Remember. It doesn't matter if you have years of practical, first hand experience. The guy in a chair in a basement is always going to be correct, and smarter than you.
You know what's funny? In case of COVID all the basement guys actually getting facts from real scientists and alternative "forbidden" sources beat the "official" experts at every step in this "Pandemic", exposing their disgusting BS.
So yeah. Power to the basements.
😂 God I hope you're being facetious!
👍😂 OFCOURSE!

Like when people tell you how to take a shit. It’s ok you have no other example. You know what you know.
@@possessed258 deadass lmfao
@Joseph Vas you’re an imposter. Nothing wrong with then notch. No back lean. No chance anything could happen other than fall into the notch. You’re guessing about something you have no clue about. I don’t care you claim you are a “cutter” whatever the hell that means. You flush stumps?

Yeah, I ain't doing that.
It's pretty fun actually.

Dude my hands are wet ngl
Best part is when the top comes down, rollercoaster fun!!!!
You can do anything you set your mind to! ❤😊👍
Probably because when youre a kid we really don't know the consequences of being that high up or the danger.@@rattaxi9645
Bruh you know you’re a professional when the log that falls off the tree is not only perfectly sized but also lines up with the other logs on the ground and does your taxes on the way down.

Personally I didn't like seeing him one hand the chainsaw.
@@rickputney5572 you must be an antichrist, whoops , that should read anarchist.
He doesn't have fallsafe equipment and he held the chainsaw in one hand whilst cutting. If the tree fell then and there he'd've dropped the chainsaw.
I commend these guys. Probably another day in the office for them, but this kind of work looks absolutely insane.

Lol.
@@EviMlcakclimbing up is the easy part, going down is another story (for me anyway). I’ve got MS and loss of balance appears to be a trademark sign of that disease. 😩 Whadayado ?

Man! Those Huskies really turn the RPM's! Seems like a pretty aggressive chain too. I've always been a Stihl guy but that is a bad ass limbing saw.
I had a old ass Polan with a 16 inch bar and it cuts better than this Husqvarna 450 we own. I miss that old ass saw.
Stihl guy here too... but yeh, the chain acceleration on Huskies is very impressive!
Stihl uses different port timing which results in torque and a slow chain. Husqy is usually a bit faster with less torque, but this saw sounds a little different, so could have had some port work done but kept the stock muffler.
You can tell this worker knows what they're doing, because all the previous cuts have all landed in nearly the same place and orientation.
It’s actually the only thing that can happen. It can’t fly over, it’s just going to go straight down. If you did it you would see. It just happens automatically. It looks pretty, but it happens automatically. Simple rule. Make the piece 20% of the stem you’re cutting, it will land flat every time. Every single time. Has nothing to do with the notch.
Yet some douche on here still has to say nope this guys trash, because that’s just the internet… isn’t it absolutely insane?
@@christianb8228 idk looks like he knew what he was talking about. Maybe you should fangirl
@@christianb8228 lmao he never said that, he just explained how it is the default scenario for this.

It's easy to see why groundskeepers, namely tree trimmers is the most hazardous job in the country with more work caused deaths than law enforcement coming in at 19. These people are severely underpaid.
I'm no expert... I've only chopped up trees after a hurricane but I can tell that this man is able to line up multiple logs like he did at the bottom... He looks like he's done this more than once. I'd hire him.
So satisfying to watch professionals of their field do their jobs
Sometimes I find it frustrating.. they make it look SO EASY!! Then I think "oh, I can do that, it looks super easy!" NOPE!!!
cutting off a stump? smh ffs
You’re excellent man.
He definitely knows what he's doing
Perfect notch , only has a short controllable section to drop , he knows what he is doing ! Wish I had the guts to climb like that !
tbh once you can drop the tree wherever you want everytime you're set
Yo I'm glad I don't got the courage to climb like that
Me to
Nah, I'm good keeping my feet on the ground.
@@dynamicworlds1 I usually bid myself out of the tall trees but when they are willing to pay Im okay with it. Until then I grind the stumps as long as I get at least 200$
Don't forget about the guys on the ground working the ropes when needed. Every good climber needs a good rope man and they need to trust each other and communicate well.
As a rope man I can confirm, we need large amounts of communication and knowledge to not only finish the job but not injure are selfs in the process.
No rope man in this video.
What ropes? The free climb harness?
@@quentinbaldwin1433 I actually am for my dads Company, we usually do smaller jobs for people looking to cut down a few trees or just looking for trimming nothing to big.
I have a few stories about how my dad have overlooked some logs that we where hoisting down and I would fly a good 7-8 feet in the air. Or equipment error that almost made a tree fall on a house! But thankfully a co-worker was quick thinking and fixed it.
Those are just the worst stories
We have actually done 100’s of jobs with no error.
They not even on the ground sum of the time my friends dad does this for cell towers and shit and they got to dangle him out of a helicopter sum times if the part he has to work on is too high up
Absolutely textbook shelfwood and clean cuts.
Didn't yell timber. How can he resist?
I wouldn’t be able to resist myself
it’s corny that’s why no one in tree work says that tbh
His too powerful tk be left alive
Maybe he plays ark
@@vqgav7680 ive heard alot of tree companies just say headache instead, it seems like they’re only concerned with saying it when theres people working below

