I was so busy felling trees that I missed it first 😅

Great to see you back after such a long time ! So many videos on KZread but when your name comes up it’s mesmerising quiet , the music haunting , the setting is always something out of this world , I get why you moved out there , amazing , keep safe Reg your an inspiration 🌲🙏

Top a tree, and stack the logs, simultaneously. Legend.

Good morning Reg, Thankyou so much for doing another Stella video.. It must be a pain to video when all you want to do is concentrate and crack out the job.. But I really appreciate your time and energy into providing these... Over the years I learnt SO much for you which I've implemented into my Arb life. Thanks again and hope you have a great day. Dave from West Sussex England

The control of the fear and adrenaline to carry out such controlled dismantling when working on such a colossal tree is inspiring.

Ray from Australia here, awesome videos. Been watching them for years now. Cool to see a ported 390xp up there with you. My favorite saw. Have a great week👍

Grand fir. Grand Master. Grand video. Good ye had on the hi-vis, presumably as protection against low flying aircraft. 😆 👍

Every video from Reg is a Master class, Thanks.

Good to see another vid Reg. That 390 sure has a unique sound. love it. The Lord Jesus bless you and keep you safe up there!

Huge fan of your channel! Your edit's always set the mood.

Definitely one of the masters of the high canopy!💪

6:35. The over the shoulder cut is epic!😆🌿🌸

Reg. please post more if you can. Your videos are amazing.

WOW, I would be wore out by the time I got to the first cut !!! So impressive Reg ❤❤ and Thank you 👍👊

Love seeing the 540 do what it does best . Thanks for sharing it’s been awhile . Hope all is well .😊

Reg is back... Missed you my friend .. A pleasure to watch you work. Thank yopu.

Great work Reg. Calm and collected as always

I want to thank you Reg for the grappling hook idea 💡 thank you sir

Scared the boards off that picnic table!! Great work Reg!!

Great edit bro, takes you really along the way.

Those traverses with the grappling hook always make my gnads shrivel up. Great video, missed seeing ya.

The nibbling away at the last bit of the felling cut to gently reach the point of balance under total control...is brilliant! I love watching this, and the only other climber I can recall do it with such precision & patience is Graeme McMahon. What exalted company the two of you make.

If only the video can show the adrenaline rush that you have while topping a 200 ft tree It's so hard to explain in a video. You nailed it Brother My adrenaline was with you on this video I needed that. 👊 nice editing

Nice, easy work🤙 love those open drop zone fir removals👍

6:57. I bet you were thinking, “No wonder the back cut was so stubborn, there was a knot right there!”😆🌿🌸

Wonderful to see another video, Reg! Thanks!

This music adds a truly mystical feeling to your video...Happy St. Patty's Day Reg!

We really enjoy the precision cuts, falling in the beneficial landing area.

more videos please! Great to watch, no BS

Skilled labor.

Thanks Mate! ... my son has recently gotten into the tree business and I'm sending him this video as inspiration! Best regards and best wishes!

BTW that Husky 390 is a BEAST! Never once let me down with a 36” bar. Thats a MAN’s saw😎

The opening chainsaw buzzes are a call to prayer..Gotta love the cacophony of the saws....

Thanks for taking the time to film and edit this stuff, I know it must be a lot of work, but I also know we all appreciate the effort. The music adds a hell of a lot of gravitas to the proceedings as well, well chosen

Great to see a new video from you. Just watching you cut that big wood all the way to a slither of hinge always gets my heart racing. Great job as always.

Chunking down that spar was amazing. Much respect man

Damn Reg. I missed u. 🎉 Love ur climbs, bro. I'm a Ponderosa man.

The background at the start makes it feel like a dream.

Master of the trade, thanks for sharing big man!

Incredible! Thank you for posting!❤❤❤

Those chunks were bigger than all the trees I took down last month

Awesome! A pleasure to watch your skills.

Love it, thank you Reg!

G'day Reg, you made that look easy as always. It's a shame about the root rot the logs looked ok though, all the best 👍.

Brilliant video Thanks for posting.

That transition to next tree 😎

Nice to see a video Reg. Great job 🫡

Those are some beautiful trees. Good video as always 🪓

Awesome job buddy, thanks for the video 👌👍

@@Recoates I know you know about this ridge. Did you do the auto tune to it immediately? You let it idle for 3 minutes and then you run it wide, open and run it down a piece of wood and Bury the tip and keep going down for 40 seconds. It helps a lot mind had the same problem once. I did that it was amazing hope that helps buddy

Always a job well done tx for sharing

That looked fun!!!

