    Dangerous rotten tree help!

    I was working this tree and decided to quit and go home. There’s not way to climb on either of the limbs as they’re hollow. One is over the house and the other a power line. I had considered hinge cutting it into the back yard as is but decided it’s beyond my skills

    Where can I buy a top handle saw

    So I’m an amateur tree climber and I currently work with an Ms 211 I have no problems but I want to have a spare saw and test how a top handle saw performs. I cannot spend more than 400$ I intend of buying a hitachi 32cc for around 240$ Unless anyone talks me out of it.

    LOL...anyone know of an underwater chainsaw???

    I thought that sounded insane! Read your quote.. why do you hate on Stihl? I use an ms211 stihl right now, I’m looking into getting a lighter saw to climb with.

    Openly admitting being an "amateur" + free gear = good idea or irresponsible?

    So if they only wrapped it say twice.. there would be less friction the top would have fell further and not transferred as much force to the trunk? I’m looking a buying a porta wrap soon now.

    Great video thanks! So what did he do wrong in This video? Besides being inexperienced and wrapping to many times it loooka like a good job to me..

    They had 5 wraps on the porty which I guess is too many? Never used one myself.. would a dynamic rope instead of static rope Cause less jolting of the climber? I currently work alone so that would benefit me

    Where can I learn to use a portawrap? I currently Just wrap around the base of the tree or something with 2 or three clove hitches then climb down after each section to lower it since I work alone

    I have fallowed this YouTube channel for weeks now, he is a wealth of knowledge and entertainment, and a volunteer firefighter/logger. That being said he didn’t use his chain guard when pushing over the sections and that’s just ****ing crazy.
