Here\'s two removal videos.
A dead pine that we recently removed-to a 25 foot habitat snag, thus the stubs in the picture. It had reasonable trunk taper so I felt safe climbing it and doing some speedlining which resulted in very light side loading. Needed to pull a fair sized 30 foot top, which was plenty brittle as can be seen, to fit the small drop zone. Erred on the side of caution, and rolled it off a pine in order to gaurantee the garage would not be hit. Took 30 minutes later to get out several broken branches that were stuck in the pine...fun with throw lines!

Odd, I can't get the vids to embed....thought I knew how to do it...
