A lot of older loggers like to put the body of the saw down and start their back cut on their left side as seen in this video. A couple reasons they did this was to avoid excessive movement around the tree or because the footing on that side was better. Also they used 1" or less hinges even on 5' trees.

You need to know the FS requires all stumps to be three foot high per their safety regs. Me lower the better. This guy is pro,he is only doing what the FS regs allow a sawyer to do, Yes this is weird way to drop a tree,

@highcountrytimber Sorry. But I have learned from my grandpa that a 1' stump is saftey since he has been cutting trees for a long time, longer than this douche. And it also leaves less fuel for the fire to burn, less the better. He has done some forest firefighting and a lot of logging thou he was in the air force. So this guy needs some more learning to do.

This is just a quick way to get a tree down. The guy is going by the rule. 3' foot stumps are done for safety.

@n1ztb ya it might be that old, though it says 2004 in the description.. if its old and out of date, they should say so. Still a nice video.. some good tips..

@murphy4trees I wonder how old the original video is; looks like early 80's maybe. And yeah, I generally start the back cut on the other side, too, unless I'm plunging and working my way around.

Old habits die hard. Nice video demo, BUT the technique shown for cutting the notch is old school. It was painful to watch. Making the top cut first, as per Game of logging, will be a lot faster easier, and much less chance of making a mistake, especially for newbies. I also almost always start the backcut with the tree to my right, though I've noticed most loggers cut as you do, with the body of the saw facing down. I prefer to start form the other side and will plunge cut most bigger trees
