Yup, tape a couple of small neodymium magnets to scabbard of saw. Works great. For Silkys.

 

 

Good tip that one mark.

Silky nantanoko. Clips into the scabbard and doesn't come out.

Whats the best method for climbing this limb as you can not get an anchor point above you. In training they don't teach you how to get out to the end of this type of limb.

 

Customer has requested the removal of the broken branch, as you can see by the attached photo, a previous large branch had broken off 2 years ago. I have suggested and they agree the limb should be cut back at least 25%. Not sure if the end of the limb is decayed.

 

Directly underneath is a wooden summer house so very little drop zone. My difficulty has always been climbing this type of limb when angled as this one is. Some info on technique you would use would be helpful.

Looks like you will be doing the shuffle/ tree hug style of climbing along the top of the trunk, taking your anchor with you
