Felling a stem...

I'm scouring YOUTUBE for info that will help me become better at what we do.

I have 2 conifers that are suitable candidates for zip lining so that's me current subject of research.

Now at the end of this video:

at 5m20s it appears the guys fell the stem using a gob cut that is upside down.

Question for the esteemed learned panel:

Why?

Regards

Ty

(I have so much to learn...)

I think whichever way you look at it on a flat site either the traditional scarf or humbolt you will get the same amount of timber out a tree, on a steep site felling downhill they are usefull for getting the most out of a tree as the face cut can go in the lower part and back cut as flush to ground as possible.
