No Notch = No Direction

Step cut does it for me unless we are into proper big stuff with houses, nuclear reactors etc underneath!

oh, I get it. I see whats going on here, you guys have all seen and done it all before, no need to discuss tree surgery techniques anymore. Not sure if this website is for me, are there any other more serious tree surgery forums on the web?

You miss the point- there is seldom right and wrong. However the judgement on appearance shows a narrow minded approach which is equally if not more dangerous.

 

For the record i would have used a felling cut as it was a vertical stem.

but I would not of put a pull rope on it.

 

But it does not make another way wrong.

No one forced you to be here, if you dont like it there are plenty of other sites you could be on.

Maybe I should have read page two before replying on page three! Mani, get a grip! People do things in different ways than you, they make decisions based on what they know which of course is different from what you know. How in the world can we all think like you do? Its not possible.

 

For the situation, that video is fine, a point that seems to be agreed upon by some very experienced climbers from this forum, all of whom are here to learn more and help others where they can.

 

I wouldn't cut a notch in small stuff like that, in a woodland, with large bloke pulling on the line! Any possibility of it going the other way and I'd face cut it, have more large blokes pulling, add a winch, give up tree work, whatever. Chillout, we all do what we do, some people video it and some don't.

The notch is fundamental to what we do, it's what we're all about, if you dont respect and value the notch then your no better than the moronic cretin with a rusty transit panel van, wobbly ladders and his cherished 5 mm polyprop blue rope from the bargain bin at B&Q.

 

Are you the same as him? cause that what it looks like from here.
