Hi Jason, Always nice when they fall where you want them to! Can't wait for another adventure with Fred! How are those little trees you planted along your house doing?? Take Care! Stay safe!! Jim
Standing dead trees are a fire hazard, so I would say that generally speaking, unless you plan on a controlled burn, its really best to take them down and even then, its best even for a controlled burn to take out the dead because high flying embers can cause a wide spread wildfire way outside of your control and get you in a TON of trouble with others!!!
Don’t know much about chainsaws, but it appears that is a really good one and you have it in tip top shape. I know better, but you make it look light the way you cut with it.
Hey Jason.. couple questions. What’s the difference in making the wedge cut from the top or the bottom, what’s the reason for “stabbing” and how do you figure out how far the rot goes up? Thanks. Great video 🍻👍
Hi Bill. All good questions. I take the wedge out of the stump so I don't waste any wood in the log. The stabbing is to determine if there is rot in the log near the stump, and you never know how far the rot goes until you buck it up and see. Sometimes it goes up 4' other times it goes up 30'
Jason is the modern day "Johnny Appleseed"! Thanks, Jason!
Thank you for leaving some habitat trees.
Jason, you nail the targot drop spot everytime. Fun to watch.
Jason has earned plugs in
