Okay, you asked for it. Here's another one. This was a job we did at the Phoenix Zoo on an island. It was a challenging but rewarding job. Most of the vid. is pruning a palm with a very heavy skirt from the top down. These are the palms that kill climbers every year when attempted from the bottom. I made it with a helmet cam with a low resolution, so watch in HQ if possible. If you can make it to the end, there are some pics. about 6 minutes.

Looking good!! I think it's cool to see the Palms done, since we don't have those here in KY. I remember Dad telling me about doing them when he lived in AZ. He said you couldn't cut them really with a saw, so they had these curved blades that they use to slash right through them and how they used chains for a lanyard.
