I’d have a snack! 😋 😁
You were a good sport about that. I’d have been cussing myself to death lol.
I’ll be interested to see what you do…I’d put another undercut in (higher up) on the opposite side and fall it in the direction the wind is blowing. A little sketchy, but you do what ya gotta do! Glad to see I’m not the only one who occasionally has to resort to the ol’ “remove the power head so it doesn’t get crushed” trick!
Master testing students...nice
Under cut the back above your bar and fall the tree backwards.
My next move as a fellow faller would be maybe think about making the under cut were your wedge is and let it ride unfortunately otherwise not sure of other options
Quite the predicament. If you can, try cutting the cracked flair off and see if you can drive your wedge in farther. Hey, I love your wool sweater. I won't wear it for work. It is way too nice. Your hiviz jacjet is very warm also. Good luck with the tree. Can't wait to see how it pans out for ya. Be safe!!
Put in a small face cut where your back is and turn your original face cut into your new back cut. Gonna go where you don't want it to, but unless the wind does a 180 you're kinda where you're at.
Hi Bjarne, I heard the story of a man who makes high-class walking sticks and plants his own trees. After seven years he cuts them down and they always have eleven growth rings. The rings don't always mean years, they mean fast growth / slow growth, so if there happens to be an extended cold period during summer or a warm period during winter there would be twice as many growth rings for that year.
Tea is in order!, no wind tomorrow a.m.
Love the scenery 🏔️and the night footage was cool
cut a small wedge above the old back cut, and aim the new wedge in the direction of the wind.
With the wood already cracking and splitting doing a new notch and back cut higher up probaly will just result in another pinched bar. Probaly best thing to do is just start cutting back in towards your bar from the face cut and let it snap off off and go over backwards. Now I will tell you I never cut trees that tall and my experience is mostly with hardwood. So I'm sure there is a trick but once a butt starts to splinter you are limited.
A pretty bad situation and extremely dangerous to you for sure! If the wind doesn't die down and you can't wait for it too, No rope help, then I would just nip the hinge on the face cut side and run up the hill at a 45 degree away. Good luck and we'll be watching.
I think the insert is to your right and behind you a bit. At this point, I would drop back 10 yards and punt. Well, I would not like it, but I would call a partner into assist me and hope we don't get his saw fouled too. Hope ain't much of a plan though.
Walk down the hill and go work at home Depot? 😂 You're awesome Bjarne., can't wait to see what happens.
Wow
I think you start over about a foot up the stump and fall it with the wind. Good luck!!
Hi Bjarne!!😀😀
to my way of thinking as the tree is now a danger all you can do is cut it to fall with the wind,it will knacker the butt falling without an undercut but at least it will be down and you can continue cutting
