That could have gotten really bad really fast and in a hurry. The only thing that probably kept that tree from splitting was the fact that it was dead and had the hollow center. As a 30 year cutter I would advise learning the hinge cut technique. You can cut them like that but you need a much better cutting saw and much more experience. If you cut hardwood with a cut like that make your notch deeper and get as much of the heart bored out as you can before making you back cut. You are on the right track and I'm not bashing. As someone who once spent 33 days in traction at the hospital I just want you to be safe friend.
Sorry guys, I have had some issues uploading this video as you might have saw I have uploaded it and deleted it a few times. For some reason I had some glitches when uploading and had huge chunks of the video Turn black. Sorry for the issues!
I'm assuming your new at this. A couple of tips that will make tree felling less dramatic. Learn how to sharpen your chain. Use wedges once you're in far enough on the back cut. Keep the back cut parallel to the face cut unless you need holding wood to keep the tree from going to a danger zone, house, building, property line etc... keep 10% of the tree diameter for holding wood depending on species as a general rule, and when you are there, bang it over with wedges. You were down to very dangerous hinge wood and you were very lucky it went the way you had planned, especially being dead, dry, and hollow. Other than that, you did well, and you have the general idea of how it's done. It's good to see the proper PPE and you are thinking SAFE, so do a little more research and you are well on your way to being a good safe tree man. Husqvarna has a very good vid on TH-cam you should check out. There are many, "Guilty Of Treeson", has a vid, on eight ways to fell a tree that is very good too. Lots of info on hear hard to find some of the ones that actually know what they ae doing. I hope this didn't come across as harsh or negative, I meant it to be constructive.
Nice. I can tell you feel comfortable with the saw. Some tips from a guy that has cut a few trees. From what I can tell you had a Dutchmen that’s why the tree moved then stopped. It was sitting on its Dutchmen. (Super dangerous) Make sure you have no Dutchmen’s and have a clean solid hinge. Have a falling kit. Axe, wedges etc. every tree is the same process and bring all the tools. also cut at a comfortable height so you can look up while your cutting especially on hazard trees. Unless your cutting for board feet. a full wrap handle bar will help a lot. Keep it up good work.
Thank you for the tips! We had wedges and an axe just in case we needed them. A wrap around handle would be very nice for that saw. Thanks for watching!
Those 400’s cut so smooth don’t they. What a great running saw. I’ve had mine lil over a year and a half. It’s never once needed any major repairs. Just routine stuff.
Evan, great job on felling. You will have to teach me how to do a controlled fall like that. Amazing how that hinge just let it slowly creep. Very cool to watch. You look like a warrior in all that orange safety gear. Good job my friend!! WST
Thank you! Once you get the angles of the cuts down it is like clockwork every time! My dad always says I am getting ready to go hunting when I put my gear on 😂. Thanks for watching Mike!
Yeah Mike no need for wedges on this one! It had just the right lean to keep it from coming back! I kind of wish you he wouldn’t have put it in slow motion because it made the growling popping whining sound as it fell! The incline was so bad on that hill that I had ahold of his shirt just in case I needed to pull him back out of the way. He did an excellent job!
Nice job on taking down a tree that size and its impressive to see a you man out using a power saw like that and ive see grown folks that cant do that keep up the good work 🤙
I’m glad to see young men learning to cut timber , but let me give u a tip if u don’t mind u mite get buy with cutting a hard wood trees like u did but sooner or later u will have one barber chair on u and u mite get hurt bad or even worse, bore in to the tree and leave a strap holding in the back then cut the strap out, be careful cutting timber
Nice job and it is clear that someone has been helping you understand the right way. I quite liked watching your video and it didn't make me nervous for you!!! Anyway, watch that dutchman. That was potentially a big error. see what the other commenter said. Also, you really don't look up or watch the crown. That may be a bad habit. When a tree is that dead for that long and the small limbs are all gone, there is a serious risk of a widowmaker, moreso than usual. If you had gotten to banging on it, those limbs will come right out of there. There only other thing I could see was maybe since your saw was short, get that low side in shape first and don't go down there at the end of your back cut. Stay on the high side.
That old gnarly limbed tree could be hard to read good job, little by little start practicing using Humboldt undercut. Hotsaws 101 is a very good source on timber falling, Jack Beeler is one of the best, a wealth of experience. Keep up the great work, I enjoy your videos!
I haven’t used a bore cut yet and don’t have that technique down, the tree was completely solid and leaning hard downhill so we didn’t have to use wedges. Although it is always good to use them just in case, because we did have some with us in case we needed them.0

Looks like you updated. To answer your question, no, it was black screen for a while. I just fast forwarded through it.

Holy crap Whackin...helluva job dropping that monster! Wow!! Nice work wood hounding that walnut outta the stream as well. 👍 😀 🍻
Thank you Dan! I’m glad we got that walnut out of there, we have been looking at it for a while 😂 thanks for watching!
Nicely done Evan you’re getting better everyday enjoy your videos . Keep safe my friend.
Thank you! My felling has definetly gotten better since I started cutting wood, thanks for watching!

Nice job felling that tree Evan! That steep incline made it a little bit of challenge but you did great! Lots of bucking ahead! 👍🏻👍🏻
Loved the video. Good work.

Kayu apa bos
Hey boi is that daddy's chain saw
Yeah that’s his 400c, I’ve got a 250 that I bought myself for limping and smaller trees.
You said you are limping?
Sorry I meant *limbing
You limping boi?🤣🤣
Should have bore cut it and use felling wedges ive done this line of work for 20 years luck it didn't split and barber chair

Dull chain
Chain wasn’t dull, I was in a weird position so the saw was in a bad angle
Dan is that you??
Only get better.
Fair sized first.
Ay yo chuck you monitised yet
In the process of it right now!
Look up and live kid
Nice Drop, dangerous dead tree. Kubota 💪🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
