We get our share of trash piles out in the sticks. I would say it’s more common to find large glass dumps than other types of material, but still rather common. Going through pld trash can be interesting. Tells a lot about the past. Some of the glass is cool in its own right but keep your head down and clean on!Spent some more time tackling a three or more generation trash heap next to a huge barn friends helped us demolish. This hillside was covered in layers of trash we have been cleaning in stages. Dumpster of the big stuff a few yrs back included fiberglass boats, ridgid foam insulation, electronics, roofing shingles fishing gear.

That’s rather off centered. Was that a lateral branch?

Are you using Coos Bay cuts for large limbs.
Burnham uses a combo mini face/ hinge with a CB as a variant.

That one I was trying to induce some swing away from my work platform. I don’t think it swung away much, but it didn’t come closer like it wanted to.
I don’t limb much, but when I do, it’s usually a removal and I usually undercut, top cut and they pop right off. Unless I want it to hang/swing, then top cut only. The species here are not split prone...and my saw(s) are fast.
come to think of it, when I hard pruned the big salt cedar windbreak, I think I did Coos some.

It's useful and easy.
To align it, I try to keep one kerf by come over the top and around or underneath and around. If cutting square to the log, everthing will line up.
If off- angle, it's visible.

Stuff is so brittle here, I have found I can’t get too greedy with swinging limbs. Go mostly with gravity, only small redirect, or it will break and you’ll get nothing.
Plenty of timber to fell on that track. I had a working interview of sorts that went well so there’s good winter work for me if the pay and production can get sorted
We can get that on and off by season. Springtime you can steer White Pine like no other time of year. Coming out of Winter we always have to remember to snipe the sapwood cheeks across the hinge to prevent tearing.

That’s a big stick. How’d you transport? Or did you turn it all into firewood on the spot?

Big wood was cut to 3 pieces of firewood, hauled out with Kubota track skidsteer using pallet forks.. 60” Ryan’s grapple wanted nothing to do with the big stuff.. brought it home used the splitfire attachment to bang the big ones down to manageable size..very expensive to get ride of wood. and oak, no matter how big, splits pretty easy so I decided to go that route.

Some bark falling off, backleaning maple pullover action. 7 stems today. No cleanup. Kept 99+ percent off the lawn, even.
