HOW TO CUT A WINDFALL DOWN SAFELY

[@williamjensen3332]

That was a job done by a master of his craft. It's a pleasure to see you at work!!

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Thank you!!!

[@Yorkshire321]

Just glad no one without a helmet was around the first minute when he didn't secure that grapple that dropped 😂

[@johnsim3722]

One of the most dangerous situations I can think of when you’re having to work under a tree that’s already falling. Incredible skill to get such a good outcome.

[@StevenStyczinski-sy8cj]

Taking a dangerous situation, planning it out and making it look easy. This guy knows what he is doing. Good job.

[@BandiMasha]

A Woodpecker has been tickling it 😮😂😂😂. Just love Finnish-English. 👍 A Master at work, is a wonderful sight to see 👍🇬🇧🇷🇺

[@blueovalracing1582]

Man that was spectacular. You are the Bob Ross of tree cutting.👍👍👍👍👍

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Thank you!

[@GavinM161]

BEAUTIFULLY done Sir! Watching them both fall synchronized together was amazing!

[@cindyyeager8627]

Wow is right. Textbook. I had my husband watch this and he has decided to hire a pro to handle this very situation. Although there are no buildings nearby. Wow.

[@savage22bolt32]

Timestamp 10:00 Thank you so much for stopping the saw and sharing that bit of information. I have used that knowledge before, but always on the fly. I never preplanned using the first cut to see the second cut. I will add that to my thought process in the future ❤

[@TheRussellStover]

What a professional job in a bad situation. Perfect.

[@hopper1aoa15]

Cool Tool for attaching the ropes to the trees....we used to use the little throwing bags to get the ropes onto the trees....your system is much better....love your vids....keep up the great work.

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Thank you very much!

[@aggelospap179]

It is in these situations when the worker is really skillfull. Making a very dangerous and demanding job seem like nothing. Well done!

[@wojciechchrzanowski3874]

To było trudne wyzwanie. Nieprzemyślane wykonywanie niebezpiecznych zadań zabrało już niejedno życie. Widać tutaj duże doświadczenie w tej profesji. Fachowiec +dobry sprzęt=zadanie wykonane👍Good job👏👍

[@FredSanford2003]

Nice equipment and skilled work. I used to be a faller for the USFS, few can do it as well as you did. A couple of minor safety things we could get in trouble for though, never stick your hand in the notch, knock out the cut part with an axe or something. Also, never walk in front of notch angle. Minor things, you are obviously expert and way better than I ever was. Such a pleasure to see a master at work!

[@brianrajala7671]

Very good job! Planning ahead and the plan worked to perfection!

[@davidlindsey1835]

Bravo! It's a pleasure to watch a skilled lumberjack at work.

[@stanleystrycharz2572]

Well done Sir! It was a pleasure to watch you work. You calmly went about removing a dangerous tree and felled them right where you wanted them. Thank you for the excellent video. Oh and the bird that tickled the hole in the tree is called a woodpecker in english. 😊

Brother I've been on my homestead for 5 years and I keep looking at a couple of these trees thinking I'm going to need a monkey for him but it turns out you just taught me I could use these felling tongs and a pole and I have both.. 😅😂 thank you!❤

You have the same tongs he uses in the video? If so could you tell me the manufacturer?

[@winterfar2814]

That worked out nice. I do a similar process, I use a throw bag and a maasdam rope puller. Great work.

[@Derek_Garnham]

That was beautiful, thanks. The act of planning and describing your actions seem to bring great luck.

[@cecilieogier8873]

Voilà qui va bien me servir très prochainement, merci !

[@raytyre750]

Never seen a felling tong. Better be able to move quick if it pops off the stick. Looks like a running bowline might be a better option for me but can't argue with the results. Another good video, thanks!

[@zoolkhan]

they were springloaded, not draw-weight loaded like the simple ones. Not sure if you noticed - it means they cant come off on their own, once they snap they stay in place.

[@raytyre750]

@zoolkhan Yeah I'm talking about while they're on the pole.

[@DeadlyPlatypus]

I think they're homemade out of skidding tongs.

[@willamettehops]

From Oregon USA, Nice work man! We had a huge storm 2 days ago. Lots of trees down.

[@MaximilianPX]

Thank you Michael!

[@dm9860]

I do like that u eyed them up and had a plan ahead of time. And I do prefer ropes over wedges. Safety first. Good u didn't get hurt.

[@rogerwilliams2902]

Made it look so easy, brilliant !. Wouldnt have had a clue myself.

[@trazcotraz2798]

Beautiful work really, and you saved the outhouse (paskatalo). Your equipment was minimal, and perfect for the job. Very impressive! This is clearly not your first rodeo.

We call it huussi, or kakkimo

[@SMJ95]

Nice work! I like the hooks to redirect the fall application. Very cool!

