    I sure wish videos like this would've existed when I started climbing 30 years ago, it would have been a lot easier to learn rigging and dismantling skills.
    We had so much pressure on us to make an hourly rate, and it's really important to see a seasoned pro do things in a measured and careful manner for the new guys, it really must be helpful to see that patience is the key to getting difficult stuff on the ground safely.
    Some of the absolute cowboy stuff I did in my younger days trying to make an hourly rate, this would have been so helpful to see, to force me to slow down and really think every cut through.
    You're doing important work, and I don't doubt for a second at least a few lives will be saved by observing your measured and patient methods. It's a delight to watch.
    Stay safe up there

    Hey Reg, I’ve been following your work and career since I started tree work. I’m originally from Bristol UK. I’m now living in Australia, and have been here for over 7 years. I’ve been running my own show here for 2 years now, supporting my young family. Things can be tough sometimes, the stresses of staff and looking after everyone. But I find real solace and inspiration in your videos, they always level me back out and make me proud of the hard work and passion I’ve put into what I do over all these years. Just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for the industry and for other climbers like me in similar situation. You’re a constant inspiration to keep going and being the best you can be. Hope everything is going well for you and your family out there. Thanks once again mate. J

But as it turned out just barely touched the roof. Great JOB!

      @paulbragg7618 that's the Mk 2 540. It's reliable when hot and cutting repetitively. The Mk3 I just sent back to the shop because it was running shite and never improved. Which leaves the 200t, the 540 battery, and the ported stihl 150. Which all give me the instant throttle response and power that you need when cutting limbs that are already being pulled by gravity. The latter part is what saw manufacturers don't seem to prioritize the importance of.

      @paulbragg7618 the Madrone is very heavy and extremely slippery, even when dry.

      @@Recoates yeah I'm still on the 200t. I often think about the leccy top handles, how many battery charges did you go through on that job?
