Why fell one when you can do two.

out of interest, and having done this in woods before, why did you cut the back tree first then essentially put yourself into the danger area on the 2nd tree? as for that to work the 1st tree you back cut had to have been leaning into the 2nd one, surely that was an un-nessicary risk to be taking. It may just be that the camera angles make it look more iffy than it was in reality.

The back tree is leaning towards the house and the front tree which is larger into the field. If you look at the end of the video you'll see the line we used to tie them together. It was cut and left with a large hinge and i decided with a wedge it would be fine for about 20 seconds before i felled the front one. My escape route was to my right which would take me clear of the lean on the other stem. I wasn't directly in front of the rear stem but wasn't exactly 100% in the safe to be honest but was safe enough to be safe if you know what i mean?
