The picking up and hanging adds up!

I used this yesterday while having to guide each round down from a hard leaning alder. Parking my saw meant less weight/ work.

I didn't know how much this hard leaning alder might want to spar- split, like freakishly Can happen. I cut a lot of tree that crack and pop, audibly, visially, and physically perceptible through spurs and lanyard. I did what, in hindsight was not necessary, like arriving home having worn but...

How does thc affect you? Some ND folks find it brain-calming without intoxication.

Clearance for the road. Structural pruning for bad structure, if present, e.g. a badly included fork may warrant some gentle reduction. You're not looking at freak ice- loading, right?

Square-cut with rollers or sliders works. Slants, too, infrequently.

I'll try to make a video soon. We'll walk you through posting pics.

Rollers, wedges, slider plates, avoiding 'single rounding' them down

That's overcomplicating it. Reg had a block driver for very large rounds. Idk that it made it to production.

Ropewalking up a vertical pole with a flipline is easy, with practice. Toes touch the trunk. Might help build the motion. Backwards bicycle motion. Shorter steps to start. I ropewalked 2-3 days ago was was taking more than 12" strides.

I cut a Petzl handled ascender down about 15 years ago. Been using it since. Tried commercially made floating ascenders. Not any better/ better enough for me to spend 150 bucks. Set up right, I float up a rope if rec climbing. Carrying an extra 20-30 pounds of gear, it smooth, but floating...

Momentum/ speed helps poor hinges. Pull hard and fast enough and the tree goes where you pull it. We weakened and ripped down a horrible maple against the lean with a small skidder's skookum winch. No hinge. Too rotten.

Hinges fail.

@davidwyby Super tight parking on a small island with 42 houses jammed in. The little trailer (5k axle) was good for chipping into, from both parcels without unhooking the chipper, hitching the trailer, moving the trailer, unhooking reconnecting to the chipper blah blah. Crash pad for...
