I agree with the references you've made to your comment section, as I have often said to myself, "I'd like to see 'um do that out here". Only in the 80 to 100' range with sprawling canopy, 1/4" of bark, and very tuff hard wood. I think you'll find yourself using your fill a lot more often or having a couple of extra chains ready to go, which is what I do. Keep up the great work you're doing.

While watching you video where you were felling a large tree solo. You were using a block and tackle so to speak , to pull the tree in the direction needed. Each time it moved you had to retention your ropes. If you were to incorporate a section of large bungee cord, say 50’ or so and stretch it between two loops in your main line, it would provide constant tension and pick up what would have been slack. There by eliminating the need to stop cutting to retention the pull line. What ever the length of bungee, set the loops double that distance. That would provide a good pull for a good distance. Plus it never complains or needs a break. And works cheap. 😎
