A while ago I did some research into using inflatable bags like they use for stunt jumps. That lead to the airbags that are used to lift heavy objects. these things are available and not uncommon. On one of the pages they speced out the volume and pressure needed in the bag to absorb the load or lift the load.

THANKS I'LL HIT THE MECHICANIC UP FOR ONE IN THE AM WITH MY FOAM
Now what happens in the head is layers of crap fall apart, it's not one solid block, so little different. Some times you have to stop to catch bits and pieces.
So as you are cutting the block and approaching the exit you put a wedge behind the saw, resume cutting thru, that's right.
You can also snap cut them, or what I call bore-wing cut them when there's compression in there like that last big one.
I dunno, they're just that right diameter to go straight thru, the saw will cut straight thru no worries but what has happened is that the whole block I have cut has flown off the bar ... whooosh, look out below! /forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif
So as I get within say an inch or two of the exit I put my left hand on top of the block and keep sawing with the bumper spikes (dogs) buried in just nice for the finale. Then when the bar's made it thru I stop sawing, tilt the block back and remove the saw.
That's what I do, I aint going to hide it coz I cut zillions of these weeds all the same way. I occasinally on a leaner or big fat bugger do other stuff but on the run of the mill verticle dudes I do this. The bar is all the way thru and I've never had a kick or anything ... nothing. They are palms though so soft.
On gums etc I'll snap cut or go nearly thru, remove the saw, then cut out just under on the exit side so the block sits down ready to be thrown off.

Holy dooleys
And a mountain of that white stuff!
That looks so cold ... and obviously a wall or something there ... good shooting to hit the mark, that's when you need to video it ... just incase you miss! /forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif Haha
I cant even imagine working in that snow, pretty handy though if your chunking down eh?

That won't happen. /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The customers main concern was the wall and I saved it which made her happy.
Snow is good for losing stuff if you drop it.

Did you get much pivot on that point? You know, the butt bounces up like the high end of a see-saw ... or did all the foliage on the end cushion it nice?
See, you should've video'd it, great moments to catch on film ... there'd be snow and stuff flinging up, a big mess etc, great stuff to work with for effects.
Would have been a ripper if you measured it out really well and had a camera set up off centre close to where the head hit, you'd really get a great shot and still see the butt doing it's thing. /forum/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

The butt rocked after the first impact then it died.
I didn't have a camera, a friend that lived on the lake had her new camera but I didn't know she was taking pictures until after the dust settled.
I'm not crazy about taking pictures myself because it takes the mind off the job but they're nice to have.

I remember when that tree had its own thread and series of pics. They were great shots.

Kevin,
Is that a log arch on skis behind the six wheeled ATV?

Yes it is Tom.
I pull it with that Argo amphibious atv.
Works good but you need at least three or four bodies in the Argo for ballast when skidding large logs.

After summer in the norhtern hemisphere we have a season called 'fall'. the name comes from what happens to the leaves on the trees...they fall...a joke 
In the spring, because the leaves spring out of the buds...hit me, two bad jokes in a row...the buds will open and change the color of the tree line. Depending on the area, you can see exactly where the birches, aspens and ash grow. they are generally found at the same level above the lake.

Oh, so those guys are on a frozen lake and they're not pines on the hill.
We have seasons here but they're not as distinct as that, most trees are evergreens, there's a few deciduous but not many, not like the southern parts that break out into what we call autumn colour.
I remember when I lived in the wine growing district of Barossa Valley SA ... the vineyards all over the rolling hills would be a spectical when they were in full colour ... something my kids just dont see or or understand up here. Just the odd tree and they ask if it's sick!
