If you get a chance to go back and visit him, it'd be a heck of an opportunity to revist the basics (face cuts, wedging, reading weight/load, etc) from a loggers perspective. Dude has hard earned knowledge and talent.
At 2:48 it starts moving towards the lean, then you see it settle where it closes on the dutchman so all the weight is now sitting and at about 2:58 you see it start to pivot towards the target. Absolutely impressive. Guiding all that weight and momentum like that. What a lesson in physics👍
Beautiful no nonsense execution and explanation of a Dutchman, great to see a real deal logger in action, forthright, humble, and at the same time awareness of danger, without showing, and the confidence and belief in himself, born by true grit and love for the job to perform the task at hand, this man is the epitome of COOL !!!
As a tree worker who mainly does residential work, I'm often amazed at the ingenuity, thoughtfulness, and wisdom of loggers. My mentor, Bart McCann, is currently on his 46th season. Many of those years are in logging. Most of us been told that "Dutchman's are bad" is a rule. The rule from this video is "only wedge a Dutchman when you need to." This explanation makes so much sense and give me a greater understanding of the physics what is happening on the stump. Now I see Dutchman's are a tool to be used for a special situations. Incredible. I will be adding this to my quiver. Thank you.
That's the best explanation of a dutchman I've seen. That, or Antone just explains in a way, that resonates with my brain. That was a trip. I bet (edit: spelling) the camera didn't do the swing justice. Thanks Antone for having Jake along. Thanks Jake for sharing............even though it was only 8 minutes long. I can always count on you for long videos, but I'll let this one pass, because of how useful it was. lol
How does an 8 minute video take 1/2 an hour to watch, I watched it 4 times in a row, amazing footage, you totally "got" the movement, so impressive. Absolutely the clearest explanation I have seen, of the use of a Dutchman, Antone explained it really well, but you asked all the right questions. Dutchman always said to be bad, dangerous, avoid, good to see some balance. Bravo !
You can tell Antone is an experienced Timber Faller because of how comfortable he was making the back cut, like he said Timber fallers use Dutchmen all the time, it's a great technique once you learn how and when to use it!. Good vid guys! Coming from logging country myself I appreciate you showing this kind of content on your channel so people can see what it's all about👌🤘
Nice to see a guy who actually knows EXACTLY what hes doing, he is a cutter for real. There are so many amateurs providing misinformation it's great to see a guy who's a real pro.
gorgeous... great faller.. so much expereince... love how he set up the landing zone to protect the tree and the logs from breaking... when a tree hits and slides that greatly dissipates the energy that can damage the lob or the lawn depending..
Learned this way back in the 1960's. Back then it was a bit of a mystery and learning was trial and error. But today with videos it all makes perfect sense. Good job and great instruction.
My father in-law showed me this years ago, and his father showed it to him. He never said what it was called or gave it name, it was just something that you do to persuade a tree to go where you want it to fall. So very cool to see this explanation by certified expert. Awesome content Jake! Keep it up!
I’ve wandered through groves of giant stumps in Southeast Alaska and wondered why there was a unique pie-shaped hinge every so often. Now I know! Awesome video, Jacob.
This is absolute gold ... I've know about leaving a big post and cutting the side you want to swing ..but this dutchman idea is incredible... Thank you
That dude would have tricks up his sleeve that his Great Great Great Grandfather thought up. Generations of accumulated knowledge being passed on to thousands through here, what a great service.
One of the best Dutchman comprehensive (I get that!) Videos out there, really made sence with me and resonated. ..I can take this info and meld it with my tiny successes and add it to my knowledge bank and improve my skill no doubt. Respect to this Man being interviewed by someone who gets it! Great video and awesome contibuation to the field. So impressed, this really jives with me and my brain Respect to you guys and Dang! Big Thanks. Every word valuable! Rewind rewind rewind , ah ha.😄 thanks Hello from Alaska
Absolutely Amazing!! That was so cool!! Thank you for these videos! I wish these guys did more videos! 👍🏻👍🏻Most of the videos I've seen were through your channel! And Gordy makes awesome stuff for saws! 👍🏻👍🏻
I have never cut down a tree, I have no interest in cutting down a tree, and yet I find these vids highly enjoyable. What kind of internet sorcery are you pulling here? Professionalism is always enjoyable.
So much expertise very impressive. I’d have definitely sat it on my bar dipping into the hinge especially without even palming a wedge haha. It’s crazy to see so much done with a single cut you basically are creating a two stage fall. I always refer to your channel when it comes to fundamental felling techniques love the content and props for being such a humble guy still. Being teachable in this line of work isn’t always a given especially when it comes to somebody like you that had already done so much but you seem to approach everything like it’s the first time still and I think that just makes for so much potential to get better.
Jacob!!!! This is a simple but great video !!!! 📹 and what a wealth of knowledge in the perfect amount of time!!!! 💯 % videos like this are the reason I started following you years ago... 👏
Once agian I want to spend time with that guy! Knowledge and is willing to share it! Also one of the best filmed examples of how a swinging Dutchman works and it in action! Awesome view!
I'm certain I watched the videos form this series out of order.........................but I found them highly entertaining, as well as informative too!
Logging is a whole other aspect to tree work. You’re getting some great opportunities here Jake not just for the experiences but also to expand your knowledge base. As someone who does primarily pruning work and some removals, I would definitely jump at the opportunity to work on a logging site.
I don’t know him personally but I know he and his family are real deal loggers. Proud to see our hometown and industry represented here! Glad you visited the area and hopefully you got to see the crosscut slice of a 2,000+ year old redwood in downtown Fort Bragg.
That was amazing. You could definitely see the tree walking in the footage and hear and see the skill and intelligence in the sound of his saw. Looks like his saw work was dead accurate
I like this feller. ‘only wedge when you need to wedge’! I see too many fellers using wedges in every cut. Slows you down and doesn’t allow you to perfect your craft.
And that is how it's done. Anton of course is 100% right it is a delicate touch thing. But if you know your saw and how it sounds when it's getting pinched down, you can control the rate of walk. These truly are the type cuts you have to be in the timber with high value wood to become proficient at doing. I know this is a worn out analogy but it's like riding a bike....once you learn the balance it becomes almost natural to do. Only hours upon hours on the Mountain can hone and perfect this type cut. Hey thanks again for these Videos, having Anton and Gordy show what we loggers do on a daily basis is very much appreciated by us. Maybe it will give people a better understanding that we don't just grab a chainsaw and go willy Billy cutting down trees. Thanks again, Jacob !
Awesome camera work and explanation. Next you can get into soft or stepped Dutchmen, sizwheels, triple hinges… as others have said, not something for the rookie, and only works on live trees that hinge well. Jake Mesa recently posted a good one though you can’t see the swing as well.
Not into this field of work but subscribed. I am a Sous Chef and I see you have the same passion and love for what you do. That is a rarity. Stay safe!!
I have seen this cut done many times in Louisians, and have used it a few times myself. Yes, it works. It's really cool how if you're cutting, for instance a pine next a road, the tree will first lean a bit toward tgevroad, then walk around and end up at a 45 to the road. This is the only video I have seen of this cut on the internet, and I thought maybe we were some weidos down here for using it, lol!

