Nice safety equipment !
That sucker started to roll on you at the end.
Hi Lobo, in most situations i saw off all holdingwood. This not only prevents fibre pull and butt shatter, but also allows the tree to roll off and away from trees that it may otherwise damage or get hungup in.
I'm not suggesting though that others use the same method as it requires a very sharp and fast saw to severe the wood faster than the tree can fall.
