2nd growth redwood

[bullbuck]

i was impressed he got that big tall tree to fall uphill with just wedges!that was a nice fall

 

[hammerlogging]

is it me or does this thing "fall slow?" maybe it's cause the cam moves with the tree as it falls...QUOTE]

Falling into a headwind can make it fall slower.

If you check the clock, @ ~ :13 the tree is actually moving forward - off the stump and up the hill - and hits pretty much flat across the sawed off stump up the hill aways. This is partially why the tree did not self-distruct upon impact. It is a timing thing. Was lucky enough to fell some larger old growth reds back in the day. They will take a lot, IF, you get the timing right!
Was surprised that nary a ? was asked though....
Hope all is well and Christmas finds you blessed.

I'm hoping you were busy all this time and not considering your reply.

Howdy Jack! Hope you're busy making trees horizontal.

Ya been slacking on your videos lately though, so howz an armchair timberfaller like me supposed to get anything done vicariously through you?

Have a great Christmas brother!

Hey Danger Cat, I've always liked your videos. Good stuff and good explainations! I've stolen a few of your tricks as well. Always fun to watch. You're a hell of a timber faller!
