WORLD'S BEST TREE FELLING TUTORIAL! Way more information than you ever wanted on how to fell a tree!

He bows. pretty good in the direction I want, so you have to think that if the

tree

is leaning too much, you know there's a lot of pressure on that stem when you put the saw on the back, you know too much force can cause you I know it can cause it to reach the barber chair, which can create a really dangerous situation. I'm going to jump in and try to do it right here and leave it in my cut up to about 10 percent wood retention and then most guys cut. Up to 2/3 of an inch and then we came out perfect.okay so this backstrap will hold a lot of weight and the theory behind this is that all the weight will be released at once rather than incrementally which could cause the possibility of, you know, breaking a barber chair and things like that, so I'm just going to go through it, this thing should fall where it was cut, that'll be fine, so that was the perforated cut and it works pretty well, yeah, one warning that you can drill a little from behind.

Where Jake said: "Come somewhere really safe here and you still have plenty of back strap, the

tree

is n

ever

going anywhere no matter how heavy it is supported, with about four inches of wood in the sapwood you can drill and then work your up very carefully take your time on the other side you know I don't use it yeah and it's worth noting that the wood back here would be tensioned wood and this is compressed wood so you can imagine how it holds up the wood here. like a tension wire and this here is like a strut a little bit of wood here is much stronger than a little bit of wood here so a little bit could hold a lot here this one is one hundred and thirty nine feet tall 22 inches in diameter, well, it's a significant cycle towards the house.

If I hold this rope right in the middle of things, I can see the rope going about two feet towards the house. If I get it, yeah, I don't know, though. Tom means that the militants trampled the house off center, so there's a trick I learned called "siz well" that holds a lot

more

tension than an ordinary cut wood, so I'll try to show that cut and then I'll also try to swing. the tree outside the offices so it would be an angled cut like this and it tends to swing the tree like a door cool yeah I cut a little dutch there on my first cut its because I

wanted

to miss on the dutch side .

I don't want a gap on the compression side because the tree can fail in torque, you want a pinch here, you actually want to build up compression here and not let the compression go, that's why you don't do a full gap phase, so I do it. What we have is like a face with modified spaces, this part has a space and, if I want, I'll take and punch this little corner here and that will actually save that says, "well, a little better, these parts will be closed first and this will be will keep it that way." It's no one's business, you can see that the fiber pole wants the trees to fall and holds up the

world

.

If this tilted harder than this, we would have to put a rope there and tie it 90 degrees there to maintain the lateral tilt. just a nice trick when you're close to the house, this is a bit borderline for me. I wouldn't really try to change

more

side liens than that, so there's all the side liens built up and you can see that we removed the grain for the bottom of my cut there, so instead of your tension just being wrapped in this little piece of hold, would you have effectively spread it over a larger amount of wood fire?

It becomes almost like a cable on your tension side. I love this. gimmick, it may be overrated if you try to get away with it, but here and there it's really nice to use and you saw that the tree was pulled to the side, it even twisted a little bit, so it even rolled like that a little bit and stayed steady. very well dead, good job man, climbing tree number five. I'm pretty simple and all Latrobe, so I'm going to take this game with a grain of salt. I don't need to configure it. I don't even make him crazy.

Hello. We're only going about 35 feet, we're going to have a lot of l

ever

age, the skin, I'm going to remove the carabiner from my rigging line, I don't want that to get stuck, all right, I'm going to get the ball out, I'm just going to grab this winch light and Free Spin. I'm going to come here to show you that it's really useful. No, this is a bowline in a bite, so look at this, just bite a rope, how was that? I haven't measured it, so just take a bite like that. like this, look, run the rope over here, go around all this, tighten like this and it's a really useful bowline in a cove, you can put a lot of weight on it, it will come out, it will come loose when you're done. with this I'm just going to grab this guy, go ahead, pull him out, tie him up, we don't need much tugging, this thing doesn't really lean back that hard, so we're just going to tighten it up, yeah, it feels.

A good man just taught you how to pull something with a rope, you don't want to put too much pressure on it right away, you just want to hold the tree in place while you get cut if you put it down. too much force on it, you can prematurely break the piece you know from the stump, so let's adjust it. Chad will do this one and once he's cut, he'll be about 10% into this hinge wood, so we'll do it. just have Dover pull it up this should go pretty well so Chad yeah you're going to stretch that trio Chad yeah you've got a weird cat face here we should explain that we're holding these stumps really high for the hole we have.

We'll take them out with a backhoe, so normally we'd go down a lot lower and stay in the tree like this, it just gives you more space for the wedges, although there's some widening there, the grain isn't as straight, a bit like a cat . heads here, nothing to worry about and then he'll cut it here anyway Chad, what do you think? In there, boy, so yeah, we've got a windup honour, there might be a little bit of a wedge hit, so see how this works. Well, no. Out of print, good job man, dad usually works on the prudent team, he's pretty good at meditating, gotta get him off the pruning team, he's an arborist and that stuff is proving to be bigger now, yeah, it's turning into this / this is good, I don't know, Jed was the The diameter of this 23 is an inch bigger than the one I made, so it's probably taller too, so I measured it, it's 148, but Dover is in a good, safe 149, oh well, he's over any wasted excess, well, yeah, he's saying I hate you, so 23.

