  • i like this. Im studyin for landscaper/sawer.. And yes, indeed, im a women :P

  • that was a nice job , i didn't get the part where he was on the other side of the tree sawing back towards the wedge though maybe he made a bore cut and he was just cutting it back through?

  • very well done

  • NO PIE ?? hummmmmmm

  • haha everyone likes your axe holster daddy =]

  • I like the holster for the axe.

  • The guy whos cutting that tree should be buried alive

  • @LgGerminator Why do you say that I thought he did a pretty decent job.

  • @880CHEVYMAN Your destroying your world your planet, your home, why dont we legalise hemp for paper, fiber, oil, food, why do we must keep mining cole and depleting the planets oil and destroying nature basicaly? Why dont we all get solar panels and wind turbes and just grow our own food and get off the grid? You know every time you buy ANYTHING your putting money in the war machine right? same goes for taxes!

  • @LgGerminator Damn hippy. Why don't you just run off into Mid Wales somewhere, live in you're Tee pee, cut yourself off from this grid you hate so much and keep you're teenage conspiracy theories on the economics of the world to you're hippy, fairy dancing mates.

  • @LgGerminator well before Im buried alive, you might want to know this tree was cut on a tree farm not a old growth forrest land set aside to grow trees for harvest.at some time in the future we may have no need for as many wood products but that day is not here so i feel good about the way we do thing by takeing the pressure off old growth and less stable ecosystems.but if you still want me to die a horrable death well i live in america and you have a right to that dream here.

  • @chainsawman34 First of all I live in europe and no I dont want you to die a horrible death but, CANT U FIND SOMETHING ELSE 2 DO?

  • @Lg Terminator I could,but to be honest I don't want to.I have spent a life time perfecting timber falling skills,and the trees i do fall i want to be used to it's full extent.It take years to learn to fall trees and not waste or break wood.I know you see me as a enemy of the land but i'm sure if you understood the enviromental restriction we work under you would see i'm tring to be a good stuart of the land.I live and play in this great northwest woods and have no want or need to see it gone.

  • @LgGerminator i think you should be burried alive..why on earth would you say something like that..that man is my dad and the best dad in the world...him falling that tree put food in my belly.my dad doesnt get to decide whether or not hemp is legal, im sure you wipe your ass with toilet paper just like the rest of society so why be such a hipocrite trees need to be cut down and somebody has to do it just because you are not man enough to do it yourself doesnt give you the right to judge

  • @813Bethany ur right, I dont have the right to judge and its not up to ur dad for hemp to be legal, but einstein said no problem ca be solved at the level it was created, and your dad is contribuing to the level that the problem is created, I mean rly, cant he find another job???

  • @LgGerminator He probably could have when he was younger but probably not one that would have supported his family the way that man has supported us my whole life. where we live logging makes up a HUGE part of our economy. It cant just go away without our whole community being effected. i understand how you feel but think about what your saying before you say it because you kinda made yourself look like an ass with the whole burried alive comment

  • @LgGerminator Hell, when i make my second million dollars from falling, maybe I could venture out and buy a hemp plantation and save the world. Lol! Those of us that still can fall timber, and do it well, are going to keep doing it. Not because it is incredible money, either. You might not realize just how difficult it is to find a good job, or raise a family. I have a great pride not to be on welfare and food stamps. Can you say the same?

  • @813Bethany Hell it's self has no fury like my lil Girl when she is pissed

  • @chainsawman34 hell ya daddy nobody gets to talk about you like that =] i remember when i was little and you topped the tree in our back yard.....if you wouldnt have done that it could have fell on our house...i think that its great thing that you do what you do =]

  • @LgGerminator why cause he cut down a tree?? wtf you think your homes made from?

  • @LgGerminator Most countries who deal with forresting also have replantation laws. In Denmark there is a requirement that if you cut something down, you must plant something else on that area. Bet Germany does too.

  • GREAT JOB DADDY !!! your the best i wish i was that cool....oh wait i am just ....just kidding....I love you daddy !!! - goo

  • Crap log. All branches all the way.

  • You can tell this guy has done this a lot. At one point just before he doubles up the wedges he is looking, waiting because the tree is close to going. Then he doubles up the wedges, hits it a few times, and it goes over. Good job on this tree.

