Yeooowww, I just fantasized about losing my teeth. :(

A name that starts with a G or a B......it could be a number of experienced gentlemen in the treehouse.

Never thought of reaming in this situation, but your depiction sounds real good, Sean . The part about cutting higher up is an excellent point, plus the added ability to step back an instant quicker to get out of the way. I'm going to try that!

Lots of walking trees down with this current job, I notice that when first cutting through the compression side, if done at a relatively steep angle downward, you can generally get further through the tree before the cut starts to close, compared to cutting straight across. The trip and slide...

Peter, I think that Stig was referring to nipping the corner as the tree is going over, before it gets hung up. Interesting to read of your results from a stationary situation. Sure seems worth trying. Getting mid size on up trees moving again once they are motionless, seems to require a bit...

In this case, Jerry, thought given to cutting order almost becomes a mute point when the requirement calls for leaving alone all deciduous growth, of which there is a lot. Possibly take out the hung ones with another fall (same thought, Burnham), or make it more complicated. Hung ups with very...

On these government contracts they do get rather specific on some dos and don'ts, even though once on the ground, just bucked up and the limbs removed then left to rot. In this particular location I wouldn't exactly call it valuable timber, but things are changing now with removing the usable...

Gutting the hinge does help a bit, and am doing that on the smaller trees to allow a through hinge for the wedge when seeing that it was likely going to hang up. Wedging is effective if you get lucky. Busted one right off the hinge that way though. Hung up and sitting on the stump, I think...

Leave a thin hinge then trip....good idea, Willie.

I posted about the current thinning work on ground where a lot of trees stand a good chance of not falling clear to the lay, due to limb interference from trees that won't be cut. Must have had at least five or six happen today. Walking them down after getting blocked sure eats up a lot of...
