Just how hard is it to cut a tree down? Well first you wait for the crane to bring the hook.

Which you have to catch then

fix it round the trunk. Swing too little chain round the trunk and you can't catch it. Too much and it bashes the back of your head.

Having fixed the chain to the trunk a little climb down to use the heavy, dangerous chain saw which has lots of sharp bits moving very fast. Climbing down involves removing one safety harness to get past the branch stub, swinging that round the tree below the stub and fasening it again. Then remove other safety harness, swing that round the tree and so on, three times.

All this is done while your mates look on and give you marks out of ten.