  • lecnec6 lol u only need an escape route if u notch the tree wrong!

  • @kinghowie8 You have heard this alot from your teachers , but you have to hear it once more. WRONG AGAIN Howie !

  • Comment removed

  • @maxhole2  lol i know just trying to be funny, i guess i wasnt lol

  • All-so this individual has much difficultly lifting the chainsaw. Also, the material cut after going to the other side of the tree should have been done in the beginning before ever starting the tree. Also would imagine this individual had not cut out 2escape routes 45 degrees from the felling direction of the tree. etc ,,etc.

    Baseline: improper technics. Consult a professional in tree felling.

  • Did you read a book ,well your author is a bigger fool than the reader.I Have been cutting timber for over twenty years, and this was a perfect job.The material you refered to had to be removed only after the tree is wedged up enough to keep the back weight of the tree from allowing to baberchair over backwards.Find a better book before you comment on things.

  • @lecnec6 dumb ass

  • Improper cutting technics and applications in this video, consult a professional on for proper tree felling.

  • too bad there wasn't any audio. That was the reason I wanted to watch this video....to hear the saw roaring and the sound the tree made when it fell.

  • hello, the video shows antwort our Easter in Attendorn. each year of the four unite a tree beaten Easter Sunday at the combine the jobs to be kindled.

  • timber falling and arbor work is completly differant. both take skill.ive done both.timber fallers arent arborists andarborists arent timber fallers.what matters is who makes the most money for what ya got into it and if ya like your job...

  • TIMMMMBERRRRR

  • Sweet. 5*

  • Nice job :}

  • Very big tree

    :)

  • i work for a tree compnay in michigan and we have taken down trees bigger than that in backyards over houses

  • yeah, but arborists aren't loggers... or fallers

  • @logger089

    Arborists are tree hugging hippie liberals and they should all go back to California

  • no video no proof to what you are saying is true. "AeroGMC"

  • u want 12 hours of video? ill give you proof

  • Yes please. I love watching tree felling. I enjoy it greatly. If you put some on Youtube I will look for them.

  • any one looking for a truck driver

  • well I'm sure a arborist from dublin would know more about the logging practices of a west coast timber faller far better than the man doing the work.don't let your arrogance over ride your ass cuz then shit has only one place to go , out you mouth.

  • You know what i hate about this, even though i cut down trees myself, the fat bastards that cut trees down don't replace them by planting cuttings, its very sad

  • Well this tree was cut on a tree farm and the land has already been replanted all logging permits now say you must replant unless the land is for comercial development so comment on what you know.

  • amm, who are you and how do you know that information?????/, second of all my son, was i taking about the tree in this video?????/ NOPE, so comment on what you know sunny boy

  • im the one falling the tree thats how i know im also the one with the contract with simpson tree farm and i have been in this biss 22 years so again coment on what you kno

  • "biss"????????????????, hmm english maybe??, 22 years tooo long, you clearly dotn know what your talking about, even a second rate aborist knows to keep the tree cycle going, i doubt any such contract exists

  • 202, you're hopelessly townbound and don't get around much. Every state has a comprehensive forestry code which requires minimum restocking levels. Sometimes the levels of various-size trees, saplings, or seedlings are already adequate following logging; sometimes it requires a replant. In any case, the operator is on the hook for adequate restocking for a number of years following entry.

    Now go back to your Elm trees.

  • go back to mcdonald's

  • @Paitro202 um your retarded you know nothing 

  • grat video, good work.

    nebilone

  • I just bought a new scope has a 2000 meter range YA!!

  • sweet man

  • bet that made the ground shake. I love falling big trees. hella rush when it hits.

  • yall need to throw those wedges away i dont need them hey give me a job yall got any videos on tha skidders

  • bad ground breaks wood wedges save wood just a cutting contract and if you don't use wedges well don't think you would work out.

  • Bad ground breaks wood wedges help save wood and well if you don't use wedges I don't think you would last very long you would die or need to be fired.

  • That was a great video.

  • 300 Years to repleace this one ... :(

  • trees must grow real slow where your at here on the wash coast a 300 year old tree is a hell of a lot bigger than this

  • @ginkos23

    maybe 70

  • poor tree how about trying to replace that one. Be safe.

