Hey guys, I'm just a firewood cutter that usually calls one of my buddy's to do my tricky work. With a loss of communication between us I don't want to call him up just to help me and I want to learn this on my own.
For most of you this is a no brained I'm sure but I have a few large trees in the back of my house from sandy, they fell over and got caught in another tree so it's a tricky situation for me. I know it's hard without pictures and I can get some tomorrow if it helps. I know there is a ton of weight and pressure on a tree like this.
My thought would be the easiest way would be to get to the top and cut the branches holding it so it fully falls, but I'm no climber and that's just not In the cards. I could start at the base where it has fallen and cut upwards and let the tree drop as I do it but I fear ill get to a point where the trees straight up and down and have an even more unpredictable and dangerous situation.
Sorry for the long post just trying to explain as best I can
This is not the tree I'm cutting but an Internet photo similar to the situation I have
