My first whole tree dismantle, its a monster.

[Steve Bullman]

You made the right call...stripping it was def the way to go. Well done

6 and half a dozen really, you would have only had to do on the ground what you did from a rope, and as mentioned before there would have been lots of tension, compression and bits stuck in the ground. Good call I reckon

Public right of way near the tree,

[Tommy Hutchinson]

Well its not fully exposed to the public, but in the day i was there 10 to 12 people walked/ran by the tree. the field is used a lot by the public as a footpath. So its pretty busy.

Marc, yes you are right

[Mark Bolam]

The Dave Angel eco-warrior in me is thinking move the footpath a bit!

 

Good work though Tommy, that tree was a biggun alright.

Good practice to climb and cut big limbs but you had nothing to mis should of put something under neath. But what escape route had you got when felling butt allso limbs are spread out and you have a bigger area to clear up. Learning is good fun.

I thought that but then why not? its a perfect first tree to be practicing on

 

I agree, perfect bit of practice and possibly less mess.

The firewootastic in me was thinking, bag that one and leave some scabby old poplar for the bugs and beasties.
