Excellent work. Just looking down the stem at about 6.08 on the second vid, the stem seemed to bend quite abruptly and from that angle it looked a bit 'S' shaped. Was it a tricky section to negotiate - work position wise?

[Treewarrior]

Great videos and a pleasure to watch and learn. I'm based in Middlewich. Was the job near Macc?

[John Hancock]

Wish there was such thing as reincarnation – then maybe, just maybe I could have my time again and be as proficient as you Reg, damn all those wasted years!

[Mark Bolam]

Mint work Reg.

 

Horrible tree and drop zone.

 

Great stuff by yourself and your crew.

 

How are the Klima-Air boots stood on spikes for so long?

 

And why did someone let a tree in that location get so damn BIG!

[skyhuck]

Exceptional as always Reg!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to share

Lancstree, yes it was S shaped at that point but not too bad to cause me a problem.

 

Treewarrior, it was Handforth which is a little closer to Wilmslow than Macclesfield.

 

Mark Bolan, the Kilma-Air boots are without doubt the most comfortable spiking boots I’ve ever worn.

 

John Hancock is that your boy in your avatar? Treework is a good job, but my daughter is a miracle mate….when I’m at work my mind is with her and the mother, when I’m at home I never think about work. If I had my time again I would get an education, work in a better paid industry and have more kids. Thanks again.

Ditto Reg. Family puts things in perspective (for me)

 

Nice work on a tight difficult tree.

Reg,

 

could you not run your own show??

 

I have 4 children and what I consider to be a high standard of living.

 

If I can make good money, I feel sure you could.

 

I know nothing of your personal circumstances and really do not want to come across as trying to patronise you, as that is in no way my intention.

 

IMO, a skilled hard worker can make GOOD money in this industry.

 

If a guy like you is not making VERY good coin something is very wrong.

Dave I do ok, and would like to believe that there are some good opportunities to be had in the not too distant future. However, if you'd asked me when I started out 20 years ago where I'd be now, I'd have probably expected to be a little further forward. I have no regret's though, but do recognise where I should have channelled my energy a little smarter in years gone by.

 

I do appreciate the very fine complement that John paid me, and in reply was simply offering a personal perspective on where I regard tree climbing at this stage in my life.

Good stuff Reg, your a bit like the great Fred, honest, down to earth and a master at his work.

 

I know filming must be a pain sometimes but keep em coming, there great to watch.
