@highcountrytimber I am a C Faller with the FS as well, what these guys are doing is nowhere near dangerous. I really saw nothing that would even need a C Faller to do anything on. Most of the things they are felling are so straightforward. If you are a Hazard tree faller then you must have done something highly dangerous at some point to fell a hazard tree. If you haven't you didn't have the experience needed to do your job. It's all a learning experience.
OMG. idiots with chainsaw. total disregard for personal and team member safety. this is why we have trained loggers for this work on fire lines, not chainsaw hacks. you guys make those in the fire service that take pride int here work look bad. i am retired forest service hazard tree faller and what you guys are showing is against most of the recommend ways of falling trees. on bad thing about this video is you all are acting like animals in the zoo.
At 3:20 hes cutting with one hand and his tip is just short of a small log. Not smart. That wedge wont stop it if it comes back. Dont let the superintendent see that.
At 5:40 is fucking awesome

Fellas. People knowingly do things outside of the "norm". But posting without carefull editing, not such a good idea.
