This is absolutely true :). I also see you decided to edit in the words "just enough" to your "serious pull" statement in your post earlier :D. I also sometimes need to clarify with an edit, what I've posted.

I really am curious about your barberchair comment, @Jomo.

None of which addresses my question, or comment on your technique and expectations that your pull directed your fall to the lay. No worries. We can do things as we have learned work for us, and they can be different.

So you gave it a serious pull to avoid a barberchair? How does that work? And I submit to you that, especially a tree of that size, if the lean had "overpowered" the hinge wood (by which I guess you mean caused the hinge to tear out early rather than function as planned), then a pull line...

I think it fell to the lay as directed by your hinge, which was faced at the pulley. And that's a prudent location for you to have placed the redirect pulley. But if you'd set that pull off to an angle from the direction dictated by the hinge, the tree still would have gone to that same lay...

You know of course that was not a "guide line". That was a "guide hinge" with a pull line to the lay :). Where it ended up was not due to the rope.

That's a biggie. Any significant lean to deal with?
