I used a Poulan Pro something or another. Forget the size but much more powerful than the old greens I have. lol

I get the same question when folks see videos of me breaking a new horse. I figure if I fall on a rock it will help, if I break my neck a helmet won't help much.

Well I have taken down over 200 trees so, I do have some experience. I also had redundant safety belts. One my dad used when he used to climb telephone poles and an additional rope backing that up.
I don't look forward to having to do it again especially at my age (57).
You may not want to hear how I got up there to begin with. My extension ladder wouldn't reach the first limb.

It's a Miller tree climber harness. $65 new in the sealed bag shipped to me.

impressive job, especially at your age, sir. I'll give you that.

No problem. I might not be your average do-it-yourselfer. Don't remember if you can see the house in the background but I built it from the clearing up. I did however hire an A/C guy to do that. I don't know much about A/C systems. The electrical I can handle with no problems though.
Log home, bought linear footage not a kit.

Knowing you, I agree with everything you said, except that you would have had the lawn chair in the tree with you.

I don't think they get much further north than the Everglades. We do however have plenty of these.
