Last Tree of The Day Almost Goes BAD!

[@jayburns3119]

All I could think of when you made that cut was “Jed would be proud”. Still one of my favorite videos. You and Jed showing all the different cutting techniques.

[@kenpendergraft8997]

Jay, I totally agree. Jed would have loved that.

[@walkerscountrylife]

'my face cuts nevwr line up' .. then nails another one perfectly 👌 Thanks for showing that last tree Jacob. Man that 592 rips!! Im dying to get one for my little channel. Have a good weekend brother 👍

[@SevenOaksOutdoors]

Hey man, I love the fact that you show your mistakes. I’m a person that learns everything the hard way. I saw your first job as a tree service where you used 3 ropes and all your wedges. I love REAL! Most people would cut that stuff out. I have a small sawmill and young KZbin channel and I too show all of the learning curve. Keep up the great work! I just ordered some wedges from sappy!

[@biggzzthetreeman223]

Amen

[@johnelliott7423]

I love these little videos nothing too complicated, just something easy and relaxing to watch

[@deplorablepatriot8605]

Ditto. And the sound of the chainsaw is white noise to me!

[@gerrybrown]

Nice to see experts have issues at times too when cutting

[@compostjohn]

ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!! Well done, you deserve this. Bloody good videos.

[@jakeyarish6818]

Star Wars nerd fact check: Forest Moon of Endor was filmed on the North Side of The Smith River, just north of Crescent City CA. The Jeddah Smith Redwood state park is on the South of the Smith River. Old growth redwoods. I used to live in Brookings, just north of there. Unfortunately, they logged that forest just after filming. Love the channel and all your work!! Ewok Chief Chirpa out.

[@fredkennedy8435]

1 million? Whaaaa??? Dude, amazing. You've nailed it. Love your videos! Looking forward to the next one!

[@lanehartwig6917]

After watching you and other I dropped my first tree today. In my backyard. between 2 houses... Probably not my smartest move as I messed up the back cut slightly. Luckily I hyper focused on my face cut doing an open cut. Dropped right where I wanted but didn't fully cut the back part. Probably my fault for using a small saw. Luck was on my side, and now I know for the future without having to learn the hard way.

[@jasonfalk]

I am in the same area so cut a ton of black cottonwood, red alder, Douglas-fir, and hemlock and the cottonwood is always the most likely go do something unexpected. Worst was cutting a 24” cottonwood in spring when the sap was flowing and the weight crushed my hinge and sat on my saw. Pretty similar to what happened in your vid. Wedges did no good since it was the hinge that squished like a sponge. I also liked the discussion and techniques on how far you can predictably send a cottonwood off the direction of its lean. Usually not much. I just imagine I am felling a giant sloppy wet sponge and then they do what I expect.

[@stephendouglassd]

You could try a bore cut straight into the kerf on the backside to make room for a wedge. Not sure if i explained it well but I used it once when my wedge popped out and the tree sat back, learned it from an old logger.

[@mattfleming86]

I've done that!! The wood pops vertically up yhe grain and you are basically lifting a wedge and a "plug" it worked just fine. It's a great trick that I would imagine would work on many species of tree. Probably not elm or hickory.

[@SamRogers-Petro]

Dude you are the man. Love all your content. I'm a landscaper and amateur chainsaw user, so it's a real privilege to watch and learn from a master of the craft who takes such pride and pleasure in his work. Always chalk full of excellent explanations and you make it look so easy. And as a fellow 5'9" 150lb young man watching your videos give me a little extra confidence in my size and stature lol

[@Draydonpointer]

Im 5’7” and 125. Not a very big fella 😂 but that ms 500i is soo nice to use. Still its a lot of work throwing the saw and axe around for hours a day😂

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

Thank you for showing this. I had one sit back on me and I was like wow... WOW.. I guess I make mistakes too. I try really hard to look at a tree for a minute before I cut. Some guys can just look for 10 seconds and know. I cant yet I have to hug it for a minute and really look at it. Sit back is a BAD feeling. we have ALL had it.

[@sandyloyst1811]

Happy Anniversary to you Jake and the Mrs. Be careful out there. I'm a proud Husky owner myself. Thanks Ontario Canada

[@JadensRedemption]

A fellow Ontarian watches these eh? Cheers!

[@billrobbins5874]

Happy Anniversary to you and yours! ♥️♥️ Nice tree work. 👍👍

[@br-dj2ti]

Also buddy your cameras are absolutely amazing the clarity is beautiful

[@swagtech_]

sill one of my favorite videos. You and Jed showing all the different cutting techniques.

[@toddtrierweiler958]

Congratulations on 1,000,000 subs 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Hadley749]

Hey when a small tree sets back and there isn’t room for wedges and your bar, you can bore straight it about inch or two under your back cut. It will give a bar width cut just wide enough for a wedge, works wonderfully to get it lifted and going. I have pinched my bar the same way you did in the last month and used this method to get the tree to lift!

