Tree felling

[Bret4207]

Can someone direct me to online tree felling practices? I'm in a big time argument with a couple guys who fell in what I consider STOOPIT and inefficient ways. I used to have some guide books on this but lost them someplace. I can't for the life of me recall the title to search for- approved practices or something. Any help would be appreciated before these jokers kill themselves.

Careful here. You make your bed, you have to lay in it.

Go to Bailey's website and look in the books area. You will find several reference books listed there.

Thanks Billy Bob

Those were some really great references. I have been needing to fall several trees against the lean here lately ... the reference from the BC stuff was most helpful for a quick review. Thanks again.
