Partial uprooting is a thing west coast logging from what I’ve seen.

Heavy tree, heavy lean, stringy wood.

I think it would be better to bore and trigger those, but that would be a chore due to size.

Any of youse ever use a plumb bob like them fallers out west? I keep meaning to try it.

I never carried a plumb bob, but I have used my clinometer, hanging from it's lanyard.

More often I used my faller's axe...hold the axe at the end of the handle, pinched between thumb and first finger. If you hold it at the correct spot so the head is centered weight-wise, the straight handle (rafting axe style) hangs perfectly plumb.

I have and still do in big timber. The rest of the time an axe is plumb adequate.

Ash surprise.
Had an oak do that once, right next to a house. On a hill above it. We had the butt tied in case. Good this, as what was left of the roots would have been happy to roll the whole bloody mess down the hill to the side of the structure.
Light on my feet that day.

We’ve had this one before Steve.
Apart from it being pointlessly big, the most obvious error is the groundy in line with piece.
He could just as easily be off to the side and walking normally today.

Bet he'll rethink his ground next time...

Why? Dear gods, Why? I expect no answer, and deserve none, but I am yet compelled to ask, O, ancient ones, Why?

It's always a simple, foreseeable thing, that's what brings all these videos together, what unifies them in stupidity.

No way he could have foreseen that.
None what so ever.

Lawdy!!!

Matching shirts. Landscapers?

I'm really impressed he didn't even lose his cigarette!
