Hello all you people who love to climb and cut things down.
When chunking down a tree than cannot be felled whole, and with a decent size drop-zone, how much wood should be taken off at a time? I used to take a lot, now I take less. I used to use a wedge on the face cut, now I do a straight undercut and back cut. I work alone and generally have no grounds people or rope pullers. I use either a 192T, 026 or 036 in the tree depending on diameter and type of wood. Comments?
