You do a great job explaining "common sense" type methods that really help folks stay safe and work more efficient!

[@prepordietryin9119]

"Don't rush this" is some of the most simple advice but is so true. Sometimes when I'm trimming trees I get in a motion and I start going too fast. I have to remind myself to slow down and be careful and take my time and pay attention to what I'm doing. It's so easy to get complacent. I used to drill that into our head at my old job but complacency will definitely get you hurt when you're using a chainsaw if you let it go too far

I'm an amateur, just cutting firewood on my property. The way I think about the process is to imagine like I'm holding each end of the branch or log I'm cutting, and applying force like I see it. Like the first upper branches he cut, I think like my right hand is holding the wood solid and still near the trunk, and the left hand is pulling down on that free end. That helps me visualize the forces at work and the compression and tension sides, and once I work it out it's not always like I might have first imagined. Then I remind myself that I'm a "T"ree "C"utter = "T-C" = cut from the "T"ension side first, going toward the "C"ompression. The veteran cutters can see this without even thinking about it. I feel safer working it through in my head like a mental exercise any time it's not super obvious.

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@rbljackson]

These are great informative videos on techniques that are applicable to anyone who may be working with downed trees after a storm, etc. Thanks so much for these how to videos. They may seem trivial to someone working trees every day, but the audience will typically not be those people. It will be someone like me who may find himself doing a DIY tree limb job after a storm. I may also try downing trees in safe areas, but id be hiring someone if there was a fall close to a house, car, structure etc.

Good video, I learned about the 1/3 rule and how to free the pinched blade. I usually ruin the chain freeing my saw. Big difference is that I clear most branches when cut to aid if I need a quick escape. You prob already know when danger exists.

[@adirondackwoodsman]

I have learned a lot of this over time. You did a great job explaining for someone new. Also you are much more agile with your saw than I am 😂

[@QuietCornerWoodsman]

Good Stuff. People of all experience levels coming to youtube for the assist these days and these basics are very practical. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@oldguyplayin5828]

definitely one of the better vids on this subject matter. people are looking at these vids because they usually want to know how to do something. by describing each scenario he faced as he encountered them, it better prepares folks!

[@dougreid2351]

Step by step explanations. Very useful and clear because you turn off your saw when you're addressing us. Safety first. Thanks again! DOUG out

[@thegreatone582]

Thank you for your videos , I think you really make a difference to many people!

[@kdcustoms1272]

One of the best videos ive seen so far. Thanks brother.

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

awesome stuff man. You are helping keep people safe and Efficient.

[@rossmorrow3013]

I found your term of, “Limbing” a lot more helpful/useful than, “Buckin’ or Bucking” as you to me are removing, “the limbs”.

[@stevenbrown5210]

Limbing is cutting the branches, bucking is cutting the trunk

[@Juzzy520]

Glad you mentioned,” tension & compression!” Well done!🍺🍺💪💪👍

[@goofyvideos]

Yep, over the years of working my woodlot, the times i've gotten hurt most is when the saw is off and the cover isn't on the bar yet (sharpening), and limbing, when the main statue rolls suddenly or a limb springs unexpectedly. Slashing thru a pile of brush is another source of whipping and kickback. Nice reminders! We all tend to pick up speed, especially with the nicer saws.

[@craighellberg4366]

Question please: I am a homeowner with basic chainsaw skills. I have an oak tree that came down. I’m going to keep the wood. Is there anything wrong with cutting limbs at the end of the limb to size and working my way towards the trunk of the tree? It seems this would be easier to do while the limbs are off the ground. Thank you for your time Sir. P.S. At 63 years old, the number one rule I have learned is “a man has got to know his limitations “ 🙂

[@jwstric2]

Great safety video for all experience ranges. My son and I sat down and reviewed this and talked through it before his first time with a chainsaw. I've been cutting for many years and learned a couple things.

[@outdoorspal]

Well done Dude ! Great job

[@JB-ol4vz]

Really like your educational films. I would like to see a film on your basic climbing gear and basic tree climbing. Cheers from Sweden.

