It's always a pleasure to watch and learn from this man , he explains why and how. So why in the world would anyone get on here and run their mouths, and question what he does ? He does things in a tree 100' plus that most people wouldn't even do on the ground . I appreciate you take the time to show us your work , so others can learn .
Think you're selling yourself short by stating that it's something and better than nothing to watch. It's a good quality video, period. And thanks for uploading it. I really love the talk up front about what's going on and then sort of go into the job with you. The tree was pretty sketchy, that's for sure. Good job, stay safe.
You're a great arborist ! Your rope's systems are so smart, and your quietness and accuracy are exemplary. thank you to share your experience ! Big respect from french trees
This guy is so humble. Nothing but repect to Reg for his skills in his trade and his being a good example of what we all should strive towards, an honorable decent person
That scenery is awesome , Depressing in winter !! think again my friend , I'm a roofing joiner in the North East of England , go to work in the dark , come home in the dark , my panorama is usually just concrete council estates or repetitive building sites , If i had your environment to graft in id be there double early with bells on ! I know the grass is always greener etc.. but think about where you could be . Just saying .. Stay safe ,looking forward to more vids , ta
I never said I was depressed in winter. I made reference to people work inside but still complain about the weather. Scheduling dangerous trees around unpredictable weather adds an extra element of pressure and anxiety i.e. we might be able work, or we might have to abandon and go home with nothing. And not so easy to walk away and have to pay wages regardless. Wind being our worst adversary. Lot of guessing and hoping
I would imagine you get the monopoly on those kind of jobs because no one else has the balls or the mindset to tackle them cheers from an old UK plasterer luv your stuff
Hi reg I appreciate the level of standards you give us always growing and learning climbers even the ones who have been in the industry for some time you seem to challenge our minds and way of thinking regularly through you vlogs,videos,and still tutorial photos
I'm glad to hear your new helper is working out. My experience doing manual/technical work with women is similar to what you describe, they don't assume they know everything, and they seem less reluctant to admit when they don't know something. Not nearly as hard on equipment, either, but that might be something that young men just take longer to grow out of.
Always enjoy your videos, Reg. I've been cutting and climbing for 42 years in Washington state and I completely empathize with you. Also, very nice that you are not full of yourself and always running your mouth. Humility is important. No place for ego in tree work. Stay safe and best wishes.
This is the second video of yours I've watched and it's fine. Don't keep putting yourself down, for us this is a view into a different world we won't experience. Keep it up, no complaints here.
Head Cam is always great and Thank You For every video you post! Absolutely Love the techniques and control in every compromised situation! Thank You !!!
First time seeing this video, always amazed and inspired by your patience and deliberate techniques. I have some alders to remove this has given me new prospective. Thank you again.
I know nothing and don’t have a job relating to this at all, but absolutely love watching. Really calm methodical work. Find it really therapeutic to watch. Can’t wait to watch more!
Hello Kind Sir, Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences while removing that dead alder. 👍🏼 I live in SE Alaska and we have some giant alders up here! Some of which I have been charged to remove. What always gets me is when the bole cracks in the center, sometimes immediately after making the cut. Tree fiber is amazing! Haven’t, thankfully, ever had one barber chair but I can see the potential. You take great care in your practice; very deliberate and conscious! I appreciate your videos and the patience you have for the craft. Amber is very lucky to work with you!! Enjoy the season; dark and dreary as it is in the PNW, getting out in it sure beats watching the day go by behind a pane of glass.. Cheers
Great to see another video Reg, thank you. That little electric husky really holds its own, I’ve seen you use it a lot and it seems a useful and quiet addition.
Love the videos.. As a previous comment said.. YOU NEED TO WRITE A BOOK REG.. I could watch this all day.. balls of steel with such precise & accurate work.. as they say watch the master work 👍
Nicely done Reg. Looks like Amber did a good job on the ground/ropes. I appreciate you posting up your work, even if it is only with the helmet camera. There is always something to learn. Solid, experienced climbers like yourself use gear and techniques in a way that "less experienced" climbers like myself would likely never see. Taking the time to post it up is a great help, thank you. Keep yourself safe! 😎👍❤️🌲 Randy
A plug in mic for the phone would make audio clearer in the car from the engine noise. This can be removed in an editor easily but is still an extra step that is unnecessary with just a little mic. Some people use a lapel mic on the shirt for clarity. Thanks for the ride.
I'm switching over to SRT after 5 years of climbing. I Love the redirect in the top of the alder! I poopt a little when i thought you were tied in at first. Killer content, it's helping me a lot in the off season, keep it coming. Thank you
I'll watch your "bad edits" any time. Well done. Thanks for taking time to share. I appreciate it. Stay safe, and keep up the spirits during the bad weather.
Once again nice job Reg. I'm not going to be so pretentious as to even suggest to you how you should be doing your work. It's obvious you know what you're doing. I got a real sense that you were treating that tree like it was made of glass because that small diameter and that tall of a dead tree might as well have been made out of glass. Thanks for taking care of yourself. Thanks for the video. Hope to see you again soon.
