Very Impressed

[highlander]

I have been reading thru the threads and one thing that sure does impress me is that there is a big emphasis on the mechanics of falling trees.

Hope this don't offend

No reason to offend, welcome to the forum. We are fortunate here to have members that can be considered excellent teachers, based on their lengthy experience in the field and own periods of study. Safe approaches require analysis, which hopefully leads to a grasp of the proper mechanics with variables.

Will do, I tend not to take pics when I'm working lol new fangled technology not my strong point and my arms ain't long enough to take pics and cut lol......I'm not really falling at the mo due to wifes health, the rules over here in UK (and don't get me going there lol) however I do have a few trees I gotta fall (hardwoods) that are making me scratch my head a bit so very well may post a few pics to get other fallers views

Truth

 

[highlander]

It just a thing of mine that there seems to be so much emphasis these days on using toys gadgets etc that the reading of a stick (lean,rot etc etc), knowing the mechanics of a certain course of action (face, back cut etc) seems to have been kinda lost

 

[SouthSoundTree]

So true.

 

[Tucker943]

No gadget can replace judgment with a tree. I will stand by that statement to my death.
