    He missed the building on the right by not much more than the thickness of the bark. Incredible skill when you consider that even a light cross breeze could have been a disaster.

    I've seen a lot of trees go down by some very experienced people, trees that size will roll very often on the way down. I think that's why he dropped to his knees after. The aim can be perfect but if you get even a little roll off on the way down it could be off by a few feet or more. This guy knew what he was doing!

    Oh, for heavens' sake. Keep seeing political hate garbage from the odd member. Unwelcome, and disappointing.

    Very well done. I'd do this only if the lean were right on target - not likely, that. So, maybe remove branches on the main cut side to shift C of G toward the gap. Plus, when its this tight, guy the tree like sailboat mast-stays with tensioned, non-stretch line. In this situation wedges alone are not precise enough on their own. Of course, air should be still, or be gentle in the intended direction. Some luck wouldn't hurt. GIF gives no detail. I'd like to read a report on the strategy in this case.

    I first saw this video several years ago, I am pretty sure there was info out there back then, should still be if you dig.
