This was a big timber sale in Strawberry Valley, California. A lot of sugar pine in this part of CA. This tree was barely over 100 years old. Fast growing stuff.
Well...I take off my hat in face of such wonderful craftsmanship.... not only is he a great lumber jack....he seems to be in total unison with his saw -listen how he handles the revs - how little he works against the clutch-how he gives the saw time to breathe after tough cuts..... And at the end...he knew before the tree,that it falls - so impressing.... This man is an artist -truly is.... Thank you very much for posting this video...
I love all these guys scoring the cuts. Been a logger for thirty years about 100 miles south of this guy. First, it isn't a notch. It's the undercut; in this case a Humboldt. Second, if you look at the cuts before it falls and disregard the remnants of the hinge sticking up afterward, the backcut is just about flush with the undercut which in the real world is what we, the operators and landowners want; low stumps and flush butts. Could the backcut have been an inch or two higher? Yeah. Does it make a practical difference in the real world? No, as one can see by the results. If the tree had severe lean or catface or other defect then it would be a different matter. And getting an undercut out clean on a four or five foot tree is not easy and more often than not requires some ax work to knock it out, which is preferable to overcutting when trying to get it out clean and wrecking the hinge point. Considering his work on that size of tree this guy could have worked for me with no complaints.
Humboldt .... Look it up ya shit talkers.... And take a lesson. This was a good cut/ job! Ya sniveling ...patie wasted sum bitches would wet your dipers on a five footer.... Ya'll a bunch of jack wagons! Go read a book ya sissy's ... Leave the real work to the big dogs and stay on the porch where ya belong....ladies!
The big trees are needed for some cover for the pot farmers...man. But I'm all about ... Let it grow... Let it grow! So, drop them big sum bitches!@! Hell Yeah!!!! Get er' done!!! Trees grow back... It's good stewardship and dambnabbit hard work to maintaining a nice grove of timber....man! I spend countless hours wondering threw woods and forest chopping poison ivey and other vines so they can't continue to wreck there havoc on the trees canopies. I'm a major tree hugger...and I actually get out there and make their lives better...man! I just hate shit for brains talking shit on subjects they know nothing about....and saying bad things about guys working hard and doing great work ....working a great resource. Almost all toilet paper comes from those quick grow pines in north Florida....that's why they grow them.... So all the coutch potato opinionated know-it-all jackwagons can whip their bungs .... LMAO!!!
I thought it was pretty cool to watch somebody do a job that knew what the fuck they were doing. I'm getting tired of watching people fuck shit up trying to do something. And for the tree huggers out there, trees are a renewable resource so how many have you planted to offset the construction of your own home?
I fell a sugar pine years ago when I was much younger….I measured it and it was 7 ft 10 across the stump inside the bark….it was up on a mountain pass in Northern California by Mt Lassen……it sure shook the ground when it hit……I miss those days….
Awesome!!! I have always wanted to see that done and this was up close and personal. Great Job! Unbelievable saw the way it went thought that tree. A lot of work for this cutter too. But he made it look truly easy. For the folks crying about it, look around your house and this is a renewable resource too. We need more of this in Oregon too and bring out mills back!! This industry employs a lot of people. Thanks for the video!!!
My Dad used to have a Tree Cutting business in Northern California around the Lake Tahoe area! "Harrison's Tree Service"! I remember as a kid I used to watch him and thought it was so cool! :) Great video!
This guy made hard work of cutting down this tree. Safety has to come first, always. The first thing to do, when cutting down any tree, is check if there is any breeze or wind blowing and determine which direction the wind or breeze is blowing. Then check where the greatest weight is on the tree top, heavy branches, etc. The next thing to consider is the escape route that the logger will take when the tree starts to fall. The loggers escape route must be absolutely clear of any debris or loose foliage. (1) The first cut at the base of the tree should go in, in a flat dead level cut, as close as possible to the ground. Any tree will remain standing, regardless of any wind, with the first cut going in up to two thirds of the way into the diameter of the tree trunk. The tree will not pinch the guide bar of the chainsaw either by going two thirds of the way into the diameter of the tree with the first cut. (2) The second cut could be started about 8" to 12" above the first cut, in a tree trunk of this size, sloping downwards to meet the end of the first cut as closely as possible, about two thirds of the way into the tree trunk's diameter. When the second cut is complete the "bird's mouth" can then be removed from the tree trunk. There is absolutely no danger of the tree falling at this point in time, regardless of any breeze or wind or any other contributing factor that may endanger the logger, unless the wind reaches gale force at which point it would not be safe for cutting down trees in any case. (3) The third and final cut should again be a flat, level cut, made about 2" to 3" below the level of the first cut at the back of the tree trunk, cutting towards the "birds mouth", ie. the wedge that has already been removed from the tree trunk. The remaining timber that is about to be cut will then take the weight of the tree and as the cut goes deeper into the