For real though, I cringed at the thought that him leaning back and those orange ropes are really the only things keeping him up there.
@@sidzsotight they're wearing climbing spikes too. It feels just like standing on the ground when you're comfortable. Both ropes being around the tree is what we also call a "double buck"

Well he doesn’t have to do it forever. It for sure is a young guys job. You should see if he’d be interested in the mortgage industry. I’ve found it’s very recession proof, specially the “post closing”departments. It’s the kind of job that pays over 70k without a degree if you put the work in. 👈
@@indfnt5590 70k without a degree? I do development real estate, her sons probably clearing 2200 after taxes every week and that’s like a year or two in lmao

I use to do this for a living. About 4 years ago. Kinda miss it but not really. And your notch was perfect. Specially for a tight fall like that.
The sad thing is with this much risk they don't pay that much.
@@akshy471 amen brutha. My buddy drove a mail truck and made just as much if not more than we did. And he never had to get out his A/C or heat And we would work daylight to dark. Summer time sucked cuz it didn’t get dark till 8:30 sometimes 9.
@@denton7773 It’s one of those jobs where you gotta love it to do it
I feel the same. Did this for a few years before the Army. I miss the technical challenges but certainly not the labor. 😂
Kinda wondering why you didn't rope it down. I'm guessing there wasn't enough manpower on the ground, or nothing to tie off to.
It is way scarier than it looks. Lots of times when you top em' the tree shakes back and forth like a car antenna. Good job. Be safe bro.
looks to me like he knows what's Goin on. fuck the haters. you run it bud. respect from a steel fabricator.
The deeper wedge makes the trunk lean that's why he is cleaning and evening it all out to get the right lean. When he dose the back cut it's even all the way across the face and slow to allow Issac Newton to take over. %100 boss at his job
If you leave a big wide open hinge the top of the tree will fall quickly and when it pops off it will make the falling log roll over on its self, if you cut a narrow hinge it will fall slower and when it pops of the log will fall flat to the ground. Only (18years experience)
@@winchester8046 true, it's almost a math/geometry problem & those who don't get the physics can be killed or kill others or cause damage miscalculating, experience is a large factor
As with every different tree he can tell how much he can go in for the desired effect, its a surgical procedure with a power tool
You can also use saw as a steering wheel. I use to throw tops like that. I gotta admit though my wedges weren't that deel.id be scare of it landing on my lap. When I was nervous about a top I'd tie it off and have my ground an pull
Isaac Newton has nothing to do with gravity and if you believe he invented it you are slow brainwave... neither are any of the other fake inventors credible in your fake european history
Never knew a tree trunk could bear the weight of those ginormous balls
🤣🤣🤣
Best comment 💀
😂😂😂😂
Never do that when the entire tree is above you. The weight could shift the wrong way.
I believe that.
Love when people tell professionals what to do
@@DesoFox The professional in the video had only a small section of tree above him.
His skills are top notch
Bada boom!
Pun intended!
It literally had the same length as the others on the ground. You know your having a good day when it hits the ground and rolls next to the others.
On a straight and even spar like that, you can just feel your evenly spaced steps down, and cut....1,2,3,4 cut, ....1,2,3,4 cut,......

