wow thanks - exactly the sort of advanced stuff I was asking about  - I just knew there would be secret methods, will have to part with some cash for the DVDs. I don't expect all this fuss will save more than 10 mins as opposed to branch walking - but I like the bravado of it all.

Will Heals tale of the barbers chair is food for thought - sure can be a dangerous game.

Can't help thinking about Terry from TH trees - all the dangerous stuff in his work and he died in a crash in his BMW. It's not enough to be safe in the trees - everything in life has to be made safe. Anyone who makes it to retirement age is very lucky indeed.

This game isn't about bravado mate, you don't want to be the coolest man in a wheelchair eating through a straw. Get some experience under your belt before whacking off heavy limbs in one. ?

Mild alarm bells ringing with talk of bravado and enjoying the revving of the saw.....

Stay safe pal

All this talk of baranek and bore cuts is too much for a newbie.

Keep it simple and step cut it in bite size sections.

Dont attatch the chainsaw lanyard to your harness incase the saw gets caught in the kerf.With snap cuts only experience will teach you how much of a gap to leave between cuts as you will cut some too close and the log will drop off on you.

Given its a cut and chuck,no targets under the tree,you will get off with dropping em should you fcuk up

I think there's a lot of time been devoted to a situation that realistically isn't going to happen very often in UK arb.

 

I'd love to be creaming off massive laterals into bomb-proof drop zones with cunning Coos Beach inverted Swedish jump Dadio dogtooth bore cuts on a daily basis, but the reality is you'll wipe out Mrs. Cunningham-Forsythes favourite petunia bed and get a bollocking.

 

Every tree is different. There is no catch-all for every situation.

 

Go small, and go home.
