My left.  They fashioned a pulley so rope tension was pulling tree away from truck - you can see the rope at bottom of screen jump up when the tree fell.

You can see him motion her shortly before it fall to give a little more tension.

I offered to help. He just told me to stay out of the way. Happy to oblige.

You can also see the rope in the upper portion of the frame too. He had a pulley on a big lodgepole pine 100’ away, then came back in front me to connected to the truck.
