    Water tank/fire skid —— tree watering

    You can check through this company for gpm and psi levels used for their pumps and pickup truck skid rigs. Maybe even give them a call and ask if they have a technical sales rep that could help guide you. Pretend like you're going to buy from them and maybe they'll play ball with info sharing...

    Getting a tree to drift during fall by thinning the hinge.

    So...tree falls where you aim it. Got it.

    Getting a tree to drift during fall by thinning the hinge.

    And? Any context to add or is this just a video of you dropping trees? Are you saying you swung these mid fall with partial hinge thinning or are you advocating for just aim it right the first time and send it?

    Retracting tool tether.

    I don't have a picture of it but I use one to manage the tail of my lanyard. I have a lobster/trigger snap on it that grabs the lanyard and manages the extra length. The unused end of my lanyard gets clipped on the back of my harness with a carabiner. I attached the trigger snap to the...

    I for one need closure. This is too "no communication cold-turkey" from a reputable tb member.

    Use of RRP without EN 1891 A lines

    Yeah, I'm not buying another rope just to use the RRP in a comp. I'd rather shelf the device and stick with the rope wrench.

    Do you always wear your helmet?

    You just need to train your muscles a bit. Stay strong, stay limber.

    Getting a tree to drift during fall by thinning the hinge.

    I don't think you would fall in any direction other than straight because your support points, your feet, never move from their position...just like the two corners of a hinge. I had of a kind of funny visual pop in my head as I was thinking more about this scenario. If a pirate with one good...

    Getting a tree to drift during fall by thinning the hinge.

    Or there are other variables contributing to a perceived drift and we just anecdotally attribute it to our cutting. Slight wind, for example, on a 200' tree could move the top a dozen or more feet. Also the sail effect as a tree falls and it's branches catch wind. That effect could push the top...

    Getting a tree to drift during fall by thinning the hinge.

    I have not. Which is one of the reasons I like watching guys like August and Reg. Most of the concepts and techniques I see I am familiar with. the fact they are cutting in a different region, with different trees and their characteristics is where I find the opportunity to grow beyond my local...

    Getting a tree to drift during fall by thinning the hinge.

    Lol ... A younger me might entertain this notion. The current me, not so much. It is an interesting point to identify the cutting speeds between cross cuts and chainsaws as a divider in learning felling cut nuance.

    Getting a tree to drift during fall by thinning the hinge.

    This I 100% agree with and understand. I have done this may times to utilize the momentum of the falling tree to roll off another when I was expecting crown interference. I would usually cut through the desired hinge corner before the tree started falling though, not while it was mid fall, and...

    Getting a tree to drift during fall by thinning the hinge.

    August Hunicke posted a new video to the YouTube. Pretty short video and he gave a pretty thorough educational style explanation why he was doing and making the choices he was. I usually agree with pretty much everything he says and just passively watch guys like him and Reg, enjoy the...
