    Willard was fine, except when he wasn't. Then he was a total ass.

    I had the exact same thought, Cory :).

    I have no formal formula. And zero experience with euc of any stripe :). I like to keep a good 20 to 25 percent of the width of the hinge on each end...so that leaves 50 to 60 percent to gut out. But I've gone with less left on the ends...and I don't think very much more. When I've used...

    Here too. It's a valid exercise in youngish regen stands that are snag deficit for wildlife habitat.

    I want to see him fell the broken hung topped one in the background. :D

    I never carried a plumb bob, but I have used my clinometer, hanging from it's lanyard. More often I used my faller's axe...hold the axe at the end of the handle, pinched between thumb and first finger. If you hold it at the correct spot so the head is centered weight-wise, the straight handle...

    Full wrap handle...should have done the whole job from the other side. Pics never tell the whole story...but I'd not choose to put myself in a tight bind of a place to cut from, given what looks like a wide open spot on the opposite side.

    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.

    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...
