038 Mag II ?

@highcountrytimber There were two different Stihls in the video. The newer one is a MS 460 Magnum and I don't remember the other model (it blew up twice in 15 years of service). Honestly, I prefer Husqvarna. Having rebuilt countless of both brands, I happen to know Husky is engineered to make most service jobs much easier. Both are top notch in the field but in the shop, Husky has my vote by a mile.

Great video.

These DVD series that are available on surefirewoodsman website are filled with informative tutorials that we all can benefit from learning what and how to use trees on our homesite, off grid property, BOL, and or any other place. From using a chainsaw, to how to properly fall a tree, what kind of tree to use in projects, etc. I have learned so much in such a short time that I could have used years ago when I was cutting timber. I recommend this DVD to everyone and it should be in your BOB.

Not sure how I missed this one, but so glad I keep looking back. This video is full of great information and I appreciate all the time you have put into them. Tree Falling is indeed an art to it and we all need to learn the proper way to do so. Thanks for sharing.

Hello. Are those trees pines.. or spruces?

Is this in Montana, Idaho ...? Where are you? Thanks

[SurefireWoodsman]

@sc0186 Hi, all the smaller trees are Lodgepole (Jack) Pine. The very large ones seen in the beginning of the clip are Ponderosa Pines. The Ponderosa (Yellow) Pines first died from bark beetles and then had the tops blown out during a storm. The large tree that fell over the fence is a Spruce. Good eye, this was filmed North of Boise in Idaho.

I thought T1000 terminator was probably the only one who could cut a huge thick tree. But now I know surefire woodsman does it.

This is the best information I've ever seen on chainsaw use and felling trees. I have always been amazed at the skill and confidence a good sawman/arborists displays in felling trees. Well, SurefireWoodsman shows you the secrets and common sense methods to felling trees yourself, with a focus on safety, and what's required to get the job done, and just as importantly, what to do when things don't go as planned. I strongly recommend you get his DVD's and share them with family and friends.