tree trunk a couple of wedges can then be driven in to the third cut as a safety measure, the wedges to be spaced apart at the loggers discretion, to prevent the tree from pinching the guide bar of the chainsaw and falling back on top of the logger, should there be a shift in the breeze or the direction of any wind that may arise. On a calm day the cutting of any tree can be achieved safely, and without the aid of any wedges, if the three main cuts are made properly and if the logger has his/her mathematics on safety worked out properly. If the first two cuts are made properly and winds and weather are favourable, and if all of the first suggestions in this comment are observed to the letter, the tree should give ample warning that it is about to come down. And it will do so, ever so gently, and as straight as an arrow in the direction of where the "bird's mouth" was cut into the tree trunk at the outset, without any form of a kickback and with minimum damage to the tree trunk while the tree is falling and landing on the ground. In the meantime the logger can make his/her escape to safety, well out of the danger area when the tree finally does land on the ground. Any tree can also be manipulated to fall forty five degrees or more, left or right of it's intended line of fall. This can be achieved, only if the first cut is made properly, a flat level cut in both directions. To achieve this, one can take a section of the wedge that has already been removed from the tree's trunk and insert it in the left or right hand side of "bird's mouth" in the tree itself. For example, if the section of the wedge is placed into the left hand side of the "bird's mouth" and nailed down to prevent it from slipping out again when the weight of the tree comes down on it, the tree on it's decent will come down on the wedge and will throw itself of to an angle of forty five degrees towards the right hand side, away from the wedge and without any form of kickback from the tree trunk itself. If this operation is executed properly, it will work out exactly as it should work, not once, but every time it is attempted. This I know to be a fact because I myself have much experience in this field of work. I hope this comment will be of some benefit to somebody because it has been my experience that the following of proper procedures, keeping safety uppermost in our minds, can save lives. Thank you for reading this comment and I hope it will be to your advantage one day for having done so.
First of all your felling cut,or birds mouth in your case should only go 1/3 deep in the tree.secondly your 3rd.cut or back cut should go 2 to 3 in.higher not lower and i know because i have much experience in this line of work myself.i would like to add when we are cutting lumber for the saw mill,we make are second cut below the first cut......
ROBERT SOHM If one studies the science of felling a tree, no matter how big or small, one will come to realise that by placing the back cut three inches above the initial first cut as opposed to three inches below the initial first cut, one will find that it defeats the purpose of creating the "Hinge Effect" which will take place when the back cut is placed three inches below the initial first cut. Even Chainsaw manufacturers recommend the back cut to be placed two to three inches below the initial first cut, depending on the size of the tree in question, to enable the tree to topple over freely and to save the tree trunk from splitting thus avoiding any waste of the tree trunk due to the tree splitting upwards with the grain of the Medullary Rays of the tree itself. I have taken full and comprehensive courses on the safety and the operation of Chainsaws and I have researched this subject thoroughly. This is the way it has has been thought to me and it has stood me in good stead down through the years in the course of felling trees. The method I have described above has worked for me, not just one time, but every time I have felled a tree, be they big or small. There is no substitute for practical experience and safety must always come first. Experience has taught me that getting the basics right promotes better safety while performing an operation such as felling trees. By observing the proper protocol and procedures, one can fell any tree, regardless of it's size, in complete safety. There are many instruction manuals on this subject but a whole lot of them were written by people who have never felled a tree in their entire lives. Having said that, a proper instruction manual will advocate the method for felling trees that I have already outlined above. Thank you for your reply Robert Sohm and I suggest you give, the method of felling trees that I have briefly outlined above, a try, at least once. Respectfully Yours, Sean Taniane.
Sean Taniane You need to realize all trees are not the same! and they way you described is very undesirable in the northeastern US hardwood timber stands!! Your method can and will get you in trouble and also can destroy valuable Black Cherry, Black Walnut, White Ash, Sugar Maple, Smooth and Ruff bark Hickory and Red Oak!! Also all of our logging safety classes have denounced this method sense the 1980's!! Not saying in other species of timber in other areas your method is spot on. But it should not be used in northeastern United States!!!
dozerduff2010 It works for me every time and the method I use minimises the damage to the tree trunk itself, so why fight it. In point of fact, the method I use, does not damage the tree trunk in any way whatsoever and if you study the mechanics of it very carefully, you will see why. I fail to understand what the difference would be between trees from the 1980's to the trees we have at the present day because I was felling timber in the 1980 also but we can agree to disagree.
