Danger Trees, Double Trouble

Simple takedowns of two dead lodged hickory's.

Both were dead and had canopy damage and the first one was partially lodged (meaning one side was free) up high in other trees and the second one was resting on another.

Biggest danger with these sorts of trees is the butt kicking out and striking the faller. Also branches coming down from higher up as the tree shifts in its entrapment which according to OSHA is the highest killer of professional fallers.

These are fairly simple for me, I've done a few hundred of them but you really want to watch playing around with lodged or hung up trees.
