A calculated risk i guess. This was up in the mountains. No access for towers or cranes or any thing. Nothing would have reached it from the street. Tree was 170 foot and in back yard. Need a four wheel drive to get to their house. My ute couldnt even make it all the way up the hill. We left every thing cut up onsite. Lucky coz our truck n chipper wouldnt get near this place. Minimal rigging was done to not overload things. Most branches were just dropped and all wood felled in sections.
A bit sketchy...yes. Scary when you cut it up and see it was that bad.