That's some war of the worlds style noise in the beginning! Never heard a saw like it.

Excellent work.

You're the man Reg!

Amazing job Reg you are a brave soul

You make it look so easy lol..great video

Amazing stuff 😮

Enjoyed the video. Nice work up there. A1

Well done cousin

Thanks Reg. Happy Saint Patrick's day!

Crazy looking top! Some very fine grain in there! I'd be up there counting the rings xD I can't help it

love the edit

Good job and interesting edit

7:45. Nice and flat!🌿🌸

Bravo undermining 2 for 2 would be a good test for the 3002 RC at 200 ft to show its capabilities..

Awesome transfer at H E I G H T - Smooth & no cowboy / tarzan stuff just Real Life Safe Arborist - Thanks Reg 👍 Professional Business as usual - from Calvin Woodman at Barrie Ontario Brother 🌄

So good!!

Nice one Reg 👍

Nice video 👍

God bless buddy I hope always well could not wait for another video

Fantastic content at the top, and the ambient music really helped to heighten perilous moments up there like traversing between trunks! Do you ever allow yourself a moment to wonder what if something were to fail in the rigging or are you always held by at least two different ropings?

Yes Chis, I make a habit to contemplate the contemplate the what iffs. Deliberately envisaging the worst possible outcome is part a technique that helps keep me focused and disciplined. Kinda morbid, but it's worked so far

Your a badass bro love your videos

Some massive logs there !!

bombs away. Man, some perfect weather. You are a beast bro

Awesome bud

Nice work Reg. I would like to see your method for lowering and swapping out saws. I use a micro pulley and my climb line just curious your method

@Recoates

2 ай бұрын

Similar mate. Micropulley and sling hung off a stub overhead. Had to swap and haul the 572 190ft, so definitely worth planning for.

Awesome as usual, I hope you are well. Us that a 16 "bar on the mk3 t540? And is there any news on your climbing device?

@Recoates

2 ай бұрын

Yes, 16"bar. The device is now in someone else's hands. That's all I can say about it for now.

Nice work Reg. It must be difficult to climb with a set of nuts that big.

Almost as good as a real spacewalk

Are you hapoy with the 546? Thanks for the great pictures Reg.

8:18. I would like to talk to someone that knows for sure the proper angle for the face, depending on the elevation, length of log, etc, to figure out the way to land flat. Obviously you know, but I’m still guessing. Most are good, but I’ve planted a few, to my shame!😆🌿🌸Great stuff!

@peelnation

2 ай бұрын

Assuming it's vertical. The piece you're cutting should be 1/5 of the stem. Deep conventional 45 degree notch a little more than halfway should make it flip and land flat. August gets them flat more by 'feel' and giving a little push upward on the butt as it leaves to get a rotation

A lot of it is that one fifth ratio if you are free to choose length of logs. From higher in the tree and on smaller wood you can effect the spin a surprising amount by a tap with your hand. Less than 1/5 could use a down slap to the butt to slow the spin, longer pieces a hand under(but not in the undercut!)allowing the tip to get ahead on the rotation.

hi Reg, are you face cutting under the higher branches to make them fall slower? so they don't fall like darts quite so quickly.

@Recoates

Trying to fold them in towards the stem, away from the table. I'm sure I answered this already but I don't see it

Giddy like a school girl when Mr Coates is cutting

Reg is cutting stuff over a hundred feet up in the air than I cut on the ground here in the east! And that's some very ominous music, quite appropriate for the scale of this tree!

Hey Reg..how did your invention go?

All good. Although It's pretty much out of my hands now

does anyone know why he's not using sidecuts on those 20 foot tops he's dropping? I'm sure there's a reason and i'd like to hear it!

I know to you this is all old hat, but to most of us we will never get to be in the canopies that you get to call your office, so from us small tree cutters I thank you for taking us on a ride of a lifetime. I know you have been in some tall trees, so I was wondering what was the tallest tree you have taken down and the tallest you have climbed recreationally?

@Recoates

2 ай бұрын

I don't do rec climbing, and it's very difficult to say which was the tallest. The old growth fir I've worked on here are generally between 200-250 ft. There was once a heavy leaner that I did which stood out in my mind because it was way above all the others that I could see in the group. But being up there you are sharply focused on getting the job done safely. Height only factors into your mind depending on how far your line is from the ground for when you inevitably have to swap for a bigger saw
