Well now I'm honored this guy @Darrelljohnson4658 left me the same comment as @recoates

😂😂- thank God you cleared that up!

What is is like to have August Hunicke for a boss?

Thanks for the mention. You just caught me leaving the house. In 34 years of tree work I've never once had a bowline come undone. That's because my knots are always dressed, have a tail adequate in length, and of course I use the knot on ropes that are not rigid in character. If a bowline comes undone then the issue is with the person who tied it, not the knot itself. Unfortunately there's a lot of careless operators in the trade, who just don't pay enough attention to detail. Or they never learned the fundamentals of dressing a knot.

There is yes, but unfortunately I can't disclose it.

@@Recoates looking forward to any info, thanks!

It's very therapeutic

It's a RopeReg.

Reg invented his own device. He covers it in earlier videos released a few months ago.

Home made

It's a grillion I think. A retired lineman gave it to me recently

I work with sub contractors when I need them, but no employees. If I can manage alone then that's always the first choice.

No, I have to go out and work hands on, or I get sick.

Yes, Douglas fir

My hands and feet

@@Recoates 😂

@@Recoates I meant the device. Nevermind

The future device that's gonna sell out and give Reg his just desserts!

Great. I mounted it onto a muck truck 4x4. Drives anywhere now. Even up steps

You can't yet. But stay tuned

Some won't wait until lunch. They just tell stories throughout the whole day

@@Recoates Jesus Christ. I would murder someone like that

What is lunch 🤔

Fire away Seb

@@Recoates Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts. For some context, four years in tree work, almost the same amount climbing. Formal qualifications are Cert 3 Arboriculture climbing and environmental and Cert 3 light vehicle automotive. Weather permitting work, it's very unlikely here that we need to reschedule work or have a day off due to it. I don't mind the rain or heat, how often would you say you would have to put a hold on things and reschedule? Are some weeks there an absolute no go? Planning on living around Vancouver with the occasional trip to Vancouver Island to see partners relatives. Would you say this is a suitable area to pick up work, choices between companies and/or contracting with perhaps a variety of works, from pruning to removals big and small. Included in that work, I have considered forestry/logging, unsure if it's possible to get into anything along those lines without prior solely forestry experience here. Also, we're planning on bringing our dog over, are conservation laws similar to ours in the fact of no dogs/animals allowed in national parks. Would love to see the place and go for long hikes with her, no go? Any further suggestions or recommendations on who to get in contact with? Kind regards, Sebastian

@Seb Krause I think there's plenty of work to be had in Vancouver. But it's a big sprawling city where crime is rife, and the drug culture is off the scale. Apparently, it's nobody's fault, at least that's the government and media's joint narrative. Vancouver does get a lot of rain through the fall and winter. Obviously your skin won't leak but you sometimes have to be selective as per what jobs are suitable on a given day. Windstorms and snow are also to be expected through that time of year. So there's every chance you might miss a day or two here and there. We let our dog loose wherever we feel it's safe. There's lots of remote wilderness parks to choose from where you wont have any restrictions. The deeper you go, the better people you're most likely to come across. City's, on the other hand, are full of busy body's who can't mind their own business and generally take issue with dogs being loose. In the more remote areas, I'm very conscious about cougars and wolves in particular. The dog is definitely the target, and they knownhow to lure it into a trap. But in the dogs favor it's often also able to smell and hear the predator before us. The thing I to be vigilant, have a means to defend yourselves and leash the dog if you get a bad vibe.

@@Recoates Fantastic response, have no idea what areas are like and there's only so much research one can do. Interesting to hear about the drug problem. Think we'll try find somewhere outside of the city limits that's pet friendly. Have heard about some predators but good to know there's still places that allow you to go with dogs, I think we'd keep her on a long leash unless we're confident in the area. I suppose I was concerned with crews having more than a few days off in a row or times of the year being particularly bad and unworkable. Few more thoughts to add to the drawing board. Would love to work on Vancouver Island, but have heard living costs are significantly increased there. Regards,

@Seb Krause Vancouver city is far more expensive than anywhere on Vancouver Island. Try Martin Evans at VI Tree Service, Nanaimo, martin.evans@vitree.ca Nanaimo has its share of drugs and crime too, but you have great access to the mountains and the west coast. Neighboring towns Ladysmith and Parksville are cleaner nor would be a big commute.

She suffered a shoulder injury working for someone else. Had to have surgery and a long recovery. But she's since picked herself up and had a change of direction career wise

I very much appreciate your instructional posts. Well engineer and the visuals match the voice. Your calm manner of explaining what your doing, as you are doing is very helpful. I tend to use brute strength more than you, but my back and knees tell me to learn more rigging techniques from you. Thank you, Reg. Keep up the good work . I already know you will stay safe, so I will say"have fun".

@@Recoates Give Amber our best, hope she heals up fully.

Groundsman are not always available to me. But that doesn't mean I'm forced to take a day off and sit at home. It seems most people in the comments understand and relate to that. I make a good living doing what I do.

No, I learned on the job. Started at 17

There is no news on it right now but hopefully soon. My part is pretty much finished, hopefully. Just legal stuff to complete, then another party pretty much takes control. Mechanically, it's not like the others. I suspect it will prove very popular.

@@Recoates if you want anyone to test prototypes I would pay for one

@@Recoates if you get time and want to make a video showing more of it and how it functions. That would be awesome
