    He did not look like a survivor. Palm looks like a canariensis. may be he's in Phoenix poor bugger. He was safe from and not concerned of those killer spines of petioles . The sharp lumps left after fronds has fallen would have given him serious injury after being thumped into them. Seems we are cruel to ourselves when we destroy nature.

    They had a winch line slung over the opposite limb and hooked to the one he was cutting hoping cause it to be pulled away from what ever was below and to lower it safely to the ground. A slight miscalculation in the strength of the limb versus the build up of kinetic energy from the falling weight of the cut off limb very nearly ended in total disaster for the guy, aside from having a strong safety strap, dropping his chain saw may have been the smartest thing he had done to that point and that was involuntary I am sure

    A 15" laptop might not reveal critical details all that well.

    Possibly not as well as the 27" television I have hooked to mine as a duel monitor so I can be working on multiple tasks at the same time and see what is happening on the other screen
