Sometimes it's best not to do it yourself.
Someone once told of removing a tree limb to save money, rather than calling a tree guy. He fell and broke his hip, which sucked enough in and of itself, but also ended up costing $40,000. I can see myself falling into the DIY trap, but some things call for professionals.

I'm fascinated by stories like this, b/c the only thing I attempt to DIY is my (extremely simple) hairstyle. But I had a friend that fell out of tree while trying to DIY prune. He broke his back and several other bones and was in a brace for many months. He now has a pruning service.
My rule of thumb is never to attempt to DIY anything that requires special training.