[@magdabrownis265]

I like how you keep things pg. my 3 yr old likes to watch with me and there’s enough trashy media out there. Thank you

[@magdabrownis265]

She says “there it goes” and makes a boom sound when the tree hits. She said “I love this guy!”

[@brentjenkinsdesigns]

Well done! You didn't lose your head. You worked through the issue methodically and I am quite sure you learned something. Well done indeed.

[@gosbusta]

man I love watching trees being cut. I have learned alot watching your vids. Cut down a 20' tree this past weekend. One thing I know i need after doing that, is I need a bigger saw. Poor little 14" Echo was STRUUUGLING with the tree.

[@jackmoyer2174]

While watching you work alone, I was reminded of a time in college where one friend was doing some contract felling for the school and another friend with a logging background grabbed me to go with him because he hadn’t heard the saw running. Everything was fine, but the built in sense that no one else felt alerted him. Was glad to see that the home owner was on site for you.

[@willardgreenfield650]

This is some of the best felling you have ever recorded, thanks for sharing.

[@Draydonpointer]

This content makes me really want to start filming at work! My boss also needs someone to start climbing soon, so im kinda doing as much learning as i can from these sorts of videos! Really cool to watch!

[@johnpappas2060]

Bless Thanks 😊 for showing all sides of tree falling even mistakes cause it education to all. May you live to see your children's children.

[@E.Meyers]

Happy 20th Anniversary, Jake! 🍰🥂 You did a great perfect job on those trees, and that’s why the last one messed up, to keep you humbled. That’s just life sometimes, and you went home safe. 😊

[@boywithdrone09]

But he’s only in his 30s

[@tgawron2233]

Great job Jake. Stay safe out there!

[@davidmoffitt7297]

Well done Jake ! Im proud of you ! From an Australian fan !

[@mreggbird]

Congratulations! Happy anniversary!

[@ojchart]

Enjoyed the video. Nice felling. The one you got the chain/bar stuck in was interesting. Thankfully you managed your way out of that predicament. Good job.

[@TheTimmehtimmeh]

Jake amazing cinematography and perspectives. Love the new stump shots.

[@ianturner6954]

Great job Jake ... and a good get out! great channel love what you do and how you do it so keep up the good work

[@claireusilton4066]

Congratulations on 1 million! 🎉

[@busbyadventures]

Congratulations on the amazing milestone.

[@In-The-Trees]

This video was incredibly well done! I'm not sure if it was intentional but the way you set up your camera after the sizwel so the twigs & the leaf's gave a frame like feel while you made your back cut was a great touch! Keep rocking it!

[@Jcozz]

Excellent recovery!

[@awldune]

*actually* Endor scenes were filmed at Jedediah Smith Redwoods SP in Cali

[@noahkolis7014]

I’ve learned that lesson with trees sitting back on me, and putting my chain in the dirt, to know to bring a back up saw anymore. It is always the last tree you drop that gets you.

[@richardf9137]

NICE JOB! Happy Anniversary 🎉

[@markespich8574]

Happy anniversary to you both. Keep loving each other always.

[@jonathanlanglois2742]

1:20 The maple trees in my area definitely are way stronger than that. I guess that the environment that they grow in has a massive effect on how strong they are. Theses must be putting on a lot of wood every year. I'm in Canada, so the growing season is rather short. The winters that we've got are downright harsh with freeze thaw cycles that just bring on a mess of wet heavy snow that sticks to everything. The amount of weight that some of those trees are able to support is absolutely incredible, and sometime rather scary. My area is full of century old trees that are often tower over building.

[@travishicks4504]

😮 ive learned so much from watching your videos. I live on the east coast with all the small trees lol. But the concepts still crossover . Awesome content dude your technical explanations are spot on and make so much sense! You deserve ever sub youve earned 🤙keep being awesome

[@itsjohnny497]

Congrats on you reaching million! Keep on trucking and stay busy & safe!

[@banzaii6285]

Happy anniversary Jake !....and nice correction👍.

[@bestt1722]

keep up the good videos always a good day when you post

[@julianalderson3938]

I do conventional scarf. On a bigger tree i often put a twig in otherside after the belly. Just gives me a refferance. Sounds silly but works for me. Thanx

[@travisjanz4738]

Dude I was feeling like a dork when I pinched my 36” in a sugar pine this afternoon had too take the power head off and Masdam it over, video came just in time to show that everyone has a moment once in a while. Was also thinking about your perfect notch cuts, thanks for the tips.

[@appoutfeed]

That look at 16:49 tho! Hey, we always appreciate hearing the thought process behind how you fall each tree. 👊

[@Larry-325]

Nice job! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!🎉

[@alanblasczyk1779]

Congrats on the One Million Subs. Also a great video.

