Tree Felling - Leaners

Hallelujah! No background music; a serious teaching video. Thanks.

Hi Terry, I live on a farm and tree cutting is a necessary task most years. But because it is only occasional, we lack the experience that regular chainsaw users would have. However, you presentations have provided top class information and instruction in techniques and safety when working. The level of awareness such presentations create cannot be overestimated.... it's should not be considered 'dramatic' to believe that your videos have saved people from injury, or worse. Thank you, and I wish you every success in all that you do. Greetings from Ireland!

One of the greatest demo's I seen of the barber chair. I hope it prevents injury. God Bless

Thanks Terry, I've been cutting trees with a chainsaw since I was actually paid by a friend of my parents, to come and work afternoons during the winter, when I was 11 or 12 years old. I'm now 66, and I never knew about using a boring technique properly until I saw this video! Thanks for teaching an old dog a new trick!

Watched your felling videos about 2 years ago and h have seen many since but yours are the ones I come back to for review. Thank you Terry for educating in a clear no frills way!

Best graphical illustrations of tree felling dangers I have seen so far.

Thank you for the great Info Terry. I appreciate the in depth explanations, the diagrams, and you taking the time to put these videos together.

Nice presentation.  Clear explanation of the 'physics' and danger involved with tree felling.  I've been a lucky old fool in the past and dodged a few bullets, but it's never too late to learn.  Thanks!

As a newbee, I really appreciate the calm technical style of these videos. Makes feel a bit braver about trying out some of the techniques. Thanks Terry

Terry, Your whole series is excellent. Thank you. I am certain that you have saved a lot of people major grief and injury. Thanks again.

You give a really solid explanation of the physics of what’s going on. I’ve watched the videos and been able to improve my tree felling. Thanks!

Thank you for the detailed information. I will be watching more of your videos. Outdoors with the Morgans sent me here. I have woodcutting to do on a property that I bought. You may have prevented me from hurting myself with your videos. I love to learn from others over learning from mistakes.

Thank you very much, Terry, for all the tree felling vids. They're all very clear and well explained. We're removing a couple dozen sick poplars. They're about 35-40 years old and these things grow large pretty quickly! Some of them lean as much as 45 degrees. Two years ago, my employer made the mistake of using a normal back cut and got hit by such a split and kick back. His upper leg was severely injured and needed care and drains for months. Luckily it's good now and all that remains is a foot long scar. So now I'm studying how to cut the rest of them safely. You've definitely helped me a lot to achieve that goal. Thanks, life bless you!

Absolute best content on Youtube. Thanks Mr Hale...

Your videos are excellent and will remain a part of my tool set for staying alive when felling trees. Also, this was one of the best illustrations of the stresses which lead to barber-chairing.

Great educational video! I really appreciate the geometry explanations with graphics and basic mathematical formals! Thank you.

Hi Terry, I was directed here from another video about cutting leaning trees and am I glad I came. Your explantions and diagrams are clear and concise, and the practical demonstration showed in a controlled manner thank you very much for taking the time in making this. I have a thirteen stemed laurel to fell and clear for a friend and all the trunks although reasonable small are severly leaning so your explanation on a diagonal plunge cut has shown me the way. Many thanks Nigel - West Wales

Next to buckin Billy you guys do a great job of explaining felling trees... I'm just a guy that heats our home with wood and help my buddies maintain their properties so in try to gain as much knowledge from guys like y'all so I can stay safe and enjoy my chainsaws... thank you for sharing your knowledge on here

You’re a very smart feller ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge !

Terry, thank you for an excellent presentation. The combination of explanations and graphics is clear and very helpful. I appreciate the effort that you put into this video.
