That didn't go well for the poor saw.

That last one was going to be a nasty thing no matter what method you went at it with. I think I might have been inclined to have a go at the leaner on the right rather than the supporting tree. But that's just looking at a pic/vid. No way to know without actually being there.

Gorgeous, Stephen!

Watching it again, it looks like he put the saw down right where the tree butt ended up, just out of view to the right. That probably was not good for it :).

That larch felling is strange...I'm not sure how you could sever a tree of that size like that and not have your saw get bound. Maybe with enough reaming...but that supposes a skill it seems unlikely for that person to have. And what made the tree just stand there on the stump rather than...

Sometimes that just the way of it...you see something or another that indicates that the hinge may not function 100%. You make accommodations for that in your hinge or your gun. And then the damn tree goes like the hinge wood was perfect. Or that there was no lean. It can make you crazy...

The only out the faller might have is if there was a site supervisor who runs the show who doesn't know what they are doing but has the authority to order who does what and when. I have seen this happen on fireline work, in one example that comes to mind. In a case like this, the faller...

I'd agree.

That was idiocy, plain and simple. Wedges, or an anchored ma system, or a pull machine of some variety...any one of these would have made it an easy fell.

Just my generally useless .02 :)...those decorative cedar fences are easy to take apart and put back up. Would it have been possible to pull that tree onto the lawn if the fence was out of the way?

Amazing.

Jeezuz.

Ballsy.

That's the way it was.

I can't tell at all what the cuts look like...which is too bad. Greatly reduces the ridicule we can bring to bear :).

That's the way of it.

Then you just haven't seen all US fallers at work, that's all :). I almost never used it when felling on the ground, but usually did when taking biggish tops. I did make a habit of using it when felling root sprung trees, as an example.

That's a weird video...slow motion just as the barberchair started? I wonder why. And to stay at the stump after the split started is also strange behavior. Mighty shallow face. I'd have liked a shot of the top...must have had either a good amount of head lean, or a ton of limb weight on...
