I stopped because I felt the ensuing chaos in my bones.

How would yall have taken a go at this

What do you think? I think this went really well. Had to fell it because it would be in the way of my new house.

Rotted out white pine in my yard had to come down before the wind took it. Had all the neighbours come out as it the oldest tree in town!

School me, how did I do?

10” DBH white fir. ~ 40’ tall, next to my garage.
Experimenting with Humboldt cuts out of curiosity. My neighbor is going to mill the usable portion each log, so I thought I should cosplay being a lumberjack.

No buildings or dogs harmed in the experiment.
Also, the Makita 36v with a 1/4” pitch chain handled these without issue. I’m a fan for quick jobs.

It was super windy all morning but was weirdly calm when it fell. I was cooking on the stove heard something crazy loud that I didn’t recognize then smash. I’m ashamed to say I screamed and my cat bolted. Luckily it missed the power line. I was so frantic by the time I was looking for the cat I notice the tree smashed the back door. I still haven’t found her yet.

I know nothing about felling yet I’m in this sub a lot. Came across some felling in the wild - in the city. Looks like they’re doing a pretty good job.

Sorry no audio it glitched when recording. There was lots of cracking

So many things wrong with this video. Can you name them all?
