Don't cut it , but suggest installing a lightning conducter and charge 2,000 pounds.

the fact you had to ask this question, also answers it.

[Bigfellers]

and why are you travelling anywhere without your silky?

[Mr. Squirrel]

My major concern would be topping the thing. The gear sounds like it could be fine but I'd say fell it or leave it alone.

keep your fingers crossed and hope it rains ! 15ft is it worth it !

Free climb it and be brave.

My first thought would be taking 15' off a 90' conifer is a huge mistake.

 

But if they insisted is what they wanted I'd be happy too help, gears sounds more than adequate for the task.

 

Mouth out words of taken the my

You are staying with a friend, 400 miles away from home and no kit with you. They are dropping slight hints about how they would like 15' or so off the top of the 90' western red cedar in the garden.

 

Tree is dead straight, greenhouse underneath on one side nice big drop zone on the other. After saying you might do it, you are offered a rock climbing harness, 50m 11mm dynamic rope, 2 rock climbing prusiks (6mm?) and 3 screw gate krabs, all this of unknown age and history.

 

Saw is a Husky 142 that is a pig to start, seems to have some fuelling issues but will go and does have a new chain.

 

Would you do it as a favour, as it's the Friday of a week off and you're a bit bored? Or would you not even consider it and do it next time you're there with your own kit?

 

specs a bit iffy, as for the kit, no probs, get it done

[kev7937]

I'd tell them to get a local contractor in. Def not with their dodgy kit

 

 

Ha ha just me then

 

No wonder mates are thin on the ground.
