Those American videos do nowt for me, at all. The sheer state of the stumps they leave is enough for me to need to lie down in a dark room for a while 🙈🤦🏻‍♂️

The US sawmills will not take timber with any basal flare, hence the high cuts on some trees.

Are we really going to say 1 handing is something that experienced climbers don't or shouldn't do

I never said don’t/shouldn’t do. I just find it odd that he feels the need to make videos that are purely pro-1 handing, we all do it from time to time but no need to make such a big deal from it?

The don’t want it - trees tend to be considerably taller too - loosing a couple of foot must be okay by them

This will be because the basal flair will have  the grain similarly angled so boards cut from it will be cross grained and weak.

 

Once upon a time mills were going to require basal flair  boards to be cut off and used for dunnage and chock wood but I guess the final customer just accepted the defect as long as it passed the machine grading.

There’s a guy on Instagram called Travor in Trees, he’s a contract climber.

He divides opinion a bit to say the least.

 

Anyway he fooked up a bit of rigging, all his fault and spent a couple of minutes berating an entirely innocent Nate on the ground crew.

That's nothing compared to this 6" from death rigging

Simply what I was told when asked about the felling and cross cutting on the landing. This was in reference to softwoods in the PNW.