[@danmcburney3247]

Jake..... Great little video !!!! Huge congratulations on a 10 year anniversary !!!!! And a Huge congratulations on a million subs !!!!! Atta kid 😉😁

[@kelvingrebert7315]

congratz on the great video. Happy !0th anniversary to you & yours. it's my 40th next wk. hope you have as many as i've had

[@yamadog24]

Jacob. Such an awesome video! Thanks for the education in your videos.

[@VladRudin]

very good! professional in his field! definitely like it!

[@JDCarterMusic]

I love trees, and I love it when you cut down trees, Jake! Thanks for the videos!

[@JDCarterMusic]

Also, it would be interesting to see footage from a chin-mounted go-pro while you're cutting. Entertaining for us, and extremely inconvenient for you! You'd have to wear a mountain bike helmet or something.. probably not safety rated the same as a hard-hat. Anyway - fun idea to try as your videography skills increase. I love the HD video from your phone and the focusing.

[@trevor9671]

Just finish a land clearing all cotton woods. 500i 25 in bar. Got windy at the end of the day really screwed things up especially with a big whole in the woods now lol

[@sdfolkert12]

Been there done that. The tree isn’t what gets a person in trouble, it’s a bad size-up. No worries as long as you go home safe at the end of the day

[@allanmoorfield2098]

Amazing cut/fell Jake, on the cottonwood leaning toward the house, a master at work for damn sure ! 😎👍👏

[@johnclarke8180]

Awesome save, experience and knowledge win every time!

[@marcondespaulo]

Beautiful felling.

[@davidwyby]

Wow, that cottonwood held way better than I expected from what I’ve heard.

[@danonly7]

That fern in the sizwell scene was great. Nice job cutting that.

[@chichitex1252]

Great video! Congrats on 1 million viewers!❤❤❤

[@happysquirrels57]

Jacob love watching your videos. Stay safe ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ryanstewart1521]

Those mini wedges are sweet for smaller trees

[@rayclark9643]

Having a tree set back has happened to most all of us at one time or another😊

[@Arboristlifestyle]

Man I can't believe how well that Sizwill worked. Jed is definately smiling up there right now.

[@jamesrepici875]

congratulation on your anniversary

[@toddtrierweiler958]

Happy Halloween and Happy Anniversary to you and your Wife🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@boomupengineering]

I just ordered a couple 5-1/2" wedges from WCS. Figured they'd be useful. I see someone else thinks so as well. Thanks for showing us pinched bars. Each time it helps me feel better for when I do the same.

[@mattfleming86]

I use mine more than I use my big wedges! The amount of "lift" they provide isin't really that different from the next size up.

[@stuartdarch2966]

Loving these videos they brilliant 👍🏻

[@Lawrence1203-f7s]

It is refreshing to see that experts have "oops" moments

[@thetruth7046]

Congratulations on the 10 years! 🎉

[@krissingh4015]

Happy anniversary!

[@OkanganMadViking250]

Never let your guard down when you're walking in to a dead stand or underneath or around dead trees because it's not so much as what's going on in front of u or to the sides of u witch is just as important as it is what's going on above you that u can't see that's important to be aware of is my outlook on it.

[@DylanHorton-ll8gu]

Love the videos keep up with the good

[@terrancemiller8350]

Great job sorry you had a bit of trouble, oh yes, Happy Anniversary, Mr Ten years.lots of love. Afriend.

happy anniversary

[@assassinlexx1993]

A good day is when get to go home. That stuck chain🙈 We will never speak of it again🙊. Thanks for the video

Keep the great videos coming and congrats on the subs!

[@EightWheelsRollin]

Puttin' in work...great vid!

[@Eric-gi9kg]

I can't count how many videos of yours I have watched... But every one I learn about How and Why to cut and place. I use to fell quite a bit when younger for firewood, and used some common sense. Now I have the confidence to fell irregular trees.. just from what I have learned from watching you. The one that you got to rotate... Money

[@gatorbuegs9222]

I was going to order a bunch of stickers from Sappy supplies but since I’m in Australia delivery fee is $134 surely stickers in a envelope doesn’t cost that much 😭

[@treepaulandrade5920]

Happy anniversary🎉

[@akdoug6437]

The last one that sat back on me was 3/4 mile from my spare bar and chain. Hiked out and back, only to find the wind had cured my problem. :D

Dang that looked pretty intense. I've made a goofy mistake like this before too. haha. Thanks for showing us the mistake. haha. Definitely try not to underestimate trees, I know we get complacent sometimes.

[@joshmorrison4722]

@GuiltyofTreeson....... please say the Millennium Falcon

[@darthgbc363]

Believe me, I was worried that tree was not going to jump away from the stump as it fell & was going land right on your bar. I've heard of a corner bar & grill, but not a corner bar & chain. LOL Cuttin' corners. LOL Glad it worked out for you. Might be wise to carry extra bars & chains.

[@iffykidmn8170]

much quicker and easier to just carry an extra saw.

[@kogerlaan]

A true tree-magician !
