hehehehe.... got him good on that one.

JohnD, you're right about bigger risks should equal a bigger payoff.
Unfortunately, non-profit organizations don't always see it that way. The trunk was "solid" up to about where I am at in the pic, then it was a bit unstable. DBH was about 28"

I have to agree with NG on at least one point, the whole "no cutting above your head" part. Sometime's it's not feasible to follow that, even though it's a good idea to follow as much as possible, especially if you're new to it.
And we shouldn't even start a poll on who has one-handed a saw at some point or another.

It's like what they said in Pirates of the Carribean:
Think of them as guidelines, not rules.
