#expertmode Tree Falling Trick

I don’t often use this technique and I would never count on this ALONE to keep a log on the stump, but this was a good circumstance to employ the technique. Combined with the fact that most of the branches were still on the tree and the uphill slope did not also cause the log to jump it allowed for some EXTRA control and will let the homeowner buck the log from the top down without fear of it rolling on him.

We tried this at work this winter and it went really well. It takes forever but can really make the felling process predictable when executed properly.

That was really cool. Don't think I'd be cut out for that line of work. Always fun to watch a professional perform though.

I did this last week. It's quite satisfying to see when it all settles on the ground. Fun puzzle to work out. Mine wasn't near and structures for my first go.

Impressive work, cool to see
Takes a professional to cut it that close to the house 😅

Very nice! I would normally use a 25' piece of line, clove on the trunk above the face cut, clove on the stump, both on the felling direction side of the tree.
It doesn't capture as nice as this though.

Literally making the tree fall and stay where it is allowed to fall, nice.

Nice freakin job! That’s the man right there!

Just recently I started seeing this type of hinge technique on cutting trees pretty smart

25% bonus for not taking the corner of the house out.

[charliebarker]

you look like you go into a fight with the last tree

[datsuntwosixty]

Geeze impressive, hope people understand your value when you quote accordingly.

An open face notch and a big hinge would’ve done the same thing

[wesleywrightman]

Worked but not the way I teach my apprentices.

[StihlRunnin]

Why did you opt for that instead of a more traditional cut?

[TheThugnificnt]

Open face notch does the same job. If it ain't broke dont fix it.

[ryanpatton]

Bro what happened to your head and eye

[jackberdine]

Bandage over the eyebrow ? Hope youre okay.
