@0.16 box blew up, but then you see the guy holding a completely undamaged box.

Not the best and you need a thicker hinge, load up the jack cut a little, load up the jack cut a little, kind of affair. I just went with oak because that tree looks like the big oaks around here.

I can still feel the pain learning how NOT to start the 090 and that was 20 years ago.

Yeah, with that single point of view, and from that angle and distance, very hard for me to say before further evidence presented itself :).

It’s hard to say not being there. At first glance it looked like it had head lean with the limbs closer to the road, but you only have one angle view point. The trunk could have had more back lean than shown. Obviously enough to break that pull line before the COG came ahead to the lay.

I heard an NPR report just this morning from some AI image creation specialists that said it can be very difficult to tell now. I dunno, grain of salt...but I am clueless. How did you "just know"?

In another thread elsewhere on the site I lamented my increasing difficulty at times starting my 064. Due mostly to arthritic hands and decreased hand strength coupled with the lack of compression release on an 85cc saw. I have my bad days and my better days. The kickback can hurt, besides...

In this case I saw these vids on twitter and Grok confirmed it. But generally you just know.

How can you tell, @Mick! The tech is getting so good these days...and I'll readily admit to not being suspicious enough.

Good stuff!

AI should be required to have a disclaimer. Or banned. Or I should brush bandit my phone...

To be clear, how do you all read the weight distribution of That tree? Not How does one read the weight distributing of A tree?

I mentioned something you may or may not have read...basket-ing the rope through a crotch and portawrapping both legs, together, way more than doubles the strength of a single-leg line with a knotted termination. A tensionless hitch is better than a R-Bowline, but requires up-close setting, not...

I was hoping that wasn't the case

Double-bagging!! You end up with a weight in the middle of the TL, and able to control the weight from 2 sides instead of 1.

I'm no sling maker. Cable swages that I'm used to have 2 holes for the cable and a compression clamp. I watched them make an eye and eye for me, but can't remember is it was untwisted, then retwisted strands for the eye, then fit with the compression fitting. I don't have my truck here to look.

Do you think oaks take jacks ok?

Is this failed tree ID'ed as oak?

My oaks are live oaks. Very strong, hard, rigid, brittle when dead. Pretty much like everything in the desert except pine. Spiral interlocking grain. Watching other people’s regular oaks, they don’t seem like a big deal.

There was an idiot in charge Sean, the only relevant info I can remember.