Yeah, just adjust it and look at it, yeah, on the other side, yeah, you know, just to make sure you've got enough now you really look good here but you know you could use two more inches okay you could hit it and real tight but trying to do it naturally nice shot well john fun stuff hey look at your lips that's cute, I'm just a prune or something, oh my god, good job Dover, so remember my bike bowling. I have you. this is to undo that bada-bing bada-boom knob buddy dad, okay, so we have two trees left, we just have these two guys here, they both leaned back pretty hard.

I'll do an open face demonstration and Jed will do it. a back cut first in this tricky one. I'll have a Dover here push this for me. Let me show you what a bad notch looks like real quick, yeah, okay, so this is an example. This is a mean cut. It's bad because the depth is fine, but you see how narrow this opening is here, so this is going to close and once it closes, this tree will have moved a little bit and will be mostly upright, you don't want to call things with these short notches because the idea of ​​having this section of wood here so that as the tree starts to close, the hinge wood will direct the tree where you want it to go as soon as the front cut closes.

The game is over, it just goes wherever gravity takes it, that's why you want it to be you, you want your face to be relatively open and on a leaning back tree you want it to be especially open because, like this thing gets up before let it come once. It's tilted where I

wanted

to go, the face has to be big so it has time to close completely, if I just open it a little bit, soon, when this thing closes, then you know, the face cuts finished operating and al so you just have to hope that you have enough momentum to put it the right way so I'm going to open this up and we're going to push it in so this is what we call an open face and a The downside of this is that it's going to close slowly so you will have more control over a longer period of time.

One downside is that the tip of this tree will stick into the ground, especially with our tall stoves, yes, especially with the tall stump, so we're going to break it, yes, so the trunk will probably break in some places, but I want to do it anyway because this tree leans back a lot and I want this to be nice and open with plenty of time to close it, etc. that's the open cut concept, it's really useful when you have something leaning back, it has a lot of time to close so I'm cut to where I want to be.

I'm going to take another swing and now Dover goes ahead and drives. forward while cooking it was a little high on this side but everything came out the same you see what I mean, the face can take a long time to close if it had been narrow or shallow or something like an arrow if it had been If it had been narrow, it would it would close as soon as you pushed it and then it could have broken and gone who knows where, so on the sloping back it's nice to have a lot of room to work with, you know, that was the open face.

I've already cleaned this up, miss another Neil cheek, there's usually nails in there, okay, one more and he leans back hard. We have the skid steer there as security in case we need to push it, but we're going to demonstrate it. Jed is going to demonstrate the first back cutting method on this one before he does some stunts like this, I just know I have this giant machine so unless I cut the wood on the hinge I feel good about doing this, I'll never you will want to do this. in the wind because it can take the tree before you cut yourself in the face and now no one knows where it will end up, the barber chair landing on the house could be terrible, so don't do it in the wind, don't look Do it if you're just starting out and cutting, you can do it when you feel comfortable with more traditional things.

I think this tree leans back hard and you know normally you would go in and tie the knot first, but the problem is all the weight shifts back as you do this, you're losing this tension of the wood right here, so the tree wants to sit naturally, so if you go too deep, obviously the trees will start to fall, so what can you? What you have to do is go in first with the back cut and hit the wedges and that way they will stabilize the tree and then you can go in and cut your face at 10% or whatever and then you'll be all cut and then you can keep hitting it , so you should do it with extreme caution.

Ideally you would do something like this. You know in the woods there would be no obstacles around here, but we have the skid steer there as a backup in case this happens. It's not going well, we'll just push it to feel safe, but first we're going to demonstrate how to do it again. This is a way to lean a tree back without a rope. It's really good to remove the bark. if it acts as a kind of sponge, it takes away the power of the wedge and it can also make you think that you have a little more residual limb than you actually have, the only thing that will be the only compression, the only material that will have enough compression.

The force to push this thing like that out of the wedges is the SAP wood, the bark doesn't do anything it'll even impede you a little hey hey good job Jed yeah Jed's the man good job man like that Today we saw a lot of cuts, good job everyone. Good job dad, that was, yeah, he did great, you too Chad, he did good, he did too / good job, Dover, which sounds good to me, man, so that's it, hope everyone learn something from that, it was a fun day, yes, one more tree to clean. so we're out of here, it's all kinds of cuts, I think that's it, everything there is to know about cutting down trees, that's all we know, good job guys, it was amazing, okay, good job, Dover, okay, that's it, that's all for the

world
