    Some species of palm trees have that fibrous fuzz all over them Best fire starter you can ever use. An extremely low ignition point and as combustible as gasoline.
    Just the heat created from a dull chain cutting through the tree could be enough to ignite it.
    If it had been me up there you would have seen a chain saw go flying then I would have set a speed record descending the tree probably so fast my climbing rope would have only made contact 2 or 3 times. I hope the guy in the video got down ok.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
