip line slings with carabiners that are made up from bulk nylon tubular webbing and have different colors so some of the longer ones are one color, medium ones are of a different color and short ones a third color. I find that having 25 is very useful in doing larger firs and redwoods since using up the entire 25 about 3 times usually gets you right up to the top of a good sized tree. The weight is not bad and it is nice to be able to just keep on going a full 25 limbs before having to bring the bunch back up. I have a separate shorter loop with it's own clip that all the zip line rigging slings clip onto and I instruct my groundsman to make sure that he puts all the clips on facing the same way that way when they are pulled back up to me it is smooth going doing the next 25 limbs.
For all you newer climbers who want to reach their potential should really study this guy’s work and learn how easy a true professional at the top of his craft makes an extremely taxing job seem. Reg is a wealth of knowledge in the arboriculture industry!
Comment on older Video's - I have watched them all and this is were my Journey with Mr Coates began a few years back, through a common place name in the title of one of the video's which was my home town ! it was great to see the Camera's first used before CZcams ! and now how Reg has embraced the Gopro style Cameras and now even drones . I feel so lucky that I tapped into this resource and wealth of knowledge . This catalog of Video's have provided in Hindsight I'm sure Reg had no idea were it would end up , but it's worth every hour he's spent on it. if you have the time they are worth your time too watch .
First classroom theory... then putting it to practice in the field... Great bit of instruction, Reg! This definitely bears watching again... also need to go back and (re) watch the older videos. Thanks for putting together this instruction and thanks for taking the trouble to set those cameras so the tree-work is shown in the 3rd person!
Yes, the tabletop demo is wonderfully useful...it really makes the rest of the video more meaningful. So thankful that you take the time to share your knowledge and skills and produce videos of this quality. It's definitely one of my favorites.
Hello Reg, I agree about having a dedicated Zip-Speed line kit ready to go and your comments about Augusts' MB SL kit as a time saver. I see some sewn prusik loops added to his kit for expanding its utility in rigging beyond SL, I am refering to your recent video "Multi Sling Rigging Explained" which is awesome. Anyway it would be keen. Also, I want to congratulate you for over a decade of Tree-Man Prowess here on the tube. I use both yours' and August's products , you guys inspire excellence on a routine basis.
I tried his multi sling prusik technique after i sa that video it worked great! watch your rope paths i have one on the wrong side of a branch had to go get it and cut it free... hand made prusic cords are expendable lol
Another great video with so much information packed into one video I think you should write a book brother you really have some good knowledge and it's coming from a seasoned climber
Ha ha ha, I had to laugh at the upside down tripod for a tree. Crappy tripod, but it makes a nice abstract bonsai tree. These videos are excellent, Reg. They offer insight to a topic I never spent much time considering.
Good to see zip line in theory and practical. Thank you. I love working that way and seeing things easier on the ground. I'm the same way where I am scrambling to find bits when i want to do a zip line job.... August's kit would be a prime investment. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great safe work you do. Cheers to that!
Great explanations, I agree that zip lining uses a lot of the same concepts as SRT. Finding a good high tie in, redirect as you move throughout the tree, using good line angles and understanding the different forces created as you use these redirects and change angles. I haven’t utilized this enough but plan to in the future, once again thanks Reg I value your time and knowledge. Looking forward to the next video!
I liked the spur video and I like this one this is something I never really thought of. You get into conventional rigging on these tree's you never think outside the box. You are good at thinking outside the box. Thanks!!!
Dear Reg since subscribing I've enjoyed the videos that I've watched so far the big trees especially , I thoroughly enjoy your monologues and the replies to decenters in your comments section .
Thank you Reg, this was a nice response to the comments regarding zip lining in broad trees. I was curious to see what would come of the recent video. Nice explanation, and as always calm and to the point. My favorite is still the breakdown of the deep notch, I still have a "duh" moment every time I apply this technique. Keep up the good work. BTW, love the toys on the fireplace....
