I guess it depends on skill and confidence? Did not seem scary to me? A few more tree's like that and you will be comfortable with it. I find using a padlock for weight and trying it of a few feet above the cut putting equal pressure along the bole, also a bigger diameter rope would be much better. Birches can bend quite a bit. A Dutch cut is also another choice but you need to practice that one before actually applying it for the use of a directional cut.
Yes, somebody with experience would do this task very easily. I did a search and couldn't find "padlock for weight". Maybe you are talking about a "locking pully"? The Dutch Cut you refer to I think can be refered to as a "Swinging Dutchman" if that is the cut you are suggesting, it looks like an awesome cut to learn. I have plenty of trees for practice with at my new home so I appreciate your comment.

@@Chris-tuber no the padlock is used at the end of the rope. You can then use a stick to throw the tether line much higher with accuracy.
@@mattkrumm8141 thank you for the clarification, I think I understand now 👍
