Tree felling vids

[Altissimus]

All hardwood sawlogs bored,here , if possibly Veneer Grade will cut to spec length (little longer 1.5ft.). Firewood Trees get conventional cuts usually

Buddy and mentor of mine up north of @CurSedVoyce

Pucker!!

 

[Burnham]

That worked out well.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Almost did not.
Also, look at the butt log he had on the one side of the bridging logs. Big ol dutchy.
Never been impressed much with that group.

I saw the dutchy, who knows maybe it was done on purpose as is sometimes the case

I was expecting that stub to hammer its way into the asphalt.

 

[davidwyby]

They are just over the hill from me…I doubt they know what a Dutchman is…

My luck, tree would have parted the logs at the corner and smashed the valve.

 

[Mick!]

Worked well anyway.

Something I’d like to learn and master is how to make trees jump/sail. I think a smaller part is how it’s cut and larger part height and weight.

 

[SeanKroll]

And speed and timing of release

 

[davidwyby]

Seems like a somewhat closed face that snaps the hinge might help

To me seeing that I think rank amateurs. Some might see it as skill and some might see it as luck. But why take the chance, here again I get paid to not damage shit. That’s why I get paid what I do, to not take stupid chances for a money shot. Would I have flopped that tree? Maybe. But I have my doubts.

I don’t know enough about roping and rigging to say for sure but I think they’re better at that than falling. And sharpening. 😬 I’ve thought about asking them if they wanna work together sometime or something. Their culture is, “close enough is good enough”, and, “if it worked it worked”.

…if it didn’t, 💩 happens mysteriously…

Do it, one hundo.

That's one of the beauties of the 'net, connectivity with folks you'd never ever meet otherwise.
