Answer :

If you have no experience with felling, invite someone who has them - it's not that easy and can even cause a serious injury. In general - how much space do you have to place it and how exactly can you direct it? On small areas, I cut down large trees gradually - from above, we lowered individual branches on ropes. If there is enough space, it is easier to lay the tree as a whole.

Since the current is flowing south at 2 knots per hour, on which side of the tree would you instruct the diver to put the fifth stick of dynamite if you wanted the tree to fall north? -Riddles