Sean Taniane, when you are felling trees like this one you never use a "farmer face" or "birds mouth" as you call it, you make a humbolt face cut for the purpose of saving wood, if you start taking a foot or more off each log to square the butt after its on the ground you won't have a cutting job very long on up in here the Pacific Northwest.
AlmostCirculated I believe the problem people have with this video is not that they are cutting down trees, but that they are cutting down old growth and not new growth from tree farms. Also, paper is a bad counter-argument as hemp fibers make great paper and is more sustainable and faster growing than trees.
This is a great video, very well thought out, the location of the camera and no wasted motion or minimal wasted motion. I found it fascinating, especially at the end when you hear a little snapping sound that signaled it was starting to fall; and the guy gets way far away. This guy has a lot of skills.
1. Running the saw at full throttle. 2. One hand on the saw, leveraging the tip into the cut, just letting it do it's thing 3. Sight perpendicular to the bar, to aim it. 4. Double up on the wedges with dirt in between 5. Feels when the tree is 10 seconds from falling and gets away. 6. Tree falls 10 seconds later. We just saw a master artist at work.
Dirt between the wedges? I'm thinking to make them hold each other and not get that ricochet thing that sometimes happens, sending one of them flying back out?
I liked the way your list ended. I had felt critical at one point early on, then laughed at myself. I think any man alive that loves chainsaws and the skill it takes to run one safely knows deep inside that start to finish, he just saw a master. Anyone critical probably never cut anything bigger than firewood, like myself.
It always amazes me just how effective the wedges are in supporting the entire tree and eventually forcing it over. Super clean job of cutting as evidenced by the really clean hinge after felling. I learned still more from this. Thanks.
lots of hard work there most of the people that watch these videos havnt a clue how much work is involved knocking a tree of such size , let alone the danger....TOP JOB there stumpshot well done
Don't give this guy a thumbs up! We never even got a good look at the tree. In face while he was cutting this huge sugar pine down I don't believe he looked up once.
This man certainly knows what he is doing. He calculates the stable diameter of the trunk and does not go beyond it. Then he wedges the other side for safety though a small hydraulic wedge would have made things easier. I like the manner in which he handles that axe, where the last split second, not only he accelerates the head to maximum speed but he damps the last action so beautifully. Not many people I know do that. The sound "Thud" shows that this action is perfect and cannot be any better, he certainly got the best out of that axe. I think the inertia of the tree was so large, that felling would be slow, and that he could have risked going in a little further with the first cut which would have made it easier..
we can plant new trees to replace the cut ones/old ones. not that big of a deal. also, if trees aren't used, they'll still die; even healthy ones. drought, insect infestation, a lightning hit (rare for humans but common for trees) and a hurricane can quickly turn a healthy, 100 year tree into a broken mangle of splinters. Now *_unsustainable logging_* i understand the hate for, but I commend loggers for what they do; I wouldn't have a table to type on right now if not for their work. most logging companies in the US now reforest areas they've cleared out, so it's not "disasterous" deforestation like it was in the 70s and 80s. South America and India need to plant new saplings more, but for the most part the problem has been resolved (after that, it's just a waiting game and occasionally checking plots to make sure the trees are healthy growing back.)
Trees have a life span, get old, fall, and smash stuff. "It's such a big beautiful tree, I can't bear to have it cut down." Hello thunderstorm and now it's in your living room. Glad you lived through it! Welcome to Iowa. :)
You really well said my dear friend actually trees are the real ornaments of nature but human never thaught about this.... I am really sooo sorry for that.... In the comments no body think about this... All are giving the comments in the favour of this murderer
I love this awesome sugar pine tree felling, congrats! Wow, this is just beautiful. Keep on your excellent work and don't care about those stupid comments... you ARE doing the right thing, and you are doing it very well. Love it how you've made this huge tree coming down, looking it over and over again.
Very well done. God gave man dominion over his creation. The video gave me a nostalgic feeling of my boyhood growing up on the farm. We had a plentiful oak grove that was good for pasturing hogs, supplying firewood and cutting trees for boards. You have a good eye and know your work. I am impressed. Chainsaw band?
When i was 25 i cutted a 1 meter circonferec tree with a 40 inch of stihl chainsow all by myself.that was my first time of cutting a tree and i did as this man do in this video
Wow, there really is a “science” to it. I’d love to hear you narrate this, sharing your thoughts, techniques etc.. That would be very interesting. Thank you for sharing..
Nice job! I like the part where you put dirt between the sandwiched wedges! I've never thought to stack em like that and I just added a new trick up my sleeve!
Stumps - I've watched this several times. Never get tired of it. I admire your technique and the very well maintained saw you run.
Well...I take off my hat in face of such wonderful craftsmanship....
not only is he a great lumber jack....he seems to be in total unison with his saw -listen how he handles the revs - how little he works against the clutch-how he gives the saw time to breathe after tough cuts.....

