[QUOTE="CanadianCarGuy, post: 1730979, member: 15781"] Definately safer and more economical to use this technique. However without a bit of a step between the undercut and backcut, you loose any extra safety benefits that the humbolt cut has; especially if one is cutting the tree off the stump (steering the tree, or not paying attention). Sometimes if you are falling in heavy winds and the tree gets pushed into the standing timber as it is going over, the tree can still pop off the stump backwards, sometimes quite a few feet. Also the humbolt is actually EASIER to make, especially with the steeper ground we are working in today. [/QUOTE]
