So I have never been up to tree with chainsaw and this was chance I couldnt slip thru my hands. My uncle had these two birches to be removed from leaning over his carage, not a big deal for pro but seemed to be good place to get my arb-hobby-virginity lost and kit tested.

So I created overhead anchor to top of pine next to me to work SRT with lowerable baseanchor and also managed a light rigging anchor to another pine.

Then started from down to top cut branches, rigged them down securely not to wreck the roof. Then rigged the stems down block by block with safe swing over the fence, pieces so light that my groundie could hold them barehanded.

According to my smile this was propably the greatest day of my winter, first takedown ever and my hobby has given everythig I could ask for.

Of course I made some mistakes and dumb cuts, including cutting trhu hinge of top and dropping it on my head (branches weigh more than I expected) but I tried to play safe and at the end of a day Im fine and pretty excited how it turned out.
