This can not be a serious thread!

But if it is, my solution is bang them over at ground level, straight through a big chipper, charge £800, home by 10.30am! Brilliant!!

What?, no crotch at all!

 

That sounds like a nasty injury.

 

After recovering from that i'm not sure I would want to get into a conifer,

but if I really did, I guess I would just pull myself up using my arms....

A ladder? That'll give you a bit of start, before you DON'T spike the rest of the way.

Yep me to big ladder is always my first thing on the van bigger the better for me. Them there throw bags are all good and well but you can't beat a dam big ladder and work all the rest out when you get to the top of it 

But a throwline takes up less room on the truck and takes even less carrying into someones back garden. Haha.

Make sure they're the big pole gaffs and that you drive them in good and hard!
