Arborist Removes Oak Tree

[@sidneyturner3427]

just want to add my thanks for taking the time to video your work . There's enough going on just sitting up the rigging and making the cuts, so I am sure setting up the camera shots just adds time to an already tough job. Great to watch a pro at work. Thank you Reg, Always love your videos .

[@AugustHunicke]

Awesome vid, treework, camera work, smooth pro.

[@BUCKYWHEATS]

One of the greatest audio mixes for a tree video ever.

[@Bluecollar711]

Anytime I have to clear my mind it's KZbin and the great people here including this arborist right here with this mellow video this video always brings me back to the basics of being humble

[@TreeBoi4Life]

Great work Reg, it never ceases to amaze me how large homeowners will allow tees so close to everything that matters. Great for pricing and yet a headache to climb but you make it look too easy removing this large tree so close to the house. I get these type of trees 50% of the time. They test your skills.

[@Recoates]

Thanks. Hey hows the dog?

[@Bluecollar711]

The canopy videos are so awesome the mellow music behind it is absolutely the final touches to a great video

[@thexmanjdd]

I really liked this video. Not many tree removal or tree work videos these days that keep my attention where I watch the whole thing. This one is a winner. I don't have time for 20 minutes of talk and life on a video. Good smooth rigging shown here and fast pace. Really liked it. It was fun seeing old XRR slings still being used that you got long ago, but still strong and kickin. Nice work as always Reg.

[@doublemintmaple]

Best part is at the end, when the butt of the log lands right on the notch piece. Well done

[@mvblitzyo]

Wow that’s what I have to say about the music in this video. Your editing Percision cuts are absolutely amazing I tip my hat to an exceptional arborist !

[@blondemommyvomit]

Music is Brian Eno-esque.

[@shanesouza4303]

I have to reiterate what others have said. Watching the branches swing out away from the roof was amazing. Absolutely professionally done. I also noticed the slow and steady pace that you work at. I try to pass that along to others as it saves time and mistakes. Tnx for another vid Reg.

[@southerntasclimbers7271]

Had a long drive ahead of me yesterday so I plugged my AUX jack in and listened to your last Vlog on car stereo.. Interesting, you tell it like it is and you do it like it's meant to be done. Thanks Reg.!

[@Recoates]

Hey, one of my favorite channels. I often watch your projects over breakfast. 3 eggs, omelette style.

[@johndurant8687]

that ethereal music in the background is so perfect!

[@br-dj2ti]

You are a legend in my book you are so smooth and efficient it's amazing you know what every piece is going to do great work I wish I had you to mentor me in the tree business

[@martinstreeworks3310]

Very clean work Reg!, you are one of the best climbers that I have ever had the experience of watching besides myself lol, I have been climbing for over 35 years and do many cuts/moves similar if not the same way as you do and believe it or not also have a 020T which I like but prefer a good ol 011 on most of my climbs where single handing a saw is not an issue. The 011 pulls through bigger diam limbs quicker than the 020T and has 43cc's of displacement compared to about 35 or so on the 020. Having 3 bucket trucks including a 100 footer creates a whole new routine for removals. Take care and climb safe my friend.

[@treediculous8740]

A definite pro and probably the only person I have ever seen get away with wearing shorts under their chaps. Right on Reg! 👍👌

[@Bluecollar711]

Really like the music and passionate workmanship that's constantly displayed

[@jrmehaffey2484]

Solid work Reg. I learn a lot from your videos.

[@888HUSKERS]

Great video montage of cuts and impressive skills. As violent as the tree was shaking it looked scarier than when you were topping those super high trees near the roadways. Thanks for the content, my little 2 year old who’s obsessed with chainsaws and tree workers loved this video.

[@spelunkerd]

Wow, that is so complicated. Over a day of work, I can imagine many places where a slight misjudgement of stretch or distance or even how tightly the line is pretensioned would be serious. I'm sure lesser men would hire a crane to reduce the chance of error, then pass that huge expense on to the customer. Lots of little things are done here that would be easy to overlook, like the way you placed the stump wedge at the end to prevent the log from rolling into the adjacent home. Thumbs up, man!

[@anthonyholloway5522]

Man you are awesome! I've always had a prob getting up the courage to cut big limbs while in the tree but you make it seem so easy. Good job bro

[@rayclark9643]

The title for this video should have read Outstanding Arborist Removes Oak Tree:)

[@EricJemAndes]

Nice work man! Every time I watch someone else's work, I see new method/rigging point/Tie off points that I can start to incorporate in my own work process. Thanks for sharing! Also, just out of curiosity, what do you keep in the shoulder bag that you wear in many of your videos?

