Looks like a total cleat cut except for what they left. Totally killing a tree is the worst possible thing.

I maybe didn't connect the dots between David's mention of concern about overhead hazards falling, presumably when the tree starts moving, and my point. I'm not at all talking about a lowering line, to be clear. :) Just a support line for scenarios where there may be/are loose hazard...

Something that I don't hear about is a hold- back line, only a pull line, possibly except when folding trees. If a person wants a leaner to stay put, they can use the reverse of a pull line. Attach the rope to a portawrap at one end of the rope (adjust your rope attachment to the tree...

Looks like working with the lean. A small shelf/ ledge to stand on, could be built with 2-by and a scrap of plywood in a few minutes. Doesn't matter if it gets hit by the falling trunk. Build a second one in 5 minutes. Bore through for the back of a full-gap facecut, then cut your...

That's where a springboard is handy, being 3' taller than you naturally are. Not only for using over huge drops down mountainsides OG Gerry-style. Willie @sotc just picked up the steel toe/ shoe part of the springboard from West Coast Saws...

Shaving off bark, and looking at the wood of the Co- dom can be informative.
