Smooth. I like seeing the cuts you make. Opening shot of your setup is nice.

What is the over the shoulder gear bag? What do you keep in that?

A spot of tea, mate!

The camera
Thanks

Nice B&W video and the color transition at the end was reminiscent of Wizard of Oz. Neat effect. All that orange at the end likely made a couple of folks' day here...

Rain kept hitting the lens. But seems less distracting in black and white, or grey. Grey captured the mood on that job too.

I hesitate to show this... flushcut, come back from the tattoo parlor!

Great video, great sound track, as always, Reg. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to shoot, edit and post it. Amazing trees, too bad they were not put in a spot where they could be left alone to grow as big as conditions might allow.

Wow that vid was on another level.

Too short for us hardcore fans.

30 y o? Geez we need Sequoias to battle the fiber shortage!

Pure beauty. Great skills and good on the camera and editing. Super!

30 years old? Bloody hell!

Excellent negative rigging, big pieces, props to your groundy.

I'm curious what you mean by a 'grey day'. I swear I almost saw a smile there when you gave the camera a thumbs up.

Cool vid as always. Precision.

No tattoo for me but, yes, Husqvarna is the superior saw.
I do have four Stihls a 200t, HT101, a string trimmer, and a BR600.

Just a ton of mass to drag and chip, Justin. 4 loads on my truck. Thought we'd have it in 2, but was badly caught out.

Thanks all

Ahh I got ya now. That sucks when there turns out to be more tree then was supposed to be there.

In the California burbs a backyard planted redwood, constantly watered and fertilized with dog poop, can put on 2 inches of girth a season.

Though the quality of the wood isn't quite up to par with old-growth.

Nice video Reg. I really enjoyed it. Prolly watch it again in a bit to look into detail.

Hey, Reg. Something I forgot to ask in my last post, is how tall that 30 year old Redwood managed to get, and if it was one of the giant redwoods or a coast redwood?

I also wanted to say, in retrospect, that it amazes me that you can shoot and do such a great job of editing from one day to the next. It is a really powerful capability to have in your tool box. Thanks again.

Reg is the man! Met him once. Most bad ass and humble tree man I’ve ever encountered

A giant redwood I believe, both of them. Not so giant yet at no more than 80 ft at a guess. If if in a forest maybe theyd be twice that but less stocky.

Thanks Rich, I remember thinking 'whats that guy smirking at' as you approached

always interesting what is in our heads unspoken.

Thanks for the answers, Reg. Much appreciated. Four foot diameter in 30 years is just amazing to me. Thanks again for taking the time and trouble to shoot it all and then post it. Stay well.
