  • With eight Douglas, for spars to fall guilty of treason and game of trees, put their best effort toward demonstrating the fine art of the Humboldt filling technique. Come along and share the experience of these nearly unedited demonstrations that are sprinkled with some good camaraderie and friendship, and a few “atta boys”. 😀 don’t forget to visit www.gameoftrees.com where all of your purchases help support our Guatemala project.

    Nice video i love doing Humboldt's very nice cuts guys... I thought i saw you working today in a spider lift by the lake. Would be an honor to meet you some day. Work safe guys.

    Height difference between the top of the Humboldt and the back cut:
    In Denmark we don't use Humboldt a lot, but we have a height difference between the back cut and the bottom of the initial cut. That gives a much more flexible hinge - the fibres last much longer, and you can control the tree better.

      Good tips

    • @BR3DDAM
      @BR3DDAM Před 6 měsíci

      If you're milling the tree, it's also important to pull out fibres from the stump and not the stem. The height difference secures that. A mature tree is normally felled with a height difference of 5 cm ~ 2 inches.
      Thanks a lot for your channel, Kevin! I'm learning a lot about tree work i USA and also about climbing which is not my domain ;)

    The hinge wood on that first tree looked a little skimpy. Does having a pull line at the top let you go deeper with that back cut? I am just a home owner watching youtube videos so I don't crush my house or barn when I cut a tree down. So far so good. 1 for 1.

    • @GameofTrees
      @GameofTrees  Před 6 měsíci +1

      That would not have been sufficient hinge Wood for a full tree. This was a standing spar of about 40 feet, which doesn’t require as much hinge Wood to remain..

    Good way to burn up a saw running a dull chain. That sprocket is probably pretty hot.

    • @GameofTrees
      @GameofTrees  Před 6 měsíci

      Sprockets are easy to switch compared to square filed chain. He was making sure he was past the problem before risking another square filed chain.

    • @runtimmytimer
      @runtimmytimer Před 6 měsíci

      @@GameofTrees I get it but you heat the chain, transferring heat to the sprocket, transferring heat to the crank burning up the needle bearing. I’d risk wasting another chain rather than risking burning up the saw.

      Jacob actually had another chain for that one at home if I remember correctly. I liked the 500i. His was ported, of course. I think every saw he has is ported.

"Uh...I forgot to shut the saw off so you could hear the wood tearin". . You hit a piece of metal at 4' on a tree trunk in a backyard!!! Just a giant surprise there.
