    Nice fell can you re word/expand on this The bakcut was plunged, with a slight bypass of about 3" on the back strap release. This allowed the tree to move slightly towards the lay, but then stop, leaving the kerf of the lower backcut open about an inch Josh says thanks Dadio

    ditto, when you tie the bowline, stick a combi spanner in. "the bowline can seize on itself and make untying difficult. to lessen the problem of seizure from hard pulls, leave the top loop a little loose; in other words, dont tie the knot too tightly. A plastic or metal tapered pin can be inserted where the top loop forms around the line. After the knot is used, the pin can be removed, thus introducing slack in the knot and making it easier to untie after a hard pull. Such use of a tapered pin can be applied to many knots." from the fundamentals of general tree work, old skool book but loads of good ideas

    summers day, slight breeze, that was the center of the tree which made the rest of the tree a pain to climb and rig over the road, hedge, well, carport, wires. inspected the limb off to the side, deep hole near the trunk, so i suggested pollarding with the failure as the new top keeping the fracture to show the story

    i think its a traditional skill that should not be lost. some of the old photos of a team of guys axeing big redwoods, standing on a spiral of planks, standing in the gob are stunning.
