Cutting a large old growth white fir that is too big for my bar. The 32 inch bar on my chainsaw is not long enough to go through this tree. I show an easy way to double cut a large tree with a short bar. There are several techniques for doing this, I think this one is the most simple. The chainsaw is a Stihl MS462 with square filed full skip chain.

Thanks from us mortals that are NOT Buckin Billy standard
Great camera work
BBR sure talks a good game, he must have done all his cutting befor YT.
Even he says you usually have to clean up your face cut.
@@iffykidmn8170 What, have a look at him 100 foot up some trees.
@@iffykidmn8170 I watch BBR, but I admit I skip through a lot of the hippy, canuckian Mr Rogers stuff. He does have good information and say what you like about the man but he knows how to cut.
@@iffykidmn8170how dare you!!
You are far better at explaining than Buckin Billy Ray. Love the videos and how you care for your property.
Haha man I love some Buckin' on occasion, but his "explanations" are often confusing as shit and super tangential. Much prefer Mr. Wilson's way.
Buckin is a clown
Done! Thoroughly enjoyed the video! Kinda giving me Bob Ross of treework vibes.
I love the sense of humor. Should do stand-up as a sideline !!
And thats how you drop a saw off a stump! So glad you didn’t edit that out. Much better content than bbr
Great video, better job explaining this than a thousand others that never show anything that isn't perfect.
Your 32" bar/saw was working overtime on this one!
You hit on a great point that most people don’t want to admit.” This is one way to do it!” There are so many ways to fall trees. I agreed with most of what you said. And yes even for another west coaster that stump was a little high. But I understand the reasoning. My old man would make me cut it off if I left one that high.
Just encountered this identical problem with a 34" oak here in North Carolina that I fell with a 25" bar. My approach was almost identical to yours. My tree ended up falling exactly where I wanted it with minimal collateral damage. I am not nearly as experienced as you, so nice to see some confirmation of my technique!
The peace and quiet there must be very nice!
Great job.
Thanks for taking the time to create all your very entertaining and informative videos. 👍
Subscribed because you referenced Buckin' Billy Ray twice. That man has saved me. Anyone who's an admirer of his is worthy of subscription. Preach on, Brother!
I've had a "BBR" archive for a long time now. I've saved a heap of your videos in my file "Vital lessons" but tonight I opened a "Wilson Forest Lands" file.
And if they can't take a high stump or two, f*** 'em.
DOUG out
Wilson, you know when we were kids we'd say that's cool. We were young hadn't lived much so everything was cool. Well sir that is cool, wish I was there to say it!
Noone is Mr Bucking Billy Ray But himself!
Piss fir as it's been referred for
many years around here.
Great video... buckin has nothing over you. Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks
I’ve cut down some big ones by east coast standard, but I hope I get to fell something that big someday. Thanks for filming this and putting it on the internet for all the armchair experts to criticize.
Biggest I have cut in NZ was 110in across redwood. Lots of trees grow huge butts down here. Macrocarper branches are often 50in. If you want to cut big ugly wood come on holiday to NZ
Always fun to hear them pop and drop!!!
If a tree falls in the woods and the faller has his earplugs in did it make any noise? Why yes, yes it did son. Here is another lesson, if you are in the woods and find waist high stumps, where are you? Damn sure west of the Mississippi son😂
@saltymofo5870 If you’re in the woods and find guys “logging” 30 foot tall oaks with 20 inch bars on 90cc saws you’re definitely east of the Mississippi son 😂
I have found waste high stumps east of the muddy with 30" trees growing out of them, guess it is easier cutting standing up with a handsaw.
@@joemyers4037 guys on the east know there is a difference between Oak and butter wood.🙃😁
Cutting down bigger trees is scary. I’ve never cut down one this big. We have to respect the pioneers who cut down huge trees and removed the stumps with hand tools.
Lmfao at the Squeeling aka Squeeking at The End of the tree falling likes its screaming ouch ouch that hurts lol 😂 9:50
🤣 sounding like a damn Orca in distress
@@LateBloomerMedia right 😂😂
Thanks for sharing your experience and your great videos.
Liked the reference to BBR. Great informative video!
