6:20 Sondre: when driving wedges don't have your leg up against the tree as someone else is making the backcut. If the tree isn't round the bar might poke back through or they might move the power head too a different position to reach the far side and hit your leg.
I think he does this because how he does back cuts is quite different and there is no risk of the bar poking out. In the norway video with Sondre it seems like the way they do backcuts in Norway is they do a plunge cut a few inches from the "far" side face cut corner and plunge halfway through the tree, bring the bar around halfway(so a "quarter" slice of the pie is cut with the nose of the bar in the dead center of the tree), put a wedge in, then continue around to the other corner of the facecut. Through this process the nose of the bar is pretty much always in the tree. He explained they do this to insure that they can get a wedge in while theres still a ton of holding wood and with the bar orientated in a way where you can get the wedge deep in quickly without the bar in the way. I assume this is because while their trees are fairly tall they are also quite skinny, so not alot of space to drive a wedge in with a conventional back cut even if theres enough weight to get pinched.
Hey Jake how are you buddy good to see you my buddy he met you a while back he's a good friend of mine I forget where he met you at but we're from the Pittsburgh area he passed away this week he's also a tree guy like I am we've been cutting timber for many many years and it's just broke my heart man I'm at a loss for words I know you went through the same thing it's tough buddy God bless you Jake stay safe my friend
The 394xp and 395xp saws are legendary. I've got a couple of them and they just run and run without fail. Super reliable, they run like a banshee, and love to go wide open. I run 32" bars on mine in NorCal. Fantastic saws. It's awesome to see your Norwegian buddy in the States too. Very cool.
It's Sondre. Sandra is a female name. Sondre is from the Old Norse name Sundri, which is possibly derived from the Norse word for South. In contrast, Sandra is from the Italian/Greek Alessandra/Alexandra.
Great job as always guys!!! Liked seeing Gordy show Sandra how to use that axe jk lol That many wedges, you know she was a big girl!!! Stay safe crew!!! Just wish Jed was still with us!!!
What a treat! I woke up to this brand new GoT video this morning. I have my coffee and I'm settling in to watch. It's great to see Sondre from your Norwegian Wood series again, and Gordy is always fun. He met his face cut on that Humboldt like a homing pigeon. What a great cutter he is! It's gonna be a GOOD DAY!
This video was missing one thing but I can’t quite put my finger on it ….huh good job nicely done but I can’t help but feel something is wrong here like there’s a puzzle piece gone guess it’s just a feeling I have that’s all hats off to you guys great job
Everytime you cut a big tree next to a house like that, I think of your "Idiots with chainsaws!!! My first tree as a business owner" video. Amazing video to watch if you haven't watched it; life is a learning experience
Gordy once again demonstrating why he is the MF man, and at the top of his game. I would pay to come learn from you for a week, keep up the great work!
They gave him a hard time at customs, but others just flood across. Sorry, but that kinda stood out for me. Welcome to the US sir…really hope you enjoy your visit with Jake! Really enjoy this channel
I have a couple 592XP saws. Great potential, but imho Husqvarna over rushed the R&D and released too soon. Particularly the first one I got, I’ve had nothing but problems. The 2nd one was 15 months later and even sounds completely different.
great job getting them down safely! and on the mark. just amazing taking down such large trees and not having issues EXCEPT FOR THE NAILS! how did they get that deep, and oriented in the vertical. always the last tree! it did not look as he hit them, still rusty with no chain marks! wonderful video!
The 395 came out in 1996. It has few changes other than the cylinder and intake boot (vs block), to its predecessor, the 394, which came out in ‘91. So damn near 35 years of the same platform. It’s really impressive. Kinda like following the 044-046-440-460-461 Stihl saws. That 1128 series had some serious staying power too.
Husky some years ago, bought Jonsered,,, for the engineering team. The saws produces by Jonsered and Husky 20 years ago are absolutely the best. On the second tree the sawyer stayed much too long cutting. Once the tree starts to go walk or run away. Especially because of the rotted core, a barber chair will kill you dead.
Are you kidding? Our borders are wide open and they give this guy from Norway a hard time? I need a.NYdot number on my truck for Homeland security., but our borders are wide open. What a joke., good video guys
Brilliant video Jacob as ever. Super quality on the picture really stands out. Do you guys not like using high lift wedges? Are they commonly used over in the states?
I saw some K+H wedges in this vid. A friend of mine lives about a mile away from me in a house that he bought from the people who started the K+H Grass Valley wedge company in their garage. The landscaping in their yard was all edged with 7 1/2" wedges. I once had about 50 of those wedges from that yard.
Funny how they gave Sondre a hard time at customs but yet we let 1k's run across the boarder then pay them to stay 😂😂. Awesome video cant wait for the jext one!!!
Jacob, you may not read this but thank you for using the word "rippin'" to mean cutting through wood well. I got accosted on my channel for saying that and not meaning in the context noodling. Anyway, love to do a collab (I'm in Snohomish county) and/or having you on my firewood addicts podcast. Keep cuttin'!! (Go pinkway!)
Loved the video guys and have followed you for quite some time. I note that you don't wear protective eyewear that would stop sawdust coming from the saws getting into your eyes. - is there a reason for this or just a personal preference when working? Cheers from Australia :)
I just started tree climbing, and it's almost entirely your fault. I have to say I fully understand why you and Randy like the hawaiian shirts. Also, how are you not completely jacked? It's easily the most physically demanding thing I've ever done. Thanks for all the great videos.
Another cool video. Tree ninety five came out in 2001. The new 5 series saws are junk imho. I’m riding the 390 train as long as I can. Sad when 25 yr old technology is still the best a company has got…
I dont give a RATS ASS how long lyouve been cutting, it always amazes how you match up your underuts! i think this was the first time ive ever seen you miss one!
Great video Jacob 👍 I really like the parts with me in them 😆 I
😂
You couldnt find a bigger tree for that little saw? Holy shit man 😂
😂😂
You should change your channel name to Gordy of TreeSon
Me too 😅😅
Gordy always delivers the best zingers without being a real prick, ya know! He's my kind of guy!! Seems like a fun dude!

