another ugly stump

What’s wrong with a (running) bowline? Are you just suggesting a carabiner termination?

I use an (old fashioned) non locking rope snap. Bullet proof and extremely fast and easy to use. I think we can all tie a RB fast and easy but the rope snap is 4 or 5 times faster I'd say. Plus, it tosses well.

Why not cut it from ground level? drop it a mètre at a time.

Ok, I’ll bite. What was the point of the plunge cut thru the center of the hinge before beginning the back cut?

 

[Daniel]

I use it on almost ever large tree these days... It has many advantages... short bat being just one... 4.5' cut with a 2' bar here

The 2 reasons I know of are cut a fat tree with a short bar, and gut the hinge to lessen the risk of barber chair

And to make it a bit easier to cut a spar by eliminating more hinge so the spar will go over easier due to less holding wood

 

[evo]

I’ll add that I never really gut the hinge other than short bar issues. Or for small diameter trees when I know I need to pound wedges, I’ll gut a slot so the wedge doesn’t drive against the hinge.

The main reason I typically see this used is to limit fiber pull on high quality veneer logs.

For spars I’ll just gut the center of the hinge by over pivoting the nose of the bar in the back cut leaving two fat triangles which get narrowed after everything is set.
