What is so special about it? There was no potential of any loss more expensive than having to pay for a climber to do it right.
A house trailer and a junk shed.
Fir trees are usually straight as an arrow and even grained. Easy to drop them right where you want.

LOL always someone to take the right out of some thing done good.

Most would not even know how to begin to cut the tree right, regardless of how straight they are, but what ever.

Like to see your vids Carl !!

Fair enough. You could be right. Feel free to post your video of dropping a tree of that height and width through a space that narrow.

That made me nervous just watching it. Anything can happen no matter how straight the grain or how experienced you are.



Check this out. I'll never try it but sure is cool.
