NEVER Do This When Cutting Down A Tree!!

Hi guys, I'm Simeon from a Swedish farm together with my brother Tim who is the arborist and lumberjack, we want to demonstrate something that we have seen on YouTube many times and it personally scares me

when

people do

this

wrong and we want to prove it to them. one of the big mistakes that people make and learn from it and you don't do it, so here we are in a

tree

that was blown down and broken by a wind storm and you see that we have to cut down these last remaining meters here and we want to show him something which I've seen a lot of people do wrong, but there are times

when

we actually do it differently, so here we're going to do a plunge cut felling and what's really important is that the two cuts of the from the front of the

tree

from the back of the tree that are at the same level because otherwise there is a risk that you cut too much of the tree fibers that are supposed to hold the tree in its position until it has fallen, you cut them and the tree goes and it falls and in different kinds of directions that you don't want, it's very dangerous, there are times when you use it, but that's a little more advanced, we just want to demonstrate, you know, my brother is going to demonstrate to you how we think it's a of the safest standard ways of doing

this

, so as you can see here, these two cuts, the one in the front and the one in the back, are not at the same level, which brings There is a high risk that you go too high and then see this has nothing left to hold up so now we can do this because it's just an eight foot tall tree stump, but it's very dangerous and like my brother says. is going to lower this now you will see how it will break and there are no fibers holding it in place securely so here you can see and this is something that I have seen in many YouTube videos, almost nothing was holding this tree in place just because this cut was made higher you couldn't really see how thick it was and it went too far and just broke, it didn't guide the tree as it was falling and this is very dangerous.

I think in most situations it could cause a lot of danger, so you're the expert and you said that sometimes you use something like this. Yes, for example, if you cut down a tree, you can use it, but you still have to be very careful when leaving it. enough for the fibers to hold it is very difficult to see it is difficult to be precise if you want a very thin hinge it is difficult to thin it well, if you want to be sure you have to leave more well, thanks for the demonstrations if you want to see how we do this and how we find these two cuts at the correct level watch my video on how to follow the tree.

I'll link it right there for you guys, okay guys, thanks, that's all. I hope you enjoyed this short. video, but I think it is very important, there are different schools on how to cut down a tree. We work hard in Sweden and they want it to be that way, so I hope you enjoyed it, they say from the forest and on the farm, and I.
