I'm sure that was carefully planned, certainly well executed - and many tries, as well. An unlikely, but interesting method of loading a trailer. I'm curious about the "brakeman"...he doesnt seem to be anchored...the log "appears to be" MANY times the guys weight...yet something allows the log to be lowered at the crucial moment... and what is the braking device? Won't be my figure eight. Photoshop? I'll have to ask our daughter...
I'm curious about the shape of the track...'cause it looks like a round log...and I don't see any constraints to prevent the butt from jumping off. Looks very natural, though. Uses butt of axe to knock off a support...walks away the way I do. In this case, I'd have removed the chainsaw from the scene. More here than meets the eye?

volodar what you are not seeing is they had chain sawed a grove in the butt of the hung tree. the track is nothing but another much smaller tree inserted into the grove of the hung up tree then the logger cuts away the final portion of the hinge left to direct the fall of the tree when it was cut. The grove causes the tree to ride the rail so to speak. Once it has moved 20 feet or so there in no force in nature that stop the tree from sliding down even after it comes off the rail.
Dangerous work but folks love their stick built homes here in the US
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products

That would certainly work. We have a number of dead or dying doug firs and hemlocks on our steep acreage - caused by what we consider a drought in our rain forest on southern Vancouver Island. Some will become firewood, others to remain as wildlife trees. The ocean below will again become more visible.
