Funny you should mention that.
I've seen a bloke going round with a motor-cycle with a little box trailer hitched to the back. and a couple of old (like really old)saws bungee strapped on the top of his old knackered ladders. Seen him working away and was hanging from a piece of nylon rope around his waist whilst sawing off a rotten limb. I thought he was in distress and being equipped for aerial rescue, stopped to offer my services. And I quote, "Do you think I need a longer set of ladders?" Assistance offered was to get him down safely (only 10 foot) with his (cough! cough!) ladders and to give him some sound advice. All he does is collect fire wood for his little stove. Give him his due, he says he only takes off the dead stuff and his cuts are OK too, Just his apparatus is a little bit concerning....
