I hope you know the entire arborist community views you as an absolute master of the craft. I’ve spoken to many friends about your videos and every single one responds with the utmost admiration and respect. Im sure it’s a lot of work for you to make these videos but it’s totally worth it from the viewers standpoint. Your videos bring a lot of joy and talk about a priceless education, speaking for all of us out here we really appreciate it man! Your content is the best there is! Be safe man! Happy Holidays from NorCal!
I`m sure making these video`s are a pain for you when there is bad weather, or maybe Stress in the job, but for myself and all those who follow you, thank you for doing it, it`s a real pleasure watching how you work and seeing a level headed arborist doing his job the right way. I hope some of the younger people take notice and learn from your experences. Beste of luck in the New Year, Merry Christmas for you and your family.
You're correct Reg people don't pay attention at all anymore so they ask repetitive questions. Also people ask me all the time about my "competitors", and the truth is I have none. I have colleagues and many times throughout the season we collaborate on larger jobs together. People can't seem to grasp that concept. There's more than enough work for us all. Happy holidays to you and your family!
Reg , even though you don’t care to video much, I love to watch your videos and it’s very interesting to see how you go about it,thank you so very much for sharing your experience, watching from Wisconsin
If this is any motivation for more content, I always watch you videos from start to finish and never fast forward. Usually rewinding. I listen carefully to everything you say and soak it all in. You can't stop now your too inspiring and humble and mysterious in a way. We don't have 160ft trees in Wisconsin. So I might truly never feel what you feel, but I am a tree climber and skilled arborist and boy do I understand the challenges. The storms and winds have been rough this year. I'm sure you understand but I always speak and sometimes sing to the trees while I climb. I'm 29 and I've only been climbing for maybe 3 years now. But yesterday I removed a white oak 8 feet from a home and climbed 70ft to the top of oak to snap cut broken limb. I always look towards your channel for inspiration. Thank you reg from the bottom of my heart.
Ill tell you something Mike. This video carries on from where the last one finished. But in the last one I actually dropped the grapple hook just before I topped the tree, before the traverse...and when I reached behind my saddle to use it, it obviously wasn't there. I asked the groundworker, cody, to find and tie it back on my climbline. He radioed back to say he couldn't reach the end of the climbline by about 10 feet....and thats a 200ft line. So I had to spur down a little way, moving my tie off with me until he could reach. If you add the top off the tree that I cut off earlier that puts it close to 230ft. But the odd part is that its very difficult to gauge height from up there until you actually catch sight of someone down below. Or if you get a gust of wind and it starts to sway really slow but extended. I realise the majority of climbers might not ever get the opportunities to work in tree's of this scale, so I hope at least being able to watch them here is some sort of consolation or better than nothing at all.
I know what you mean in a sense that it is difficult to guage hieght without someone or something on the ground you can see. And I bet not having your traverse hook was an experience being up that high. I am truly humbled by the trees, I learn for them and from them and Intend to care for trees as long as I can. I Intend to go out west some day and experience and ancient old growth forest. Thank you for reaching out to my comment, it truly means a lot. I feel honored to be one of many arborist caring for trees. Please keep the content coming. It does so much for people like me. God bless reg and as always climb safe
@@ashleywatt9866 I cant speak of your calculations Ashley, but if you read my what I said to the other lad, thats the truth of the matter. Incidentally, the tallest tree on the island is actually Sitka spruce of around 95-97 meters. Its called the Carmanah giant. You will find photos photos, videos and info of it on the web. The average height of the trees within the forest in this video is probably around the 200 -220 ft mark. Its called Cathedral grove, also lots of info about the area.
Looks like the Husqvarna 550XP Mark II and 572XP combo. Great saws. Thanks for these amazing videos Reg! You have no fear for sure when it comes to heights.
I, as a cutter myself appreciate the meticulousness of your skill. It shows your professionalism and your respect of the job at hand.. Thank you. Merry Christmas
It's great to see someone do everything with content and true understanding of the outcome and consequences. "Put everything into your favor, even if it seem redundant." - Reg
As always thanks for the inspiration Reg. You see it as a straight forward days work. Us regular Arb climbers see it as inspiration. Cheers dude and have a great Christmas 🎄
Reg, you have to be one of the most grounded and humble arborist I’ve ever had the privilege of watching. Always keeping a cool head and seeing the job through. Thanks again for sharing your time with us.