[@spambunny123]

I wish tree work sounded that peaceful in real life

[@lschmidt2405]

Reg & Groundie - awesome respectful work, great to watch.

[@michigandogman3060]

This reminds me of some of you videos from England, I really like those as there is a lot to learn from watching.

[@jims408]

Beautiful to watch such precision work.

[@moondog3162]

Awesome job and great camera shots/work/editing👍👍👍

[@americopedroni6837]

Awesome video, would love to do a full oak take down like that one. For whatever reason, the video was enhanced with no commentary

[@HollerHunter]

Fantastic work. How do you gauge where to attach your rigging line on the branch you are cutting? I kept thinking “that looks too far out there,” but then it would fold and drop precisely where it needed to. Sometimes I struggle knowing where to tie on to the piece being cut.

[@MonkeyGus]

Experience, starting small and working your way up helps, knowing balance points comes with time, and always better to be butt down than butt up and into your face.

[@nathanarievlis3985]

Unless you're at the strip club, then either way works

[@HollerHunter]

Nathan Arievlis 😂🤣😂

[@Recoates]

Reception. Conventional and crane related. And a conscious effort over-analize or worry.

[@jasongutierrez7507]

I’ve learned a lot from just watching Regs vids. He’s well past the 10000 hour rule. He’s a removal wizard! Ha ha lol

[@greenfeetmowingco]

Wow....I stopped that video time and again, studying the positioning and rigging. Thank you for sharing!

[@mikebryan544]

Reg, great video, can you please show a pic of the tree before the job starts. All the best

[@Recoates]

I shall try to remember

[@scatoutdebutter]

Thank you for putting this together. Re-watching to study details of rigging, harness/ropes, positioning, etc. * May I ask (as I see others have) .... what is the purpose of the bag you are wearing?

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

Robert Wood Looks like a hydration pack. I wear one myself on big removals and prunes.

[@Recoates]

Its to cary the camera, and sone water

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

And the ham and cheese sandwiches Reg?

[@scatoutdebutter]

Thanks, mate! ... er, Reg!

[@bradstreeservicellc2894]

3:03 the way he uses a micro to make sure the piece is in perfect position, in line with drop zone, excellent rigging

[@TheTreeBailey]

Like the old uk days, almost looks like the same tree you pruned a couple days ago. Love the 200 always

[@turtlezed]

that little chunk to arrest the trunk movement at the end....sweet.

[@plant.more.trees.]

You look calm and relaxed.... just like if you were doing yoga..... thanks for the video!

[@adamrawding2872]

Hi reg. Great video! Can i ask why you had your second pulley on a tail 5 feet away from the trunk instead of being up tight to it? Is this span rigging? What is your reason for doing this? Many thanks Adam

[@Recoates]

Adam it was mainly so i could retrieve the rigging line after the guys un tied it on the ground. Without it would've been difficult for me to reach without climbing right out to the main rigging point each time. It also shared the load some.

[@bfowler4350]

hey, I'm a "climber " on the east coast. Wish I would've known you! Alot of skill! Thank you

[@Recoates]

Better late than never. Nice to make your acquaintance. Lots of guys on here that Ive never met, but we all sorta know each other through talking through the years.

[@goshhowhorrible8340]

Is that a Stein vega Harrness? I've not met many others who climb on one. I've just had to retire my old vega as it was at end of life. I can't fault it, it suited my build and shape well and I like to keep things as minimal and un complicated as I can.

[@Recoates]

Yes it is. Had it probably 7 years

[@billbliss2500]

Love this one Reg. Question : When I look at these cuts how do you judge where the balance point is?

[@Recoates]

Repetition Bill. I do it without thinking. If i think about it and stare too long, Id probably mess it up.

[@EnigmaticPeanut]

@@Recoates Thank you very much for the advice. I recently started climbing and found out i have a certain talent for it, and i think it has to do with the instinctive approach i took to it. I try not to think too much, to stay focus and calm, and i do what i can...

[@63256325N]

Kinda looks like you know what ur doing. I saw some really fancy rigging, excellent job and a very well put together video. I'm sure it took a bit of time to set the camera and then, of course, edit it. Thanks very much for sharing the ride.

