Ultimately you can thank Mike Davis for that. I just passed it on.

Very wise.

Association I guess. The coos bay was described to me some 30 years ago by a fellow named Mike Davis. A somewhat unconventional method for releasing heavy leaners to their favor. And it works pretty good. But still one has to mind their p's and Q's when using it

Looks like an excellent place to work.

Good deal. It's behind you now. I'd like to have been there to watch that one.

Yeah!

It's a dicey situation anyway you go about it with trees like that. And yes those pics are snap-shots I took during my hikes in the parks. But I've seen many same examples in the second growth.

Here is a small assortment of pics showing some trees that were being held from falling simply by a holding back strap. The trees that were cut posed some risk to passers by and the highway. The one that broke by itself left the strap standing in the air. Although it could have been cut...

With the stump condition you have it throws a proverbial wrench into the works. As far as the coos bay goes. However you do it now is all situation dependent. I still think cutting that back strap is the key to getting the tree down as easily and safely as possible. If the tree doesn't go...

If there is any side favor you got to cut that side first and stick a wedge in it.

shoot a video please.

Opening the side cuts is a good idea. It could buy a couple extra seconds to trip the tree. Using the coos bay to trip a head leaner is not much unlike trying to swing a side leaner and losing it to its favor. The aspect of the holding wood is almost always the same. Only difference is...

Yeah the Coos Bay works wonders, but there are a few things about it and the trees you use the cut on that you should always remember. Number one, the Coos Bay is a release cut only. There is no directional control with it. Two, a well balanced head lean is what you want. If the tree has...
