I have 3 dead spars, 2 oak, 1 hickory, all about 13"dbh... they are very dead... no safe way to climb them, no good climbing trees close enough to lower from.
If they were live I'm fairly sure I could drop them where I want them with wedges but I'm thinking that won't work with dead wood. I have to miss a house which should be easy enough except one of them leans toward it slightly.
I can probably get a rope on them about two thirds of the way up.
I've never felled dead trees against a lean before. Any suggestions on how I should approach these guys?
