Tree Guy
A couple of videos shot on the same property two weeks ago.

Since both trees leaned over the water quite a bit, I thought it would be faster to speedline the limbs onto the shore. I also swung some of the birch limbs from a natural crotch. Both trunks were blocked down in firewood lenghts (I had to throw them to clear the slope of the rock shoreline).
The birch had quite a bit of decay on the bottom (near the deck) but could handle the limbs being directly dropped onto the speedline. The maple was another story. Due to several cavities higher in the trunk, I decided to drop the limbs onto a rigging line and then I use the rigging line to control the decent on the speedline. The top of the maple was giving me some concern so we decided to just put a tagline on the larger limbs and pull them onto the rocks as I cut them.
Hope you enjoy.