Thanks mate it was a really skimpily, and calm video. It really helped a lot. Saving time by working more effective is great and this video shows just that. It’s not always about speed. Very fluid movements and focus.
Really is effective in wide spread trees! I use it allot when pruning to avoid any damage to the rest of the canopy. (For crown reductions, deadwooding, ect) Really a great video! STAY SAFE
Brian Kennedy Competent arbs don’t usually prune using spurs. If they do, it’s usually one large leader and they put them on and take them off in the tree so as to not cause damage elsewhere on the tree.
@@gschgvt2956 you can explain things to brian, but he isnt looking to learn anything. He just hates me because I wont let him be a cyber bully😉 He literally stalks me & looks for me to leave comments, so he can make CRAZY lies up & hope people believe him.

STIHL BORN Ah, I just mistook the comment for the general ignorance that is prevalent on CZcams. That is some BS. You don’t bring peoples families into your arguments.
Awesome.. always enjoy your explanations.. taking simple components and concepts most arborists already know, and making complex thought out systems.. thank you good sir
Another great vid Sir 👍 I’d quite like to see one about moving around the canopy srt!? On this vid you were coming back down from setting a sling up a long angled skinny limb, I had one the same the other day but was finding it a tad tricky taking in slack when moving up, where it would have been easy taking my weight drt. All in all though it was a large ish sycamore with lots of up and down and my arms and shoulders didn’t ache at the end 😀
Good Teaching, I hopr you didn't get to cold out in the "snowy landscape" glad it warmed up for the next removal, it did seem like maybe a lot if extra work in the tree, but as you were getting close to the end, you could see the HUGE benefit of having the mess all in one spot, Thanks Again Reg! I just put up another vid on a pine job, maybe you would check it out, turns out we sold the logs to a small mill that wants the Bluestain and so we have I think for more bug kills to get out there, we were going to cut them for wood, but the log prices are better! God Bless and be well :{)
If you read this August then maybe you should send Reg a free monkey beaver speed line kit to free him some time up in the mornings.😬🌲 Great video Reg, all the basic principles explained in a simple way.👊
As usual, great video (going to need a couple more watches to be sure I'm understanding all the moves here fully but it's so fully explained I know once or twice more watches will be fine!), am *very* saddened and upset to hear that youtube is blocking your older videos and even going so far as to make their existence unknown to people approaching your channel via phones (which is an ever-increasing #, I couldn't imagine trying to watch instructionals like yours from a phone but some may just use their phone for most or all of their browsing so it's really unfortunate to hear youtube's decision to hide the majority of your videos), good on you for mentioning it (am surprised you didn't mention this censorship at all during your TV-or-CZcams video, it's an unfortunate thing to hear but worth knowing - but most who are watching your videos are likely to watch more than 1 I'd have to imagine!
A dedicated zipline kit makes perfect sense, going back to economy of man power there are its rumoured some local authority arb units in north west uk where the notion of a zipline or redirect is boardering on witchcraft, much better to just throw 3 or 4 extra men on the deck running around like maniacs, fortunately to balance it out some council post lunch lunch breaks are only interupted by the need to go home to family , i guess its "slings" and roundabouts. Its a different ball game really, thats why i enjoy Regs vids, getting to see the bigger picture. Not that im bitter or anything, i mean i like working in burger king, its a real change of scenery, sometimes i might look out through the drive through window and spot a chappy up a tree, and reminisce, "that used to be me up there, what a c#*!..., sorry madam, which soft drink did you order"
Nice video! I appreciate the explanations along with the action. I like to have a block at the top for the low bottom branches to be lowered straight down then start choking the running end off wherever I am at for speed lining as I get higher up the canopy if it makes sense, otherwise an a maple like that I prefer traditional rigging as they are super light to drag but a pain in the ass to rotate on the ground. In every situation my goal is to have the butt end of the brush facing the chipper. I am also a big fan of doing the rail slide, where you don't need slings and just hook the branch down the line on it's way down using it's own crotches. This is especially handy with smaller brush.
