Hey Reg, lots of those cedars appeared to be bark-peeled CMT's, and the first one in your video with the tripod spires may have been an example of an unfinished FN burn-felling project. If there was char inside the stump cavity, I suspect that's what it was. When you didn't have a saw or an axe, I believe early fallers would gradually, and carefully smoulder-burn out a cavity in the stump, and either keep eroding away towards the circumference until the tree toppled, or partially burn out a cavity and then wait until the winter storms blew it over... Fabulous videos!! You're an awesome teacher! Cheers, Ingmar

@ingmarzz

I've noticed numerous of these char cavities at Cathedral Grove in the area where you've made some tree chunking vids. These interior smoulders appear to have been carefully controlled so as not to set the whole tree on fire, you can see where fire started licking out of the cavities and was then put out-and nearby cedars of the same age without any charing. Additionally, there are charred stumps with a missing log... In addition to these possible examples of FN burn-felling, there are numerous very carefully peeled cedar spears, with 60 ft catfaces and very significant uniform callous over growth rolling across the catfaces which to my eye, appear to be deliberately grown canoes. My theory is that about 150 years ago a large fire swept the grove, burning out everything except the large fir vets. Subsequent regen growth began under the fir canopy, and being starved for light, grew rapidly straight and tall like spears. At about 60 years they were carefully peeled, and since then have put on another 60 years of callous growth around the peeled catface. If you look at these CMTs, -all on the up-hill side of the trees, to my eye, they look like perfect canoes, -all you have to do is fall the tree, chip out the punky catface and voila, a great family-sized dug out with naturally grown, incredibly strong gunwhales.. It's just a theory, but my wife and I have done a lot of CMT research and I've never seen such numerous and consistent burn cavities and consistent long, straight 60 ft peels anywhere else. And of course, the colonial interpretive signage put out for the tourists mentions nothing about the clearly extensive historic FN forestry activities in the Grove.

At the end of the day though you can see what you have achieved, had a good workout and done something not a lot of other people can. By the time you get home it seems all worthwhile and you can give it another go tomorrow. By the time you fall over though its time to go home.

You can only determine such a risk from your past experiences. Also factoring in the extent of, if any live growth exists, as well as the site specific growing conditions environment factors. Sometimes you have to begin and proceed with a climb just to get the feel of a tree, knowing full well that you may reach a point where it doesn't feel safe to continue. And so you get back down and think up an alternative plan.