was kinda tedious, but definitely deserved all your patience, spongy and brittle all at the same time, Good Job Reg, I have tow trees tomorrow, one over a house and one leaning at the house, not a big deal really. fairly small and short, but it will start out in the morning about 0 to 10 degrees f, so that will slow it down some, take care and be well Reg :{)
Reg, watching you traverse over and working on this tree reminded me of your comment on another traverse video..... that you had practiced disconnecting your lanyard over and over and over like Clint Eastwood had done with his draw (Outlaw Josie Wales?, Pale Rider?)... i.e. in order that you could unhook your lanyard instantaneously/flawlessly in case of an emergency. Thanks for the video and your helpful spirit of sharing your knowledge!
I’m new to climbing and it’s really inspiring to see someone so experienced work with such a high level intelligence, safety and best work practices in mind. All too often I’m already seeing people favouring speed, and by consequence dangerous practices instead. Keep up the videos, you’ve got a new subscriber here!
Okay now I'm going to continue watching the video because this is how I appreciate my life watching this man at his craft to watch how I can make my craft a little bit better but when having the security on the device that holds me on the net line there's no more worries
Very good work and video Reg👌, I liked about 14:10 into the vid when a bit falls off a branch being lowered and your head snaps round quick to look, it's that sound that makes you think somethings gone wrong for about a millisecond and then the relief when alls good 😁. I reckon word of mouth unfortunately means you're not gonna get a hedge or anything easier than "dead, dangerous or massive" to fall back on in bad weather, but at least the dryer days aren't far off.
Thanks Reg for the special attention to alders, the dead ones are about the most dangerous trees here in coastal BC, have killed lots of fallers when pieces break out unexpectedly. Nice to see your approach as always.
Always inspiring Reg! Very timely as I'll be using the RCW-3001 tomorrow! Thanks for all you've given to the industry Brother! May you and your family be Blessed and Prosperous this season!
13 minutes in we all noticed that he's on a very dead piece is tying point is into a secure structure on the left side of his working area! But I think it takes a crazy amount of mental and physical stability while climbing into these scenarios on Deadwood areas
Your reputation precedes you. Other tree service crews snatch up the easy stuff, and recommend you to the owner for the tough jobs. Such is life. Cheers.
I live in central Oregon but my brother is off the northwest side of the state and the alder trees he has are also slimy compared to what I have to climb, it’s a whole different ball game to climb..hats off to your skills:)
I'm not big on working in the winter. We have cold, icy winters in the northeast. Makes a dangerous job more dangerous. Makes more work for the same money. Last 3 years I have taken December to February off. These have also been the best years for my business.
I know shouldn't , probably get crap for this but couldn't help myself (some nights I can't sleep...) so, here ya go. My Ode to Reg Coates, I called it, "If I could climb like Reg." --- If I could climb like Reg my life would be so very fine. High up in the fir trees with a grappling hook and line. I'd work the finest forests and I'd climb the tallest trees and I'd bask in scenic splendor from my spurred and saddled ease. ---
Chalk and cheese between u and BBR but just love u both. Something peaceful/ reassuring/stoic/calming about you. Just keep on doing what u are doing. 🇦🇺👍
fantastic to see a local boy in Columbia tree felling,,which i love but dont do enough of,,stay safe, really appreciate the footage,,, beautiful place on the planet 😁👍
One of my favorites so far! Couple questions from a hobbyist: Are you going to try out the notch fusion tether? What was the hitch you tied on your redirect at the top of the Alder and why do you tie it? Love the channel, thank you for the content!
Thanks for the reminder on rigging I’ve made the mistake of getting a little to impatient and getting yanked a bit, nothing serious but a great reminder to take care when rigging..
Hi Reg, I found this video very interesting, from the rigging point of view, of which I think you are a master. Maybe, when you have the time to spare, you might go into it in more depth. I for one , would hope so. Keep up the good work.......Bernie West Wales.
I love the video 4 minutes and 30 seconds into this video I realized you are the man that I've always admired because of your subtle natured way of how you carry yourself! Knowing our world is going in a thousand different directions I will always stand by my device as far as it being the strongest mechanical device ever built in the world for our industry and that is our cultural!... Thank you for getting back to me on the email and I would just love to tell you and the rest of the world that if anybody would ever like to do anything that Reg Coates does at height and take the security into your mechanical device... I have it for you... #zrunnerselfrescuesystem #zrunner #zrunnersrs #zrunnerpws
6:35 comes with education insecurity in your brain absolutely love that especially at the height of the 10-foot drop nothing to worry about when you have the education to be able to perform the task much love and respect brother I will stop talking now I'm sorry
Just curious to what kind of dollar a tree of that size would go for, I'm assuming its a competitive market. In Ottawa emerald ash bore brought in a ton of fly by nights, people stuffing brush in the back of their vans and stuff, surprisingly we can still get a good dollar on our trees. Happy cutting
Hi Reg, you advised a book in one of your videos regarding tree species/disease but I can’t seem to find it. Could you please let me know what it was? Thanks mate.
It's always a pleasure to watch and learn from this man , he explains why and how. So why in the world would anyone get on here and run their mouths, and question what he does ?