One of the hardest things to do in a physical labor jobs is trust the equipment and tools to do what they’re supposed to without malfunction. I could barely go 30 ft up in a scissor lift without having an anxiety attack. Hats off to this guy
Yeah thats very true
Yep, trusting in equipment is absolutely vital. I remember doing hazmat work and best believe I trusted those level A Hazmat suits and respirators with my LIFE lmfao so definitely, hats off to this fella
Nothing cuts better than a good sharp chainsaw
I like how he positioned the ropes *below* the cut. You probably get just one chance to screw that up
I just LOVE all these Social Media experts trying to tell the ACTUAL experts how to do their jobs. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been climbing and cutting for 40 years. This was dangerous and not right
@@manleynelson9419 explain then
For felling a tree from the ground, that notch was way too deep and could have caused the tree start falling early and in some unpredictable ways. For where he is though, and especially with how little top weight the section he is cutting has, he was fine.
Different types of felling requires different cuts and can definitely be called out as correct or incorrect.
I just LOVE all these social media experts trying to invalidate criticisms that they have absolutely zero expertise in just because they are from a comment.
His notch for a tight space is perfect . If the notch was smaller the tree would fall further out. If he was on the ground it would be different and similar. To reduce the kick back of the tree n dont come back to you . This guy is dope.
Honestly, been doing Tree Service and Canopy work for the last 8 years and let me tell you this dude knows what he's doin. Very clean cut managed the drop well and fell it right where he wanted it. Don't let these YT keyboard warriors tell you otherwise, most of them probably wouldn't even understand how to fell a tree in general or much less ecern start a chainsaw
@John Noname stop. You obviously don't know anything about tree service. 🙄 you never push a limb over when you've made notch cut underneath. This is probably the exact reason this dude made the video cause of people who comment dumb shit like this. 👍
@John Noname I've had an employer who claimed to do this type of work for 30 plus years, had all the PPE and Safety Equipment money can buy. He dropped a tree on me because he pushed it and it flew further than anticipated. The point is it doesn't matter HOW long you've been doing something if you don't do it right you're gonna get someone hurt. So tell me again how much of that PPE and ISA training helped your 4 crews common since? Cause I do large jobs by my damnself (sometimes minimal help) and have never hurt anyone. Yet guys that claim they've been doin this longer have crews because they want someone to blame when they fuck up 😴 lazy if you ask me.
@John Noname I had a good teach aswell, sadly he moved away but he was humble and taught me alot. It's always a blessing for great teachers and common sense can only take you so far. I hope you keep pushing the envelope and continue being safe. I definitely will. So I appreciate your apology and offer my own 🙏 we can always learn from one another. I've learned things from white belts in my BJJ classes that I adapt and utilize in my competition. So I'm always looking to be open minded. I commend this man in the video and your 38 years of hardwork cause only arborist know exactly tolling it actually is. Have a good one man🤙
Tree could twist due to internal issues..cut the entire tree 🌳 down. .then saw it into smaller pieces.
In that situation a face/sink cut of up to 80% the diameter is perfectly fine and is usually the best option. He's not falling, he's dismantling. Totally different ballgame.
Nicely done 👌
That’s called knowing ur job well👍
The critics amaze me. As someone who’s not a professional arborist but has had first hand experience cutting down large trees… this guy knows exactly what he is doing. Any little bit picks on the comments.. when you are an extremely experienced professional in any field.. you alter slight things to your style. There were no major safety violations or reckless actions. Oh and if people think guys don’t one hand a chainsaw on those trees all the time.. then you haven’t seen it done before. It’s common.
He’s doing it one handed at the end. Dude knows what he’s doing for sure.
After 20 years ya best

What a crazy job. I'm so glad there's someone out there willing to do it.
But what does his job do for the community? I’m not saying as hateful t activists or whatever it is. just curious . weak trees ? logging ? building construction
@@ABunchOfMeskinzTv There are many reasons to take out a tree. It could be in danger of falling, or it could be causing problems by dropping seeds and leaves. It could even simply be in the way, whether for something yet to be built, or it's growing too close to something already established. If a tree is too close to either a building or sidewalk the roots will very often damage them. If it's on personal property it could even simply be unsightly so the owner wants it removed.
@@anonymousaccordionist3326 so many reasons . It’s wild . thanks

