Yeup, pretty much all pine trees and sycamores. We plan on buying a generator this week or the next just to have one for next time.

ps. not shooting your ideas down, i tought the same thing not to long ago, but i came across a guy coming down from a cherry picker and i asked him why they dont do that and he chuckled and told me all that stuff.
