Kudos to you for your patient method. I learned tree felling, snag clearing, and blow-down clearing from one of the best logging trainers in Upstate NY; the most important piece of advice (and EVERYTHING was important) was "take your time, prepare for each cut, and be ready for every scenario". That lesson has helped me keep myself and others safe for a long time. Pulling down a tree like that is not production logging. You, unlike too many tree cutters and tree-doctors, took a patient approach; nobody and no property got hurt. Love your style. Much respect!

You go back and forth a dozen times in your head and the anxiety/pressure on your chest builds up and then finally you just do it. Once it hits the ground it's just another day at the office!

I've always cut trees around buildings from the top down. But on Monday I had to cut a pine down by felling it into a spot using a Humboldt cut. It fell perfectly where I wanted but I was super scared. I was shaking from the adrenaline for a bit. My pool, my shed, my house and my fence surrounded the tree. When it fell within a degree of my aiming I was pretty pumped. But something leaning the complete opposite way of where I wanted it to go would scare me too much. Great job on the cut and drop.

When I was chopping cord wood we'd hit all sorts of things. Bullets always made you scratch your--suddenly the saw stops cutting like it should, but no sparks. I cut down a large sugar maple in front of my folks house. I cut it into sections for their wood stove. We got four cords of wood out of it. A few weeks later I stopped in to see them. My father took me out to the pile he'd been splitting. He pointed a log he'd split. About two inches from the end, in the middle of the log, was a rail road spike. We figured it was at least 40feet up in the tree and I'd missed it with my saw by 2inches! Never did figure how it go up there, but it must put there at 70 years before I cut the tree.

I had to drop a 41 inch Hemlock standing precariously over the bank of my driveway. Angels were screaming at me the tree isn't safe so I took extra caution and built a scaffolding out to it----mind you I didn't touch it. The tree looked healthy so I didn't bother drilling a test hole. Not sure why all the screaming from the little shoulder angels but they made me nervous enough to attach a rope to me and have my brother stand by and yank me free if need be. Well I touched the chain to the bark and the tree imploded! Just three eighths of an inch into the bark and the tree imploded. I don't believe I had anything to do with the implosion of that tree. My brother yanked be back as it came straight down all around me splintering and crumbling into a billion pieces. I ended up under the scaffolding dangling by the rope. The rope saved me from a bad cliff fall to pavement and the scaffolding protected me from the crumbling tree. I've never seen anything like it and hope I never do again. The tree showed no signs of decay, full luscious green and healthy bark. But the inside told a different story. It was totally rotten, take any piece that's not bark and you can crumble it in your hands. The tree was literally feeding and standing on its bark. I believe the timing of natures natural demolition and mine came together with inevitable timing. Had I waited 5 minutes-------? Always listen to them little guys on your shoulder, they seem to always know more then we do. Thx 4 the great vids.

What kind of rope do you use to pull over a tree like this? I had a 65' backleaning oak I cut yesterday. I had two rigging ropes pulling on the tree but I didn't pull hard enough to overcome the weight of the limbs. I lifted the tree up a little over an inch using wedges but the weight on the right side caused the tree to fall to the right instead of where my ropes were pulling. One rope was connected to my block and tackle and the other was connected to my tractor. I guess I should get a big enough rope that I can trust it not to break.

Good job. Experience showed through. I understand your nervousness. Just felling big oaks in the woods gets me. You don`t ever want to get over confident. Incredible amount of weight you`re working with. Damn shame about the damage to your saws.

I'm no pro but was thinking the same. If hinge had broke early the whole tree could have gone sideways.

Of course the real solution would've been to not let a tree grow near the house at all, they look so nice when they're small then they become big and deadly over time.

Tree hitting that house didn't look like it would be a large disaster.

I have trees that are older than my house. Mind you, it was built in 1725.

I can honestly say this is the first video of tree filling that made me nervous to watch! You guys are great. I have a maple that I need to take down and it is leaning also but not toward the house. I am learning these rotten trees are much more dangerous to cut down, I am going to take it down in the next 60 days for sure

When in doubt clime it and take it down from the top down 2 feet at a time ! Because I am no expert !

Not even climb a rotten tree but use the boom on the bucket truck

Great video! So when I was much younger, a neighbor who was about 50 years my senior taught me how to fell trees. We got so good we could drop trees on a matchbook target. In fact it became a game to see how close we could do it. Now that I am much older, I don't seem to have that same nerve dropping big sticks. Even if they are in the middle of nowhere. :(

In my day, there was no soil. Everything was rock and I saw the process of erosion first hand.
