LOL, I will take that advice to heart. Maybe slow down to speed up works for more than trees, huh?

That's a great fall Jeff, did you use a line? I would seriously have bounced that off the building, into the fence, destroying both. Thx for the props JakeG, but I don't remember saying that. I'm just amazed at the tolerance for pain and suffering that Jolly Jeff seems to possess. When my friends tell me they're re-marrying, I'm like "didn't you already try that", or "you know you don't have to do that again"
Hey Jon, SOP to use a line around structures, but that just brings the weight over. Never seen a line outrun gravity, at that point the holding wood's in control.As far as pain and suffering goes, hell, I'm a climber. P & S is how we know we're still alive.

A local guy here showed me once a kinetic rope, explaining how it is going to pull the tree all the way onto the ground. I managed to talk him out of it.
As long as you have a pulling force that can outrun gravity, you're good to go. Until then, I'll keep dressing my notches and watching my back cut.

You probably should. Years ago a friend of mine got married with an inuit girl in Denmark while he was having a blackout.
Dang it, that was the spellchecker. I edited it to say backcut! But hang on, all it takes to meet a cute Inuit girl is to have a blackout? Hmmm, this weekend could be interesting. Pics on Monday.

Luckily I caught the (Freudian) slip before editing. I mean, the girl in Denmark wasn't cute, and her family refused to let my pard leave their tent. The rescue operation was interesting.
Good luck!
At least I know I've got a buddy that specializes in Inuit tent marriage rescue ops. That opens up the field a lot!
Ok ya can't say rescue opp, marriage, and interesting without telling the rest of the story, did he fake his own death, did you "kidnap him" in the middle of the night wearing checkered head scarfs and screaming dirka dirka... Wait I know you held the family at saw point and traded an ugly/socially inept acquaintance for your buddy!

Long story short... We traded him for alcohol. It didn't work out, though. They accepted the booze, but still the girl produced horrible noises when her husband made a move away from the tent area. In the end he managed to sneak off when the family got drunk.
And all this time I've been using alcohol to try and get INTO the tent.
Might be worth a try. Do you like a diet of dried fish and whale blubber?

There's a reason why they call it a blackout.
Some dangerous advice being given in the firewood forum...wedges never needed. It is down towards the end.

hey falling question, on a block face, the hinge strip stays on the butt instead of the stump. no fiber pull but seems like a wast of time trimming them off. hardwood if it makes a difference. am i doing sumthing wrong? butt looks great exept for the little strip.........looks like some one tacked a 1x1 on it lol.
sounds normal to me, Usually use a block face when I want more control and a slower fall, so if I get some stump pull oh well.