These in the parks I enjoy the most. Probably because I know I could never do it myself, serious was the right descriptor. Also enjoy hearing your forest management criteria, it's a bit different than here in old Virginia. We tend to have much more hardwoods in our forests like Ash, Oaks, Hickories maples and locusts. These trees grow out more than up so they don't get as tall and almost never grow straight. On the farm I work for we try to leave as much standing deadwood in the forest as possible but often it presents a danger to neighboring healthy trees simply because so many of our larger hardwoods lean. Also our forests tend to get very dry at various times of the year, and the hardwoods like ash, oak, locust and hickory tend to get very dry creating fire hazard and some of the best and hottest burning fuels for our forest fires which occur frequently here in late summer. So a lot of my time when working in our forests on the farm is spent taking down dead trees that are usually leaning hard or somehow threatening nearby healthy trees. But I do leave them standing as wildlife habitats whenever possible. Anyway thanks for the early Christmas present these were great, and merry Christmas!
I’m an arborist from New York, and I was cutting a sycamore for an older lady today, she mentioned to me that she watches your videos all the time and is fascinated by you. Simply letting you know that an old lady adores you 😂
Always a pleasure to watch Reg. Merry Christmas and a happy new year from Norfolk, all the best. Look forward to more great stuff in the new year 👍🏼 ☃️🎅🏼
Thank you Reg, an amazing pair of videos I just watched, the camera work from one tree to the other at that height is outstanding. Hope you had a nice Christmas, and you will be back with us soon.
Thanks for your videos Reg. Your knowledge and skill set are amazing to watch. Appreciate the time you take to make the videos and share with the greater Arboriculture community via CZcams. Cheers from Aus 🇦🇺
merry Christmas Reg always a pleasure to watch both yourself and August at work. And thank you for the advice you gave me on SRT. It has kept me in the trees for a few more years hopefully
Always instructive and a pleasure to watch your videos Reg. Thanks very much for doing them. I have Go Pro cameras and have elected to pay the $5 per month to for unlimited uploading and no reason damage and loss insurance. I don't make many videos as my work is neither exciting nor instructive but I do have my Max 8 covered. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
What do guys like you get paid? This is no ordinary tree work. Not only are you at serious heights, but you’re only using a buck strap, no tie in/life line. I do power line clearance tree work. This looks awesome and much respect to you guys!
Happy Holidays Reg...thanks for all you do to bring us along...stay safe & see you in the New Year! Such a shame about those cameras...perhaps a hiker will find them & somehow they will find their way back home to you?
Hiya Reg, awesome videos.. It's exactly the sort of job I'd love to do... Big, tall and just brilliant views! I'm a tree surgeon in England.. But I love the style and the approach you take.. I have a captain throwing hook which might just about do what your grappling hook does... (Ish) Anyway.. Thanks for your hard work.. Cheers
Thanks for your vids and all the best for you and your family from Fabian - the german guy who could not make it for a beer these last two years due to corona. Good thing is : my son will be in Canada for 6 months now student exchange 10th grade - he will check out your canadian ceders for me :-). Enjoy your family and time off !! Thanks again, Fabian
What makes Reg great is how he picks and chooses which scenarios to film and make a video about. He isn't hellbent on making people live vicariously through him while cramming seemingly two minutes of content into 30 minutes of attention seeking.
Man u got a drone !!! Reg did my first bit of spiking work over Christmas. I had 2 strops around it, a top rope, extra sharp spikes, if i had Gorilla glue i wuda used it. I wasn't falling out of that tree for anythin. It was about 24ft up bro, which for me is huge. I got a lil echo battery saw too.
I feel your pain brother. I lost my session & the second one just stopped taking charge. Those little cameras are much nicer to deal with. Good video Stay safe Have a happy New Year
Hi Reg- just wanted to check in I know you are probably super busy. It's a bit surprising with how high the cost of living is right now that there is still an abundance of landscape and tree work for us. Anyway mate I hope all is well.
I hope you know the entire arborist community views you as an absolute master of the craft. I’ve spoken to many friends about your videos and every single one responds with the utmost admiration and respect.

Reg is King! Always chill and double checks. Great throttle control and comms on the ground! Cheers
Hats off to you Reg you know your Onions, you are a pleasure to watch from across the Pond.

I loved this bro. It was real and visceral. No glam…no nonsense. Thank you
