I guess from my time at arb' college in the UK that those big 'fell to waste' trees have to be taken down to safeguard the future crop. Leaving a big nasty tree without wind firm cover is going to mean its fall will be hastened and it will potentially take out a heap of the next generation or even be a hazard to the tree planters that follow who tend to do their work during the nastiest weather. A lot of folk are under the impression every rotten tree is a wildlife safari park but the truth is most are not really home to anything. The rotting lop and top on the other hand produce lots of biological activity and in a few years will be home to countless bacteria, fungi, insects and small mammals that prey on them and in turn the bigger more iconic animals folk associate with such beautiful places such as owls, cats,martens and apex predators. The rotten waste in turn fertilises the new growth attracting deer and so the whole story ends and begins afresh. Clear fell looks bad to outsiders but is really just a new chapter in the book of life. Just the opinion of an older Scottish guy laced with a bit of science. Others may have their own opinions and are of course perfectly entitled to them. Regards to all from Scotland.

28:30. Cutting a sloping log (non-horizontal) typically gives rise to the problem of a stuck blade as we see here. That’s gravity at work here! The solution is to cut the log at a slight angle toward the downward-sloping side of the log. That way the gravity will pull the downward-sloping side of the log away from the upward-sloping side of the log, thereby clearing a gap in the cutting side of the saw that will create a reasonable gap for better cutting.

I learned the lesson of watching for falling limbs tge hard way. I cut down a tree, as it was falling i stepped back under a different tree and watched for around a minute till everything had quit moving, i took one step and a piece of wood about 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches long hit me right in the top of the head. This was way back when wearing hardhats was not that common. Chipped my front teeth and gave me a dull headache. Went and bought my first hardhat the next day.

At least in urban areas as a residential situation, a big healthy tree is a hazard. Only cause it’s healthy for now, but it’ll be big til the day it falls. It sucks but I often have to remove completely healthy trees because of their size. They’re near houses, schools, in between huge sections of street plumbing, in between wires, name it... and people just don’t get it why it’s so expensive to do this stuff. They really don’t. They see us trim bushes and think that’s all we do lol. But anyways...the bigger it gets, the harder it hits. And it’ll fall eventually.

Previously, on BB: "I fell this walk log for my partner ..." Today, on BB: "Well, since it's here I might as well use it ..." :D Edit; What I find particularly hilarious regarding the clear cut policy - that tree could have continued to produce seed for quite a few more years, speeding up the recovery time for the forest. While that's not a huge issue out in BC due to the ridiculous re-growth rate, it is an issue in my neck of the woods. Due to our climate and soil, trees grow incredibly slow. And yet the gov't allows clear cutting. In fact, we just had a snowmobiler die and the clear cutting was a contributing factor. There was supposed to be a 'wildlife corridor' / windbreak left intact, and the logging company clear cut it. Dude got into white-out conditions where white-outs never happen.

Enjoyed your video, but I'm puzzled by a couple of things. I felled timber in the mountains of north Idaho for 7 years and I would've been fired the first day for a mess like you left there. The Forest Service required us to leave stumps no higher than 12" on the uphill side. I see you leaving stumps several feet high. When I tipped a tree over, I immediately went down to work it up - cut the snipe off the butt, limb 3 sides and buck into log lengths. I didn't see you do that. Also, it's not a precise business, but I worked hard to lay trees parallel to each other and across the hillside. Yours looked like a pile of pick-up-sticks.
