Massive Tree Crashes | Wrong Direction! 

Thanks. I appreciate it.

I 💯 percent agree..I actually watched it all top..it's gotta be interesting to keep my attention that long..I guess I'm a lot like this guy. Be safe Brother and May God Bless All!!!

I don't know, I work fast. I've seen guys and friends that do this all their lives, and they would have dropped that tree much faster without climbing, wedges, and hit the spot. We are close to 70 years old self taught and that tree is not that big. But we live in the high forest, dropping trees is what we do. I'm not bragging we just drop tress all the time for rual people that can't and man there a lot of dead pines up here. Maybe it's just different in resadential areas ?

@@moepow8160 Take a video of any of those trees and watch it. The tree will look half the size.

@@moepow8160 Much faster? Really? Make a video and post it. Please! I'd LOVE to see that.

And this is nothing! I climbed way more sketchy trees last year before I started this RU-vid channel. 😀

The only blocks I mess around with are in Minecraft. 🤷‍♂️🤪

100% agree. I'm a climber/arborist in training and from what I have experienced, the only certainty with tree work is that trees are unpredictable. Everything can be set up perfectly, escape routes mapped, good cuts, solid holding wood, clear communication, pretty much everything is perfectly set up, and the tree still might decide to say, "Nope. Not doing what you want". Always be prepared for things to go wrong. Although I will say the one-handing the saw makes me nervous. I almost lost my thumb to a saw a few years ago (injured by someone being an idiot, not b my own hand), severed both tendons in it. Since then, I am a stickler for two-handing saws. Your humility is appreciated. Thank you for sharing the video.

@@maseyado2123 I come from a long line of sea captains and loggers. You mentioned your thumb reminds me of one of my uncles who had lost half his thumb and I remember so vividly him and his "rat tail" file sharpening his chainsaws. He was a tree cutting fool, when he was felling trees you had to stay the heck out of the way.

Yeah, nobody was hurt and no damage = no fail 👍👍

It dropped the way the holding wood dictated as usual. Its not a fail but he could have done better obviously.

Looked like a beaver with a toothache made that face cut.

He knew the notch was cut at the wrong angle & did not straighten it properly. If he does something that simple again it should be a 'quit'.

For sure

👍

Haha. Nah, just make logical decisions. It's just like any other labor job at height.

How tall was the tree.​@@VeteranTreeService

@@christophertaylor2464 not super tall maybe 110-120ft. I can't honestly remember.

@@VeteranTreeService I was thinking it was 200 or 250 ft tall. I live in central Texas and we have up to 120 ft pine trees here.

Geez, am I that ugly? Rude! 😅😉

Ha! I agree…my stomach was rolling because of the space from where you were to where the branches seemed to splatter on the ground below. AND I was a tree pruning landscaper. I climbed trees all the time but never that high!

Ha! Ha! I’m with ya! Honestly, heights never used to bother me, but aparently they do now! ;-)

Couldn't agree with you more. Can't handle Heights.

It is certainly a lot of work.

Thanks

Nice to have you watching. Thanks!

Lol. 👍

Haha. Ya, most people would have.

I felt nauseous for the entire video.

Same here! The only way I could get through it without having a heart attack was by saying, "he makes it out fine, he makes it out fine" over and over again. Man, I hope he gets paid a lot for his trade; it takes courage and tremendous skill.

Safe and sound.

👍 It was awesome!

Comments are the best

Nothing ‘wild’ about it. This young man is a skillful tree cutter. He’s very intelligent and careful, making calculated decisions, not guesses. He knows what to do and is doing it. Any man can buy a chainsaw, but that doesn’t qualify them to be expert tree cutters.

@@e.conboy4286 Different meaning of wild. It was very wild in the way I'm using the world. It was also a cool video, but I'm not talking about temperature.

Hello!

@guiltyoftreeson

Lol

Thanks for the tip. 👍

Awesome place. Love it here!

Thanks

And the longest username award goes to you!

🌟🎆

Thanks 👍

No problem

Thanks

People like to fall asleep watching these videos. So funny to me.

It gets old. 😅

Agreed. NEVER cut your hinge meat out to get a tree to drop. Make the winch do its job. Also, don't overwork the winch by leaving 4" of hinge on a 30" base..

Thanks

Sizwell won't steer much when they're dead & brittle. It will almost always snap at your initial under-cut line, as it did

@@ronaldhills8646I don’t think he had a sizwheel in it I think it was just a gapped face with a snipe and he thought the snipe would steer it to the left I think I couldn’t really see his face that well though could be wrong

@@joemyers4037 I think this is correct.

@@ronaldhills8646 The tree was just too big to get it to un-commit from the direction of the hinge.

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed!