Once worked at a bike shop. I wasn't working there as a mechanic but ive built my own bikes and im plenty knowledgeable on everything to know how to do all the fun complicated stuff. Guy brings in a lower end bike for maintenance and i think he had an issue. Hybrid bike. Service tech(who happens to be the Service team Manager(SM), is helping him.
Guy: "I'm trying to get this fixed."
SM: "OK, great let's pop it in the stand and take a look."
Guy: "OK, awesome"
SM: "What have been your issues?"
Guy: "well it has some weird rubbing in the brakes."
Guy goes on to give out his own theories, some of which were possible others not so much. The SM at this point had figured out he had contamination on his brakes, what from he wasn't yet certain. He goes to tell the guy this and that he might need new pads and a new brake rotor and the Guy wasn't having any of it. Tells the SM he's wrong and told him a likely completely made up way to fix the issue. I say likely made up cause I couldn't figure out any correlation between what he said and the issue at hand. And apparently, neither could our SM. After some more conversation, guy just tells our SM to do what he's told. Eventually our SM told him that he could sand down the pads and rotor and use rubbing alcohol to clean them. And guy said, "Oh so like hand sanitizer?" After a moment of shock, SM told him "no, if you use hand sanitizer you will likely need completely new brakes. Which would be far more expensive." Guy eventually walked out of the store after telling SM he sucks at doing his job. I personally hope he ended up using hand sanitizer.
Learned this stuff when I was stuck using hand tools cuz under 18. It was a great way to stay in shape, and keep your wits about you. Gotta have your attention on like 50 things at once at a given moments notice. Only think that kept me from continuing once 18 was military. Love the work being done. Deep notches like this are for close fall cuts. Usually there are things you don't want getting hit by a piece of wood falling like a wrecking ball.

24 years an arborist, I might have taken a smaller wedge, and I would definitely have used my top handle. The large wedge takes away a lot of control when you make your hinge, because the hinge is shorter, and you have less back cut to use as leverage if you need to use a felling wedge to tip it.
Well im an arborist myself and yes, its way to deep , he has no control over the tops, no hinge wood, , cuts with 1 hand... Uses 2 soft lines, and no way to get down quick... Dude seems like a cowboy to me, and i bet other is the game feel the same way.
Me, knowing nothing at all about this job:
“Hmm, that notch seems okay to me…”
U and me been grounded in treefubdangerd🆗🤔⏬
The fact that people can retire from doing stuff like this without dying is a miracle on it’s on! Takes good people that never overlook the idea of “safety first”
It's the guy that's fighting for his life knowing he is going to die when he gets caught in the wood chipper..

Nothing in this situation could kill you, that drop isn’t that high and the tree is catchable 💀
@@Ludicrouzz okay superman
@@Ludicrouzz This is braindead logic. People die tripping and falling from a standing position. This guy is easily 40ft up and operating power tools.
Larger, wider notch in order to minimize shock load on the tree by reducing the amount of holding wood. As the stem swings down, you finish the cut with minimal snapping of the holding wood. Good job.
As a guy who does this everyday, you want a deep notch when flipping logs… cutting a deep notch, past the center of gravity, ensure the log will tip without having to push on it.
Been a tree climber for about 2 years now and trust me it’s definitely scary, especially when your ascending the tree your about to work in. However, after your first few cuts in which ever tree you’re in, you become much more confident and focused on what you’re doing (assuming everything is going smoothly).
It’s a great feeling when you come down and see all the work you just did. I always take a few looks back at my work and think to myself, damn, I just did that :)
Hats off to you, man, you do some incredible work and must have an amazing ability to keep calm and focus!! Wishing you safety each day 🙏
How did you get into that profession? I know how to rock climb, and I've had a sawyer cert in the past... Is that all you need?
How do you deal with the weight of your massive balls?
Watching this the scariest part for me is the chainsaw accidentally slipping a bit and cutting the rope....
Good attitude!
I try to do that with everything I do. At least when it turns out, lol
Was a damn good deep notch. Well done and perfect fall
Thank you! I thought it was too deep as well ... However they don't consider this ... He knows how he wants it to fall ... He considers the lean ..the wind ..a knoch we can't see .. are there termites ? Is it weak on one side did it rain the day before and upper rot made it heavy on one side .... and perhaps even a hint from the angel on his shoulder.. 😂 $ tree whispers they are$ ...my husband and his nephew have worked in the tree biz their whole lives and there is only one guy they let go up there .. he is Ukrainian.. this is the guy that breaks when he wants to goes up and down as he sees fit and you don't ask or tell him a damn thing except .. do you want something to drink hahah😂.. he keeps everyone alive .. period .. salute..

