    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.

    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.

  • @ladyofthemasque
    @ladyofthemasque 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    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.

      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

    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.

    at 9:50 I heard a metal on metal "ting", it was probably nothing but that's why I like cutting low.someone made have pitched a tent,hung a temporary clothesline or a piece of barbed wire. Great job.

      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.

    excellent video again! thank you for sharing this knowledge i enjoy cutting my own firewood as well even though all i use is a power saw. With great videos like this i feel better about trying the old ways to harvest a tree that may not be leaning the perfect way. thank you for the safety part about the where the flat cut meets the angle. i have cut many trees and have never paid much attention to this part because well i didn't know. these videos are a real inspiration. God bless your family

    When i was like 10 I wanted to be a lumber jack so for 10 bucks I bought a small dull hatchet thinking it was big enough for the job so for about three days I choped and choped and it finally came down then I realised I needed to chop it into logs i put gas on the tree and burnt it all up

    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. I never got that, I got a sheltered suburban life. To have someone like him to just listen to, learn how to use the hardware I bought, and figure out my self reliance has been a true blessing.

    Standard stump height through much of the Western US is one foot or less. Cody usually exceeds this when he "mushrooms" the stump.
    Hope you move your truck Cody. For all your good work, trees sometimes do not obey! "Timber!" is not a directional phrase.

    • @michaeldougfir9807
      @michaeldougfir9807 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The answer is twofold. First is very thorough seasoning of the wood. The second part is annual chimney maintenence.
      Millions of people enjoy burning pine. But the trick is to do it right.

    @joshholton4712 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cut down my first large tree with a hunters axe (my sharpest axe and I was working in close proximity to another trunk). I didn't have a crosscut saw so I had to make the upcuts. Honestly the hardest part was making the back cut at an angle to where I could fell it without a wedge. I ended up sharpening my full size axe to get some deeper cuts using more of my body to leverage the head deep enough to start the tree over. Once I heard the first crack, I hightailed it out of there because I wasn't sure if that log wasn't going to rebound! Fortunately she fell clean and I can say my first "large" tree (a 10 in white oak) took me about 45 minutes. Now processing the sucker will be something else without a splitting axe or maul.
