This guy is by far the best felling teacher on YouTube. Goes into the perfect amount of detail without over complicating things. I just felled my first tree today after watching a lot of your videos.
-
I just felled about 15 old alders for my neighbor... they all fell where I wanted them to fall but I didn't have cars and homes to deal with. You are a true professional! Thank you.
-
That's a really good tip about cutting below the holding wood so that your saw doesn't potentially go with the tree. Thanks, great video!
-
I've been binging tree felling fails all day and just had to see a pro do it for once, and with a lean like that to! Just amazing!
-
Anyone who does professional tree work could make personal comments on this. No 2 people are going to do this removal the same. The fundamentals are there. This is a solid Job by a professional arborist. Thank you!
-
Appreciate you taking the time to explain each step you took. Downed that tree like a boss!
-
Thank god there are people willing to do this art and engineering.
-
I use the plunge cut often. It makes me feel safer if I have those wedges in before nicking the back strap, or stress wood. Even a straight tree can have some lean. Great video!
-
I'll probably never fell a tree, I just enjoy listening to professionals explain their craft. Great explanation and thank you for posting!
-
Seen a lot of treefelling clips, and this was the one I learned the most from. Thanx!
-
Excellent video. I had a huge leaner that was leaning towards my house that I needed to take down. Used your come-along idea and it came down perfectly. Thanks for putting this video out
-
That was some of the most professional service I've ever seen!
-
Best video under 10 mins on an open face cut. I’ve been referring to this as a refresher for my s-212 class
-
Dude sitting by the cut pile in front of the leaner had the utmost confidence in the Faller. He sat there with not a care in the world... right in the kill zone. 😀
-
Awesome. You just gave me some confidence is felling a "Leaner" that I have in my backyard. I will certainly use your technique
-
Pretty slick! I've felled many trees but never thought of this method-gonna keep this in mind as it appears to be much safer!
-
Love your videos! Clear, concise, and informative. Love the humility of learning each time we cut and understanding our own self improvement through all levels and complexities of felling; novice to expert.
-
Could not have been a better ending than watching you remove the splinters from the hinge area! You spoke to it and then we see you follow up - outstanding content.
-
I tried this and it worked perfectly!! Thanks for the tips!
-
Hey Bud, great video... exceptional clarity on your strategy and some humility on getting it perfect. Great job!
