Not sure what you're seeing that I don't... but that tree fell exactly where I thought it wanted to, only oddity was the roll it did. But the roll didn't have much effect on where it went (if any).Ok cheers guys...it does look cool though. Still not sure how he bought it back away from its natural Lean?
When you line it up with the trees in the background it certainly is leaning not the way it fell.
I can't see your video but you cannot judge a lean off a video. It can be hard when you are there. If it was that easy then I'd take a few pictures at the end of the day and mark all the big ones (pusher trees) on my I-pad as to what way they are going at night. I wouldn't have to walk to them all and plan my next gas tank. May as well way-point all my bucked probuct so I don't have to memorize that too.When you line it up with the trees in the background it certainly is leaning not the way it fell.
"Location Location Location" Well you have to have some standards. 10" sounds reasonable for small dia on flat ground. BC is 12" but it doesn't apply on the coast here or Alaska or would it be enforced on larger dia in the interior dry beltsSeems like an awfully tall stump?
We can't leave stumps taller than 10" on most timber sales.

Serious, what you see is not what you get. Its only experience that will get you there. Trees are leaning up the hill and they will still suck down the hill in most cases.
Not so much cedar, or on the coast hills so much but lots of species of tree's will got to the 'east' but they appear to me often they are west so I go with the rule and not what it looks like. If you look up a hill at what appears to be a heavy leaner when you line it up with all the straight trees then when you are up there, stand directly above it were you should be and it may be in reality leaning the other way hard. Another trick is to look at how the stump/roots grow. May just be because its bucking wind in that direction all its life? I can figure it out by location easy enough. If you can't know for sure then you use your tells and play the odds.
