Welcome and nice project you have there.

Also thanks for posting that video, brings back many memories as I was a Climber/Cutter back in the day down here in CA. I did many removals of ENORMOUS redwood and sequoia trees on the northern coast and bay area. Worked on many HUGE oak trees too in the central valley many of which were more than 500-700 years old. It was a great job but short lived. I still have all my gear and even have an old MAC 101 that was used by a logger back in the early 60's that had a 72" chain bar on it at one time. That thing weighs in at about 40 lbs and I could never dream of hauling that up a tree, but the old timers did!

Good luck on the project!
