That is just stupid expensive. And if they were cheaper it would still be stupid.
but a small saw or a slingshot on top of a long stick....
In re-thinking this I realize that you could just bring two multi tools (one with a saw) and a couple hose clamps. Then find yourself a branch.You need two MTs, one to mount on the branch (with appropriate tool opened) and one to screw down the hose clamps. Since everyone has at least two MT's all you really need is a two pack of hose clamps. To have more choices in branch thickness you just need a variety of clamps.I'm not over thinking this am I?
