O.k.... We're starting to talk about forestry methods, I guess, which are definitely beyond my ken.
But I must say... I really don't see how getting the tree to rest behind this stump and not that (the one downhill of the one you felled) one is really going to make any difference...
Nick: Sorry... Don't get your illustration.
Mick: The no hangup thing I get... What I DON'T get is the erosion control business; because, you know: just falling the trees sidehill normally, would accomplish that just as well eh?
Plus, the no hang-up business just strikes me as adding one...
I think that what they're up to is a slightly over-complicated butt-slip stump for the purpose of saving out timber that has to be felled over really bad ground. Cutters out here utilize but-slip techniques, but shy away from them for obvious reasons.
