Hard to run while dragging a boat anchor. Makes it feel like you ran 100ft, but only made it 10.

I didn’t get the power line set in the pic but they are newer lines and coated. But the old lines were bare conductors and set a tree on fire a few years back in an ice storm.

The power lines were bare/uncoated?

Just died last year

You need some green vegetables young man 😉.

Looks like one of those wavy man figures they put out to catch your eye for advertising.

A little on the bark side

Just some wildlife strutting around. Sandhill cranes

Do you think there are any roots left?

The trick to nice thick potato soup? Patience, and an extra tater or two!

It's also not clearly evident why he was felling uphill which brings in another element of risk in the falling operation.

Seemed like he was having trouble going uphill over limbs carrying the saw. I think a smidge more cleanup and leave the saw.

Possibly the last round of stormy weather til fall, so I'm making tater bacon soup, before it's too hot for soup.

I've said this before...put you head in a lion's mouth enough times, your turn will eventually roll around, odds are. You have to behave on every single fell/top/buck like this is that time. That way you have a bit of a chance that the mitigations you took help you survive the unlucky universe.

Gotta maintain the balance between safety and messing around too much…

Here’s a couple of pics from Google street view from a while back, the first to show it’s height, the second to show it was only 8’-10’ from the primary (before being blown over). I’m surprised the power company hadn’t already cut it, as they have a 15’ ROW easement, though they often bend that...

Dangerous business.
