If it was questionable once cut, the climber could have put control lines on it, to keep it on top of the stump, rather than do or die (from my non-CO trained arm chair). My first crane work was tornado work. I said two picks, CO said one. I cut it 1' off the ground. He kept it off the ground...

In what way froze-up? Not cabled-down in a hella hurry?

You can always add MA. Add a 2:1 on a 2:1 and you can get 4:1 with only (2) single-sheave blocks. If everybody used a load cell routinely when they did things, it would really inform what we did much more quantitatively. Suppose something is too much for two guys pulling, maybe 350-400 pounds...

Ya, looks like an empty bed (surrounded by wood for weight) 2wd, attached at the wrong end, IMO.

The passenger side rear tire was spinning around 1:10.

I thought I heard the truck tired spin. Then they cut it up some more. I figured they cut up the hinge too far, to the point of failure, rather than more wedging and/or getting additional pulling power, double-teaming with another vehicle, out seeing another rope and pulling.

Watching again, they were rigging it out to small of a gin pole. Should have anchored on the heavy front end of the truck, not the light rear, which comes light when pulling. A better view, too.

Stretch stores energy and isn't necessarily bad. They maxed out their pull. I think a stretching line allow the truck to max pull more than a static line, and it keeps pulling more force, longer as the tree falls to forward the pull. A cable will go slack much faster.

that's decision making/ critical thinking in action. Contrast it to, "I want it to do this, so if I do what I am limited to doing, it should be okay, and do what I want it to do".

People are not often actively taught good decision making/ critical thinking skills, it seems, nor feel the results of their actions in such a direct way.

Two decent saws for HOs, but no wedges. People get bit in the ass so much by perpendicular cuts when there are binds. Cut a trapazoidal cylinder instead of a typical cylinder, and the log will roll out waaay easier. That log wasn't going to the mill. No need for square cuts.

Subcontracted hauler, my guess.

Don't stand under the stump. People have been crushed beneath a self-righting stump/spar.
