    Haha cheers dude, Your right though it's not something that anybody should be doing unless there absolutely confident about it.

    Cheers dude, Could you define risky though mate? Yeah if your all the while cutting at angles or an inch or so from your strop, or maybe you could be pushing on the saw way to hard and follow through on to the strop. I'm not ram headed by no means and I like to think I'm a cautious kinda guy. If I wasn't at all satisfied with my position and working ethnics whilst doing that then yeah! I'd probably create 2 points of anchor on the stem or in another tree. Your right though it's not a good practiced standard by no means and I don't condone it.

    Cheers fellas The 150 is a lovely saw Stephen, if it's for pruning then yeah light, responsive, and reasonably quite. Takedowns depends what timber and what size IMO. It struggles on 6" oak yet glides through 10" beach!! It's brilliant for jobs like this on, but at then end of the day they were not built for being hammered, they are still a glorified silky. Without serious porting, timing advancements, and tuning then buy a 201 or 540 mate. Hope this helps

    7 skinny poplars in total but made the video up of the 5 biggest. All ranging from 60/70ft in height and no more than 1 1/2ft in base diameter. The first 4 had to be halved so we could fit them in the area available to us. Nothing to strenuous and completed in 6 hours. Also introducing the spike cam with some footage of the KiwiKlimbers spikecender. Tried for as many angles as possible on the fells with a sneaky gob cam Anyway set to HD and enjoy.

    Really enjoyed working on this beast today. 90ft London plane tree, approx 6 1/2ft diameter at the base (possibly a little more). Main folk at 45ft was approx 5ft diameter at its widest. Job spec was 15% outer crown thin, removal of deadwood and crown raise to approx 5m.

    The throw line comp is on and again being sponsored by throwpod/sawpod, I'm not revealing much about the SRT climb this year as there's some big changes, but all for the best, let's just say it's completely aimed at SRT.