absolutely better than Netflix on a Sunday morning 👍thanks Reg

Less edits the better!! Its great watching you setup, talk, struggle and master your work. I catch a lot of great tips from you thanks so much!!

Background music sounds like Justin Johnson - very cool whomever. Thanks again for taking the time to video and share.

Hello Kind Sir,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences while removing that dead alder. 👍🏼
I live in SE Alaska and we have some giant alders up here! Some of which I have been charged to remove.
What always gets me is when the bole cracks in the center, sometimes immediately after making the cut. Tree fiber is amazing!
Haven’t, thankfully, ever had one barber chair but I can see the potential.
You take great care in your practice; very deliberate and conscious! I appreciate your videos and the patience you have for the craft. Amber is very lucky to work with you!!
Enjoy the season; dark and dreary as it is in the PNW, getting out in it sure beats watching the day go by behind a pane of glass..
Cheers
Would love to reside in Alaska, Shane. You are are very fortunate
thank you, Reg, love the cab talk!
I enjoyed, no apology for quality needed Reg, Like the scan of the rocks along the river too! thank you.
Great to see another video Reg, thank you. That little electric husky really holds its own, I’ve seen you use it a lot and it seems a useful and quiet addition.
Love the videos.. As a previous comment said.. YOU NEED TO WRITE A BOOK REG..

"DELIBERATE" ... I think I might write that on my chainsaws where I can see it.
I am really interested in the hard to rig trees. Thank you for taking the time to record for us.
Very good work and video Reg👌, I liked about 14:10 into the vid when a bit falls off a branch being lowered and your head snaps round quick to look, it's that sound that makes you think somethings gone wrong for about a millisecond and then the relief when alls good 😁.
I reckon word of mouth unfortunately means you're not gonna get a hedge or anything easier than "dead, dangerous or massive" to fall back on in bad weather, but at least the dryer days aren't far off.
And all without busting a single fern frond. Nice work Reg
Always a nice surprise when an upload pops up, I cant put my finger on it, but I always feel happier and slightly serene after watching these vids.
Enjoy Watching You Work. Thanks For Sharing. Looking Forward To The Next Video. Prays For Your Safety As You Practice Your Craft 👍

So nice you folks dodged the wind & rain, thanks for this video on those fragile breaking sketchy alders...
Thanks for the video Reg, I always find the rigging and climbing/traversing very interesting. 👍🍻
So good job and so beautiful nature ! Thanks for video !
Super smooth climbing. Excellent video 🙏

In a class ? Im surprised they are still open for groups
@@Recoates No, just us two at home. Wisconsin has an epic covid outbreak currently.
Excellent video. I have an alder in similar condition. Now I know someone should climb it like you did.

Get nice Italian Alders round Oxfordshire. Be Spring before you know it Reg. Take each day
12:45 how to deal with a hung up piece in poetic fashion
you throw the line to the ground connected to the branch. How do you get it back up again - I'm sure you don't climb down & up each time
Same here in Michigan always a monster dead removal.
Great to watch a master of his trade at work 👍
Просто, напросто, наижирнейший лайк, Спасибо, тебе, умелец.
Nice job. I've heard that it's hard to tell core integrity on Alders. I've heard it can change dramatically in a matter of a few feet
Very true
6:35 comes with education insecurity in your brain absolutely love that especially at the height of the 10-foot drop nothing to worry about when you have the education to be able to perform the task much love and respect brother I will stop talking now I'm sorry

Id expect bids between $1400 - $2000. Because it was dead and leaning over the river. That cost would include chipping and bucking
