Split tree removal

[Mgold]

I’ve got this tree that’s gonna come down soon if I don’t take it down. It’s got a split vertically and is go pretty far to the base. Ideally I’d drop it to the left, because there’s another tree to the right and a road opposite of the camera. What’s the safest way to get this down? I’m not sure how long that strap is gonna hold it together and I need to get my power back to the barn! Thanks!

You need a pro with a bucket truck. Trying to fell something like this is asking to get hurt.

I wouldn't say your pro NEEDS a bucket truck, but you definitly need a pro. Make sure they have insurance. Get a certificate of insurance and call to make sure its valid.

Otherwise we'll be watching you on a YouTube video or reading about you on dripline.net.

Thanks for the replies, I’ve got someone coming out tomorrow to take a look.

Why not just grab a ladder, stand on the last rung, cut a Mexican Jumping Whizzer, and simply throw in a Bypassed French Tickler Stepcut for good measure?

You're just suggesting a BFTS because it was banned in the PNW not 14 years ago!

I think I did that last night! It worked, but I did take a nasty fall into the bed post.

Only because you did it on that ladder, dumdum!

@Mgold

what happened?

Just so you know, none of those inside-jokes were in any way a knock at you.

Fuck, I hope the barn is still standing as I completely forgot to add the Swinging Norwegian portion to this "out of the box", next level cut. Oops?

So that’s why it didn’t work!