  • sorry not in the replacement bizz.but if it helps i'm sure it felt no pain.hey thanks for worrying about my safty.but really this tree was second growth and many were planted to replace it.this ground is on a 80 year rotation so someone else can trip over my stump when it is logged again.

  • perfect hinge.. :)

    cool video dude.

  • Hi carnalito, if most of the invasive removals you do are the size of the Euc in your video, you might be able to do what I do on Eucs up to about 2-2.5 feet dbh. I use 2 or 3 plastic wedges from pouch or back pocket driven by a BIG steel wedge I keep in my front pocket. cut off 8 pounder or 4 pound single jack is near in case needed. Driving with the steel wedge works great, it sliek a handle-less single jack!!!!!

  • Iuse a cut off 8 pounder on anything about that sizeLOL. it went down like a fire burned tree, you got to have a very thin hinge to get them down when they are burned. Was this a fire tree?

  • No it just leaned hard so i cut it up tight to wedge easyer

  • Wish there were more trees like that for you to cut down...So now what???? Try Brazil's rain forest.

  • Reminds me of my summer job as a boy; pounding wedges for my dad. He paid me $50 a day. Great video.

  • That was a BEAUTIFUL hinge - nice job. And bugger the "high lift wedges", don't change a thing :) Note to ghk - sounds like less leverage and a good way to get a wedge in the kisser (been there).

  • Thanks .And i have to agree about the wedges got the scars to prove it.

  • Gota love those sky bound trees!!

  • try high lift wedges, it's alot less work!

  • cool, wish there was some audio

  • Was wondering where you got the pouch for the axe. Thanks Steve

  • Harbor saw and supply aberdeen wash

  • Thanks

  • yeah i noticed that....we dont have them in England....bloody good idea. I'd like one for a small 4lb club hammer.

  • What about madsens? those guys are awesome!

  • Madsens are a good shop, but i go to Harbor saw prices are close some over some under. I like the personal touch i get there.But service saw has the best saw hop up job.Just a opinion!

  • I agree: buy local when you can! I just like Madsens because I tramped around so much for Columbia, and other outfits all over the country. I really liked Madsens when I was working in Alaska.

  • No dought they really take care of you when you tramp i worked for columbia about ten years ago and got everything from them

  • Good old CHI! How long did you work for them? What bullbucks did you work for? I worked for them all together around seven years. Every state in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and even Florida. It was crazy all the traveling I used to do. I kind of miss it though. Who are you working for now?

  • two years can't rember all the bull bucks but i worked with joe hensen skip binge paul jabloncky or something like that got tired of not seeing my family so i went to work for mark carter out of montesano.

  • What was the size of this biggun?

  • Not a real big one just under three foot on the stump but it had good height i got 3 40 foot logs and a 26 out of the top

  • So how do i start falling?

  • first you need to find someone to break you in most cutters start off logging

  • i run the skidder and load and buck logs

  • Cool video - I like the hatchet-in-the-metal-pouch idea. I just started dropping trees for a local conservation authority - felling can be quite a chore at times, and always dangerous - so much to learn!

    Are those wedges plastic or wood?

  • they are plastic and yes it is been killing trees for 21 years

  • i wish logging was all still chainsaws and i still had a job bucking.

  • yeah to bad i heard the story today god his poor dad trying to keep him alive for that long.have not heard of anything here lately but i will listen harder.you know mark carter?

  • no i dont. i just started working for ENB out of chehalis running cat skidder. most of our crew is from raymond and pe ell.

  • I work around raymond quite a bit broke up ground down there good thing all the tall timber is gone

  • we've been working the kapawsin tree farm for a while and by the time my knee's healed and go back to work we'll be in morton then raymond area for the winter. i dunno if my knees going to handle working around the tower and there wont be cat work so i guess im looking for an outfit that needs a shovel or skidder operator

  • no kidding?! i was born there but been living in sequim for 30 years. my brother lives in monte and im down there all the time. know anyone who's looking for an operator or faller? the guys name was shain keys.

  • great fall. where in wa? i log on the olympic peninsula. did you hear about that logger that died last week out in Forks? 23 years old.

  • montesano just south. No Who i worked in forks for 7 years. But have not talk to anyone up there for a couple weeks.

