Get a nice pair of medium loppers. Aside from being damn handy for all matter of garden shenanigans they're great for handling spiky stuff at arms length when picking it up.
Lay a couple of long slings or lengths of cord out and lay all your longer brash perpendicular to them. Then use the slings/cord to tie handy bundles you can drag or carry with ease.And yeah, pull saws are the bizzle. Silky Gomtaro 300mm or gtfo >>

Started doing a bit of pruning the other night as our side return was becoming impassable. Predictably it ended up with my up a ladder two hours later swearing at a tree.
Then, once it was all said and done, I couldn't remove the cuttings because they were covered in thorns.
With the realisation that I'm not even remotely tooled-up for this stuff, I ordered some gardening gloves and a foldable saw to tackle the chunky stuff. Foldable saws are probably one of the greatest inventions ever. You can literally cut trees down with them.
