All the wind and water in SC has been hard on old trees. Particularly ones that are dead in the middle. Here’s a pic of me 15′ up running a chainsaw dismantling one. Takes time and is dangerous. The tree doesn’t appreciate big limbs being removed, but it has to be cleaned up. The key is figuring out which part/support to remove when.
A metaphor.

I love mid-air dismantling!!! I did one during sukkot on one of our wood gathering days!! I was about 10′ up walking a 6″ limb!! Trying to keep balance and cut the other limbs!! I decided that I should probably get off it when the tree started to twist!!! Dangerous job for sure, but one of my favorites!!

Just don’t get “lysdexic” and cut the wrong side of the limb that is supporting you!!!

Lol. Decided for this one to make some cuts n chain a tractor to the support leg to lay it down. Use its weight against it… Kinda like turning hermeneutic rules against false doctrines. Obvious clear Scripture must interpret obscure and/or unclear verses…. And the Sunday myth collapses under its own weight.

yes, be careful. that’s a much bigger tree than i would ever tackle with my little 16 inch Stihl. plus the twisting and falling will be so unpredictable.
