Very true! See the video in the neat felling video thread for the almost exact technique I used on it. It wasn't a leaner though. Just a big wolf...
Yup. Since its just firewood I don't put the face and back cuts right on the ground anymore. Easier on the back that way.
Exactly. I remember as a young kid one of my grandfather's dairy cows had a large branch fall on its back during a wind storm. I'll never forget...
Yeah that was the big thing. Their beef herd liked to congregate under it. Nothing sounds quite like a cow with a broken back. Win- win no...

Wait a bit and if santa gives me a present instead of coal, I'd be happy to let you know what I thought of it. Although I am a bit shorter than...
Aweful news! Grew up in west Michigan. That lake effect snow is no joke!
I realize English isn't your 1st language so I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I made good money for years felling in my 20s. I dont...
In wood that size I'm pretty similar. There's a lot to learn in that video. An old time feller taught me much the same when I first started out....
What a great deal. GLWS!
