…always been impressed with fire fallers that can deal with them, or @gf beranek and the big hollow goose pen redwoods. (Yes, I’m in the middle of High Climbers and Timber Fallers😆)

Reg has some vids of blowing up rotten snags IIRC.

Pretty cool drone footage

It also occurred to me that cutting closer to the root ball would result in a heck of a lot less swing/travel at the cut.

Started rooting around on YT. Good way to get a bar in your face. 2:50

Nah, it was little, and he had that Dutch in from the side before he hit the back.

It’s a screenshot of a vid. I don’t think I can link fb vids. Mohawk tree was a heavy head leaner. Basically the same as a bc faller leaner vid I saw the other day, except he low plunged the holding strap (mohawk).

The mohawk down the middle of the back cut is the release cut, bored in from the back.

Left is face, called scarf I think. Back corner I think is a “box cut”?

This is the one that weirds me out. Screenshots from a vid. Hard lean away from the camera “80%”. Felled from right to left with a push tree. It worked.

Not unusual here. Bit of lean to the far side, a Dutchman there, but no sizzy on the close side…but I don’t think it had enough lean to warrant a sizzy. I think I would have just done a tapered hinge.

Exploring more…I think the low back cut is supposed to make the tree fall slower.

Reminds me of a “kickstand” you are supposed to leave on a pushed tree while you’re felling the push tree. Basically it’s holding until it’s overloaded and the grain separates vertically.

The stepped bucking cut was cutting a log from an uprooted root ball or rather plate. Stump to the right.

They seem awful big on training and safety.

Better stump pic

The most confusing one was one that was leaned into another tree and he knocked it out with a push tree. I couldn’t see the whole setup of things, but it didn’t look like it would work…but it did.
