In part 3 David Rossney makes chainsaw cuts to a tree so it falls where he wants. He also deals with a common problem, a "hung up" tree, where the surrounding trees stop it falling as planned. http://woodlands.co.uk

Guys this is by fare the best video I have seen yet showing an attempt at dealing with a hung up tree using the NPTC city and Guilds CS31 best practice (for those not in the uk thats UK best practice for felling a tree up to 15" DBH). The only part where this falls down is that you are taught to open the hing up after the hang up by boreing through the middle of the hing leaving 10% on either side,then removing one of the pegs to role the tree out – never the less a good attempt.
spot on the best video of six point sneeding I have seen anywhere just what should be taught – good on you !
i'm learning. thanks!
use a bigger try than the one your trying to get out of a hang dummy
look up some british columbia falling this is a joke i have been a faller in bc for over 25 years thesew trees r pencils lol
He's using small trees barbecue they're easier to work with but the principles are the basically the same. Anyway , as you can see , there's no skidder or feller bunchers around.
What is the tool that you are using to turn and wedge the log with?
google "felling lever". Good bit of kit.
thanks for using pleasant backround music, and not obnoxious heavy mettal..
that bar thing seems like its only for little trees, i dont think i would use that on a real tree
