Great video fair play for the effort put into the video I'll be back for more

I am unsure what you mean - can you please rephrase?

Nice video. I'm interested in work plan prioritizing in a storm restoration or right of way reclamation. Hypothetically if you were just hired as a right of way manager and the previous administration let it get out of control. What would be the best strategy for reclaiming your right of way system wide?

There's absolutely no way to properly prune a tree with a saw hanging from a helicopter. That's just putting profits over responsible vegetation management. Period.
