Careful Tree Rigging

We remove a leaning fir tree.

[@mrmonsoon0001]

You really are the best there is when it comes to this line of work Reg. Cool, calm, collected and ultra professional 👍. Great video, thank you very much 😀

[@andyatkinson3574]

I love this guy, typical northerner , crazily successful yet somehow a bit dour and a bit down in the dumps! Greetings from Belfast where we are kinda similar.

[@whopper9037]

Morning Reg. I love your perfect execution of every job. Every detail taken into account. Great education in your explanation. And if I do say your mellowing in old age😂😂😉. But seriously bloody awesome. Be safe. 👊👊

[@johndurant8687]

Another enjoyable vid Reg! You're really good at getting the good camera angles. I can't imagine taking the time to set cameras up when I'm so focused on the tree work. You really must be a very patient and focused person. We really are fortunate to have someone like yourself taking the time to help the rest of us get better at what we do. I for one really appreciate it. And let me tell you how much the RCW 3001 has helped with these uprooted and tornado damaged trees that we're cleaning up here in the southeast these past few weeks. Thanks again mate!

[@Velcrostraps91]

2 guys and a chipper... You just can't top the efficiency. Tight work my man. 😎👍

[@Tsjoni]

Looking at the drawing, it’s a pretty quick job, only 8-9 branches per tree 👌😂

[@joshuatree7520]

Being that I am also in this industry, I love Reg and I enjoy his vids and commentary. Stay safe Reg ! -Josh

[@nickbailey109]

Man that looks like a Picasso hahah good work like always man. Crazy you’ve been on here this long. I just watched horse chestnut removal from 11 years ago I remember watching it when you first out it out. Thanks for all the years of quality work I’ve learned allot from you reg.

[@CEDARMULCH642]

You're good Reg! Excellent help also. Great team

[@lyndonwortley6329]

Hi Reg, I just want to record my appreciation for this video and the experience that you chose to share. Thank you for this insight into your craft.

[@andrehansena.h.trpleje4596]

Hey Reg thanks for sharing your beautiful video’s and great jobs 🙌🏻🤛🎶

[@brar090950]

I know you are not one to video all your work, but as one of those sessel poopser`s, to old and know nothing about tree work, one`s like me enjoy watching a cool headed, knowledgable profi, just doing his job at minimum exspense for your company. Stay safe and film as much as possible, you keep us entertained and it brings back memories from the good old day`s in the wood`s falling.

[@AugustHunicke]

Cool method because the lowering line has dual purpose as the tag line to pull and direct the dangle 🏆

[@nathanarievlis3985]

You think if you and Reg rolled up to a tree job together , the tree would just concede and fall on it's own?

Great video, Reg, and nice work....appreciate the pre-job explanation! Cheers!

Nice one for uploading Reg. Great that you took the time to explain the process. I take away little nuggets of info I use in every video

Hey Alex. Just wanted to say hi and ask how the baby is doing. Hope your fam is safe and well.

[@rosspatterson9397]

Prussic on the lowering line to turn into tag line. Fantastic idea thx Reg. Ur the man.

[@yetisteps8200]

This is the best sort of lockdown entertainment Reg. Many thanks from New Zealand

[@brianfloyd8033]

Thanks for explaining the job ahead of time. Ur rigging is amazing and im sure time consuming. Great video and thanks for sharing

[@NHlocal]

Well done Reg. And thank you for taking the time to record some video and post it up for us to watch. I really do appreciate it. Watching you make hard work look easy is an encouragement to me to learn more and be a better climber. Thanks again and keep yourself safe! Randy

[@samdelvestreeservices1523]

Awesome job, thoroughly planned out and beautifully executed. A true professional.

[@turbonutst5r]

Hey reg thanks for the concideration of others... I'm a self employed tree surgeon in the uk and also got a young daughter so I've decided not to go back to work until its calms down, so thanks for the videos mate. Be safe

[@treetopflyers8904]

That tuefeulberger rigging line is my go to. Excellent work as always Sir!

[@nathanarievlis3985]

I agree. That is solid safe cordage. Wears really well too.

Hey he's back! It means it's a good day when I can enjoy another video from this channel! Much love from Canada. ✌♥️

[@jameszackary87]

Thanks for another video Reg. Extremely grateful for the lessons over the years! You have definatly helped me become a better Arborist. Thanks again!

[@Bigmike3406E]

Just when I thought you couldn’t amaze me anymore Reg you went and done it again . That was clean efficient and quite amazing . Thanks for sharing.

[@dan-dan-da-treeman]

Thank you Reg. More tools for the tool box. I appreciate the work you put in the video. We have been going strong since the out break of crazy.

