haha, yeah pretty much. This guy had this scissor lift kinda thing but for cutting down trees. It was tracked and could reach 75ft and fit through spaces as small as 38". Its the only one in the US and cost ~$150,000.

He didn't use it though. lol

i want one.

hahhaa

Nice series Tyler - that was one massive tree and if she fell the wrong way it looks like the next series would have been house under repair for sure. I like the second one as it show the scale of that big stick!

Looks like you have a nice place there in a secluded area. I had a acquaintance fall about 18 feet trimming some trees once with a chainsaw ... scary indeed (He was more less ok - few broken ribs and the chainsaw fell no where near him).

I just realized I had the EV comp set +0.5 the whole time. Woops. haha. Came out okay though