I do this for a job and european tree regulations say your notch should be 1/3rd total tree witdh
@@nailedittv2121 that's a good rule of thumb but it really depends on the tree. I don't climb, I just fell them from the bottom, and if I'm going to be fighting gravity or the wind I'll make a deeper notch, and if it's already prime to falling where I want it to then I'll sometimes go a little less deep, and I'll offset the notch if it wants to fall at an angle to where I want it.
no its not who taught u and this guy to cut its called a scarf cut my boy
There’s just absolutely no way. Salute to those who have this kind of bravery.
By cutting a tree? LMFAO hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@nonono355 yeah, like terrifyingly high off of the ground? You act you're like so fearless whole talking shit in youtube shorts comments
@@nonono355 post a vid of you doing it
@@nonono355 anime pfp so you're invalid
If you are good with a saw on the ground its not much different. You need to be very comfortable w saw in your hand and be a good climber and know how to make good cuts
Casually a professional lol
I mean, it's a deep notch, but the fibers on that tree seem to hold it up really well. Personally, i wouldn't risk it from lack of experience, but you seem to know what you're doing. Job well done!
That Notch is beautiful.... I've always used a deep Notch for controlling the fall... it's not a harvest thing, so depth of a Notch can be as large as the faller chooses...
Highly recommend staying well under 1/2 diameter of any tree of substantial size. 1/3 minimum. Need room for possible wedges and holding wood
this is common sense. I've only cut down one tree but even i know that you use notches to control falling paths
@@baconbro304 common sense is a product of experience. Chainsaws are unforgiving. Combine that with falling trees and many men have died at the stump. 28-32 thousand documented accidents per year on USA alone. Proceed with caution
The point of cutting a small notch is to have more control. You have less control with a notch this big.
@@blakestone1432 control is a product of a procedure. It start with your size up of the tree and surrounding, leans and desired lay. Then proceeds to gunning cut- slopping cut called face or notch. This is usually 1/3 diameter of tree minimum. The lower the center of gravity the deeper,larger, the face needs to be. Short staubs or sections as in video. The next step in the procedure is the back cut. The critical element of control here is your holding wood. It needs to be a strip all the way across tree behind the face. If a corner is cut off or saw cuts all the way into face all control is lost and gravity is going to take tree wherever primary lean is. Every tree has two leans, primary and secondary. If a corner is cut off one side of holding wood tre will swing around towards connected corner, as much as 90° to desired lay. Holding wood is critical to control as well as the entire procedure. Trying to make a tree Fall opposite it's lean with a notch is going to result in long dangerous day for anyone but a pro with all the right tools
it’s amazing how you’re brave enough to have that job, I would be so scared of the tree falling the wrong way and right on top of me
Honestly I'd just be worried about my rope breaking and falling 30-40ft with a chainsaw

@Hot Twink had a guy cutting down a tree at my grandmas he had been doing it 5 years to this point idk exactly what happened but he got crushed by the tree and I watched I’m 19 so I was probably 12 at the time me and my uncles and pap rushed over to try and pull the tree off the guy or lift it up and over or something but even with 5 guys the tree was way to heavy to pull off I think I was to young to remember how he fell from the tree idk if he did anything wrong or was just a freak accident
@Hot Twink wasn’t even the same guy you asked
Looks like your family have been arborists for years
@@HotTwink-vu7cjI cut trees for five years from 18 to 23. I’ve had a few close calls lol. My favorite being almost speared by a 4in round by 15ft tall log from like 60ft plus. It landed in the ground straight up and down buried like 5 feet deep. Hearing it hit behind me was chilling.
@@HotTwink-vu7cj thank you, but sadly no I was making 15$ an hour. Wasn’t worth it in the slightest.
Bruh, I swear redditors are experts at everything
The most Satisfying response I’ve seen in a long time. 😂
You could not pay me enough. This guy deserves a raise.
You don’t even know how much he gets paid already lmao
@@johnjohnson201 not enough probably
He Got a raise, you see how high he is.
the most underpaid trade in most country’s
They dnt pay enough and when you got illegal labor doing for cheaper faster with less safety measures it drives down what these men do
The deep notch also makes it so the log stays on the hinge longer and can make a full flip before it hits the ground. Nice work👌
I tried to explain that to the expert trolls here that never had someone bitch them out for punching holes in their grass. 😂
great vid. & wish every commenter had&would spread knowledge. more confidence now for the next tree thank you
Ha. Mess the lawn up all you want. Just don't drop it on my fence, car, or roof
@@Saanonymous80 Yep 👍. Shouldn't have to tell the pendejo customer to move his car though 😂
A Hispanic arborist I hired ( recommended) to cut down my 80ft eucalyptus which was 8 ft from my shed,
amazed me how skilled he is..
Nothing got near the shed ..
for $600..
I recommend him to anyone looking To having a tree removed..
Man it takes some balls to do that job. I worked with a guy in construction that did this as a side job and he would put those spikey boots on and run up a giant tree in seconds. Shits wild man lol. And also you gotta be PERFECT with which way the limbs fall and everything- PERFECT, you got power lines in the way a lot of times and houses and cars and all that- it ain’t easy considering the layout of every tree is different- different weight distribution and everything.
One of the hardest jobs i ever did! I always give mad respect to my fellow arborists! People truly don't realize how difficult that is. You're 100ft in a tree running a LETHAL piece of equipment trying to fell logs into very precise spots!

