    I don't think you can hit on safety enough I live in the middle of 500.000 acres of the allegheny national forest. I got out of high school in 1977 I have had many friends that were loggers some have died from widowmakers 1 friend had a skidder roll over on him 20 years ago a buddy was 3 weeks from retiring and a widowmaker got him he had 40 plus years as a logger I am a firewood guy not a logger. I have just touched on a few I know others that are crippled for life thats logging in Mckean county Pennsylvania. Its does seen the accident have come down in the last 10 years. Stay safe out there and keep the videos coming

    Thanks for sharing another beautiful walnut felling. Thank you for talking about safety. Seen some excellent fellers tragicly injured or ended. Many years ago knew one that dropped a tree into another tree(years b4 that). When they pulled the tree out it broke a limb off that stayed in the standing tree. He was back in the same woods years later felled all day. End of the day walking out that limb somehow fell out of the tree(from years b4) and crushed the guy. It CANNOT be stressed enough on safety and awareness of the dangers hanging above ones head out there. Keep the great videos coming man!

    You use a few techniques I’ve never used - great to still learn after all my years lol. Speaking of my longevity, I’ve known a number of loggers who are no longer living or who’ve been retired by a mishap. “Reading the tree” prior to cutting is the most important part of cutting; then gauging your surrounding environment is next. In essence, I spent more time in the pre-cut phase than in actually cutting. Keeping an eye on the kerf and eying the top during cutting can save a life. One guy doing a tabletop never looked up at the top until it was too late and the tree popped free faster than he expected and caught him before he could bail. Great video once again. I’m curious, are you harvesting any tops for your firewood?

    • @Good.Fellers
      @Good.Fellers  Před 7 měsíci +3

      We harvest a few tops on the right jobs. I pretty much only get white oak and cherry for the fire wood. I completely agree on the time spent planning before cutting.

  • @jeffdutton2500
    @jeffdutton2500 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Nice work, and great commentary. It's important to remind event the senior cutters to plan and know what to expect. Plan B is always necessary. I agree with the chaps idea, I have a few of them but don't use them because I seem to have them become more danger then save. They seem to catch on everything and make me stumble. I do wear well fitting clothes so that I don't have loose clothing try to get involved with the inherent dangers of being in the woods with a saw etc.

  • @markgoggin1015
    @markgoggin1015 Před 7 měsíci +1

    When bucking a big top like that, I always like to use a wedges. I think I can predict the way the tree will move, letting me get out of the way. Good reminders for safety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Precautions save lives, to many people complain about little safety violations and overlook the major hazards.

Pete was the same. An experienced cutter. It’s dangerous even when you are safe. I’m curious to hear what happened. It least he’s alive. Jed Walters was a shock to the tree service community on YT.

    I view chaps as optional for experienced operators and recommended for those learning to use a chainsaw. What drives me crazy is seeing the guys that cut timber with nothing but a ball cap on their heads. To me a helmet is nonnegotiable. Thanks for the videos you make. They are entertaining as well as educational.

      I personally wear a helmet and think it’s pretty intelligent to wear ear and eye protection. But I also think Every man can make his own decisions as long as he’s paying his way. Now an employee should follow bosses orders in my opinion.

      Trees have different grades of logs based off the defects on the log. The first 10 feet of that tree made a veneer grade and the rest was lumber grade.
