Finished up a Euc prune today, started it a week back... Got ALL the way out there and forgot my helmet but my dad had his. So I kept away from the chipper and carefully removed two of the last lower branches with my handsaw... When doing my collar cut the width must of been an easy 6 inches! And that wasn't around either...
Man I'm glad that I finished up the leader collar with a chainsaw the day I started it.
Only crappy thing was, the AZNs next door were fascinated I was in the tree = photo's galore...
