Stuff is going to fall on you. Hard hat, goggles, sturdy shoes, leather jacket, cool weather.

I have one of those hard hats designed for use with a chainsaw that has the mesh face shield. I use it any time I am using a chainsaw or trimming tree branches overhead. I still wear safety glasses under the shield since sawdust can get through the mesh.

One thing I don't think I've seen mentioned in this thread is simply renting a gas powered pole saw when needed. I expect most of us don't need to trim up trees more than about once a year.

Good point. Or one saw per extended family or among neighbors.
