…always been impressed with fire fallers that can deal with them, or @gf beranek and the big hollow goose pen redwoods. (Yes, I’m in the middle of High Climbers and Timber Fallers😆)
It’s a screenshot of a vid. I don’t think I can link fb vids.
Mohawk tree was a heavy head leaner. Basically the same as a bc faller leaner vid I saw the other day, except he low plunged the holding strap (mohawk).
This is the one that weirds me out. Screenshots from a vid.
Hard lean away from the camera “80%”. Felled from right to left with a push tree.
It worked.
Not unusual here. Bit of lean to the far side, a Dutchman there, but no sizzy on the close side…but I don’t think it had enough lean to warrant a sizzy. I think I would have just done a tapered hinge.
Reminds me of a “kickstand” you are supposed to leave on a pushed tree while you’re felling the push tree. Basically it’s holding until it’s overloaded and the grain separates vertically.
The most confusing one was one that was leaned into another tree and he knocked it out with a push tree. I couldn’t see the whole setup of things, but it didn’t look like it would work…but it did.