Good eyes!!
I k ow I was screaming at the screen waiting for it to happen..can't believe the camera guy didn't catch that!!!!
Not a good habit

Came here to say this as well. What a gong show. Huge NO.
great to see sondre doing well in life. i remember his story from the old video, a good dude who has paved his own way
Good to see sandre for sure
Hey Jake how are you buddy good to see you my buddy he met you a while back he's a good friend of mine I forget where he met you at but we're from the Pittsburgh area he passed away this week he's also a tree guy like I am we've been cutting timber for many many years and it's just broke my heart man I'm at a loss for words I know you went through the same thing it's tough buddy God bless you Jake stay safe my friend
Dang man I am sorry to hear that. God bless you too, thanks for all your kind words buddy
Gord cuts like a surgeon, superb precision
Dang Gordy, experience is a great value. That’s an impressive cut.
The cow cam gave me a good chuckle lolol
Also helps to knock the bark off where your wedges are going. The bark doesn't help lift the tree at all and it limits your travel with the wedge.
Seeing dude rest his leg up against your back cut on the first tree gave me so much anxiety while you were cutting 😂
Gordy can bang a wedge. Flawless technique.

What can I say…really awesome to see Geordie and looking forward to seeing Sandre in the coming vlogs
Love all your posts. Thanks for the entertainment.
another great video brought to us by G & J. Great to see Sandra from Norway - enjoy your visit
It's Sondre. Sandra is a female name. Sondre is from the Old Norse name Sundri, which is possibly derived from the Norse word for South.
In contrast, Sandra is from the Italian/Greek Alessandra/Alexandra.

