BC Faller Training Standard - Winter Falling (14 of 17)

This video series is the companion to the BC Faller Training Standard, which was designed to teach new fallers safe work procedures for falling and bucking. The goal is to help workers with forestry experience develop the knowledge, attitude, skills, and abilities that will enable them to function as safe and productive fallers. Note: Some practices demonstrated were modified for filming and may not be consistent with the BC Faller Training Standard.

Thanks for the film materials - from the Poland, it is a great help a lumberjacks / chainsawers :)

[@adamabusalah8990]

I really appreciate that kind of hard working you do.It takes a real man to do what you're doing .It's a real dangerous out there but you're making it looks easy.
Good job..

[@lillyfitzgerald9996]

Real women to.

[@georgepeters2078]

Really nice job you do! Boy that stomping looks exhausting.

[@TheReal1953]

It's the reason why most of us fallers in the PNW would take the winter off. Slow moving, hard access and the pay for scale is the same. Translated...you make a lot less money per day because you're cutting less per day.

31,963 views and I'm the first to comment on how crazy it must be to fall timber in snowshoes? Well I'll be damned. Thumbs up to you crazy sons a' bitches!

[@jeffmartinez8472]

I always took my snowshoes off to dangerous with them on.

[@Crawlerjamie]

Man this is one dangerous job. More dangerous than it appears on the surface. Probably more dangerous than I think. So many things to consider.

[@BigDave1125]

sometimes when im up in an 80ft pine thats swaying in the wind and its 14 degrees about to drop the top but the wind wants to push it backwards into power lines i wonder why the hell i chose this job....then i get paid! you gotta love it or youll likely die

[@troy4219]

Where's the sled to carry your stuff?

[@Anythingforfreedom]

In the other video you said danger trees should not be cut until the surrounding trees have already been cut. Now you're saying to cut the danger tree first. Which is it?

[@mtbrewfalling9442]

In BC your supposed to cut dangerous trees as soon as it’s safe to do so. In this case there’s a safe opening to fall it into, so you would fall the tree. If there isn’t an opening for it, you’d fall it after there’s an opening created.

[@MikeD-lo9yb]

What a beautiful but awful environment to work it. The cold and the exertion of working in the snow must be incredibly tiring, which in itself would become a hazard

[@user-sb3ux7ku6j]

where is it...Canuck country...?? or Yankees country...???

[@tjlovesrachel]

Love how these are Canadian videos... but the commentator sounds pretty American

[@ryanssawmill8224]
