BC Faller Training Standard - Heavy Lean (12 of 17)

This video series is the companion to the BC Faller Training Standard, which was designed to teach new fallers safe work procedures for falling and bucking. The goal is to help workers with forestry experience develop the knowledge, attitude, skills, and abilities that will enable them to function as safe and productive fallers. Note: Some practices demonstrated were modified for filming and may not be consistent with the BC Faller Training Standard.

Just my two cents from a guy who grew up as a kid in Ontario & B.C. that has been around falling the better part of my life. If you aren't aware of when a tree is still standing to when it's starting its fall you shouldn't be in that environment. Look up more then looking at your saw, start your cut and let the saw chase the wood. Look up cause a 1" lean a foot above the saw is a yard stick 40' up the tree.

These r the best videos of tree felling on TH-cam great job

[@sirMAXX77]

Damn. That last one, it looks like it was about to lift itself out of the ground. His reaction was totally "Oh fuck!"

[@ScottWConvid19]

Thank you for helping to keep us safe out in the field. 👍

[@peterh4446]

Outstanding video! Excellent information!

[@TheLaughingMan_]

Hearin’ the crack and seeing the taller dig in until that massive snap, scares the mess out of me. Haha. Haven’t seen much big wood action out east. That was awesomez

[@lenhart8304]

Thanks for posting.

[@axiomaddict]

Wow! Good thing I don’t have to make a living felling trees. I’ve done a few out of necessity and my natural caution meant it took me about an hour to cut one, 12” diameter tree! You all have my greatest respect. I suspect that there’s a lot of framing wood that took someone with it...

[@lutoborsowianin8792]

Thanks for the film materials - from the Poland, it is a great help a lumberjacks / chainsawers :)

[@PrototypeONegative]

Hey Eric, for some reason the new youtube doesn't let me reply to you but my uneducated guess is that the trees in BC are so big (lots of weight on top) and the outer layer of the trees look quite brittle, so it's hard to estimate the amount of holding wood needed for the trigger. If the tree starts crumbling during the bore cut it's harder to escape.

[@dirtyshirtinfo]

Damn. When the trigger is being cut and the holding wood breaks virtually all of the earth in the frame lifted. Check please, time to go.

My grandad was cutting those with axe and crosscut. That is a whole different ball of wax.

[@mwillis8090]

after watching another video, I noticed this faller kept cutting (2nd tree) after tree slightly moved and crackled.... from what I seen in the other video, it was critical the faller kept cutting... if he would have stopped, it would have barbered.

[@MikeD-lo9yb]

This is the first time in one of these videos I have seen a guy dump his saw and GTFO. Can hardly blame him when the whole root mass started shaking! 9.35

[@Rays_Bad_Decisions]

I like that t cut that's useful!

[@mikearmstrong7830]

You should decrease the escape trimming when you reach your recliner.

[@lashlarue7924]

Wow! 😬 Dropped the saw and dipped outta there! 🫡

[@boblynch2554]

That's a tree only a professional should cut. beautiful watching a true pro at work
