That was wonderful to watch! Where did you get the extension pole/ log tongs kit? Can’t find it. Thanks again! Subbed!

[@randomoto928]

Equal parts amazing and terrifying. I'll never attempt something like this myself, but I really enjoyed watching. Much respect!

Thank you!

[@stevesmith2171]

I do not have the experience or skill for this. I do, however, have the sense to call someone who does.

[@saltyyankee5149]

I don't understand the rationale behind his approach. Personally, I deal with hung up trees like that every week (well, usually dead fall, much smaller) and do the sequential chop off of the bottom log or two until it falls off, or drop enough from the bottom that it goes near vertical then use a come-along and blocks to pull it in the direction I'd prefer to fall.. The way demonstrated here is WAY too technical and skill based for my level :)

Watched this because I have a hung up tree on my property (was blown over in a storm). Figured I might learn something and I did. I learned that I'm going to leave the tree be and let mother nature bring it down. This guy is truely amazing.

[@prioritytree]

Excellent skills. I am a climber and tree faller. I've done a lot of tricks in the past, never seen anything like this. It looks like it takes a lot of skill and experience. That was not easy. Also very dangerous if you make an error. Not for the inexperienced.

[@robertwoetzel6763]

Crazy, just pull it off with the skidder

[@stevehodgkins8801]

I have a few acres - with a lot of trees. I am having issues bringing them down safely. Is, I have been starting with the easy ones. 3 years in, I have graduated to a Echo 600 Timberwolf and enjoy all the limbing and cleanup that I can handle. Your videos have been of a great help.

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Excellent, thank you!

[@f9qo]

You might want to consider getting yourself a Tirfor fixed line puller. It is a real aid in pulling trees, whether falling against the lean or falling hung up trees safely. There are a number of different type pullers on the market, cable or rope, but fixed line pullers (cable) are simply great. I have both the 3/4 ton and 1.8 ton ones for the tree work that I do. The 3/4 smaller one covers a lot of territory and not so heavy. Super well made tools that have been around for a long time. Real good to have in your kit. Pull your car out of a ditch too..

[@jubdub1]

I've done something similar! We called it "pole-in-a-hole" and used it on a lot of beetle kill in Montana. Never could figure out how to do it when the tree's still on the stump. . . thank you, now I know :)

This guy's skill is amazing. He had lots of other directions he could have dropped this tree. He picked that direction to hang the tree on purpose. In order to make this video. He picked exactly the right spot to get it to hang up. Kudos!

Well done. You made the video as a "What to do, after it gets hung up." Some smooth-brains like User-Wuss can't seem to wrap their limited cranial capacity around such an object lesson. Keep doing these as safety guides and ignore the morons. Those of us who can see the training and wisdom in your lesson do appreciate it. Cheers from the Willamette Valley in Oregon.

[@toddb930]

That's a great technique! Thank You for putting this together.

[@guly]

Ive seen alot of people start cutting parts of that tree while its hanging, angled cuts making the tree slide down. The problem with that method is its pretty unreliable in terms of where the tree slides. Secondly you end up making the tree standing more and more straight, hoping for the bind to release. This method requires skill and was really fun to watch, once i realised what you were doing. I wonder tho, if you had pushed that slide part further in, maybe the tree would slide further, instead of pushing the slide out. Anyways a joy to watch greetings from Norway

[@apveening]

The back end of that slide part should have been fixed so it couldn't slip.

[@Kpv_777]

Спасибо за видео! Берегите себя!

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

😃👍🏻👍🏻

[@joeneighbor]

I wonder now as long as the hinge is already broke, or just if not that much left, could you put a chain or cable a few feet up the tree and use a winch to pull it back? Either a trunk winch if there is a path near, by hand with a come along, or battery powered winch.

[@f9qo]

That works, but be wary of trees shooting back, so keep your distance.

[@devo9495]

That's how I solve it when it happens. Sometimes the job is to remove a half-felled tree from someone else (or nature). He used a robust chain winch in another video that would have been my option. Just need it long enough to stay out of harm's way… or a redirect so the winch is off to the side.

[@donmoore7785]

This has the benefit of creating something to reduce friction.

[@WaltANelsonPHD]

Thank you for this expert demonstration.

[@FirelightFirewood]

This was a cool video you are a master arborist! But for beginners I don’t suggest what he’s doing because plunge cuts can be dangerous but if you have experience go for it!

[@SamJones1956]

Wow! Thank you very much for the video. It really is a "thrill" to cut down a tree properly in such a situation. It requires a lot of experience.

[@Kengaroo66]

Definately. As a retired professional Forester, I am amazed at the stupidity of what I have seen here. The cutter would have been marched off site with numerous safety beaches.

[@Buddha-of8fk]

@@Kengaroo66 Our family has been logging since the late 1800's. It's a much larger operation now of course. We still do it the old ways. Every cutter we have started out with a sledge and wedges helping the cutters for at least a year before they go to chainsaw.

[@igasuguseidasju1699]

Thats why you work alone and not in some crew that impedes work flow. Safety is important yes. But you cannot go crazy with it. I we been using chainsaw to cut forrest since i was 14 years old. I spit on your regulations and safety rules.

[@99bx99]

Being a wannabe tree faller when cutting firewood I've had the same problem. After making sure nothing is holding the tree to the stump, I put a chain around the tree near the bottom and yank it off the stump with my pickup. Sometimes there's a stuck saw in there too. Next time I'm going to try what this guy did.

[@kyrg]

The ol pole in the hole. Great job videoing the technique.

[@slpip]

I won't stand behind a hung-up tree and cut it down like this way. I would cut it piece by piece to drop it down safely,

[@volvo245]

That's fine for storm clearing or firewood. Not so much if you are tasked to get as much sawmill lumber as possible, that stuff needs to be 4-6m long.

[@donmoore7785]

With a helicopter? How would you cut it "safely"? I'll wait.

[@andym1594]

I owned acreage with a lot of mature timber (doug fir) close to my house. Root rot and wind made this an extreme hazard. Over the years I had an old logger come out and take out the problem ones. As an engineer I'm always impressed by the ingenuity of old saws.

Come on this is a kind of joking and not a techniqe , in most other places you get fired with in real time 😂

[@tonsssedell4318]

@@MikyBianchi Yeah, this is not an instruction manual and the technique is "unsafe" by modern standards. Stuff like this is not to be done in a "workplace" in 2020's developed world because Safety Sally says NO. But it works and it might sometimes be the most successful approach. Of course stuff like this are officially stunts these days. This one was not the most dangerous thing I have seen live watching felling done by professionals. In fact this was pretty close to the regular safer practice if you look closer. When someone pays this much attention while executing this maneuver it's not actually significantly more dangerous than going manual logging in the first place.

That is what I do - but never on a tree this large. It isn't exactly a safe method either. I would never attempt it on a tree this size.

[@johnrobertson7583]

if the tree is more vertical...i make a bore cut about 4 feet off the ground at a 45-60 degree angle...I insert a wedge...and then release the two holding pieces and let the tree drop straight down...I repeat this until I feel the tree can be pushed over the opposite direction from the initial intended direction of fall...its pretty much what you have to do in a dense stand of pines...
