:agree2: and I think you might be a little crazy.So far, so good, Daniel. You do some scary things with trees that I would not do. Just wondering if both trees dropped exactly as planned or were you just a little off, especially on the maple that hung up in the adjacent tree?Remember Murpy's Law when you're dropping those trees . I sense danger in a few of your recent videos. Take care.
You don't lose as much on the lean that way.
I've never considered this technique, Burv, and I was wondering if you'd care to elaborate on it. The above sentence in particular. Thanks.
If you start backing up a tree first (within reason) and get a wedge in behind your bar, the tree has less time to sit back farther. When you face a tree that is leaning back, the tension released from sawing in a face allows the crucial holding or tension side wood to be comprimised. Then when the back cut is started, the crucial tension is lowered even further and the tree will begin to sit back quicker. When going in from the back, the crucial tension wood is not comprimised. Now granted, you cannot get too greedy and need to calculate the situation, but when you start the cut from the back, get a wedge in, you have lost zero degrees on the lean. You can watch a tree sit back farther when you put a face in it. There's your lost ground that you have to pound back up to be at the same spot the tree was originally at. In hard leaning tall timber it is way easier with this method- cheers
Can someone elaborate why this job was supposedly such a big risk? I can't see it falling anywhere except backwards or 90 degrees of the rope to either side.
My brother!!!
That's what I AM talking about!
See that.. finally someone who understands
What you trolling now Murphy?
