Thinking out side the shed.

As a disclaimer, the choker is only snug, just enough to keep it from falling into my saw, not enough to effect the tree in anyway, until it starts to tip.

I am fully aware that if things went wrong that choker could easily kill me, hence the rapid departure from the scene. Rope may have worked better, but a choker is what I had, I however would not recommend using chain.

Bunch more ash down today at 0*F. Used the humboldt cut I saw in one of hotsaw101's videos, fair size ash closet to 24".

Try throwing a small snipe in the face or start with a Humboldt then block it'll help kick the tree off the stump as well as keep the twist out of it.

Seriously though, i think its a hold over from the axe and misery whip days, way easier to swing down than up,

Logging really took off around here in step with the development of the power saw IEL Titan and McCullach all come from the pnw, and they pretty much revolutionized the logging world. Especially when Oregon brought in the modern chains.

New technology new techniques
