20 year old Mitch Morrow cutting old growth like a 20 year veteran with his Stihl 661 Clearwater Saw

[@Jamestreeman]

I am confident I could NOT have done it better. Outstanding tradesmenship

[@jaysontaylor71]

Great to see there are still a few young ones that know what hard feels like. Nice job handling that saw and dropping that big guy. Be proud of yourself.... Most 20 year olds wouldn't even know how to start a chainsaw non the less operate one. Thanks for sharing and keep the videos coming. The positivity is refreshing.

[@stevet8121]

Hi Don. What a different time it was indeed. In the early 70's I was Cat logging old growth Redwood for Simpson Timber Co. in northwest California. Logging never leaves my blood.

Hi Don. I was cat logging old growth redwood back in the early 70's in northwest California for Simpson Timber. Logging never leaves the blood. Those were different times, for sure.

[@watchman4j]

Nice deep face, no corrections needed. Perfect back cut. Sharp chain and hot saw kept right up with this gentle leaner. NO sliver pull, and fair enough hinge wood to hold it into the lay. That tree was growing for decades, and our creator knew the day and the men ( Mitch and his filming partner) who enjoy the harvest. Thanks so much for taking time to share this! BTW there's still plenty of wilderness and riparian zones for the remaining old growth. This unit has been planted, and 40-80 yrs from now another cycle will be thinned and eventually harvested again.

[@JohnnyIDive37]

Nice knock down Mitch, true pro! About how many board feet in a tree that size Pat?

[@StihlSlinger661]

I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of about five bushel. I sure appreciate you taking the time to watch I'll try to let Mitch know.

For the people out there saying that it's sad cutting Old growth, or second growth or whatever, it's an art!! Not just something that can be done by anyone. And to us, it is something to be very proud of, especially when you walk out alive at the end of the day

Well your an idiot then. A pro tree faller watches the top of the tree when cutting it because thats where the danger is. Shit falling. Duh. That kid will be dead by age 22 for not looking up. Safety is always number 1 and that kid wasnt real safe just for the fact he didnt watch the top of the tree instead he looked down at the cut almost the entire time. Thats not the way to do it. Watch the top of the tree

And that's why you have no friends. Grow up

[@StihlSlinger661]

Hopefully, you're a better cutter than a person. Bad mouthing a young aspiring cutter on social media says bushels about your character.

[@trapf2698]

When you have to post videos for attention your probably not that good. Looked like he was cutting on the back yard. Nothing special about cutting that tree. Please don't share any more videos

[@StihlSlinger661]

I don't post them for attention. I posted one for fun. Then figured out I could make money posting videos doing what I love, so I kept at it. I don't post them for validation or attention. I need neither. I know what I am, and that's a very talented timber faller with my share of demons. Even if someone doesn't like me, they can't deny my skill. I worked damn hard at it by showing respect to all of my colleagues, not just the top hands. My Dad told me that even the worst cutter knows at least one thing worth knowing. I asked questions and studied chains & spent countless hours in the saw shop fine tuning my grinder. I'm still learning and always welcome any insight from anyone willing to spend a minute chatting. For you to say I'm not good at what I do is laughable. Not sure why I'm wasting my time with this. You might whip me in a fistfight you might smoke me in a footrace, you might even be able to out spell me, but you will never be able to best me up the hill cutting timber and do as good of a job as me because you lack the one basic ingredient necessary to be in the top tier of timber fallers. It's respect. Hopefully you found this useful. If not.... I tried.

[@trapf2698]

I was cutting old growth bigger than that and better than that when I was 12 years old so I'm not impressed

Dont forget to look up young man

[@trapf2698]

Im surprised at all the pisitive comments people give on this. He should have been watching the top of that tree when cutting. Quite often things fall from the top. That kid would be dead. Any real pro watches the top of the tree. This kid gave a few short glances at the top and continued watching the cut the whole time. Safety should be number 1 and if you have any kind of a clue as to tree falling you would know this. This kid gonna get clobbered over the head and be done tree falling by the age of 22 if he dont learn to look up more

I wonder, the smaller log laying in the way that was cut to be moved out of the way and the small tree stump, why were these not moved away from the tree being cut down. I've been taught first make sure the area surrounding a tree being cut down is free of any hazard that blocks escape of the Sawyer.

Hundreds of years, thousands of years, done in a second and you are excited about it?! Thre wont be any reason to go outside if there is nothing to see. It will also be too hot to go out. All the big trees will be gone then what will you do? Cut down the twigs that will be left? Let me ask you. Do you go to parks? Like national parks? Do you go camping? Do you really not enjoy nature and have respect for the world around you? Or at least respect for other people and how you are degrading THEIR lives? Without asking. This video is two years old, it’s 2022 now. Do you think you are helping or hurting in the world we now find ourselves in? I’m not a “treehugger” I live in a city and have no experience with nature. I just know “bad” when i see it. It makes me sick to see those huge trees on trucks. You will literally have to cut down newer trees when these are gone so why not leave some? For everyone else who happens to like them.

Trees are a renewable resource. Try leaving the city, and you'll see how much wood there really is.

[@cle_roknn3742]

I enjoy the National Parks where preservation is the point. I also enjoy nature, hunting, fishing and clean water. I’m also a forester and was a logging supervisor. I understand something your missing: you consume or utilize wood products every day, so does society. Houses need framing and sheathing, most people use toilet paper, we write in notebooks, print contracts on paper, brush our teeth (lignin is what makes toothpaste paste). All those things literally grow on trees, trees that need to be cut to support man’s insatiable appetite. We replant those areas and the cycle begins again, this is not an end, most likely trees will be planted in this one’s place. We can and should preserve some areas, but others need to be utilized for higher and better uses, that tree probably grows at a rate of 3% per year, younger trees grow at rates 2-5x that rate, producing more oxygen, sequestering more carbon and fulfilling stand the succession cycle present in Mother Nature. You might dislike this, but as you said you live in a city, lumber is something you buy from a hardware store, there is quite a path that it took to get there and it’s worth taking a little time to explore just what goes into timber production.
