Default Re: Felling technique

maybe he did what is known as crippling.Its used mainly for rotten or goosed out trees and you basically make major and minor crooscuts to weaken the stump and the tree goes whereever it wants.It isn used on trees that a regular notch and hinge cut would be useless.If not then the only thing I can think of is when doing back leaning pull trees you make a notch on both sides of the trunk and where the notches meet it forms a triangle and you make the back cut level with the under cuts.That would do it.