  • Where's the sound? So nobody else is as disappointed as I was, please just read this: Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk!!!

    RRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk!!!!

    Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sorry recorded with digital camera so no sound

  • Nice job, but here in Tas we don't make the final cut standing on the bottom side, and don't let the tree tip without looking up as it goes...oh- and we don't use bars that are three times longer than necessary!!

  • we do make the final cut where the pressure is greatest after it is weged up tight so we don't chair over backwards and kill us we get in the clear and watch so we don't die and 20 years say that a 28 in bar is not to long for that timber

  • I guess you need to come over here and show us how its done!

  • where is over here ?

  • Good old U.S.A! I was just telling that to the guy from tasmania who was commenting on our long bars.

  • I used to fall for a Yankee contractor in Tasmania, and when I asked him why they always use such long bars in the US, he didn't know....He said when he first came out here he used long bars, and when his workers asked why the they needed to be so long, he had no idea..Cause that's just what we always use was his answer. And has since used the shortest bar needed to do the job. Why the fk would ya wanna carry the extra weight and put your saw so outta balance?!!!

  • The bigger the tree, the longer the bar! A lot of guys use longer bars so they are not bent over all the time, especially in limby timber. I usually ran a 32" bar on either a 394, or an 066, and it was always well balanced, also I was usually in big enough timber that if I would have ran anything shorter, the extra time it took to get a tree down would have cost me money. Usually if I needed a longer bar it would be mounted to my 088.

  • True. It just SEEMS that overall you guys run bars on the longish side

  • Oh sorry I guess those comments did not load,or I did not see them.I have been cutting timber on the pacific coast for 20 years and a 28 inch bar is not to big for this timber.maybe he has never had to cut on steep ground,streching around like gumby to get the far corner of a 8 foot fir,or tryed to buck the low side of that same fir with out crawling under it.but then again I don't know the situations under which he has to cut so maybe i should not comment on it in a negative way.

  • Umm....how bout you came here? It ain't all goin down in the US mate

  • Yes it is too going down here, the timber industry is; straight down the tubes. I would love to come over there! I have a friend who lives in New Zealand, who said that he could get me a falling job...so maybe I will, then you and I can exchange techniques.

  • textbook drop. very nice cut. just like how we do it here in BC. well done.

  • thank you and you guys up in BC be safe huh

  • thanks, man. right back at you. btw i think you're right as the rain about the 28" bar.

  • i dont have any sound with this video :(

  • Whens the next one coming out(video)!  Need any help out your way?WT

  • the good lumberjack iam wos,s spanis my frean

  • perfect!!!!!! great job

  • nice mate, tell me u american??

  • yes

  • that cut looked bang on, good work.

  • that was an awesome vid and a huge tree

  • i like guys who piss and moan about cuttin trees.. ever try wipein your ass with plastic ...

  • No sound? was that area burnt?

  • filmed with a digital camera so no sound. no it was not a burn.

  • the only good tree is a stump and i make lots of good trees so piss off you treehuggin granola munchin grenny lil shit.everyone uses wood products every day then questions where they come from.

  • keep cuting down trees hate trees n greeny cunts

  • You can almost feel the ground shake :P

  • i always bore cut before wedgin... wtf..??

  • cuting the heart out will help it wedge easyer but in this case i wanted the full hinge because of the heavyback and side lean there are alot of dollars in that tree so i like to make sure i hit my shot!!!

  • you have a very good felling technique, you sure know what you are doing, keep up the good job. the pouch for your felling ax, can you buy it somewhere or you made it? it seems handy and convenient

  • you can buy them in most saw shops here in wash

  • from start to finish, how long did it take you to bring this tree down? also I noticed some rotation on the tree as it fell, was your holding wood even across your cut?

  • start to finish 7 to ten min the rotation you seen was from a small piece of wood put in the face cut to help it fall against it's natrual lean.

  • Hey BB its WT Norton! Goatmen of the Black Hills are calling you! Be safe out there, when the next Bear Hunt? Take Care!@#

  • hey goat man good to here yah

  • Hope things are going good for ya! Might be out your way shooting some high dollar footage this summer. I'll let you know. Be safe, WT

  • good job

  • awesome

  • cool
