    Super skilled. What's so dangerous about these trees is that regardless of where he placed the wedges if the wind catches the top of the tree it's just going to fall it in any direction it wants.

    • @FondelMikeRotch
      @FondelMikeRotch 8 днів тому +1

      No its not the wind at all lol.
      Cut in the wrong place too deep and the whole side may blow out.
      When that happens the tree can fall straight down, like collapsing upon itself,right where you are cutting, not falling sideways like you expect it too.
      There is also a “barber chair” effect, which is rare but can easily be fatal.

      We have way too many trees here in the Sierras, due to 150 years of fire suppression. Because of that, when we get wildfires the trees are so close together that they fire gets into the crowns of the trees. Couple that with an upslope wind, and they are unstoppable.