No worries mate. Thanks for your insight. In this instance, asking a single groundworker to lower, maneuver and drag all the brush to the chipper, then process it, would've been too slow on the whole. As it was, we were done and gone in a few hours. Only a handful of brush landed facing the wrong way. No raking nor filling tarps with shatter. Logs all cut to size.
Reg Coates it seems there are few better ways to become an efficient, effective production climber than to create a plan to make one ground worker as productive as three.
That makes sense, plus speed lining is always fun. I just like having options if I am going to set up a rigging point. www.wesspur.com/items/rig146.html Looks like a new Rig N Wrench out that would be ideal for a 2 man operation.
Another great video, as always, Reg. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to do this. Your camera tripod mock up worked really well to get your points across. I appreciate your explanations of the rigging redirects. Stay well. Also, I was wondering if you've been pumping iron, lately. Your guns are looking pretty big.
Shit yer if you got taller tree in line, i brought a portable winch just to do this. Like set tight line then pull everything up with winch reverse flyin fox.
Thanks for another great video Reg! I have seen you use that blaze climb line for quite a few years worth of videos now. How do you like it? That was the first climb line I ever owned👍
Justin Marble I was a bit curious about whether you had multiple lines or not to be honest😉 I always thought it was a bit stretchy for srt, but I’m heavier than most climbers I suppose. On another note, this video makes me want to give the husky battery saws another look👍
Thanks Reg. Whats up with the duct tape on the top of your helmet? Is it to keep the go pro mount from getting snagged by twigs and stuff at the edge? I have one on my helmet and it sometimes gets stuck in stringy/twiggy stuff like the skinny dangling willow branch ends. Just wondering if that's what the duct tape.
@@Recoates I use single action biners for any speedlining when the consequences of losing a load are minimal..as in small limbs, or no structures or high value shrubbery underneath. I don't recall ever having a biner gate open. I have had a couple slings burn through, in situations where the load caused the sling to ride on the zipline, perhaps through careless setup.
Come on Reg. This is a speedline. The difference of course is that a zip line gives horizontal traverse. Yes there is an advantage to high rigging points if one wants the piece to move over an obstruction. Hate the new monologues.... maybe just show proper technique described in proper terms
What a silly post, Jonathan. A zipline is on an incline (look up the definition), otherwise the load would not travel if the line was horizontal. The word speedline is for cunts who like making special names up for tree work. Aside from that, if you look for the meaning of speeding on the net for example, it says fuck all in relation to tree work. A high rigging point is ONLY relative to the distance from the tree to the ground anchor. If the ground anchor is only a short distance away from the tree, the higher the rigging point the less support the line gives to steer and elevate limbs, not to mention increase the ground impact as the line angle steepens. A steep line angle gives the advantage of less loading on the anchors, but not much else.
I feel like I owe you some sort of payment for the amount of knowledge I've gained from your videos.
Very well said and explained. Lawrence Schultz sent over to watch you explaine this, and he was right, you are awesome. Thank you, Jim Tree

Come on Reg. This is a speedline. The difference of course is that a zip line gives horizontal traverse. Yes there is an advantage to high rigging points if one wants the piece to move over an obstruction. Hate the new monologues.... maybe just show proper technique described in proper terms
What a silly post, Jonathan. A zipline is on an incline (look up the definition), otherwise the load would not travel if the line was horizontal. The word speedline is for cunts who like making special names up for tree work. Aside from that, if you look for the meaning of speeding on the net for example, it says fuck all in relation to tree work. A high rigging point is ONLY relative to the distance from the tree to the ground anchor. If the ground anchor is only a short distance away from the tree, the higher the rigging point the less support the line gives to steer and elevate limbs, not to mention increase the ground impact as the line angle steepens. A steep line angle gives the advantage of less loading on the anchors, but not much else.
