Rinse and repeat bud, it did go where you needed it to. Don’t be shy to readjust your under cut if it’s off. Try to keep the back cut nice and flat. For your first time & a dead and hollow tree you did alright, lots of unknowns with dead & hollow trees.
Many thanks, Brother. The channel is growing and I strive not to let it all get to my head. Let me know if you have any episode ideas. Pinkway did it's job well, glad I went that route. Thanks again for watching, keep cuttin'!
For someone who doesn't do this, you certainly had the right equipment to get it done. I've taken down many years in my years and had a few fails along the way but it's part of learning
What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Glad everyone is safe!!! You're still probably pumping with adrenalin!!!!! Tree down safe! Great job Travis!! Keep Cuttin!! --- Best, J. Andre. / Old Iron Acres
Heart out of my chest/up in my throat. Tough to show the adrenaline, but glad you understand. But yes, tree is down and all is safe. Many thanks for watching and for the support, Sir, keep cuttin'!
Totally agree, but odd shaped so tough to stack. For sure, ping me when you throw a few on the fire in the fall John ;) Agreed Sir. Many thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Good on you to have the balls, and the ppe, and a get out of the way quick attitude, and you posted it either way. Love your channel, glad u ok, and keep cutting my guy.
I'm trying to show to good, bad, and ugly - showing it all. Many thanks for the support. Let me know if you'd like to see something specific on the channel. Keep cuttin'!
Hey & Servus ✌🏻 In Germany we would say "you have cut the tree dead" means you have lost control over the direction of the tree's fall, so you would have to cut the fall notch again in a different place (over/under)
That adrenaline rush of fight or flight is perfectly natural and why many people do residential tree work, even if they don't realize it. You did fine, a great learning experience that could have gone horribly wrong-it didn't. Don't bother with doing the face cut from the bottom, we aren't West Coast loggers. A smaller face cut from the top is not only easier to do it does the job just fine. On suspect trees like this a face cut less than one third the depth of the tree is a good idea as it gives you way more options for your back cut and you don't know just how rotten these things can get. I have seen trees notched, just barely touch the back and they literally almost fall apart. Also, don't ever say never.
The humboldt just came to mind as I started, even if it wasn't needed but guess that's the west coaster in me - ha. I'll do conventional next time. And good point, I am sure I'll cut more done in the future ;) Many thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
The humboldt cut takes practice to line up and is only really needed for production falling to save out on timber. A conventional notch is alot easier to make for trees like this and as a beginner. but good job
humboldt cut was the only one that came to mind when I start..may be the west coast in me even though I'm in VT at the moment. I''ll try conventional next time. Thanks for the support. Keep cuttin'!
Ive cut trees for many years, a dead tree is a steep learning curve, especially for your first time ever, they all do diffent things, no top weight to get the momentum moving, they have hollow wood, punky wood, dry no hinge wood to hold it, they are sketchy, ive sent dead trees 90⁰ off where i was aiming, it happens, It was a shitshow, but its down, no one no items no houses sheds in the way, if it hits the ground and u can still count to 21, youre ok, Very first tree i cut down was way worse. And i had an experienced guy coaching me. It went the right way, you cleaned up the face somewhat, and it came out ok in the end. I was scared when u hit the wedge you would pop the tree off the stump and it was gonna go back wards. Getting a rope up in them helps, if you can get one up there, and have some one pull with a truck or tractor a ways away
You did it! Without getting hurt, congratulations. Best advice I can give you is to make friends with a local tree guy and go learn. They will appreciate the free help and you will leave with the comfort of knowledge. You will get hooked and wonder why you didn’t do it sooner in life. ☝️
Solid advice, I love it! I may hook up with Vic soon when he's back on my side of the Cascades, may run one of his 500is. I appreciate the viewership and support, keep cuttin'!
It takes practice. Your Humboldt cut was a little off but you will get better if you keep practicing. A conventional cut or an open face cut might have been better for this. But you got it down in the right path and safely. Good job 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I think I would try a conventional notch. I would also run your 372 for falling. You’ll like that big saw way better I think. I could critique the heck out of it and we could talk and learn some lessons, but I’d far rather do that in private so the world doesn’t think I’m being a jerk to a buddy. Don’t quit based on your first attempt! Use this as a learning experience and try again!
Hey Brandon, I thought about sending my 372 to myself but opted to buy another Pinkway and send it to Vermont to use. We'll catch up soon to talk shop. I'll continue to learn by doing. Many thanks for the support. Keep cuttin' sir.
Many thanks, Sir, for watching and for the support. Glad I was able to show my mistakes and what went right. And good call on learning on a stump, should have done that on the earlier stumps. Keep cuttin' buddy! (ps I'm behind in watching episodes, need to catch up on your channel soon).
I got thirty years killing trees for money and even I SNAFU one or three every so often Brother. Need to keep practicin for sure . There is a good video ion You tube Called Physics of falling ,it is ment for us pro fallers but it gives good pointer. Getting falling wedges and use them every time will make you a stronger more confident faller.
I should have brought my falling wedges and not just my bucking wedges. Several things I should have done differently. All learning experience. Thanks for watching and for the support. Keep cuttin' Scott!
Practice makes perfect. Tree is down and no one got hurt so it can be a learning experience. Your face cut should have been smaller. Look to be about 1/3 of the diameter of the tree. Just go slow and look up just as you did. You were right to leave the saw and get out of the way. No saw is worth getting hurt or worse.
Many thanks, Russ, means a lot coming from you. Many thanks for watching and for the support, keep cuttin'! (ps I"m behind in watching episodes, need to catch up on your channel).
that's the way to do it, brother, it's just time consuming. I'd do more but my M, W, F cadence (with Sun. podcast when available) keep me busy as editing can be a time suck.
@@TravisDoesFirewood I don’t edit a whole lot as it’s just what we do working. I’ll pull a few clips and that’s about it. Nothing fancy it’s just what and how we do it.
For sure - practice makes perfect. Glad I could learn while doing and show you all my mistakes and what went right. Many thanks for watching and for the support, keep cuttin'!

Love your videos

Great job Travis. Practice makes perfect. It fell where you needed it to thats all that matter's
Many thanks, Mike. Def. learning by doing situation. Keep cuttin'!
I love the realness of this channel. Everything is so down to earth. Nice work Travis keep putting that Pinkway to work dude!

Those wedge pieces are always my fav to burn. Oh yea I remember you as I toss it into the stove lol.
The next one will be easier Trav. Keep cutting

Agreed Sir. Many thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
That is exactly why I don’t fell trees unless I have to either Travis..I’m no good at it. It’s on the ground and your safe. Keep it up brother 👍
Many thanks, Mike. It was nerve wracking but it's done. Haha. Keep cuttin' brother!!

@@TravisDoesFirewood oh thats right you’re not home
It's not for everyone. It's not easy to do and it takes mistakes like this for you to learn. Best way to learn a Humboldt is on a stump.

Just relax you did good for a first time with no one teaching you I fall trees all the time the more you do it the easier it gets keep cutting
