My grandpa worked in the woods before the days of hardhats. His hat was only made of wool and looked like a fedora. One day on the job a sharp stick came down out of a tree he was sawing and hit him in the head. It was only about as big around as your finger but it went through his skull and came out his eye socket before going into his nose. It popped his eye out. He was two hours out in the woods the only way out was by speeder. He was lucky. The doctor had to cut the stick out of his head, and was able to put his eye back in the socket. By some miracle his eye was not hurt, but he lived the rest of his life with a metal plate in his skull. Believe me hard hats were one of the first things the unions addressed and as soon as gramps could get one he got one. He never went into the woods without his "tin lid" as he called it. He also had sawed off pants and custom made cork boots cause he was short and wore a size 4 boot. His story is just one of many I know about family and friends injured while logging. It's a dangerous business and I am thankful there are still guys like you out there doing the job, but practicing better safety while doing it. My step dad died because of logging, he had his skull broken and his front teeth knocked out because a guy set his chokers badly. They came off the tree and smacked him in the head. He survived and went back to the woods. The injury caused him to develope a brain tumor which he died of when I was 15. Life in a logging family is tough, and odds are the longer you log the more likely for injury, even when being careful, so stay sharp and I'll pray every day God keeps you safe.

Aluminum feels lighter to me than plastic, but the main reason to wear aluminum even though they’re expensive if you can’t yell for help, you can bang on that aluminum hardhat like a symbol. Compare the aluminum to the plastic see which one travels farther in the woods. I guarantee you’ll hear the aluminum far away.

Many years ago my uncle was wearing a baseball type hat while sawing. He had a kick back... The chain chewed off most of the tip of his nose. The hat was chewed up but he believes the plastic inside the brim was just enough to keep the saw from chewing up his forehead as it folded down over his face. The plastic surgeon did a fairly good job of reconstructing his nose but to this day the damage is noticeable. I always wear a forestry helmet!

Personally, for me a hardhat is plenty, gloves I can't feel the saw, chaps get tangled in brush and briars and I think if you can't get away from the tree if something goes wrong because you can't move, it's a lot more dangerous to get smashed by the tree, than cut, both are terrible, first hand experience has taught me that. And chaps are extremely hot. My own thoughts on it, you definitely had a close call!! It's amazing that a limb doesn't have to be very big to do a lot of damage!

I like these thin neoprene gloves, otherwise I hear you on not being able to feel. The chaps I wear come down to right about the top of my boots. They cover the most vulnerable areas but are high enough that I don’t get tangled in the brush like I used to in the ones that go down lower. But you are right it’s a question of what is more dangerous and I can’t argue with you there.

Yikes. Not sure a hardhat would have kept the kickback from causing an injury but it might have kept it from being deadly. As an aside for anyone else watching this video, not only should you have a hardhat you should also have a mesh face shield and saw chaps. Make sure the chaps are rated for electric saws if that's what you have, because an electric saw will torque right through what will bind up a gas saw.

Mike, you forgot to mention the reason Rick and Tim were wearing hard hats was because we observed you on your channel wearing a comfortable, light, cool as in airflow and cool looking Forester hardhat. I've been working in the woods for close to 50 years. Only wearing the "bulky hardhats" when required by the job. Thankfully wearing this hardhat doesn't require much getting used to. The tree that hit us was 20 yards behind us and the tree we were taking down. Completely unexpected. As for the short comments......every time we show a video where we have a small camp fire in the woods we get comments like.....GO AHEAD SET THE WOODS ON FIRE!....or.... THATS HOW FOREST FIRES GET STARTED....as an ex-forest fire fighter, I think we know what we are doing 😒 Keep up the great videos.

Quite a similar story happened to one of my chainsaw instructors - he had been working in the woods, teaching some students, when like in your case, a stick, no thicker than a finger, fell down point first and smacked him right on the head - He had been wearing a hard hat and that saved him, but our designs looked more like a firefighter's helmets, so it slid on the side of the helmet and smacked him on top of the shoulder. Even after loosing some energy with that initial hit, it left him with a bruise the size of a fist and he couldn't use that arm properly for days. After hearing that story we didn't need much convincing to keep our hats on. Most people just don't understand how mass+velocity works and how nasty a little branch may be.

Not sure how common they are in the US, but in Europe there are hard hats for forestry work, which include a mesh visor for eye protection and hearing protection. Further there are pants with a cutproof layer instead of chaps, since the pants don't slide around and won't limit mobility - they feel like some normal pants, just warmer. Perfect since most forest work here takes place in the awfully long winter. It doesn't stop here, there are also cutproof boots. Same as the pants they contain some kevlar fibers stopping the chain when you try hitting those bugs around you with the saw and accidentally get too close to your limbs... Plus gloves for a better grip and warmer hands. Although my main saw has heated handles, but there's still work to be done that requires gripping other objects. Wedges, axes and the like. Those are the minimum items that are definitely on me when I start a chainsaw. Even if it's just an electric one to "quickly remove that bush over there". No worries, there are still plenty options left to get killed in an accident, but if I can avoid stretching my luck, I'll do it.

