Great clip Gord...I did watch it many times...
I love the acsent of your dad!
First time i saw it i thought it was steel cables falling down,hence the scream..By the fifth time i see it was thin branches...And your girlfreind overreacting...
I notice the wedges are to one side and forward of the backcut?
Is that somthing you do for pines?
I was allways taught to put "first" wedges inline with where you want it to go. If the second wedge in the clip was hit in more, would that send the tree to the left? Just a thought.
If mine dident go with a first wedge, that is inline with gunning sights, i double it up with another on top of it..
I have guesstimated that i can move the top of a tree a metre, (3 feet) with my long alloys, another one on top of that, its gone...
I know you get good lift from wedging in the side, i generally only do it for direction..If after a wedge is put in line with the gunning sights, if i want it to go a little to one side, I might use it then, I prefer the tapered hinge cut for "twisting" a tree...Derek..
Ps SNAX at work, can't go past "up and go" or "get breakfast" liquid "breakfast" type drinks..(but just as a snack of course)..
A big meal through the day make me want to have a nap, and i dont take my hammock..