[@Magikminion]

Hah u must be a climber. Yea i was curious myself how long he was alloud, make no mistaskes hes a pro

[@randyupladek1855]

Just wondering what you do with all the wood Reg ? I like how you keep it small and simple .

[@Recoates]

We rarely have to take it. Most people either keep or give it away. Still lots of fireplaces out here

[@treedubya]

The pulley on the dead eye: is that to limit the amount you have to move the system for each cut?

[@jeremybuchanan4759]

Those shingles look like they've been wet since the day they were put on ... but a new day is dawning. Favorite limb - definitely @ 1:08

[@trefallerhighline2152]

Great show today Reg thank you for sharing

[@Bli44ard]

Thank you Reg

[@pain548]

looking at this video that red sling dont look much whot size is it thank

[@trefallerhighline2152]

Nicely done reg the amount of rigging you had to do was a lot of work an safely is great to see thank you

[@bobjohnson1219]

The last cut of the stump, the way it bounced, rolled onto the small wedge shaped chunk and stopped right there almost looked planned. Freaky accurate calculation.

[@gregbrown9271]

That was nice keep videos coming thanks for your time Reg✊👍

[@johndurant8687]

Really nice! - I'm going to watch a few times because I believe I saw some rigging ideas that we can all use. You should do an annual training seminar so some of us east coasters can fly out and meet a climb master.

[@Jamie-vp2yb]

One of my favourite videos, also love the music

[@RandolphDuk]

I am watching all of your videos because I'm supposed to be trained to do this eventually and the guys I keep getting stuck working with won't pre train me lol

[@ThienTran-ly9fi]

Thanks for this Reg.

[@Iithuanianboy]

Where did you get the face mask/muff combo? Been looking for the same one, no one seems to sell them in Canada.

[@reedwortley966]

Why'd it have to go? Looked like a really nice tree. Excellent work and video!

[@Recoates]

An ISA cert Arb wrote a report saying so. The municipality said ok. I bid the job and got it.

[@nathanarievlis3985]

Boom.

[@buggscarrot9557]

Amazing .. best i have ever seen. Do you have any locust tree's, in that area. They tend not to grow in forests but on the edge . they do not have a lot of branches

[@Recoates]

Like Roger says, Chris

[@gjhardy1999]

Hi is single rope technique easier than double rope technique

[@Recoates]

Some say so, others say not. Really depends on the task and individual. Its good to learn both.

[@moretmolina274]

Yes sir is your battery saw still working?

[@Recoates]

Absolutely. But I needed a bigger bar and faster cutting for this tree.

[@KennysTreeRemoval]

Simply amazing quality work Reg

[@darrelltolbert256]

How much do something like this cost to take down a grand father oak

I would title this video " The Art of Arboricultural Engineering" but I think your title is more fitting for a Zen Master.

Nice work man! It deff takes a skilled tree climber to remove something that big and that close to a home! Great job! I dont see how you wearing chain saw chaps though lol I'd be sweatting my ass off lol i wear cloggers their pretty sweet and keeps ya cool

Haven't recognized the one your wearing till now and looks to breathe well.I also wore heavy chaps that day.Can you suggest for us your go to gear for 90+ while still workn safe.THANKS REG,BE SAFE.

Hey Indiana Jones, What do you keep in your satchel? Nice work, per usual, but better edit. The close-ups you cut in were a nice touch. Excellent all around Reg, Thx. Don't know if you have any products to review or run over but I'd be interested in watching haha. Or one of your clever ideas you wanna share, either or. Thx again man, always a treat.

[@MonkeyGus]

Propper tricky stuff, flawless rigging lesson this video, this videos reminds me a lot of how i rig stuff myself, the style is quite simple but effective, all too often i see people on videos over complicating rigging, and reg just does it how i see london climbers do it.

[@samuelluria4744]

I have to agree, about alot of KZbin cutters overcomplicating their rigging. Not to mention all the stuff that doesn't even need to be rigged at all, Lol.

[@DrNarcotix]

Not the same tree you just recently reduced is it??

[@Recoates]

No haha, that would be something

[@bastogne315]

How old was that oak. I’d say 200 years. Did it really need to come out? Cutting down oaks is always emotive.

[@Recoates]

In the homeowners mind it needed to come out because of the proximity to the 2 houses, and that it was rotten. The municipal Arborist decided it was a reasonable request and granted a permit. Our job was to come in and remove the tree in a safe manner. Thats really all there is to it.
