a flat back cut would have let the wedge do all the work, no rope needed.
wedges don't work worth a sheit with it sloped, just wants to shove it forward off the stump

Note from the filmmaker.
Please be advised, this is not a tutorial on how to cut down a tree.
If you plan to cut one down, seek professional assistance.
Thanks!

At least he got that right

It could have it's place in a tree felling tutorial.. 'what not to do'.

Timberrat, this is exactly what I posted on utube, that eventually he was going to get himself or someone else killed, the filmmaker deleted both my posts and a bunch of others he didn't like.

Hi I`m a logger.I too have had hard time thousand times like you had.and still even now I`m learning the logging from my work everyday.sometimes the logging needs a delicate sense and imagination .it`s almost an art! (I`m not an artist yet,but I respect logger who log like an art. )I think renewal woods is good for enviroment. because they say that grown up old woods almost would not absorb carbon any longer. ofcourse you need glow new woods instead.
anyway you `ve dane it! congratulations! "

It is somewhat longer, over nine minutes.
You only have to go about half way in to see where they used a jack. Note how the sawyer took out too much of the back support area and they tried to convert it to a face cut.

I am amazed at the lack of skills shown in this video

I cant go into the errors/mistakes as there are too many to mention!!

Apalling is all I can say!!

Tried to access this delightful series of videos today to show a coworker and I got the message that they were "removed by the user" that posted them. I guess he got enough e-mails telling him how stupid his friend is. No comment on why he did for sure though. I hope he didn't have to remove them out of respect for the dead, that would be sad.
