Cutting a Dutchman

Helpful explanation but I find myself wondering - how many trees did he have to fell in perfecting his technique. Was it 10s? 100s? Dropping many trees a day, lots with the same attributes (size, lean, limb weighting, etc.) is an ideal environment to hone such skills.

I have more education than experience but have done it successfully when I have had the chance to cut conifers. Doesn't work well with brittle wood.
