What happens here
For felling trees, especially those with branches that need to be removed safely from height, set up an extension ladder securely against the tree trunk. Ensure a second person is holding the base of the ladder for stability. Ascend the ladder with a chainsaw and systematically cut down branches from the top down. Wear appropriate safety gear including a hard hat, ear protection, safety glasses, and chainsaw chaps.
Goal: Safely remove tree branches from the trunk
