| This tree was about 20 meters high or about 65 feet. To put this into perspective: the usual height of a single story in a building is 15 to 20 feet; so this tree was about 4 stories high. |
 |
| About three Stories Up: No rope, except the one tied to the crown to make sure the first cut section falls correctly.

 |
| Chop That Trunk! Holding on with one hand, still about 15 meters up. And note that's not an axe just an ordinary machete. |
 |
| A Long Way Down: Actually he's checking to see if his assistant has re-tightened the guide rope. |
 |
| Going... |
 |

 |
| Look No Hands! The next, middle section, still about 15 meters up. |
