    Please clarify that you use "theory" in the "totally in your head" sense (5th definition), not the "scientifically accepted, evidence-supported sense" (1st definition). Definition of theory 1 : a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain...

    Sometimes telling the truth sounds like bragging. So, nowhere to run.

    Stig, when you logged in Switzerland, was it steep ground? What kinda trees where you cutting? Smaller pulp, at high altitude? Saw logs? Some of both? If you were on steep, slippery ground, felling downhill, would you still do the horizontal-cut AFTER the Sloping-cut? I can't imagine...

    Is this about the Steep swiss logging gobbledy-gook, about sloping or horizontal first? Lumberjack Correspondence course thread?

    I can't 'read' your stump picture. Seems like a thicker hinge could just as easily have caught more moist fibers, and swung it more, unseen until the end. Yes? No? Last I checked, thick hinges and hard pulls are not the answer to everything.

    More than once, I've seen a stub in my hinge. Close inspection of bark characteristics, or shaving bark sometimes reveals more, but often, it's only once it's down that they're seen. Even if you know your facecut is clean, having a look inside, sometimes reveals an important detail. Ahh...

    FACIAS??? Freeing from that HEIL position is dicey, particularly if double-cutting.

    You lean into the direction you're running exposing your back to rain more than the front. You push air as you run, so that is a variable. Running creates much higher splashes, but less foot-falls. How fast do you have to run to outrun sidesplash from one foot to the to other? How slow do you...

    NO! We may have all perceived what we thought was more rain, possibly. For every drop you hit at 70 mph (sound is more intense), don't you outrun a raindrop at 70 mph? X, y, and z components of projectiles (falling rain is a physics projectile) traveling are independent. Most people do not...

    Learn and experience the tried and true fundamentals that have put wood on the ground reliably before any trick shots, IMO. Keep trigonometry out of it, too. Most tree-felling can be accomplished with 1-2-3 cuts, wedge/jack or pull-rope, if gravity doesn't suffice.

    Both. Old news. Even big trees are commonplace out here. I did a leisurely 42"x 160' grand-fir, solo climbing and ground work, three easy partial days while my kid was at summer camp so I had about 5 hours per day to unload, work, reload and leave for pick-up. Chipped, ground, mulch spread...
