This is the first decent sized tree that I have cut down. It was a few weeks ago but I didn't have my phone on me then and daylight is not something that is around much now days.
Nice job! Success, as you're still around to take the picture, LOL. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
Gourley - good job on getting it safely down. Any chance you can get a pic of the stump from the side? Don’t see much hinge wood, which would be a concern in the future felling of more trees.
Looks like a perfect felling based on the cuts and hinge. Wish mine looked like that! Nice job Gourley
Good going Matt! Give a holler sometime & I'll stop down your way on a weekend if you've got more to drop.
Nice Job Gourley ... it’s down and your safe.... I’m still learning and only have a few under my belt. GTG’s are a good prime location to pick up pointers...
I still wanna try renting a bucket Chvymn99 and taking a tree down. That looked like fun Chvymn99 . One of my step daughters has a dead ash she wants to take down. Medium size tree but on a hill. Dunno if the rental lift would work. May do it when ground is frozen.
I will get you a picture of that next time I am out there with some daylight. Something I didn't even think about until after pulling up my sleeves, wiping the sweat off my face and taking a short restroom break out in the woods. I would say having it my face/around my eyes was the worst part of it. Yes 2, the vines at the top holding on to nearby trees were really keeping it standing up for a little while. Be careful; my wife may actually give me a day off some time. Using a bucket looks like a lot planning and work. Sure is fun to watch someone go at it up in one of those.
