Thanks for the interest guys.

- I tied into the maple once I was near the top, mainly because I had to remove a fairly large dead limb on the maple that was relatively close to the hemlock (left that part out of the video). I actually had to leave the hemlock to finish the stub on the maple. Since the line was already thrown around a solid section of the maple, I decided to leave it there as a high TIP while I took the top of the dead hemlock. The top section had about a 4" dia. and although I felt it was secure, it was easier with a high TIP. Usually I'll just double wrap my lanyard when the trees diameter get that small.

- The top was a little small, however it was stable and had only been dead for less than a year.

- Techman is correct, it was done on purpose. When working by myself, if I can, I'll drop the limbs into a pile and then chunk the wood in a different pile, makes for an easier cleanup. (unless I need the brush pile to absorb the impact of the chunks). Since this tree was above a septic field, I also did not want the heavier/larger branches landing on the field. - if they had of landed on the field butt first they could have broken the leaching pipes. (The smaller branches, this was not an issue).
On some large branches I will cut them partially through and then finish them with the hand saw, I don't like grabbing a branch close to the running chainsaw and just using a handsaw only on a large branch is too time and energy consuming.

- I just started posting the videos and put my phone number in, just in case. A lot of my customers are not home when I remove their trees and are curious as to how it is done. Hopefully the videos will give them some idea. Who knows, maybe they will even see their tree in there one day.
I am considering having a web page and if I do, I'll definitely have a link to my Youtube page.
You have some real skill. Your tree works not too sloppy either.
