Glad it went well for you Gary.8)

Speaking of a proper spear cut Gary. Can you just dump this punky bitch back in the woods, if it hangs up no big deal unhang it, hell it might make it to the ground. Certainly much less exposure for you.

It's much more exposed than that Frans. :\:

Something to remember when "guying" a tree, is you have to treat it as if you are setting up a tower, hence oscillation needs to be prevented which means guys are spaced around the circumference of the tower. supporting one side does not prevent failure in the opposite direction.

A properly executed spear cut involves an undercut that is as close to perpendicular to the ground as possible, the top cut matches exactly with the under cut. A Sharp, fast saw helps facilitate the dynamics of the cut. It's a needed technique for unhanging trees.

Gary another option is to set your pull line from the ground, climb up and face it, cut up the back (not too much) rap down and yard the top out with MA. I've done this many times with great success.