Nicely done. I once cut a 36 inch eastern white pine with a 24 inch bar (Husky though) and its a fun job.
Amazing - Really Interesting - with a hint of humour. Thank You.
That was fun to watch. Thanks for the pleasure of hearing that big thump. Loved it.
I had a v large eucalyptus in my back garden which I had to cut and tried myself but only wanted to spend a little on a saw as id hardly use it again, got a 20" to cut a 36" tree....I looked up how to do it Nd here I am 3 years later watching tree felling, I've never touched a chainsaw since but ita o interesting and I enjoy your dry humour.
That was an awesome job of estimating the height of the tree.
Great video, I laughed at the Billy ray bit, hilarious man
Ow that was one mother of a tree man, I hide behind the settee man
We used a 28 inch bar most of the time at our PA logging company. We fell big trees all the time with them. Get more power with a shorter bar and the bars and chains are a lot cheaper. That makes a huge difference because we buy that stuff by the case.
Nice work. Your honesty and openness is refreshing 👍🏻
Holy crap Wilson. That must’ve been an 8.5 on the Richter scale. I felt that here in Central Pennsylvania. 😁🪵
Love your videos and how you talk about stuff. So what I say is said with all respect. I work teaching and certifying advanced fallers, so this comes from a background of teaching folks with experience in less-than-bar-length trees, but just learning how to cut big trees. The easiest way I've found to teach folks to double cut is to get your gunning (flat) cut in on your onside, then cut the sloping cut on your onside. You'll be able to see by pulling your bar out a little whether you're close to meeting your gunning cut or not. Then, go to the front of the tree and bore in vertically a couple inches from the ends of your cuts and cut between your gunning cut and your sloping cut. This will let you knock out the first half of your face and see how you did in lining up your slope cut. Get it all cleaned up, and then you can go over to the offside. You already have kerfs established that are lined up perfectly to work off of, and you can see into the center, so you can really easily line up the offside. Everything comes to that first half of your gunning cut. Gun it where you want, and then make everything line up to it. Once you're dialed at lining up your sloping cut on a big tree, you can skip the step of knocking out half the face. I'll have to make a video of it one of these days, most guys think it's cheating when I show em, Learned it from an old faller, now I preach it like the gospel to up and coming advanced fallers.
That’s the biggest tree I’ve seen you cut down! Great video and great job!!
Wow the noise, I felt that from this side of the world, I hide behind the chair😊
Done, thanks Wilson👍
Finally someone on TH-cam that knows how to cut down a tree!!
You sound a lot like Chuck Norris. I like your videos
@@tuckerburk8499 I’m conflicted, is he Chuck Norris or Chevy Chase? Or both, either way I like the guy.
This has got to be one of the best instructional tree cutting videos. So great to see this level of detail and patience - thanks for posting and sharing. All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸
I love Buckin' but your videos are just different, which is good. They are really great.
Nicely done. There are some good techniques to make this a bit easier/more reliable. Easier to explain in person and with diagrams than in the comments section
Buckin Billy Ray!
Good stuff
Hey! Good Job! Good Jokes! Good video! I have milled up quite a bit of white fir on my woodmizer LT40, and really, it can make a lot better lumber than most people think...from Northern Ca, Sierra Nevadas.
Almost like a professional. 😉
Great aim! 👍Ahh, the satisfaction of having done the job, and having it go as planned! The sweet sawdust smell of success!! I love it when the job done!
Shout-out to Bucking Billy Ray ! awesome!
I’m learning so much from watching your videos, thanks from Wales 👌
Another beauty down for processing. Good job orange hat man.
Nice job Mr. Wilson . More firewood for the woodyard !
‘That’s worth something’ had me rolling 😂
Thanks for all the pointers to think about. Fantastic.
nice cut. thank goodness you remembered to turn the cameras on!
Has anyone ever told you,, your a funny guy. 😅
Plenty of board feet in that stem , nice job .
Like your video. Great work and you are not only a master of your craft but a master of words! Can’t decide if that Buckin’ reference was a sly dig or a compliment 😂 anyway you’ll prob keep us guessing is my reckoning. Thanks for the chuckles!
