I've seen that done. I don't trust my cutting either. I'd whack off the hinge and down the little bugger would come, right on the Barbie Bar. It was explained to me after a tree did "sat back'" on my saw and it was a similarly sized tree except it was.......a maple. A friend cut out my saw, after getting all excited and yelling. Oh well.
It's done in this video.
Its not so hard, just have to be careful with hold wood, better to leave to much, If you can cut fyrewood you can do a backwards falling cut. take it slow and think about every cut, aim carefully and fallow through, just like shooting skvuerls, remember to gun the back cut, and gun the face to the same spot, easy peasy
Just don't do it on a head leaner lol. Or maybe its better to say don't wedge it into a head leaner before the face is in!
Workin' on it. Like I said before, it's not my rodeo, but I can still tug on coat-sleeves. I guess the city got cold feet worrying about liability or something.

I meant to say something about the ferns before, some here are protected but I can't tell um apart. lol, almost everything here is protected, I don't dare say anything when I find strange stuff.
Remember, it rains and rains and rains here. I've got a table lamp on now. I had to get a light turned on just a bit ago so I could read my music. That's why there's all that moss, and ferns and green moss on my pickup. On the road there's moss hanging from trees, moss along the road and moss even grows in the road and gets scraped off by the road crew in places. Our clothing sometimes has that mildew smell. I notice it when I travel over to the dry side of the mountains.
I'm using hand tools because I've only got The Used Dog as a helper so I'm going lightweight, I want to be quiet cuz it's kind of a stealth operation--OK as long as I stay low profile, it is on a legal, official trail, and I'm really fat and will burn more calories with hand tools. I call it the gym.
A former 'ologist wanted to start putting restrictions and protecting ferns and got thumbs down. They're everywhere. It's hard to see where you are stepping, or what you are stepping on.
I've moved some around on my place. They transplant well if you put them in the same kind of sun exposure.

HA! Well, yes ma'am that will get you into shape for sure! I was wondering because in our designated National Park section of the National Forest they have strange laws such as...no dogs (oddly enough) no rubber tired anything (carts, or vehicles)...once a plane mysteriously went down in Park service ground...it was taken apart and brought out on a trailer with solid metal wheels! That was stupid because the tractor pulling the trailer still had rubber tires! IDK...My buddies wher filming the "Non-reported" plane crash and gubmnet guys threatened to take their cameras...my buddies took off and ran from them on their dirtbikes. They were going to take their cameras...! Go figure!
I have some endagered ferns on my property...tons of "red ferns", they grow knee high...really pretty!

I also had a pair of chocolate labs growing up! Buk and Belle, they were great dogs, both had hip dysplasia though, Belle had alot of surgeries, but Buk never had any.
Reminds me of home
You mean Callifornia Bob as in Gologit or some different other bob, cause there seems to be a metric **** ton of em running around...
As much as I hate cottonwoods, they do sound good crashing to the ground.

Hmm Oregon... Probably the same weekend as Deming again... Risk being arrested 600 miles from home, or go to Deming and see the same people as last year... I guess I could just pay that fine, wait no, I didn't do anything wrong... (****ing cops anyway)...
Its up to the war dept...
