I don't know what to say other than "Wow".

That's one lucky sumbrick.

I would not have believed it if told to me....lucky

I've seen old powder men do similar with dynamite. Has to be seen to be believed.

Dad did something similar between our shed and fence... Although he was trying to fell it down the driveway it got hung in another tree and went the other way. So all I can say is one word LUCK.

would be ending up with a new shed/garage.

Amazing!

You'd rather not smash with a tree that is a problem. I have civil engineer brother - he should not be trusted with power tools. Compared to him I am an expert. Dropped a limb on his wife's clothesline full of clean clothes after I told him that was where the limb was going to fall and he assured me it wasn't. Also almost dropped a downed log he was sawing on directly onto his foot if nephew Stonewolf had not intervened.

.....I watched an experienced fellow drop 14 trees in a row (which took awhile). He told me where each one was going to go before hand, and sure enough, dropped each one exactly where he said it would go.

HOWEVER! The guy in that video had a whole lot that could have gone wrong! I admire his coolness under pressure. Notice that even he was relieved at the end.

Don't hang it up in another tree don't drop it on the skidder or on Charlie over their not in the creek or over a canyon edge. The guy did great, cause he has evidently done it LOTS.

I was just waiting for the disaster. It wasn't until he picked up the second wedge and tapped it in that I realized he knew exactly what he was doing and was gonna drop that tree exactly where he wanted it. Nice work.

.......the wedges were the clue that he knew his stuff, but man, that was an awfully tight target area.
