Guides to Proper Tree Felling - USA & NZ & BC

Eric Frei · 27th January 2007, 07:06 PM

This covers it all, from leaners to bars too small etc. even has the adjusted gun that many argue about. Rock Solid Stuff!

A credit to those who made it with great diagrams and covers the lot. I like it!

Also just added the NZ guide, also great with some good cross cutting (bucking) tips, go the Kiwi's.

Another addition, Power Point file, about 3.25mb very good by OSHA USA

I couldn't open that doc. It came up "error document damaged and could not be repaired". Anyone know why?

Have you got the latest version of Adobe? I think it's about 7.06 or 7.08 ..... opens fine for me.

Eric
I tried to explain my way out of my son using the angled back cut
but invariably the physics of your diagram was required to convince
him His good friend that has been falling for 30 years uses the angle to
wedge with because he states his bar wont get hit with the wedges he drives
in behind as theres more wood for room with bar and wedge . thanks for your
adjusted gun demo and this one as I can only learn it visually. Hey anyone
need a gently used 090av? got one but a guy on the Island tried to ship one to the states and it was returned because the dogs sniffed a slight bit of gas in
the tank that had been cleaned and thoughrouly flushed I have a good one
but Im leary bout shipping it from his experience keith