I think any man alive that loves chainsaws and the skill it takes to run one safely knows deep inside that start to finish, he just saw a master. Anyone critical probably never cut anything bigger than firewood, like myself.
Good Job Man...nice to see someone knowing what there are doing...hope some of the younger kids pick-up some of these TRADES
Very good at operating chainsaws ..
eagerly awaited the next video

It always amazes me just how effective the wedges are in supporting the entire tree and eventually forcing it over. Super clean job of cutting as evidenced by the really clean hinge after felling. I learned still more from this. Thanks.
5cm UP!
Crear tu I am not a fan but it is a little too high in the best quality 👌
lots of hard work there most of the people that watch these videos havnt a clue how much work is involved knocking a tree of such size , let alone the danger....TOP JOB there stumpshot well done
Nice Work Man 😎👍🇦🇺

MAGNIFICENT WORK !!!!
Cool. Love it
เจ๋งมากชว่ยกันทำไห้โลกร้อน
Lot of experts out there. I'm pretty sure buddy in the video knows a lot more about felling then 99% of the people critiquing.
👍🤜🤛🇧🇷
Way more exciting and informative than watching someone hug it!
That tree was beautiful
Good job mate
Great job! Sugar pine is one of my favorite woods for carving animals, etc. Wish I had about 2' x 2' x 10' of that!
Harvesting mature trees like this is what is suppose to be done the forest is a renewable resource.
Great job
Its amezing hard work you friend
The first crack I herd I'd be running further than he did. Ha ha ha. Nice job, well executed.