The best swinging Dutchman instructional resource online. Antone natural teacher. The stump review talk was brilliant.

Not sure what’s more impressive… swingin that thing around or the fact his back cut was spot on his Dutchman. Nice work fella!

As a 23 year master pipe welder I always like seeing other trades at a very detailed level..
Great knowledge being passed on
Awesome demonstration! I logged for a few years during my youth. Most of my time was spent choker setting and limbing. I miss the work.

I may have made some of those, depending upon the island we're talking about
Anton has great way of articulating clearly, seems like a really cool guy. Thanks for the demo, going to try this at work!
I feel this really shows the art of logging and it is so very cool that Anton shared his knowledge and experience with us.
Thanks guys great video.
This is absolute gold ... I've know about leaving a big post and cutting the side you want to swing ..but this dutchman idea is incredible... Thank you
So well explained and demonstrated, this is one of the best YT I have ever seen.
That dude would have tricks up his sleeve that his Great Great Great Grandfather thought up.

That guy is a master of what he do, so satisfying to watch
How awesome - best explanation of a swinging Dutchman that I have ever seen. Very helpful. Thank you guys!

Respect to you guys and Dang! Big Thanks. Every word valuable! Rewind rewind rewind , ah ha.😄 thanks
Hello from Alaska
I've been cutting trees for fire wood for 30+ years, 10-12 cords a year. This guy makes me realize I don't know shit.
Love to see someone that’s still enthusiastic about what they do after all those years. Great info & a great timber faller.
Another great video Jacob! What a great guy Anton is to share his knowledge with us! Thank you all so much! So much to know!!
Always wonderful to watch a master of his craft. Holy cow! Thanks!
Once again. Loggers never let you down. They are amazingly skilled.
Great content 👍. Awesome work
Both Treason and Logger . 👍👍.
Absolutely Amazing!! That was so cool!! Thank you for these videos! I wish these guys did more videos! 👍🏻👍🏻Most of the videos I've seen were through your channel! And Gordy makes awesome stuff for saws! 👍🏻👍🏻

Professionalism is always enjoyable.
I really appreciate the time you gentlemen took to explain exactly what's going on with that cut.
Wow, I'm always blown away by the really good professionals. Great explanation as well. Awesome job 👊 Great video 👌
I totally enjoy watching a person that knows what they are doing and doing it so well. A true professional.
Super cool.. you can actually see the tree doing exactly what he said it was going to do when he’s in his back cut.. crazy talent!
Iv been cutting trees for 5 years and I have never seen anything like this unbelievably good work
Amazing video. Best example of the tree sitting down, then changing direction I've seen. Good job capturing it.
So much expertise very impressive. I’d have definitely sat it on my bar dipping into the hinge especially without even palming a wedge haha.