Calm and deliberate, well done...
Good video! Thanks!
Thanks bucking wille wilson
Just got back from the timber shop, one 90mm x 45mm (4x2) treated H2 2.7meters $26.50 wow.
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe my friend.
Very clear, concise, conscientious and meticulously executed videos felling big wood with good dry wood humour!
Lovely video. Thank you.
There goes the boom😂😂😂😂
Nicely dropped …
That was awesome 👍
Thanks 👍. I'm considering buying a woodland so I am learning a lot from your videos.
That was cool and the learning video thank you for sharing your experience
Woo - Hoo! Good job. And, that was pretty exciting, too. And, that looks like it's gonna be some really nice wood.
Well said, keep it up.
Good practical tips. Thanks for posting this. CHEERS!
My first year doing tree work, only done one cottonwood maybe a bit bigger than this one. It was awesome. Cheers
Enjoyed the Video . Got to see what my 462 can do.
I really enjoy your videos! Keep it up.
Nice Job.
Nice felling!! Thanks for the video!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
It’s down safely. Good job 👍🏻.
The remaining stump is an indicator of a good faller.(your finger print).
Direction, level, holding hinge wood, cut alignment (no Dutchman), wedges used, clean undercut, finish backcut,…most of those things can be noticed after the tree is down. Btw , that looked like a 36” bar, maybe it was the video angle?🤷♂️
A few recommendations however; your hard hat (it’s old school). Hearing protection (maybe you had ear plugs). You had eye protection but no face screen. A partner or spotter within 2 tree lengths. Keep wedges (3) and axe within reach. Cut off the slivers after the tree falls. You forgot to pat yourself on the back. 😉
Other than that …best falling vid I’ve seen on TH-cam so far.
It sure went whoomp! Thanks (again) for the awesome instruction!
Really enjoying your productions, thanks!
WOOOOOOSHHHH
Thanx Buckin' Wilson, perfectly placed!!! 💪🏼
I was in my mid 50’s when I started watching this video, I’m now 96 and writing this comment from my nursing home 🧐
That was a good drop.
Well done.
Nice Job...your hinge was a little too thin, but with the lean and the wedges, you made out ok....helped that there was no wind.......cut for years...never got over the WHOMPPP ! of a big 'un going over.......fallin' was the only job I ever loved.........OnWard........
thanks for sharing. amazing he does all that with the same saw.
Some pro guys... Fell a 120 cm diameter, whith a 36 cm bar... Long story, admire your work, keep on doing that
Mvh Sven
so a 48 cm hinge remaining... or do they beaver cut it?
Nice stump. Good job Wilson.
You evoked uncle Buckin' while doing your face cut, the rest of the felling was blessed by his presence. We can all do well when BBR is watching over us.
Bbr watching over us? He didn't die did he?
@@chaddowns901 he's alive and well, his spirit is just everywhere.
@@Darfur64 i see.
@@chaddowns901I hope he sees this haha!
Nicely done. "Short stubby bar" and 32"...that dry humor has me thinking you're English. ;-)
What a trophy! My biggest tree to date is a 122' eastern white pine, 36-38" in diameter. That was an awesome tree to watch fall. I would really liked to have been there to witness that fall. BTW that tree looked like it fell up hill. Did it or camera angle. Our trees never fall uphill
Good work. You can also cut it into two sections by cutting the center of the face notch-do one side first, then finish with the other. There are many ways to skin a cat; the important thing is to take your time, do it right, and, most importantly, ensure the tree falls in the planned direction of the lay. You also don't need to trace your back cut if your face notch is level-just make sure to start your cut with the chainsaw bar tip level What communication device are you using?
Short 32 inch bar. Yeah right!
Nice tree felling video effects
Великолепная работа и юмор!Привет из России!
It's funny that I like to start with the tip on the far side and bring the saw back to me. I also do the bottom cut first.
nice job
I'd love to see what you do with a big tree like that once it's cut down.
Ghost logger tried to grab your chainsaw, but he couldn't get a good grip. 😊
Woompin Wilson Ray....lol
Good job you made is look easy and if you have done it you know it isn't
Exciting!
