TREES THAT DON’T LIKE HINGE CUTTING: Tongue & Groove Tree Felling

Sometimes we need the tree to hold on the stump for horizontal cover due to a complete lack of cover in an excellent location, but the only trees in the area are species that don't respond well to hinge cutting (aspen, conifer, balsam, some maples, etc). If you consider yourself a novice or weekend warrior then this advanced arborist technique may not be for you due to safety reasons. Attempt at your own risk. Wear all safety gear.