[@fosterprice5690]

Hey Gidday from a fencing contractor (so everyday chainsaw user!) down in New Zealand - great videos. I'm very envious of your helmet, we wear out helmets post driving so its on all day. I have one of the Stihl ones they sell here but it's pretty crappy. Can tell. E what yours is. Ta

[@200cdl]

Excellent, Excellent explanations, this will actually help in protecting my safety and Help not picking my saw, I know it slowed you down and this is a no brainier for you, but this really put a lot of things on perspective, Thank You !!

[@JoeMcCole-wu3np]

Amazing video. I've just passed my small fell assessment. 38cm diameter in the UK. You make it look very easy! 😊

[@stanokeefe2713]

I was out doing this same stuff yesterday, thank you for this vid. Good job

[@tomlives]

Your chainsaw seems to cut like a hot knife through butter; what is your chain sharpening method?

[@ForestApps]

Good video Casey!

[@marcobrownstone]

Excellent tutorial and demonstration. Thank You.

[@jfdesignsinc.innovationsid1583]

Nice tips. What a pro. Thanks for sharing

[@johncollins2282]

Very informative.

Nice video, you're doing an amazing job! Keep it up.

[@StalltoStart]

Nice! You're a good teacher!!

[@mobiletech6289]

I enjoy all your videos ! Thank you

[@jimh1996]

That saw's recoil assembly is like, bro wtf are you doing to me 😢

[@rickharmon6601]

You are awesome!

[@flaviogoncalves2623]

Acompanhando seu trabalho aqui no Brasil 👍

[@wjstewdog]

Sweet video

[@ajridge2264]

He's really killin the starter in that thing in thus video!

[@jeffjones742]

Excellent tutorial 👌

[@adrianm8852]

Great video. Can you explain how to cut the main tree into sections when it is on the flat ground? I always end up hitting the ground with the chain and it blunts it.

[@aaronbaum2542]

Great and helpful information!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@ifixeditmyself1926]

This was excellent.

[@rogerboudreau8496]

Wow ! Thanks to explain all branches situation cutting ! Bravo:)

[@annaaron3510]

Wood MBA...fine tutorial.

[@SashaNem]

thanks

[@nhmountains5683]

Nice work Casey. That pine had more crooks in it than I’ve ever seen before. How do you like the Pfanner?

[@Top_Branch]

They are awesome! Worth every penny

[@nhmountains5683]

Yeah I love mine. Definitely a cut above the rest and worth it. It stays in my truck because I never know when I’ll use it.

[@Stuart68505]

Thanks helpful ideas

[@dtwil7789]

Appreciated

[@beemikeme]

Newbie here. How long will your chain stay sharp? Assuming you don't hit any metal or dirt, can you saw for 8 hours or do you need to stop periodically to sharpen the chain?

[@clintonadrian4958]

Sometimes when limbing from one side the tree will roll toward you as you cut the branches supporting the trunk. Had it happen to me but i saw it coming. Maybe some safety tips on that ?

[@ingbelt]

thanks bro.

[@poppygradfather9375]

G'day , near 70 yo , haha how i have not injured myself until now ? just dumb luck , haha , Enjoying watching your work . bugger wish you were local . as i have some Bloody big trees here , around the House 100 yo plus ? . Damn i do not like climbing 30 mtrs - 35 yards up a tree anymore . too top cut . bloody dangerous . haha

[@qstrian]

Cutting the top limbs allows the bottom limbs to stabilize the tree trunk.

[@DeliveryBryan]

Is your saw ported ?

[@doughewitt3362]

What saw are you using?

[@ErickvdK]

Turn off the wind already...!😂

[@WarrenStarCat]

Sorry I do not see any example of removing limbs that are under pressure that would cause the tree to " fall " significantly. This is what we are looking for here. Otherwise very good Video. Maybe I am missing something.

[@maisagrouptvSport-Today]

Cutting trees 🌳 for this????

[@zato6226]

So much talking!! Cut then talk, cut then talk. Holly shi*!! Get a friend..
