Never get your Chainsaw stuck again!

[@yking333]

I do a bit of timber work myself. Not a pro, def not as good as you. But for your last tip of bringing two chainsaws: a cheaper option for your viewers would be bringing a second bar and chain. If your bar gets pinched, turn off the saw, safety brake on, and detach the motor from the pinched bar. Your bar will still be in the tree but the motor will be free. Then put the second bar and chain on, and free your bar. Def agree w you for having two, but this will save your viewers a few bucks and having to maintain two saws. Shared w respect, love your videos.

Chainsaw video. Prayers answered 🙏 It's actually incredible that this thing happened to me for the very first time 5 days ago and I was blessed that some stranger was cutting wood right beside me and he helped me release my stuck chainsaw with his. Amazing content, just in time.

[@JyveKilla]

ultimately if one end is unsupported, the weight of the log will pull the gap open and theres no issue like in your demo. if both ends are supported and you cut between, the soon to be 2 pieces will fall in on each other closing the gap. another tip you might already know. if your bar does start to pinch, dont stop. try and keep the chain spinning and pull out. this is the only time i know where pulling out is appropriate. ;)

Brilliant - Really helpful and really clearly explained. Many thanks....... All the way from London !

[@carlamarlene2927]

I love to watch you split wood, but hearing the chainsaw brings back memories. Thank you

[@stevenschuster]

Helpful tips! Thats a big ass trunk/tree too. Nice work!

Wow - that tree was huge! I love the videos, even though I don’t see myself felling trees anytime soon. The new editing and graphics are 💯. Keep ‘em coming.

[@ThorenBradley]

Will do, my man! Thank you

[@Project337]

Ok now a chainsaw buying guide.

[@jaidensparks3845]

buy a 500i for big stuff, a 362 for everything else and a 261 if you're making tons of smaller cuts

[@scottinWV]

Buy a second saw and use it. Keeping your old saw as a backup. keep repeating this cycle and you end up with a room full of old saws like we have. LOL!

[@ThorenBradley]

BRO YES!

[@sagsag1537]

Love this ❤👍 do you have a video for tips about filing the chain? I just use a chainsaw for cutting my own firewood, but I still need and love a sharp chain.

[@edmontonlivermoore4935]

Dude this entire time I thought you were just a content creator but you actually know your shit and you’re not using schmuck brands for saws. Consider me converted!

I think he said at some point on his channel or in a different interview I saw of him that he paid his way through college by working as an arborist

[@BespokeCarpentry]

Good video, will help alot of people for sure. A video I'd like to see from you it felling a tree with only an axe. So many people do it completely wrong, and it would be nice to see a video of how to do it correctly

[@huckster51-dontplaydat]

"A giant tree keeping it in place" less than a minute. good.

[@breaking_bear]

Nice cuts! Is that the MS 500i? Did you have your Stihl ported?

[@johnowens4334]

U know I figured out just cutting thru the tree sideways is a game changer. It’s definitely a core work on the obliques, but u don’t have to worry about ur chainsaw getting stuck. Figured this out last season

[@franciscomando6822]

Hey man, fan here putting all your advice to practice, somewhat related question: What makes Stihl chainsaws the notoriously preferred ones worldwide? Husqvarna follows and after that it is a salad of brands that you rarely see on professionals hands, I have a Hyundai(you can laugh) but I want a Stihl bad and have no idea why.... thoughts? Firm handshake from Uruguay.

Super glad there's a red arrow in the thumbnail to point my monkey brain in the right direction.

[@rotorhead5000]

If while making your down cut, you can actually watch the gap at the top of it, and you will actually be able to see it just start to close up, thats when I change to step 2 (whichever one seems smart for the situation) , also with a wedge going down in from the top, if you put it in as soon as there is room for it, you dont even need to drive it in, just stuff it by hand, and that will hold all the space you need unless you are cutting dead center of a large tree in an un-supported section. For me I always get it stuck in small pieces, limbwood while I'm cleaning off the canopy, so smaller than the height of tbe bar. A second chainsaw doesnt have to be expensive, I always bring my big saw, and a little saw with me when I'm cutting and you can find small homeowner style saws (35-40 cc, 16" bar) for dirt cheap, and while you wouldnt want to buck with it all day, its great to limb with vs the heavy saw, and it will do the job to make a cut to relieve pressure in the wood when you get your good saw pinched.

[@deputyvanhalen6386]

I haven't chainsawed logs for years. I think I recall sawing from the top say 30, 40%, and doing several stripe cuts like that along the log and then rotating the log and then doing the remainder from the top, with the cut strips on the bottom! And I'd also do it like you. Funny thing is after so many years (10?!) I've got some long logs to do.

[@cars_coffee_carl]

Last good advice i got for cutting up logs was to do all the 30% cuts from above, then roll the log with your Fällheber (don't know the english word for that tool) and then complete the cuts. This way you only need to roll the log once and you don't risk to sink your chain in the ground. Of course that works only with rollable logs.

[@felix-eeee]

I'll keep this in mind if I get a chainsaw, I currently only have handsaws

[@ThorenBradley]

handsaws are cool af

[@felix-eeee]

@@ThorenBradley thanks, I personally use silky saws, they work great and hardly ever get stuck unless they get pinched in a tree

It can happen to anyone. My dad has been cutting down trees for almost 60 years. Got his saw stuck badly in a 30 inch thick tree.

[@gostshel88]

Is that a 500i? Such a slick lookin saw

[@dertobbe1176]

It just came into my Mind... What do you do for living? I mean is youtube your Main income? Or do you sell the wood? What is your Main Business Thoren?

[@IB2FAT4U]

Used to work at a saw mill in the debarking department up in northern Quebec. Can confirm even the pros get it pinched. 2 chainsaws (lol sometimes 3) best choice! 🤣

[@PadLock94]

A cheaper alternative to bringing a second saw is a spare bar and chain

[@ThorenBradley]

Certainly. I'm usually always bringing a limbing/climbing saw along. So the investment is probably still worthy

[@Gmatammy4]
