That's a 3ft diameter tree! I only know this because I once chopped down a similiar sized tree with an axe. It took a while lol.
Some wedge blocks and a sledgehammer helps the process along nicely. Nice drop either way.
Thanks, Doug I am sitting here sipping my coffee and you said, "Look what we accomplished YOU and me." Great that was really easy glad to help out...😂😂😂😂😂😂love you guys ❤❤🧡🧡💛💛💙💙💚💚💜💜🤎🤎
I am impressed. Big trunk, little saw. Great content. Great fall.
The only thing missing was someone yelling "TIMBER!"
When you are bitten by fire ants, make some mud and smear it on your bites. The bumps do not blister, the redness goes away, and no more scars. I learned this accidentally when I was planting in my garden. I dug holes for the already established plants, filled the holes with water, and started placing the plants in each hole. Fire ants were running everywhere and bit both of my hands. I dipped my hands in the water and dirt (mud) to get rid of the ants which did not work. I finally slapped them off. I never broke out! I have used this many times and it works every time. I didn’t place mud on one lone bite and it was itchy and blistered. I even used it on my granddaughter and it worked on her as well. I know this sounds crazy, but it works.
Great info. Fire ants are the worst.
White vinegar works wonders. Florida Native here and white vinegar stops the itching and scratching and they don’t blister. Also great for jellyfish stings! I’ve learned the hard way a time or two or ten.
Mustard works also for bites
It works on bee stings too!
Thank you so much. I have experienced them in small doses which is bad enough BUT recently I stepped on a mound I didn’t see, and holy coooowww! I couldn’t get my flip flops off fast enough. Even beating them off my feet sent them running up my hands, wrists and arms. I now know what Hades feels like, lol. And the itching afterwards is almost worse. Seriously, thank you for anything that helps.
Heck yeah, that was a BIG tree drop! Fire ants are no joke, can't believe you stood on a mound!
Country folks know how to have fun❤
Dewalt needs to send you money! Money 💰 money 💵 money 💴!!!
Pro tree fellers jaws are dropping.
Great job. The tree would have fallen 5 minutes earlier if you yelled "Timberrrrrr". It was waiting on your cue.
I learned to spray my shoes with ant killer and bug repellent. That kept the fire ants off me.❤
Phenomenal how you just dropped that tree not only with a baby chainsaw but a battery powered one
TIMBER!!!!! Epic, guys, epic.
You worked with what you had, got it done and nobody was hurt. Great job!
Doug, Do some research & see if there are any portable sawmill operators in your area that would be willing to slab that tree trunk up for you. Just a thought. Keep up the good work. Peace ✌️
Florida girl here. If you have fire ants better nip that in the bud. They can take over a property pretty quickly & almost impossible to stop when that happens. Happened to us.
Good work on the tree. Lots of wonderful hardwood to use for creating a piece of furniture. I hope you recover from the Fire ants. There are indeed demons!
So glad it went well , small saw , big tree 🌲 great job 👏🏻
WOW! It's a miracle you didn't get hurt at all.
Fire ants are the WORST!
I really enjoyed the popping and cracking sounds and the slow movement as the tree fell. I do enjoy the everyday life, no hustle and bustle , slow and easy life you have.
It was epic!
Great footage of the fall!
Wow! That was awesome! Sorry you got all bit up . Take care
Wow, that was an amazing drop, good job. The worst part of this tree fell, were those ants! Glad we could help, lol.
THE SLOWEST tree falling I've ever seen! Great job.
Yes, that was epic. Welcome to the family of cool country folk.
Doug you just loved every minute of this. I loved your joy and smile afterwards!
I LOVE the sound of trees cracking and dropping!! 😍 We just dropped a bunch of trees and two of them were huge black walnut trees! Great video!! Hugs 💞
Doug was quite the lumberjack.
According to his measurements the diameter of the tree would have been around 3 feet.
Like a David against a Goliath he was able to take it down with the small chain saw.
A very satisfying tree drop 😊
Thanks for bringing us along.
Glad you are wearing your Safety Slippers for this job.
😂
Epic Doug. You slayed the giant. Good video.
I am buying that saw.
When I lived in Texas, I HATED fire ants! They even came up the walls and got into our 2nd floor apartment.
Knew you could do it!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Doug, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you with a bigger smile. This is a great video. And to add to drama is the supporting cast of fire ants.
The little chainsaw that could, & DID! ❤
That was awesome!! So much fun, and Doug was really funny. 👍👍😊
I see Eevee standing by the trampoline with sunglasses, Is she playing the undercover boss?
Sure thing! 😎
Well done totally impressed
You guys are amazing. Always exciting watching your channel. Enjoy all your videos. Stay safe prayed up and happy. Love and Blessings 🫶🏼🌺🙏🏻🫶🏼🌺🙏🏻
Exciting, great job
Wow. That’s some scary stuff!!
That was awesome!!! Great editing!!!
The little chainsaw that could!
That was cool. Yeap, that's how us country folks do it. God bless you guys. 🐈🦋
Id go buy some Dawn soap right now. Its sure worth a try!
So exciting to listen to and watch.
As a gardener, I would remove the vines growing on trees you want to keep. They will eventually kill your trees. ❤
Nothing defeats Douge!!
Or Doug either.
@@amalias8888 The "E" slipped in
Pretty good sized tree! Better to deal with it now before any storms/hurricanes come through and make the decision for you. At least you put it down where you wanted it. Shouldn't you be wearing protection eye gear? YES, Yes you should be.
