    Is Smoker + Gutter + Saw + personal risk more or less expensive than a tree guy?
    Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Doodie Project?

The way I wanted it to fall I wasn't sure I could make happen. I climbed down and decided to tackle that with my buddy when he gets a chance.

    Said tree :




    I then tackled another tree that I thought would be very simple. My plan was to climb half way up and then cut it in half, then cut it from the bottom and have two big pieces. I climbed up and selected my spot, the tree was leaning very bad and I decided I couldn't safely stay on the high side and cut from where I wanted too, so I climbed down a few feet and found a better spot. When it broke it was a wild ride, I anticipated it and was braced and ready but still a weird feeling riding a tree!

    The smoker will survive, but it will never be the same haha.




    I then climbed down and decided to cut the bottom half. Again under estimating the size of the tree, I bent my gutters
    Nothing bad, but I'm sure it will never be right without replacing the gutter.



    Thanks for the advice @LittleLebowski and @Mr. Goodtimes
    You know, Roosevelt had a saying about those that never have a mistake, good job on those trees! Do you like the saw?
