I'm 71 and don't move as fast as I used to. I've got this tree I want to drop, a nice dried out gum tree about 36" in diameter, however the top branches are dried out and still up in the surrounding trees canopies. I figure if is start trying to wedge the bugger over, I may break off one of those big dried out branches and get myself plastered into the soil.
The tree is in a remote spot, so I was thinking about cutting a good size scarf and then do a back-cut - then leave the bugger for the next wind storm to do the rest of the work for me. If it takes a year to finally come down, I'm not bothered, I've got other things to do.
What do you guys think about this plan?
