Lodged Trees
Some Suggestions as to How You can Take Down a
Lodged Tree.
If the tree you have felled gets hung up, do nothing
hastily. Take a rest and give some thought to the situation
in peace and quiet. Consider various alternatives and
always choose a safe method even if it takes a little
longer.
Simple Hang-Ups Rolling the Tree.
1. Determine direction tree can most easily be rolled
down.
2. Cut tree loose from hinge, leaving a little on the side
you intend it to roll down on.
3. Using a cant hook or similar tool, roll the tree away
from you.
4. Lift with a straight back.
If the tree is wedged in the branches of another tree,
you can exert more rolling force using a cant hook and
a long pole.
Remember to lift correctly with a straight back.

A lodged tree is a dangerous situation.
Do not try to fell a tree in which another tree is lodged.
Do not fell another tree onto a lodged tree.
Do not work inside the danger area of a lodged tree
and do not allow people inside danger area.