I wash my fire ant bites with soap and water, dry and then use Balmex diaper cream on them. No blisters and no itch afterwards.
You crack me up. We too, live in the country. Doesn't take much to entertain us, Ha! That was a dramatic fall and crash. 😄
Wow that was definitely epic...wtg ...You guys will take on just about anything, thanks for the entertainment!
That was so COOL !!!!!AWESOME!!!!!
Doug now that little saw & YOU did a great job. Evee do you ever think his brain is in constant thinking mode & never rests. Or do you just say DOUG WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? Yet again he does the unthinkable a tiny saw & one man cuts massive tree down. I really enjoyed watching & hearing this tree fall. I guess I don’t get off the farm much & well I’m easily entertained at my age 62 lol. GOD BLESS from West Central Indiana Farmland
WOW that was great to watch and hear. Great job with such a small chainsaw.
Good luck Doug
Yes at least you have a shitload of space
And I'm so enjoying the whole video. We must be freaks and weirdos
That was cool! Thanks for sharing!
Well Doug I got to let you know buddy I've cut down a lot of trees and I've never had any tree sound like that and I think that was really really awesome the way it crackled a little bit and stuff like that that was a beautiful Drop good job brother
We had a fire on our wooded property which damaged several large trees. We got a quote to have them taken down. About $700 per tree. You saved yourself a lot of money there! And I loved the footage of the fall. So fun.
Somewhere... a beaver is crying (or possibly laughing)... LOL
Wow. That was a tense wait. 😂.. Keep. Doing. You !!! 🌻🌵🎶🌳
You guy’s have a wonderful safe weekend ❤
That was really cool!
Wow! That's all I can say!!! That must have been something else in real life. Thanks for the video.
You could carve a totem pole with the electric chainsaw from a piece of the trunk, the kids can draw pictures for you as a plan.
Unfortunately trees die. Which is why you should never plant them too close to the house. I’ve been taking out mine since I moved in. Thankfully they’re not this big. I’ve got a small battery powered chainsaw. Great job Doug
Dare devil Doug strikes again. Great job.👍👏💪
You are extremely, extremely lucky that did not barber-chair on you.
* * Maybe you can make something out of slices.. a wall clock or table.. or just a stump to cut firewood. a side table next your outdoor chairs.. idk.. =D
Hey Doug, the ending was epic
That was WILD 🤩
This man never wears protective gear.😢😢😢😮
This should be an ad for Dewalt. Excellent job !
Tell them how great their saw work they might give u a new one you deserve it
They might
That was awesome! Ugh fire ant bites were my welcome to Florida gift when we moved there.
Doug, I wondered why you didn't use a few wood wedges to force the tree to fall quicker? You did a pretty good job taking that huge tree down with your battery powered chain saw. I can't believe you stood near a fire ant nest and cut that tree down. You are braver than me and definitely have a higher pain tolerance. lol Phil
Cool video! Loved hearing the cracking sound. Hope you feel better soon Doug!
Wow I held my breath a few times for that one Doug, Now the hard part starts it is beautiful wood .
That was pretty cool to watch, I too liked the crackling. Great video
Holy moly😮😮 that was cool 😎 😅 !! Great work 👏 see you in the next video 📹
That was a AMR moment when the tree cracked slowly with the weight of the tree fell in the splash of the water ! 😁👍. Btw the filming was awesome!!
I haven’t held my breath like that in forever 😳🤣!!!!
Good job, Doug ❤❤❤
… the ants 🐜 give marching one by one , hurrah, hurrah 🎶. 😩😩… OUCH 🙏
you made yourself a natural bridge!!
Awesome drop! I’m sure you saved a lot of money!
Probably saved around $500 to $1,000 doing it ourselves.
So fun! Thanks for being so entertaining! Sorry about those ants. ❤
When I moved to Oklahoma from Florida almost 30 years ago I thought I thought I had seen the last of fire ants. WRONG! They have now made it all the way to Central Oklahoma and they sting just as bad up here as they did down there.
That was amazing! I honestly didn’t think you could get it cut with that small chainsaw! 👏👍👏👍 Those bites are going to be miserable but I guess better to be bit up with the tree down in your way and time than when and how you didn’t want it down. I hope you heal quickly! 💕
Wow,that was so cool. Great job guys
.
Thank you for sharing! That’s an amazing chain saw!
Wow ! That is awesome ! Massives thumb up for this lumberjack job 👍
I was holding my breath! Way to go!!!!
wowzers the little saw is an amazing tool hugssssss
Doug and E V, I was biting my nails waiting for that tree to fall!! That little chain saw was a mighty tool! Who knew it would take care of a job so massive? I’m glad it fell where it did and everyone is safe. Sorry about the fire ants. Take care.💕
Great footage! Thankfully the camera was not destroyed. I was holding my breath as the tree creaked and fought gravity. Mission accomplished indeed! Well done family!
You never cease to amaze me! Thanks!
I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Good job Doug.
Good morning family ❤❤❤❤you're a amazing man great job
It was truly amazing, how long it took for that tree to finally fall after the cuts had been done! The creaks and pops of the wood straining were so dramatic, LOL
What an epic tree fall 😊
That was very cool! I've always enjoyed watching trees get cut down and love the sounds they make as they fall. We had several done on our property a few years ago. I have my fingers crossed for the camera.
Doug 😅 no fear! You can do it 👏👏😎🙌 much love 🤗❤😊
Wow, the anticipation!!😮
But it was so worthwhile. Great job!
