I like the fact that when something doesn't work your willing to admit it. We're guys, we do things, we learn things from others, and we just go out and do it. We don't usually have cameras recording us. When we sometimes fail, we learn from it. It's the only way we succeed. But none of us want to admit, nevertheless show it on video. You are a true "Man with inspirational meek qualities"! That's a God send; Hold Fast and stay true!

Most important part of chopping down a tree: After you finish punching the trunk out, you need to look up inside the tree and punch the hidden trunk out, otherwise the top of the tree will stay floating in the air, then wait around a minute to collect some saplings and apples that fall.

Down the youtube rabbit hole i go.

[@ladyofthemasque]

I've done some fighting in the SCA (medieval fighting), and I've discovered that for gals, an underhand blow (upward swinging cut) is easier for gals while it's harder for guys, and an overhand blow (downward swinging cut) is harder for gals, but conversely easier for guys. I did some research, and it turns out the physiology of it has to do with how the tendons connect to muscles & bones, and the subtle differences in how our joints fit together. So for guys who are swinging an axe, it is definitely harder to swing up into the tree from below, but ladies who are equally conditioned to the work will probably find it the better angle of attack for them.

[@bavarianpotato]

Probably not, hitting downwards will provide you with extra energy due to gravity.

[@ladyofthemasque]

It's not about the extra energy due to gravity. It's about how the shoulder joint, the tendons, and the muscles are all put together. Please consider reading "The Armored Rose" by Tobi Beck, to understand the differences in physiology at play. @@bavarianpotato

[@TaytaMade]

One thing that bugged me about this video... You debarked the tree to save your saw but cut right into the bark???

[@wranglerstar]

What can I do to make it up to you Brent?

[@JrLeon]

I was thinking the same thing. All that work taking off the bark to saw through bark still. Was on the upper edge so maybe not as bad. lol Maybe on the backside more cutting will be made saving the saw.

[@TaytaMade]

You do not have to make anything up to me... Hope you didn't take that the wrong way... I enjoy the fact that you take pride in what you do and the tools of your trade... I was just pointing out what I noticed...

[@libb3n]

How can you call that cut to be RIGHT INTO the bark? That was a debarked area and the cut that the saw went threw was like green wood all the way.

[@benprice9121]

A saw and a axe are two different tools that wear differently. I'm no expert but personally I do the same. Bark is brittle and can make starting a straight cut hard. And it will save your saw.

[@terryh6655]

a 2 years ago comment lol: he started at the bottom part because he chopped down the "tree part" (i'm french, i dunno technical language of woodcutting) with the top part of bark free area ! no need to switch your axe into bark when you're attacking the tree to cut it down, it's boring af !

[@blblbl4543]

​@Bunty McCunty antisemite= someone i can trust

[@Die__Ene]

A dutchman in woodfelling isn't a bad thing in itself, only if you didnt plan on doing it. It is a technique where you use the bit he explained as a hinge to perfectly aim the tree. The technique hes using does not benefit from having a dutchman, hence why he explained it as a negative thing.

[@BadDadio]

One reason to leave the stump long is that this gives leverage to pull out with a tractor if you want to remove the stump rather than cutting at ground level.

[@xBeauGaming]

Cody has always been the father I never got for me. As a person, I aspire to be self-reliant and know my surroundings, while owning land to call my own.

[@lupusgreywood]

This is really neat because my grandfather worked for a logging company and this would’ve been the techniques he used. (He was a Forman after a bit though so not sure if he still cut then). *We live in Ontario Canada just for some extra clarification*

[@mikelewellen4195]

@will Smith I've been falling oaks of all types with axes for quite awhile, a good sharp axe with the right bevel and a live wet tree isn't too awfully terrible, nowhere near as easy as a pine or fir, but with a good sharp axe a person can make chips as big as the ones in this video.

[@TheWhedgit]

Haven't finished the video yet - but who thumbs down a forestry maintenance video? You are helping the environment and teaching at the same time!!!

[@NotQuiteLucid]

[@michaelcameron5531]

Hah! Thought the exact same thing.

[@remusujica]

cutting a tree 1,5 meters above ground level because you don't want to work on your knees is not forestry maintenance...

[@majiccarpet5688]

A barber chair is when the trunk of the tree splits up the lenght of the tree. not when your holding wood brakes off. dangerous cause the trunk will donkey kick way up at you depending on the sevarity. it could split way up like 4 feet or more like ive wittnessed then brake off and fall down beside the stump. and hit you or your expencive saw. for those of you who learn by doing. take a 4 inch tree works best on ash. back cut it without a knotch about half way or a small bit more. grab the tree and pull it over and you will then under stand what a barber chair is. next you have to learn when to expect one out of a tree.

[@SeanFitzPatrick100]

A good introduction to some of those terms, but maybe talking about the lean and load would be a good thing on sizing up a tree before taking it down?
