When I read this part I thought it meant use a wedge in a side cut to prevent the tree pinching on the compression side of the sides:
Not using a wedge in the back cut but on a side...does that make sense? Hep me...my interjected compression (by pulling the top) could have led to the tree...
This is post #76 from the first thread Burnham referenced...info below posted by Jerry Beranek. I had missed the part about using wedges (if needed) before:
I probably could/should have used a wedge in my video Coos Bay. I had injected some side lean/compression by pulling the top sideways...
Here's the first time I tried it that really mattered. I got instructed ex posto facto that I was too tentative in the back cut...if I had been more aggressive and "chased" the back cut I think it would not have stalled on me.
