love this video. love how you keep it real with how it is in the real world. i've been in the same situation many times. anyone who says it hasnt happened to him, is either lying or doesnt have much experience. i thought i was watching me lol. i've been saying the same as you about ego's etc and you're 100% right. anyways..keep on keeping on and merry christmas !!...thumbs up
That's how she goes sometimes lol. If a guy never hung up a tree or two, he didn't do much cutting in the bush that's for sure. Wind is one of those weird wild cards, sometimes it can help when trees aren't leaning the right way, but mostly it hinders you. Nothing like waiting between gusts to finish the back cut, because that's not dodgy at all (referencing me, not you). My non-safety Sask approved technique when tree is hung up like yours Put a small strap or chain around tree near the cut, loose enough to get a pry bar or 3-4" 4 foot long stick in Tickle the stump/tree/anything to weaken it to the side you want it to roll Grab stick/bar that's in strap (it's facing straight up) and reef on it If you're lucky, the tree will rotate off the stump and hit the ground. Watch your toes, this is dangerous. Now, if you're still lucky, the tree is hung up on the 2nd trees branches, so you readjust your prybar and repeat. If things go good, the hung tree will rotate out further onto the 2nd trees branches. Might break them and drop the tree and good times follow. It also might kick out right towards you, so be nimble as a goat if you try this.
lol. Yes! You are 100% correct about hanging the odd one up. That was the main point of the video. Some people are too “hung up” on perfection. I like your strap idea. I have a felling leaver with a cant hook on it but I always forget to put it in the truck. Thanks for tuning in. Take care ✌️
@@Northofsomething82 no doubt a cant hook would be 1000x better and easier, but I had to make do with what I had the day I "discovered" this trick🤣 Cheers
Was u running 572, or 592? In that uncertain situation i would cut wider, and deeper face cut, to gain that quicker fall down momentum, but yeah - sometimes is easier to say then done! Stay safe, don't put your life in danger, its not worth it...

when the wind is rocking your trees around like that you are not going to have a good day
You are absolutely correct. Part of the struggle. ✌️

Yes opening up the face cut might have given me the momentum to clear the crowns. I’m running a 572 in this video. Thanks for tuning in! Stay well ✌️
