seconded, the basic oregon is pretty crap, visor too thick. you can get drop down goggles but youre on the wrong track, you want a standard visor and standalone safety glasses. not a legal thing, just worth having unless you want your face whipped by branches constantly. protos is expensive but people say its worth it, husqvarna do a selection of cheaper stuff. or the petzl or sovos kits look pretty good. the list on what else you want is almost endless, depending on the work youre doing. personal sorta kit, skipping over climbing gear and basic landscaping stuff, generally you want silky or similar, small axe, (doubles as hammer for wedges) grab some tree marker spray

keep them. theyre still upright so can be saved. reduce the uprights to roughly the height of the main trunk. gonna look like shit but will encourage more bird life. but get a decent arborist to do it, not a gypo.

Does this tree pose a threat?
manco replied to blackarrow's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
if the tree is upright, its at risk of falling at some point. once you realise that the rest is risk management and betting. -

excellent bit of gear. well worth the money. great for fiddly little cuts where the silky struggles to fit. and small pruning thats mostly silky with a few bigger lumps. battery life sucks arse a bit of youre doing anything big but if its small stuff its great.
