In this article, I want to focus predominately on one part of the felling process - the back cut. It is an important part of the felling process. The back cut is what forms the hinge and the hinge is what provides control to a tree being felled, and control is a good thing when felling trees. But first, a bit about planning and control. Many studies suggest that accidents are not random acts but rather a series of events that tend to connect and build on each other and culminate in a negative experience.

There are always variables, things that are out of your control or things that you didn't think about and that you didn't take time to plan for - and then they show themselves in someway resulting in a mishap.
