More pictures and videos please. I will be working around icky old mechanized sides for a while so won't get to see any real falling. Well, maybe when the steep ground comes around...but that'll be a while.
 
Hey Burvol how much backlean are you fightin with that jack and wedges. Its a nice shot of a corner seat for your jack and using wedges as backup. Looks like a nice brash DF.
 
Took one of the forestry classmates with me to fall a freshly dead tree, nice and green on the stump.

She's the holy crapper there at the end :laugh:

If you didn't leave your saw behind you could have had another started fore that one hit the ground!

Just an observation:

What is it with, or why do some cutters set their saws down next to a falling tree/ the stump?

I personally take my saw to a hopefully safer area. ..... like with me.

Just wondering,

Sam

I was told that Weyco will can a faller who doesn't set their saw down. Since a lot of the fallers around here work for different landowners, they like to stay in practice. Production cutting out here is a different world.

Jameson needs to fall some of our high site really tall second growth trees. I love to see those come down. They seem to take a while because of their height. Swooooooooooooosh, crash. Fast forward to about a minute on this bad video. Wish I'd had my better camera then
