Hey Brody, everyone makes mistakes. Glad you and the Mrs. are ok. Everything else can be fixed. On the bright side, you just became a much, much better faller. I know you're going to figure out exactly what you did wrong and never do it again. Boom, you're a better faller. Also, self deprication, humility, and self reflection are some of the finest qualities a person can have. You layed it all out there for the world to see. You're a big man in my book.

Never be too proud to turn the saw off, walk to the other side. Take a step back. Smoke a cigarette. Consider your options. With a idling saw it is extremely tempting to just bite a little more out of the hinge. Trees might look like they are straight or 'definitely' lean a certain way. Not always the case - might also be bound up by a tiny branch. You walked away, most important thing.

Looks like most everyone is overwhelmingly positive... and rightfully so. The only ones who will break that trend are either arrogant as hell, or are lying and saying they have never misread a tree or made a less than perfect stump. I barberchaired a tree under tension a few months ago so far up It's already split for firewood. It was too skinny to plunge cut (looong tall skinny boy) All because I was too lazy to walk back for a ratchet strap. I've missed my lay. I've hung em up and made the situation even more dangerous. My ONE piece of advice: and I hope you don't get mad for me saying it. Other than the saw, wedges, ropes, banger, etc, that I need to cut a tree, everything is out of a 360' tree-length circle. It makes for a lot more walking but walking is good for the soul. Just glad you and your family are okay dude.

that side by side is over loaded for sure lol. the important thing is no one was hurt, we all make mistakes and as long as we learn from them they were worth making. A good rule of thumb is to notch 30 percent of the diameter of the tree and leave 10 percent of the diameter for the hinge. When cutting the notch cut it at 60 to 70 degrees by doing this the tree will be 2/3rds of the way to the ground before the notch closes and the hinge breaks if you only put a 30 degree notch in it will close and break the hinge 1/3rd of the way down and there is no control over where it is going after the hinge breaks. Im not trying to be a know it all because because I not trust me, I hope the info I gave will help keep someone safe when felling is all, think of the hinge as a steering wheel hang on to it and control it for as long as you can, THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

This is so late you’ll probably never read this but supposedly comments help the channel so here’s a couple of observations. 1. Stumpy looks way more awesome like that! lol 2. By now you know everything that went wrong so nothing really to say except good job on posting this. People learn more from mistakes. 3. If you do see this and it hasn’t been mentioned before, maybe rethink jerking on a tow chain like that. Chain is strong with a static load but horrible when the load is dynamic like jerking on it. To be honest that’s likely when you were in the most danger of serious injury. A link snaps and they will and that chain recoils back right at you. Just last week a guy was killed here trying to jerk out his buddies 4x4 and the chain snapped, went through the windshield and killed the driver. Cable is way better but still not ideal but please, never jerk on a chain. You can actually snap a chain with a cheater bar by hand. That’s how we used to cut chain to length making skidded grader tire chains. Anyway, love your channel and none of us are to old to learn 👍🏼

Good job leaving this video up for others to learn from. I'm always worried about trees going the wrong way as i'm on a mountaintop and it's often very windy. Looks like there was hardly any wedge cut and you cut almost all the way thru the back leaving no hinge ? Tree could even slip right off the stump onto your legs or into your chest. Felling a tree is like opening a hardcover book...leave the last 1 inch or so for a tree that size, then the tree has almost not chance of going any other direction except toward or away from the wedge or back cut, just like opening and closing a book. Unless dead, rot or oddball circumstance, it can only fall 2 ways. Also, a loaded, downed tree is often far more dangerous then a standing one. It can launch back at you and kill you, i was nervous watching you cut the middle across the side by side because it was heavily loaded above you and below could have been loaded by the limbs. Watch some more vids on tree felling hazards, learn by others mistakes. I made some of these mistakes myself and been narrowly lucky. Don't wana see you learn the hard way ! You're brave leaving the video up and comments on. It may help someone else out.

Buckin always talks about it thrown over your shoulder if ya cut up all your holding wood. Ya just needed about an inch more holding wood on that far side and some banging would been fine. I haven’t had that happen to me but plenty of other grace opportunities in my life. Lesson learned. Thanks for sharing, and just being a real dude through it.

So… in rewatching the video… in the face cut you have a big Dutchmen your bottom cut extends back past where your top cut comes down and that’s completely killed the front line of your hinge… so when you came around you cut too far and took out that hinge holding wood…. When you stopped and looked up you were all cut up… wanted to stop there and start beating on your wedges until you lifted it up and over the tipping point… remember that you want to smack your wedge and watch your top… the vibration needs to travel all the way up and move it… you have the tractor… might want to find a piece of steel cable and a good metal block so that you can grab a close tree base and redirect with the tractor… let mama release the clutch in low to get that pulling weight on your tree… or grab it with a 3 ton come-a-long so that you can yank your weight over the tipping point… ??? I just love…agha the lights still work…poor little thing! She’s so sweet! I’m just glad that you’re both safe buddy! We all love ya!!! Anyone who bust your balls doesn’t know you or have a clue and can kiss your azz!!! Accidents happen!!! That’s why they are accidents!!! The day we stop learning and thinking that we know all there is about something that’s the day we’re a dumbazz. Think about all the weight in each of those 6 pieces there… because it’s green wood… and that’s what you are needing to lift with those wedges to get it up over the tipping point… or over center… that’s why I’m always pulling up a line into my canopy so I can have a second function or action working in tandem with my wedges… or the truck or tractor so I can grab that weight up higher and move it over closer to center or the tipping point…. You did everything that you could after it went left…you got your butt way clear!!! That’s all you can do… then you take care of the cleanup and log the experience… one day this experience today will probably help save your life or someone else’s…. All good…my little woody is just fine!!!! LMFFAO!!! That’s a fantastic name!!! … be freakin hilarious to haul the whack off saw’s in a buggy called the or my little woody !!!

