too much hassle on small tree lol

@sitdox You're right, an awful lot of hassle and a complete pain in the neck! We had to get these trees down as they were leaning over the neighbour's yard, and the prevailing wind would eventually knock them over and damage his property, especially if they got any bigger... Now they're down, we can cut the regrowth every few years without any messing around with ropes.

@sitdox Ah, hello! No worries :-) It was a lot of hassle though, you're right. Still, first time I've tried using this winch on a tree, so I was a bit wary... See you around in the woods soon...

Hey, just watched your videos - are some of them in Grist Wood? I like the "sudden death of the oak tree"!

@mikepepler nope the that one is at Bixley lane at the Bixley woods

@sitdox Well, still a funny video anyway! :-)