Late for a comment. Hope you see it. I grew up in the woods in the Pacific Northwest. I wear a my 60 year old hard hat whenever I am working in the woods or on trees at home. I’ve seen dozens of jagged pieces of fir (Douglas fir) limbs fall and bury 2 feet or more in the dirt and duff. Many of these where close to an active faller but I also have friend who lost sight in one eye from being hit by a branch on a windy day ( no hard hat). My uncle lost an ear and got a metal plate in the side of his head from a kick back. He was wearing No hard hat, just a ball cap. Great video. Great work in the woods. Keep sharing your good ideas.

I discovered your channel about a month ago and really enjoy them. I love this one on hard hats. I grew up in Northern California, my Dad was a logger and I use to set chockers behind his D-8 as a kid. You would never see him without a hard hat like yours (well not the same color 🙂). Those cables get pretty big for a skinny kid. I'm still in the woods on a ranch cleaning up roads with the dozer and cutting firewood for our on personal use.

Im just gonna drop one right here before I even watch because I know why. I've seen saw hands walk back out of the woods and into the loader set with hardhats busted and teeth chipped from falling limbs that were pretty small relatively speaking. If they hadn't had a hardhat on I don't think I would have seen them walk out.

I wear safety glasses after I got brake dust in my eyes. I wear a helmet after a 12" limb bounced off my hearing protector band on top on my head while I was doing some tree trimming. I wear chain saw chaps after a slip caused me to nick my jeans at my ankle with my chainsaw. The hearing protectors? I'm just sensitive to noise. One would think I should take some pointers from others rather than learning from experience.

Sort of interesting that the hat saved a face/skull in two different cases when the saw kicked back. Now that chain is going up if it kicks back straight with no twisting of the saw from one losing their grip on the handle bar and rear grip. My hard hat saved me from a small snag once, it was about 3 inches where it hit me dead center on the head, nary a bit spine injury or shoulder damage. I woke up with the woods boss and my brother leaned over me, the sky crane was hovering off to the side aways with the man basket already on the line, (so I had been out awhile). I walked out of the unit with the woods boss and took a few days off until i could turn my neck again. If I had a cheap plastic hardhat on, I think the story would have been a bit different. That was 45 years ago and my replacement hardhat is sitting next to my saw, ready everyday i work on my timberland property.

Excellent summary on a critical piece of safety equipment. Anyone who has worked in the woods with a chainsaw can appreciate the importance of this information. One day I was using my mini-excavator in the woods and a large limb fell on my roof (open cab). It would have crushed me for sure. Since that day I am always wearing a helmet when working in the woods regardless if I am using a power saw. I own several commercial (Husq, Stihl) hardhats with face shields. Do you feel the loggers hardhat offers better protection? Again, thanks for your great content and advice. This weekend 'logger' appreciates all you do on my behalf.

I have been making a point of always wearing my Stihl safety boots, plus always put on the logging pants I got (I find them easier than the chaps). I recently passed the "old age" threshold and do find that my short term memory perhaps isn't as good as it once was, so decided to try to protect myself from myself more diligently. Becoming a Darwin Award candidate would be just too embarrassing. Thanks for this. Any suggestions on what to buy (anything more specific that the metal style & modern suspension). Thanks again.

Very important topic and another great video! Interestingly, I was at a fair this past weekend and they had some woods work demonstrations. I went to see the directional felling talk and the first thing the instructor talked about was safety and specifically the hard hat. He said when you buy a hat to make sure it has five bands of support rather than four due to the added impact protection. When I got home I checked my hat and of course found only four straps. When you took your hat off in the video, I'm not sure, but I think I only saw 2 straps, something to consider I guess.

This is the most rain I've seen in a long time, it's unfortunate the central valley didn't get anything. I was thinking of you on our way back @@WilsonForestLands

I like your walking intros and enjoy the funny side and you experience you are passing on. I only a little experience with tree felling ;-) My family were Blacksmiths which is less dangerous than what you do. i can tell you must spend a lot of time to refine / editing a video before uploading a quality experience for me to watch. Thanks

Every hard hat needs decals. It makes them feel good. STP oil filters, Grateful Dead, aka your favorite bands, various power tools,products you find useful and recommend. Sawmill decals, your favorite cold snacks, etc.

4:15 not to mention limbs can just randomly fall. Which means anytime you're in the woods, you can get away with no gloves and no glasses, but no lid might be a bad decision.

You tube comments are interesting, from non subscribers… but the Shorts commenter is a real gem.

Hardhats good. Gloves can be tiring unless they have a grippy inner palm. When wearing a leather or fabric type glove I find that I have to grip harder to control the saw and rubbery palm gloves create sweat.

I use the blue neoprene gloves that have the fabric in the back that ventilate well. There is a black type of rubbery palm glove, it’s a thinner material and they are horrible for sweating. these kind I have not had a sweating problem with.

When I was just starting to get better at speed skating, my coach told me to get a helmet. I was like ok whatever (being a teenager), so I went and got one the 1st time I slipped and hit the oak floor. That helmet saved me from a concussion.. So I understand why certain safety equipment is needed..

That story reminds me of all the time I spent on a bicycle growing up, and all the things I did on one. Never wore a helmet, I was lucky.

Great video on the benefits of wearing a hard hat. Perhaps has saved many, many lives. I always wore mine working as a cutter. You never know when a branch will fall.

Or another way to put it, branches always fall, you never know when one is going to be above your head.
