I don't mind what we call it I just want more guys to use it. The control and safety factor using this technique is extremely high. We use it on trees with a lean, trees with problem tops, trees with termite infestation really big trees, we use it all the time.

The best parts of this technique with larger trees is it makes you reassess the fell as you proceed, we all tend to fall into the trap of rushing things or working on auto pilot, both can be fatal. It gives you much more control of the timing at the end of the fell too which I really like; one more check before we drive the tree over.

I get really shocked seeing the lack of any technique in the fells some companies undertake.