[@geordiecs]

Kiitos! The graphics really really help

[@AdventureAwaits1111]

Beautifully executed! If I only had the thousands of dollars in epuipment I could do this myself! But I dont. So, this didnt help me with my "hung" trees....and I dont have the money to pay a skilled logger....sooo, hope and pray it is. Be aware of surroundings and always have an "out"....we can rebuild the "poophouse" if needed. 😂

[@GreatDataVideos]

Shouldn't cost thousands in equipment. You can probably borrow or rent a chainsaw. You can use tow straps instead of buying rigging rope. I've never seen felling tongs with a telescopic handle used before and don't see where to buy them, but if you can throw the strap over a branch, that may suffice.

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

Not really, you could have all the gear in the world and you wouldn't be able to do it. That's a job for a professional with years of training and experience.

[@GreatDataVideos]

@@Toyotaamazon80series Of course you need the skill, but my point was that you could do it without spending a lot.

[@GreatDataVideos]

Taking both trees down at once is brilliant! Having a leaning tree stuck up in the canopy can be dangerous. Where do you purchase the felling tongs with the telescopic handle? I don't see them in the U.S.

[@キム-k3o]

I have been looking all over the internet for the felling tongs with the extension pole, do you have a source or link for them? The nifty ratcheting chain hoist would be good too. Great job, thank you.

[@kevinbyrne4538]

I saw a video from Sweden (?) where lumberjacks were shown how to remove a tree that is hung-up on another tree. A large sheet of plywood was placed under the hung-up tree, near the bottom of the hung-up tree. The instructor then cut off a small piece (about 1 meter long) of the bottom end of the hung-up tree so that the lower end of the hung-up tree fell onto the sheet of plywood. He wrapped a cable around the lower end of the hung-up tree and then used a "come-along" winch to pull the lower end of the hung-up tree away from the tree in which it was hung up. (The bottom end of the hung-up tree slid on the sheet of plywood.) Then he cut another piece of the bottom end of the hung-up tree and again the lower end of the hung-up tree fell onto the sheet of plywood. He repeated this process of cutting and pulling until the hung-up tree was free and fell to the ground.

[@curtcobler4567]

Where do the tongs on the poll come from?? Myself and several other people are trying to find them with no luck. Your talked about on reddit asking if anyone knows where to find this item. I have seen you use this equipment in other of your videos. I find your channel very informative. Thank-you in advance.

[@peterswatton7400]

Ha ha, good work and saved the whare paku as we say in New Zealand. Nice looking area to work in.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Redwoods on fire off the shoulder of Mt Shasta. I watched Embers glitter in the dark near the National Park Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

We should thank Norway for introducing this technique to Finland!

[@benjamintiller5706]

I love how his reaction is exactly the same as mine at the end. “Wow.”

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

😎

[@netfun8]

I like how you use leverage to get the job done. I would have put a wedge in the back cut. He cut bark of the sides of the face cut to get the best view of his back cut , coming to the holding wood. Also as the tree rots on the inside, insects find a home and the birds find the insects.

[@christianosqash2617]

Perfect. Just great skill. Irish shout out to the Fins .

[@jwsonsdevelopmentsltd4035]

Very well done, extremely dangerous situation 👍

[@jimisnotunique]

What is the name for the chain winch you used? I'm an apprentice US tree worker, and haven't seen tree tongs or the chain winch. Great instruction, thanks!

[@SUF-py4ix]

Well done mate. What’s the make of and names of the felling hooks? I think you said but also the winch. Thanks

[@bootsnthejeep]

Yeah, likewise, interested in both. Never seen such a thing as the spring-loaded felling tongs on a stick. I can think of all KINDS of useful application for those. And my Google-fu is failing me as well.

[@netromrep6325]

Brilliant. I use rope and winch this way too. The safest way.

@FINNISHLUMBERJACK 👍 thanks

[@rickstephens1130]

I think that I might have added more clicks on the come-along to the lines first before making the back-cut? Only to add more pull tension on the trees, for added security? But nice job though? Even though you were okay with what the tension was on the lines?

[@davidquirk8097]

A nice job. Thank you for sharing.

Kinda curious why you don't go with a figure 8 in the bight knot for those tree pinchers. You're obviously aware of that knot as you used it, pretty much, for the two ropes chain attach point.

Where did you get those spring loaded hooks with the pole? Did you make those?

Nice work - the bird that did the damage in the second tree - we would call it a Pileated Woodpecker - a very large woodpecker. But I think they are only native to North America? Amerikanpalokärki (Finnish) Pileated Woodpecker (English)

[@NeilPitman-vo4bh]

Great video. Where can I get the telescopic pole with the grapples? the chain winch? In other videos, you have a pushing pole, I would like of them too

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

I bought them from Uittokalusto.

[@tacolarry639]

When you tied the two trees off and then hooked it to the chain, what was the thing you were using to tighten the chain up? It looks like a chain hoist but appeared that you could just keep turning the handle to increase the tension

[@juhakettunen7971]

A few seconds earlier you can see him checking the diameter of the tree against the length of his bar, and finding out that it doesn't quite reach all the way through. Edit: I was wrong. Apparently he's doing it in any case to better see how close to the hinge wood the crosscut is getting,

On the second tree you made 2 extra cuts on the sides of your face cut, I've never seen that before. This is where the dreaded Dutchman lives. What was the purpose of those 2 cuts. Is it not a Dutchman because the cuts were vertical & not a horizontal overcut?
