Go buy one of those camper's chainsaws. Looks like a chainsaw chain curled up
in a little tin the size of a snuffbox. Get it at one of those outdoors
stores. Should cost less than ten bucks. Put a long rope on each end. You
and a buddy go out and throw a line over the limb. Each of you stand well
clear on each side of the limb and pull the lines back and forth. It takes a
while, but there is no limb too big. My wife and I trimmed some big limbs way
up in an oak tree. Way too high to reach with a pole.
Remember, this is no teensy rope saw cable thing. It looks like a chainsaw
chain.
