    I just remembered that I failed to check the furnace filter this month. Otherwise we are prepared with long johns, flannels and our GHB are winterized.

    Kind of hard to hit the Tannerite in the middle of a Tree, with a Rifle Round....

    I figured just use more of it. Splintering is splitting right?

    Might as well just cut the dang tree down with the chainsaw, in the first place... We only used Powder on those trees that were Widowmakers... (To dangerious to cut) 1 1/2” Drill hole thru the trunk at about two ft above the dirt, and one caped stick of Tovex .... 200’ of Cap Wire and a 12Volt car battery... works every time...

    If the branches are heavily interlaced it might be fun to attack the problem in a completely unconventional way.
    1. support the tree you're keeping with cables and chain if necessary .
    2. cut the base of the tree you're removing by sections so that the keeper tree is supporting it .
    3. provide a tie between the two trees so the one being removed can be controlled as it descends
    4. the weight of the tree under control can be allowed to descend and you cut more off as it descends .
    5. you will have to reset the choke several times as the tree is lowered , and it will become lighter as you go .
    6. the choke is essential , to keep it for swinging around out of control .
    This is what I might do , the is not professional advise .
