OK, take it easy. I'm a rookie faller. I was aware that it may barberchair because of the lean, but didn't expect this! Thank God I had a clear exit!!

  • I'm not sure what you guys are complaining about, as far as I can see he isn't doing anything wrong; there are alternative felling techniques which might have been safer, but there's no guarantee the tree might not have splintered anyway. Trees under stress are simply dangerous to fell.

  • @ruzaruzaruza The complainers complain, it's what they do best.

  • O' one more thing. I have fell trees 28+ years. The best guys are the ones with years of experience, never forgetting they too started somewhere, respect the rookies and don't tell you everything you're doing wrong. Listen to those who love jobs in trees and secure enough to help along the way. It wont take long to know the difference. :)

  • @dallassoftballcoach Thanks for the comment :)

  • @kenfo0 But I can't. This video happened over two years ago and I have not yet perfected my time machine that will enable me to travel back to that moment and drop the saw to prevent this repeated comment. My humblest of apologies.

  • when felling a tree on a lean it is important to continue your back cut until it starts to go over, you stopped before the tree started to hinge. You don't want to cut so fast that you cut your hinge but faster than a tree that was standing straight.

  • only prob i seen that could have went veary wrong is he ran with the saw if u look he almost fell right on the saw my broth worked with a tree job for 28 years.

  • @gaggotgaggot Did I make you mad? Aww...poor little tough guy. Go get a hug from mommy now.

  • @gaggotgaggot internet tough guys like you are so badass

  • It looks as if the tree was leaning in the direction of the fall, if he used the boring technique instead of the standard fell cut he would have avoided what happened.

  • Hey, everyone starts someplace, no one gets good without a lot of practice. Hang in there.....
