Just curious if opening up the notch a bit (to 90 degrees +?) would allow the hinge to work longer and let the tree fall in the lay. Also, would making the back cut even with the apex of the notch make a difference? I'm thinking it might aid the flexibility of the hinge, but species-specific wood properties probably have more influence on that. Anyway, thanks for making me think and thanks for posting.
I have to agree with boo7931 that wrapping your thumb around the handle is the best habit to keep, yet common to see it not happen. It doesn't seem to be causing you any severe risk yet, just an observation.
those are some pretty heavy leans that you're taking the opposite direction! Nice work. Seems that you've got a sense of what works and looks like you are successful in ridding them from yards where they could pose substantial hazard. Keep up the respectful service.
you made the cut high up and not straight in the front, for me i allways just cut it straight under so the cut looks more to the forward the result will be better when you pull the rope, never the less a nice job you did!

The wedges were not used to move or control the tree other than just to keep the saw from pinching when the back strap release cut was made. Did you see how the bar got pinched at the end of the first plunge cut? I could have just called for a little pull on the line, but thought it just as well to use the wedges.
This cut would have ben difficult to make without the plunge as the saw would have pinched as the backcut was started, though there are other methods to get around that
I was thinking what is the wedge used for, now I know. Its for spinning trees around and falling them 5 feet from a fence. Perfect. Daniel, you continue to impress me. As you know I got pinned by a steel core safety from a barber chair couple months ago. 15 years aloft I was due for at least 1 barberchair on lightening struck. Now I don't roll unless there are 2 climbers on the job. Period.....It took um 10 minutes to get to me. If we called 911 I wouldn't be here posting.
Okay. Everything else you have shown... I've done. But, you seriously have some serious ballz to do that. Nice job. You pulled it off! Don't get complacent with your risky stunts brother,

You forgot to tuck your thumb around the handle a couple of times. You go the tree down, but spurs and a 200T is more fun!
