Why such a tiny notch on that cottonwood?

I am starting to believe that the newer handsaws we are using are as dangerous or more dangerous than chainsaws.



I hope you recover fast.

That time lapse vid is cool. Which guy are you? Left or right? Hope your hand heals fast, at least it not spring and you have time to heal.

Yeah the time lapse is real cool.

Would'nt mind seeing a full length version of the climb if there was one.

How much lean did the Cottonwood have on it? From the camera view it didn't look like much of a lean. The reason I ask is because I can see you put a trigger in the back cut. Did you plunge/bore and then put in the trigger?
