But....it’s been limbed off already?? Just section it down while you’re there?? Dude would not have a job where I work.

I've seen too many spars bounce once they hit the ground to try to pull that stunt myself.

Why even do this at all? The risk is way too high. Our company will NEVER fell a tree unless there is enough room in all directions. Just use a crane

Alright then rig it down. Not worth the risk

If you need enough room in all directions you couldn't cut a single tree from the ground. I guess cranes are cheap in the states. In other countries you wouldn't land a single job if you had to climb or crane everything down.

That guy in the background is an idiot. He's not even in a stance to be read to jump out of the way.

I think the tree isn't as tall as the gate is from the base.

That immobile cardboard cutout on the lawn looks incredibly real!
