The "bad" tree can be felled, but it's gonna go into the maple, and probably get hung up. I'd then have to walk it down cutting a bit at a time, and I don't really like doing that. An option I didn't previously think of was felling it into the maple, then setting a line above it to work it down...

Will do! It's gonna be awhile before anything happens. The wood I walked over for to see if they wanted me to do the work is still there. The way my boss explained it, they wanted the downed wood removed that was pushed up against the woodsline by some numpty. They wanted *much* more done than...

I'm just lazy :^P Seriously, I'm pretty lazy. Work time's work, but I don't go looking for it, and optional work doesn't usually get done unless it's fun.

Maybe, but you're doing it, and you do it well. Not bad for an old frig in a young man's game ;^)

That's pretty cool. I'll have to take a good look at the setup. That might be particularly viable on the "bad" tree.

What do you mean by "fold it"?

That's an interesting idea. So 'no touch' on the target tree? I'll have to take a look, and see if something like that can be setup. That's definitely "out of my lane" as Sean puts it, but it's something I can practice elsewhere as proof of concept.

A healthy tree? Yea, I'd do that. It would be out of my comfort zone for height, but everything's out of the comfort zone til you do it. You can count on a healthy tree to behave properly, so you just have to make sure you do your job right.

That was kinda the question. The good tree has a close tie in but very high, the other not so much. If I cut free of the bad tree, it would mean a big swing. There's also the option of multiple tie ins, but I don't think I like that. Too much stuff strung around for wood to hit, and it could...

Per the title. It's still gonna be awhile, but I've started looking at the standing dead white pines on my office job. The two that are especially concerning are >100'. One has a reasonable tie in fairly close, though very high to get a line set. The other tree has a tie in fairly distant and...
