    I think he left too big a hinge cos he was worried, so the rope couldn’t do its job. A better hinge, wedges and more controlled pull, but adrenaline got the better of him and he called for ‘Mo power’ and a career defining clusterfck ensued. Lessons to be learned. Edit. I just rewatched it...

    Thou shalt not "YouTube video how to" on trees. Kaveman hath spoken, thus it is law. Really though, what in the actual F$#K? They obviously had a climber up to take off the limbs and logs on the ground, why not the rest of it? I just do not understand stupid.

    Understanding wood fiber -theory.

    I'm not good enough to line up perfectly the ends of the multiple kerfs and I know that one will prevail over the other and break too soon. I had still some success in bending brittle trees like our maple (Acer pseudoplatanus). It came initially from a german vid which received a lot of bashing...

    I think a lot of it may be cultural, from where he lives. Big eastern city style.
