@Real1shepherd why do people feel the need to add all of their Expertise’s ? shit everyone is an expert on u tube. no one died tree looked undamaged = good harvest. have at it nice job nice video

[gypsy8844]

@pbteamobey yeah, it kind of amazes me too. I'm tickled that Real1Shepherd thinks

I'm "young" haha. That's funny! I fell for 25 years. After some consideration, I think what he's calling "stump shot" is what we on the BC coast call "step" and it's expected to be something like 1 to 2". , Flush butt cuts were preferred but no faller wants to re-trim. Total waste of time. I've never ever heard the term "stump shot", so I'd say he's not from around here.

Dropping the saw is neither here nor there....nobody says anything about no hinge wood or sufficient stump shot. He just kept going with his back cut until the tree leaned. That may work some of the time, but when not, you die.

@Real1shepherd ........look at little closer....... the hinge on that cedar tree is more than sufficient and it's complete across the entire undercut. "Stump shot"?? That's a new one on me. Can't say I ever heard that term used on the west coast. Where do you log?

[wileyx666]

if he put 2 small sidecuts eitherside of the wedge direction cut he would not have pulled wood and saved more timber

[gypsy8844]

@wileyx666 .............what the "f" are you talking about? I've been falling timber for 25 years and I'm hear to tell you, you don't make side cuts in anything except trees that are leaning out past 45 degrees.

Too stupid to get a real job?

What's a real job, sitting behind some particle board cubicle in an industrial park in some shithole town, living in a shitty apartment, eating Lean Cuisine night after shitty night?

I think being out there in the woods beats 99% of all jobs out there

said the guy sitting there with his pc on a WOOD desk in a WOOD framed house. go save a fucking whale you sissy.

Nice to see your still around nasbe.I amazed with all these coments.I guess its better having these posers sitting around the computer judging than have them in the bush for us to pack out because they cant improvise safely on the go.Grab her by the flabby folds and commence to lace her up like an old cork boot....

@Alcatrazz87 Any labouring job is hard work. E.G Brick laying.

[pbteamobey]

continued... @gypsy8844 people over time end up doing things in their own way. i have my things i do and you have yours. both work both are safe when WE!! do them becasue thats just the way we do it. maybe Real1shepherd has his own 1'-2' step rule. the kid has his ways you and i have ours.

-cheers ill try to post my felling vids

@gypsy8844 i cant saw im no expert but im 18 and i have been working with large saws (i currently have a 385xp...gotta love ebay $400) for about a year and i have a certain way of doing things. Many of my customers that "supervise" me don't agree with. i make my wedge cut with my own little way of doing it (people mistake my constant checking as a sign that i might not know what im doing, i also use plunge cuts on a more frequent basis than they are use too.

in short i was trying to say that.

[Alcatrazz87]

fuck you lil cunts. TimberJacks 4 life. We' re the only species who work real hard.

@Real1shepherd funny how i dont see any videos of you falling, oh wait you probally dont and just some guy who read a tiny bit and thinks he knows it all, fallers on bc's coast are true fallers, who are you to give a letter and make up shit some a-hole on the internet i say, saw backwords wtf lol have you ever falled big wood on bc's coast like that, they know what theyre doing not you, good day

[Real1shepherd]

@Real1shepherd Stump shot is the vertical measured distance of the hinge wood. I can't see all of your face cut, but it looks like you have zero or little stump shot. You're young and you're probably doing your own thing with falling. Normally, on a tree of that size you'd have about 3-5inches of stump shot. You also have your saw upside down on the back cut. Like using a Cresent wrench backwards to remove a bolt. Works, but you're working against the tool.
