Having my lunch in the van, up the road a van pulls over guy jumps out, ladders up side of a large tree ( oak or beech) honestly not sure but bloody big tree .

He pulls a chainsaw out of van, climbed the ladder, one foot on branch, one foot on ladder! Starts chainsaw up, cuts branches off !

 

Guys wearing shorts ! Thick socks and heavy duty trainers, hiking type. Cut branches off, branches on floor, he goes at them with chainsaw like Edward scissor hand did with the ice sculpture.

 

Throws branches inside van. Off he drives !

 

The thought what could happen made me cringe !

My uncle had a guy top some trees - the guy is a knotweed eradication specialist but does trees as a hobby. He also teaches MMA. Dude climbs two spruces, two and a half foot diameter at the grind so I don't know how tall they were, lets say 100ft - climbs them freestyle mind, no ropes or anything, tops the trees about halfway up, while standing on branches. No tag lines. No charge, as the knotweed took less time than he thought...
