I was cause some crap on the other thread,
Regardless of what I know I was questioned on some things that blew me away. Under cutting limbs is not dangerous if done right, and is the only way to keep a tree (SOMETIMES) from rolling,
I really think that some people on here don't think about some things and weigh them out. The under cuts are an excellent thing and are only cut an inch or two in a 20 inch limb, and they ARE NOT DONE OR DONE MORE SHALLOW ON A WILLOW OR POPLAR BECAUSE OF THE HIGH CHANCE OF INSTANT SNAP. But what do I know.
Speaking of wood, it still amazes me how my father nows how every type of wood will react, this I see alot in cut and leave jobs that have to be climbed but are not needing of much or any roping. Just bombing. I watch him taking the side off a tree and there is lots of wood and brush. He cuts piece after peice and every one land flat for less grass damadge.
He gets the rotation right to where they will flip end for end in mid air but still land flat. Any questions?
