never seen anyone fell a tree with an Angle like that.

I have when I first started using a saw and it was on a much smaller tree. Thought that was the right way back then.

Before I played the video I thought this was a lark and he was going to fell that little tree on the left. You could have used a couple more "F" words in the title.

Yeah, Yeah, I know, you ain't a pro unless you use a horizontal back cut. Yada Yada Yada
Criticizing remarks like that are cheap and pious.
Get your butts out there and make your own video and post it, show us how to do it. Until then :zip:

I wasn't the one who made the cut in that video, however I almost lost my foot one time when a hinge broke while driving a wedge and the tree jumped back and planted itself beside my foot with virtually no reaction time whatsoever. A little bit of angle to my back cut would (and will) prevent that from happening. Sure, too much angle creates other problems, but a little angle solves that one, so I'll be sticking with that method, but I won't get all pious about it.

Oh, and I only want to see one video you have made yourself, not one you find on the net somewhere. That will earn you the right to make further comments in my thread.
Till then :cheese:

Guess you can go ahead and share your views, but looking closely at that video it almost looks like I detect a slight bit of angle in that back cut? ;-)

Cool, I liked it. Tree got cut, tree fell down, it worked ok as far as I could tell! Thanks for posting, I always enjoy watching people's videos and looking at their pictures.
