Somebody's talking crap here & it ain't the tree!
And a couple of videos. The first one isn't anything fancy and likely to be quite boring for some. It's basically just me walking along under the trees explaining what I planned on doing with each tree.
It also pays to note that things didn't go to plan. The bifurcated tree at 1:50 of the first video was meant to be easy. What I failed to do however with the right hand trunk was follow through with my backcut. This meant that half of the tree fell slowly, too slow, and got hung up. If I'd have hung in there and kept cutting it would have built up enough speed to push through and hit the deck. This one stuff up meant my whole felling plan had to change.
In the second video you can just see the hangup second tree from the right. You can also see the big interlaced limb from the first video snap off and swing from the tree it was stuck in.
As many of you would be able to tell I also got a bit excited with the depth guages on the chain I was using, meaning the poor Dolmar was making far harder work of it than it should have been

The noise these trees made when they fell was extremely loud. It sounded great Unless you're a greenie, then it was the sound of murder...