[@marco7355]

Congratulations on your victories at treestuff arborist choice video 👏👏👏

[@mattwood9981]

Thanks for sharing Reg, I see the idea of the friction hitch on the line now. The line doubles as a tag line or pull line for the groundie it seems.. Looked pretty smooth.

[@Recoates]

You can also add several hitches at once to capture more limbs all in one set too

[@eldoradowoodcrafthobbies3888]

Very impressive Reg your work positioning, climbing line and halyard are equipped is what I appreciate.

[@AA-sk2yi]

Thanks for making them u hit the nail on the head about being stuck with no work things are just starting to ease up a bit here in New Zealand cheers

[@e.lebrunet6311]

Awesome design and rigging system. These big logs went off so smoothly, great job to preserve the other tree 👍 I only own a Port a wrap which is ok for most of the work I do but the Stein is definitely a nice piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and healthy

[@daviddobedoe]

I think the winch on the RS3001 is a massively underrated piece of kit. The 3001 is proven and bomb proof. You add the winch when its needed. It works really well at a good price compared to expensive alternatives. Just saying :-)

[@aaron6806]

We probably were able to take almost, if not all, the stretch out of the rope, which means he doesn't have to wrestle it off the stem, and doesn't have to worry about where it will bounce. I've done it without the winch plenty, and it is a lot more..... exciting.

[@thelastdetail1]

That was a really good technique to take all of the possible shock loading and nasty suprises out of the roping. Great to watch!

[@br-dj2ti]

Great job buddy u definitely are one of the best. Love ur vids

[@rsmccary1]

Best reality re-run i have ever watched.

[@erlendgreulichfrontierbigw218]

Delicate work it seemed, loads of targets. Solid as always. Had a similar job where I span rigged between the 2 flanking trees to avoid swings and negative rigging. Glad to see u well. Thx for sharing.

Great content, one thing I've noticed in almost all of your vids.... Smile more, your a good looking guy!!

[@joshuaandjanellehazel5914]

Thanks for shearing awsome work we ramping back up now in nz was shutdown for awhile

[@dwaynemadsen964]

Loved the video. Thank you for continuing to share with the world. How did you retrieve the rigging sling? I'm guessing a retrievable friction saver of some sort. Also, where was the rigging line tied to itself to form the loop? As long as the knot doesn't have to pass a rigging ring I guess it wouldn't matter much, but I wonder if you have a preference, and why. Thank you in advance if you should have time to answer.

[@aaron6806]

The rigging line is about 300', both ends in hands of ground guy. No loop. He climbed his rope to retrieve x-ring sling and untie his climb line.

[@jimyarnall9833]

I truly appreciate your explanation of the job and your absolute mastery of your craft and your willingness to share. It is such a pleasure to watch. Be safe.

[@mattbrown429]

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to make these videos Reg stay safe mate thanks 🇦🇺

[@timothyspurlin9526]

Thanks Reg for the video. It seems like all of my jobs run longer than I expect them. I can always do them a lot faster in my head. I need to allow extra time for complications I guess. I am stuck at home. But it’s due to being down in the back. Not sure how long this will last but ,I hope it’s over soon. I appreciate the content while I am recuperating 👍🏻

Great job ! I just bought the rcw3001 and what a game changer compared to the portawrap. Built like a tank 👍

[@HiLineTree]

Great work as always. No shortcuts. Proper planning and execution. 👏

[@Gigharborbigfoot]

Me=just bomb all that shit down, fill the hole with saw dust, and get to the next job. Great job taking all that extra consideration! I am always a little envious that you can afford to do everything so meticulously, if I had to do everything over again I would go minimal. Your company structure seems more enjoyable than running a larger operation and dealing with the added stress of more employees and more customers.

[@chadspadeace420]

For you to take out the time and draw that up to explain it to us is very much appreciated at least by me it is always have enjoyed you taking your time to explain things thank you very much!!

Morning Reg , Great Pre Planning explanation of the Job site Sir . Your Video's have been most welcome at this time ! So thanks for them. I agree and I'm sure many others will too with your comments at the end of this video We would like that very much if you have the time . Can I ask when I'm sure I know the answer you were concerned about battery power , Do you have a spare charged when on site that could be sent up to you ? The Home owner must of been pleased with care taken of the remaining tree and the overall care of the whole project on his plot . It always takes longer when you care about what you do Reg .

I have several Phil, because i also carry a second battery saw and blower in the cab

Sweet Work, Man! When you rig limbs via the prussik(s) to the rigging line, is that so the ground team essentially has a tag line there?

Yes, and to rig multiple branches at once: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX-wlqZshN5rf7s