I was a lineman for 17yrs but mainly only did trimming of trees along power lines. I've fell a couple trees in the past. So this spring when I decided to remove a few near my house to open up the canopy for a garden, first I put one into my two story deck which I had just put a custom railing on last year and two, I miraculously put two trees into the crotch of another. One I was able to winch out. The other was stuck because of branches on the top of the crotch. So I started trimming the bottom and it ended up tipping up and now the 50ft of tree is balanced perfectly in the crotch of the other tree for everyone to see. I call it the 8th wonder of the world. Gotta laugh sometimes when you F-up. I learned I need to do some more research which is why I'm here watching your videos. Thanks!

Setback. Been there. It sucks that you lose time repairing the damage. Some folks are not as alert and it ends up tragically. I always keep my equipment out of the radius of the tree so this can’t happen. Frankly, a tree falling the wrong way doesn’t scare me as much as the forces that get locked up in a fallen tree. Also, within the tree itself there are forces in the grain. I lost an hour and a bar the other day to a stuck saw. It is the cost of doing this type of work. Life goes on.

@ocsplc Жыл бұрын
I like this channel, but I see no part of this fall which indicates any sort of felling plan. The high speed, advance footage at the beginning is the first clue that all will not end well, as the succession of seemingly random cuts basically almost guarantee a disaster. You’re working on ground with a near 25-30 degree lie, yet, your face cut wants to bring it far against the lie, which is where the tree will naturally try to fall. The video doesn’t seem to show the crown either. Was there more weight of crown on the back cut side? This job called for a felling plan, proper use of many wedges in order to resist the tree’s natural tendency to fall along the lie and fewer, multiple cuts. I thought I saw multiple face and back cuts with Dutchmen galore. This tree basically sat back and rolled against the direction of the face cut. My guess is that his hinge had been eaten away too much on one side causing the tree to sit back and roll on its trunk as the uneven hinge twisted the upper trunk. Probably an uneven hinge. I think reference to Jepson’s bible “To Fell a Tree” would have been a good place to start. I DO credit the faller for having the guts to broadcast his minor disaster. I have had my share of my own. Nobody’s perfect, but didn’t you the viewer see this coming when all of those multiple random cuts were made at the beginning? I would’ve also recommended a Maasdam rope system here too. Glad nobody was killed, except that Jonsered.

That’s a great saw!!! The bar didn’t even get bent…that’s a great saw!!! Find a big bolder or make a wood box and fill it with concrete…500lbs so you can chain it in your bucket and get your nose down and increase your traction…. Gotta remember that you are working with a big hunk of live, green wood there!!! That’s several thousand pounds of dead weight there… when you are getting ready to take a tree plug it into your calculator and get an idea of the weight involved with that particular stick… that’ll help you make smart decisions…. Like these three wedges need to lift 6000 pounds and get it over the tipping point I’ve made when I created my face cut… I’ll make a back cut and beat that sucker straight up or tipping forward before I take my face and make the front side of my hinge… I had one do that and it wasn’t a UTV it was the second story of my clients house… talk about yelling O-no! O-no!!! After that I never dropped another without a safety rope and my wedges on my belt… dropping trees in the State park people have walked into the drop zone with their dogs and your 3/4 threw your cut and you start smacking wedges to stop it from falling and yelling your head off!!! Gotta remember that we are dealing with tons of weight and using little plastic wedges to lift that weight… a 28” wet pine tree isn’t a west coast cedar or deadora…it’s wet and heavy… then the oaks and other hardwoods when alive and heavy hunks of wood… having a 5 to 1 or a good rope puller set up let’s you grab your top and shift some of your weight…

You cut off all your hold wood. Use 2 wedges side by side and drive then in as soon as you can behind the saw being careful not to hit the chain. when you have about an inch left drive one in and not the other. The second will be loose and allow you to stack 2. Drive the stack until the first loosens and stack it and continue driving the 2 stacks one stack at a time. I use wedges on every tree unless its a heavy leaner because it allows you to get the tree leaning where you want it to with more hold wood. Also you need to be looking up more, nothing ever fell from the ground and killed someone. Learn to use the bar in your left hand as your gunning site so you can look up and feel where you are aiming. When you are learning check your aim regularly but try to look up as much as possible. This will also let you see wind changes and the trees movement much sooner. Good luck

Glad you all are OK! Could you make a follow up vid on what went wrong some time? Could be very helpful to others!

Only one way to learn and good lessons are expensive. Main thing is your both ok, material possessions can be replaced.

You have a good name for yourself Novice Lumberjack. If one cuts trees long enough something will happen sometime. Sorry for your damage. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to see that happen to you. Glad you and your wife didn’t get hurt and oh yah the saws too. Happy to see the side by side’s frame was not bent so it is totally fixable.

Not sure if it will help or not but maybe you can cut one of those log to fit your front bucket and strap it into place for additional weight up front? Im liking your videos!

I’m really glad I didn’t just see some die on KZbin(minus the side by side). Anyway, you did the totally right thing by running under it fast because if you ran in the direction where the notch was, if it did barber chair, it probably would have rocked you or sliced you open so I’m glad your ok. Watch the bar tip, don’t cut into the notch and use those wedges. Any doubts throw a bull rope in and “help” it on the direction you want. God bless and be safe
