Other than cutting off the buttress flare it's a bore cut felling technique usually used on forward leaners.
I see this technique being used a lot although it's not really necessary in many cases.
I see advantages of time to place wedges, and time to cut the rear strap so you determine when it's going to fall unlike conventional method where it just falls.
Maybe the safety people think that's better?
But it is certainly gaining popularity.
Thanks and welcome to Tree World.
I liked right at the start when the first guy got out, they soon made sure that the "Yobbo" element is not on.
Good video.
