Hi all. I have a question for you all. I'm not really sure what it's called, but I was wondering how you rigged a line to make sure a tree can't fall a certain direction. I understand having a line set to PULL a tree a certain direction, but how do you set one not to pull, but basically insure that it can't go a certain direction? I am having a hard time figuring out how tight the "guy line" for lack of a better term, should be. I don't want to put too much stress on the tree I'm anchored to. I also understand that when the tree falls, the distance from the anchor tree will change and either gain slack or tighten. I could see this making the tree being felled kind of "arch" a little towards the anchor tree. Any one have a good video dealing with this? I've got a clearing that I'd like to drop an ash that has pine trees on one side and a couple apple trees on the other. The tree is pretty evenly loaded with no discernible lean. I think a good notch with a pull line to an anchor tree will put it where I want it, but I'd like to limit the distance it can fall towards the apple trees. I have about 40 feet of open space to land it.
Thanks in advance, I appreciate it!
