Shows how little regard people have for their own lives!

 

God knows how much time and effort it has taken to just get the ladders 'secured' into the tree.

 

hopefully the owner of the tree is just putting himself at risk and not some young lad from the farm.

If it was near me I’d book a few days off and hide behind the hedge with my telephoto….would be worth the wait!!

It happens...last week we were doing 70' conifers reduce down to 20'. Guys had been on the job for 3 days taking down a scyamore and lifting one....with bow saws and working off ladders. 2 guys £200 each a day,all the brash was left attached to heavy wood and just stacked,and all 4' stubs with tear's on the lift. They bottled the conifers.

 

Took me 1/2 hour to climb sycamore and remove all stubs while lads chipped all brash from their work. We got £1200 and for another £200 would have done all the job. Overall they paid a grand more to have their trees fecked. Dipsticks...lol

[skyhuck]

looks to me like a practically minded individual who has found a way to DIY a tree.

 

No one is asking me to go up it so why should I care?