I love these videos, I love getting the tidbits from the professional fallers!
Awesome! What an amazing knowledge and craftsmanship! Looks so easy and is so hard to do. Great video!
HE IS A MAGICIAN and a really good teacher, the explains things really well and thoroughly. Thanks a lot!!!
Jacob!!!! This is a simple but great video !!!! 📹 and what a wealth of knowledge in the perfect amount of time!!!! 💯 % videos like this are the reason I started following you years ago... 👏

I'm certain I watched the videos form this series out of order.........................but I found them highly entertaining, as well as informative too!
Thanks man nice to see a real cross cutter bushman on the job
No bull love'sand knows his job
Best tree felling video I've watched
I really enjoy the videos with Anton. All your videos but cool info from Anton. Seems like a cool dude.
I don't care what you do or who you are, watching that thing spin and walk right into it's path was remarkable.
But we didn't see it walk did we?
@@akbananachucker2441 Is there some class that you have to take to become a TH-cam d1ck? You'd make an excellent instructor.
Nice work !! Its a pleasure to watch a Pro do his thing !! Thanks for the info !!
Amazing guy, he knows more about those trees than seems possible, thank you for sharing.
Wow, that saw is tuned and dialed great! Love that sound, and the hinge wood creaking too, nice stuff

I don't know about cutting down trees but that was impressive!!! BRAVO
That was AMAZING, he is a true MASTER FELLER! Thanks for the video with all the discussion. I feel like I deserve CEUs for watching this.
You can see the tree lean in the direction he wants halfway through his back cut. The man is a wizard.
This guy is awesome! Talented with a saw but also talented in explaining things.
I’m his kid and no bro trust me he’s a horrible person
That was cool. 32 years of experience there speaks for itself.
Its so amazing watching masters of their craft work
love content like this, what a cool trick that I would likely never see doing residential tree work.
It's crazy just how precise that is
That was poetry in motion 👌🏽 👏🏼
Absolutely incredible! What a wealth of knowledge!
I like that guy, he's a great sport and task oriented.
That’s so freaking impressive! Such skills!
this was just brilliant - loved it
Great to watch somebody work that really knows what he is doing.
Love the info. So much to learn. Keep up the good work and all the best
Howdy Jake and Antone, thank you for distilling a lifetime of experience and knowledge into an eight minute video of felling a tree.
Well clever that . Super cut . Thanks for sharing from england
I don’t know him personally but I know he and his family are real deal loggers. Proud to see our hometown and industry represented here! Glad you visited the area and hopefully you got to see the crosscut slice of a 2,000+ year old redwood in downtown Fort Bragg.
As a local I agree, it's nice to see Mendo once in a while on the tree channels
Beautiful job on that cut . My words for the day THINK SAFETY and put SAFETY FIRST . TAKE CARE !!!
I just watched a master in the woods. Great piece of work. I have heard of a swinging dutchman. Now I have seen it done.
Would love to see a follow up trip. This series is great
Awesome video thanks for sharing and demonstrating. Those Dutchman’s are so cool 😎 to watch. 👍
I’ll definitely use this. Thanks for sharing!
That was amazing. You could definitely see the tree walking in the footage and hear and see the skill and intelligence in the sound of his saw. Looks like his saw work was dead accurate
Education at its finest .👌 so great to learn this ,the dry wood where it sits is 😀amazing
That’s two dudes listening to experience, great seeing tradespeople still exist. Knowledge is true power
as a semi noob give me all these videos. super informative and im learning a lot. Thanks Jacob
This was very cool. This man and Reg are the GOATs.
I like this feller. ‘only wedge when you need to wedge’! I see too many fellers using wedges in every cut. Slows you down and doesn’t allow you to perfect your craft.
Unreal. This dude is awesome.
You guys are rock stars. Excellent questions there, Jacob!
That. Was. AWESOME! What an artist!
All these guys a good loggers; but Antone? he's the daddy, way out on another planet.
Good questions, great answers!
Great teacher and skilled!

That was super dam impressive. Well done. Bucking Billy Ray I think would even say well done. And that man can drop some wood.
Absolutely fascinating! Antone is a treasure!

Man's got the skills to pay the bills ❤
"I think you're buckin this one, jacob." LMAO. Merry Pissmas!
That was fantastic!!!! I just learned something. Thank you.

Back again to study, this is epic!

This is why people come to channels like this. Legendary area to be harvesting trees.
