I never gave it much thought but notching small tress really is a great way to practice and hone your skills. You’re really getting smooth and efficient with the 170. I’m going to predict that you’ll absolutely love running the excavator and I bet you’ll be great at it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I'm definitely getting a lot of practice and feeling more and more comfortable with it 🙂 Really looking forward to driving the excavator, I hope you're right though I'm sure there will be a bit of a learning curve 🙂
One thing I learned from my neighbor about "Bucking small trees" on the ground is to cut most of one side and the roll them over to finish the cut. Great video, it's awesome to watch!
Sarah you're getting better all the time. Nothing wrong with moving brush out of the way. Work smarter not harder. Take care and have a blessed weekend and I'll see you on your next vidja.
Nice video Sarah, suggestion if I may, cut a marking stick at the desired length, looks like 4ft to cut your small diameter logs, maybe wrap some brightly colored tape to locate easily . When cutting, align ends , glance at spot (don’t blink haha) cut -done. All logs same exact length for “ buckin” later. See you on your next entry, take care.
Thanks! I've used a 4ft stick to measure my logs before and actually found it super handy for prying and moving logs as well. I didn't bother for these trees since they'll be used for outside firewood so the measurement didn't need to be super precise. Just estimated using the length of my bar.
I have a 170 too. Its great i strongly recommend to upgrade the bumper to a metal spike. The plastic doesnt do it justice. I also upgraded to a 16” .50 gauge bar for it too. I found the 14” bar wasnt long enough. Cheers
Hi Sarah! Great job. I just bought an ms170 a few weeks ago and haven't even used it yet! Lol. I have been cutting wood and logs for over 35 years and still keep my work area cleaned up. Nothing wrong with that!! I would gladly have you work right alongside me! Take care
A few years ago I hurt my lower back doing bucking due to having really tight hamstrings. Do you ever feel lower back fatigue or pain? It’s a weak link in the human body that lower back. Maybe in a video you can talk about ergonomics, stretching, any tips or tricks to keeps us cutting pain free longer?
Love it how you respect the saw, even though it it's a small one it isn't less dangerous (maybe even the opposite). You see a lot of idiots on TH-cam with this saw so this vid was quite relieving. Stay safe!

Great Job: Keeping a clean work area is really important. I use lightweight chainsaw for work like that. So much easier to work with.
Thank you! I agree, my body is much happier doing this type of work with a lighter saw 🙂

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy your new 170, it's a really great little saw 🙂
I would definitely practice the different notch types. Conventional, open face, and Humbolt, and learn how to use them and why.
That would be an interesting and informative segment
Cool idea! Thank you, I'll look into it! 🙂
Not trying to promote other channels here, but there's an awesome video on the 'guilty of treeson' channel about all kind of notches you can use.
Looks all good to me
Thanks 🙂
love it 🥰
Wow Sarah you are today is so pretty ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! 🙂
@@TheRealSarahCatherine you're welcome ❤️
Practice makes perfect.

Good idea! I've had a few aches and pains since I got started, I'm still learning how to manage them, but I could share what I've figured out so far 🙂

Thank you! I hope I never get complacent, even with a small saw. Stay safe as well!
Like 🙋🏻♀️ 😍 😍 🤗 🤗
First 😅 anyways looks like your getting comfortable with your saw. Congrats; just be careful of your ponytail while cutting 😊
Thank you! I still feel pretty awkward, but much less than when I started, so progress I guess 🙂 No worries, I'm always keeping an eye on the hair!