I don't get it someone explain?
@@andreashabeck1155 I took it as, it's such a sketchy job (weather it be the heights or being able to chop the tree so precise that you dont hit the fence or anything else for that matter) that he'd need to get paid an astounding number... and be tied to a zip line instead of being tied to the thing hes cutting.. before he'd consider doing the job..
Pesos?
It's simple physics, people. The further the notch goes past the center of the stem, the further the center of gravity is towards the front of the notch. This only works on straight up and down trees though. It's why you generally only see this notch technique used when climbers are chunking out big stems from the top down.
You know he's safe because he's the cameraman...
I do this as well, and as an arborist I will say that while iv had many close calls in the path to learning, trusting in your skills is key. It's the 3rd most dangerous job in the US, but once you understand it, it's far more fun than it is scary. Like a game. I love this work! Well done my brother! Stay safe
Agreed!!
Underwater welding and what else are more dangerous? Those people that change light bulbs at the top of skyscrapers?
@@eggsquizitine deep ocean saturation divers, radio tower maintenance, cave diver body retrieval, underground water line maintenance where you need to dive hundreds of feet through a constricted space with no way to turn around .etc
Also all the jobs in heavy industry where people work by exposed heavy machinery, molten metal .etc

They're all things which are perfectly safe in-theory, but a single mistake by yourself or others can easily mean your life.
@@InnuendoXP I imagine that being an astronaut is still up there among most dangerous jobs.
@@geofflepper3207 oh for sure anything involving you strapping yourself to a rocket & achieving escape velocity definitely qualifies
It is alot harder than it looks, trust me...some people have skills, others don't, I took out the power of a whole block of homes once. It was an evergreen tree, started ok but I think the 3rd cut went haywire, almost killed myself, after that I gave up on being a climber. Ended up getting in the Ironworkers union, better pay and much safer for me anyway...
Smart man! Kinda wish I had been that smart....
That's a tough a$$ job. You sure make it look easy! Stay safe up there.
It's like sky diving with a chain saw instead of a parachute.
His notch wasn’t too deep. Dude was making sure the tree fell that way
Exactly
The notch was deeper than it needed to be it's just an unnecessary risk.
@@jopainting1668 you're the professional here now mister, c'mon then chap do what he did in the video
@sly dankass that was an awesome controlled cut
Ive got a license for chainsaw and sweepersaw , and this guy cut too deep. It works but the chainsaw can get stuck and there can be complications if you cut too deep sometimes. You should also not cut too little cause then it will go the wrong way so..
It's called an under mining cut. We use it for chunking wood and dropping select stems. It shifts the center of gravity and helps the piece flop easier. Not recommended if you need a hinge for control.
I’m an iron worker with no problems at height but I wished I learned this trade instead. the thrill and satisfaction these guy must experience has to be something else. The skill is next level!
Bro punching a tree bro thinks he is in Minecraft
Who ever commented that the notch is too deep has never been up a tree or never chunked one down and landed the logs flat. I love peoples uneducated criticism.
You got that fuckin right, that notch was spot on. Undermine your logs too so you don’t have to worry about them sitting back on you.
I would have thought it’s too deep too, why is a notch thats 2/3 of the diameter good? I know there’s still plenty of holding wood, it just seems really deep. I’m genuinely wondering, if someone could briefly explain
Or is it just easier to fell it in the desired direction with a deeper notch
@@George-jn8qr I think for smaller trees like this where you won't use a wedge it is better to have a greater notch to be more certain about where it will fall especially with wind
@@George-jn8qr that’s pretty much it man, believe it or not especially when your strapped in on a spar, undermining the center of the logs gravity helps to get it over. If you put a tiny hinge up at the front, you have to get all the weight behind your hinge to go over center.
