That's the scariest solution to to this problem I've read on this thread so far. Id rather climb it than do that.

 

 

 

 

Apologies for the lack of smiley stuff but I hope that most people realised I was jokingly suggesting one of the worst ways of dealing with it.

But if the tree was stable enough to climb... Which it was.

 

What would be different of pottering around for a bit underneath it to remove the fence panels?

 

Interesting thread. I had one a few years ago. Luckily I could tie into a neighbouring tree. Swing into the crown. Dismantle to a stick before the fell.

 

We felled it at an angle but for a laugh I removed saws, lanyards etc and as the tree was going over I surfed it down until my climb line took up the tension and I swung away to my anchored tree.

 

We did film it but it was in the days before smart phones and the guy with the phone was also on the pull line. He couldn't hold the phone still for laughing.

Everyone saying remove fence, you would be working under tree :thumbdown: leave till platform or crane available.

 

I once made the mistake of assuming a snapped out oak limb was stable, it very nearly hit the groundie and is prob the closest I've been to a serious accident in nearly 20yrs of tree work