Your son did a good job with the sharpening! Gordy could do worse than ask him to fix up today's chain.
Great work! Open fields are a rare luxury! Thanks for the vid!
We thank his ancestors for bringing the highly invasive Norway maple here, it keeps my house warm all night :)
Everytime you cut a big tree next to a house like that, I think of your "Idiots with chainsaws!!! My first tree as a business owner" video. Amazing video to watch if you haven't watched it; life is a learning experience
God bless blue collar guys! Great video Jacob.
Excited to see you bringing new people! He's probably stoked to be here
That's really cool that you brought Sondra over here. Really cool.
Gordy once again demonstrating why he is the MF man, and at the top of his game. I would pay to come learn from you for a week, keep up the great work!
This is so awesome! I remember watching that whole Norway video when it first came out!
Gordy makes it look so effortless with that small bar!!!
Wow, those trees are truly magnificent!
Happy to know that Sondre is "studying" with you for a month! :)
Great job Jake...... keep em' coming.
gordy really is at the top of the league! fantastic work fellas 😁
Really good video!! Picture is awesome
They gave him a hard time at customs, but others just flood across. Sorry, but that kinda stood out for me. Welcome to the US sir…really hope you enjoy your visit with Jake! Really enjoy this channel
What?
Yeah it’s so backwards 💯
i guarantee nobody ever 'just floods across' usa customs and immigration.
I really enjoy the US, and i am already looking forward to more trips here! Except popping my panties at customs, that kinda sucked..
He flew to Mexico and walked across the border he could have gotten a free flight to Washington and a😅 debit card
Super smooth transition from the helmet to the phone at 9:06 very cool.
I love this channel, could watch it 24/7
You, Buckin’ on Vancouver Island, and August down in Grants Pass are my Big Tree PNW style guys. Love to all of you Pros.
Gordy...is...the....man.
love these kinds of videos thanks Jacob!!
love to watch and hear the big ones fall❤
I have a couple 592XP saws. Great potential, but imho Husqvarna over rushed the R&D and released too soon. Particularly the first one I got, I’ve had nothing but problems. The 2nd one was 15 months later and even sounds completely different.
Nice work guys...
Great video all the way around!❤❤❤
Nice match up on that humbolt cut
Gordy showing who is Top Dog again…very nice work all of ya
Gotta get me thoseDogs for my 572
6.20 screaming 'get your fricken leg off the tree'. Good of you not to edit it out Jacob, good learning point right there. Regards from Scotland.
Nice felling guys! And amazing video quality, must have been absolutely perfect lightning! 👍🔥
That was so fun!
“My six-year-old sharpened this” 👍🏼
Nice great to c bro from the north'
That was a good one & with Sondre.
Just watching the action. lol
Nice to see a fellow Viking ;) Greetings from Sweden :) Love GoT!
Another Great Video Thx Guilty of Treeson
Glad you enjoyed it

Good info 👌
my 394 is a 1996 > Love seeing the 93cc saws eat. I just restored one on my channel. Happy cutting Jake !
SONDRE!
Love the growl of a big Huski
Your name always gets my hopes up for America when I see your name pop up.❤
Excellent sound quality when the tree falls at the 8:00 min mark... Glad you killed the saw so we could hear it.. Thats like some ASMR stuff
Greetings Sondre 🇨🇦
Nice to watch 😎

592 is the best saw I have ever ran
Love gordy keeps the lid on in the wagon. Gota be ready bro'

Yeah 💯 it’s so dumb
AND he’s going back to Norway in a month. He’s not going to be a new resident leeching off of the government
@@gs1100ed They gave him a hard time because they knew he wouldn't be voting. haha
Now you need a friend from Iceland and you got Twin Peaks!
Gordy is just too dang cool.
Man that big husky is really singing the blues lol.
I have a Stihl 090 with a 59 inch guide bar. We used to use it to cut long packs of imported timber.
395xp has been built since 1994
Dude whaat I thought those nice looking shots were filmed on an expensive DSLR. So surprised they were shot on a phone! They look great.
Awesome to see Sondre getting aquatinted with some PNW trees!
Brilliant video Jacob as ever. Super quality on the picture really stands out.
Do you guys not like using high lift wedges? Are they commonly used over in the states?
Thats Crazy about that Tree beieg Rotton and have a Nail in it 😮

I have a lot of very bad things to say to customs. But this is a family show...
That chain is sharper than 90% of us that are watching could do.
Sondra needs to take down a big one! That would be so awesome.
If he does, it won’t be on TH-cam…

395XP was 2001 to 2005, as in the Chainsaw Collectors Corner, Sweeden.
Great precise felling, nice job but why don't you guys use eye protection ?
Back bar straight to the kneecap. goodness bro.
❤️from 🇳🇴
The safety squints are strong in this video!
Wish I could cut some trees with you guys lol... ODD seeing gord with a husky... LOL....
I feel odd with it lol
@@westcoastsaw1368my distinct pleasure watching you work. Your experience and skill is very impressive.
Wow pretty cold there in May 😃
Hi Jacob , good again but not getting many from you in the UK now
Awesome job! I'm looks ng to buy a good Husqvarna 394XP do you guys know of one for sale? No luck here in GA so far
Be careful when you mess with your Norwegian friend,
he is descended from the VIKINGS!
Cheers,

Allot of ppl use the low lock locktite on most of the screws, cause them 395s rattle them selves apart after awhile
Gordy, how did you get that tree? I think Jacob nailed you on that one.😂
Send him to northern Vancouver island we can show him some big wood
I dont give a RATS ASS how long lyouve been cutting, it always amazes how you match up your underuts! i think this was the first time ive ever seen you miss one!
obviously have not been watching long.
