Today I cut down a very dead tree in Amsterdam together with my friend Fleur. He was standing next to a schoolyard and posed a danger to the children.
First we properly cordoned off the work area with red-white marking tape.
I first climbed to the top of the healthy tree next to the very dead tree. That's where I tied my anchor. The anchor consists of a pulley through which my climbing rope is guided.
I lowered myself from my anchor and climbed halfway up the dead tree.
I could break off the thinner branches by hand. I sawed off the thicker branches and trunk.
We removed everything in our trailer. We blew the schoolyard clean with the leaf blower.
Below are the photos of this challenging and not harmless job:
