The Blythlyway in Guyana

Palm tree removal. The arborist climbs up the trunk of the palm and attatches a rope to the high point. Then he nails in a board to stand on. From the board he chops the trunk with a cutlass until he thinks it might fall. Then he joins the men on the ground and they all pull in one quick motion. Not only did the top not hit any power lines or fences, nobody was injured either. It was fairly impressive.
