    Hung up Red Oak

    As I reduced the fallen tree to just the contact points it seemed nothing could get hung up. I used a keen eye and a bit of luck.

    Hung up Red Oak

    Hung up Red Oak

    Once I had as much off as I could we tensioned the two dwt's plus one more rope at the top and then cut it at the base. Plan worked well. After several cuts there was around 50' of tree hanging free off the ground. I have a few more pics in my phone I will post later.

    Hung up Red Oak