You made that look easy. People don't realize hw many things can go wrong. That was a surgical felling and not your first rodeo. Great video thanks!
EL AS❤️🌹❤️❤️
Don't give this guy a thumbs up! We never even got a good look at the tree. In face while he was cutting this huge sugar pine down I don't believe he looked up once.
Very skilled woodsman
Indeed a most beautiful thing Sir!
I love how you knew it would fall before it even moved
awesome...!!! thumbs up !!!
O cara é bom

This man certainly knows what he is doing. He calculates the stable diameter of the trunk and does not go beyond it. Then he wedges the other side for safety though a small hydraulic wedge would have made things easier.
I like the manner in which he handles that axe, where the last split second, not only he accelerates the head to maximum speed but he damps the last action so beautifully. Not many people I know do that. The sound "Thud" shows that this action is perfect and cannot be any better, he certainly got the best out of that axe.
I think the inertia of the tree was so large, that felling would be slow, and that he could have risked going in a little further with the first cut which would have made it easier..

Nice job man.
It creates a root response! 80yrs. Later three or four trees same single tree.
I challenge you to do another video with a similar tree using an MS170 coupled with a 26 inch bar. That would become an instant 40 hour classic video.
Yessir and to add to that let the tree be a 5 foot Bodark tree. I have one on my property that makes sparks when I trim it up.

Quando eu fo da lei muita lei vai mudar para cortar ele vai plantar e esperar crescer para cortar
Wooowww Amazing guy's 😊👌👌
The comments on this show the disconnect of people and how we get lumber
we can plant new trees to replace the cut ones/old ones. not that big of a deal.
also, if trees aren't used, they'll still die; even healthy ones. drought, insect infestation, a lightning hit (rare for humans but common for trees) and a hurricane can quickly turn a healthy, 100 year tree into a broken mangle of splinters.
Now *_unsustainable logging_* i understand the hate for, but I commend loggers for what they do; I wouldn't have a table to type on right now if not for their work.
most logging companies in the US now reforest areas they've cleared out, so it's not "disasterous" deforestation like it was in the 70s and 80s. South America and India need to plant new saplings more, but for the most part the problem has been resolved (after that, it's just a waiting game and occasionally checking plots to make sure the trees are healthy growing back.)

One man show, perfectly done.
Trees have a life span, get old, fall, and smash stuff. "It's such a big beautiful tree, I can't bear to have it cut down." Hello thunderstorm and now it's in your living room. Glad you lived through it! Welcome to Iowa. :)
suger pines in iowa?? smash what?
You really well said my dear friend actually trees are the real ornaments of nature but human never thaught about this.... I am really sooo sorry for that.... In the comments no body think about this... All are giving the comments in the favour of this murderer
Man of the job 💪
Nice video
I love this awesome sugar pine tree felling, congrats! Wow, this is just beautiful. Keep on your excellent work and don't care about those stupid comments... you ARE doing the right thing, and you are doing it very well. Love it how you've made this huge tree coming down, looking it over and over again.
I agree with you
Very well done. God gave man dominion over his creation. The video gave me a nostalgic feeling of my boyhood growing up on the farm. We had a plentiful oak grove that was good for pasturing hogs, supplying firewood and cutting trees for boards. You have a good eye and know your work. I am impressed. Chainsaw band?
Amount of old growth redwood left on the planet? About 1%. And you praise "man's dominion." You are an idiot.
Stihl.
haaaa there she blowss ,it sureis fun watchin somone who knows what they r doind lol,im a recently retired logger lol
He is a freaking skilled worker that's all I know

Wow, there really is a “science” to it. I’d love to hear you narrate this, sharing your thoughts, techniques etc.. That would be very interesting.
Thank you for sharing..

Nice job! I like the part where you put dirt between the sandwiched wedges! I've never thought to stack em like that and I just added a new trick up my sleeve!

Thanks you love
Thanhk you very much see you again
