I prefer to leave a holding strap at the back, pull my saw out, wedge and then take the strap out from beneath, 👍🌲🇮🇪

That's the way we do it in Sweden too. Twirling around the saw like this feels like you could accidentally catch your hingewood

You do a really nice job of explaining without a bunch of other stuff. Nice watching a craftsman who has learned his trade.

As I work alone on my property I don't have someone to drive the wedges while I am cutting. So I leave a back strap in place which gives me time to place my wedges. Once they are in I then cut the back strap. Still lots of good info in your video. One excellent point that you show is about taking your time and checking both sides of the hinge cut and the bore cut.... keep everything even.

The power of technology overwhelms everything

Good vid! Great to see some fresh content. My son's trying to learn as much as possible about tree work since it is such a high-demand job around here (we're just north of Tahoe a ways) and pays well. So, besides what I can share, I try to point him in the direction of some solid vids to reinforce everything. Bore cuts sure are handy!

Ive watched a bunch of your videos at this point and they are very well done, professional and informative. They are also fun to watch and you present a lot of interesting info. Thanks for taking the time to share the knowledge.

I love these videos so much! Thanks for spreading your knowledge...thanks for the share!

I absolutely enjoy watching you guys fell trees. Was there ever a time you guys fell a tree that size without wedges

Always Awesome! I love these videos! Thank you. However I still only do simple & easy trees, as these videos teach me how much I DON'T know! :-)

Good stuff guys !💪🏻

Thanks for the valuable instruction. Two topics to propose: 1. Your choice of PPE, especially pants, & the reasons for YOUR choices & 2. A discusion of how you KZread (equipment, editing, et cetera). Thanks again. DOUGout

Great Stuff- Thank You for the tips 👍

This video demonstrates the modernity of the equipment. If in the past we used to spend a lot of effort processing various types of trees, now with the advent of machinery, it has helped us to carry out the work quickly and effectively. Thank you for bringing such an interesting video

Nice work Casey!!

Great job, again.😊

Great video. Helped me a lot

Super video , nice work , lumberjack of Czech republic .

Got a dead leaner that will fall across the drive road. Thanks for the brush up for tomorrow morning.

Cutting down trees is a science. I would imagine that if it is rotten in the middle it would make it less predictable that the tree would want to fall.

Nice channel, Mountain Deer! Great content.

Appreciate you sharing your knowledge, I always pick-up a tip to make me better in the woodyard. Thanks Tony

Interesting technique. I may use this on a 24" diameter I need to take down with my 18" saw. I used a bore cut with back strap approach on a problem tree that had another ltree leaning into the crown. Both were 22". I bored from each side carefully and got them aligned. Then I cut the back strap and had total control - of running away.

Great vid thank you!

Man I love your videos! Very informative and quickly executed at the same time. Can’t wait for the next episode.

How do you stop the bar from cutting into the back of the hinge when you come around the back that way?

Great work

Very nice job, guys...

Keren,, sangat menginspirasi 😊👍

Thank's I am learning

Good Job!

I am interested in plunge cuts because around structures I need to take precautions and want to have guaranteed time to add wedges. I didn't know you could do a plunge cut by rotating around the tree like that. On the one hand, it allows you to get a wedge directly in the back of the tree. On the other hand, the extra side wedge and a thicker hinge on one side introduce some twisting forces so the last cut needs to be done fairly quickly and accurately which you did. As an unprofessional homeowner, I think I still prefer to get the plunge hinge all set up first and leave a back strap so that I can add a wedge to either side to have a more symmetrical force on both sides, then just need to cut the back. However, in that case, I need to be mindful of the saw chain with the wedges whereas in your method you are past them. I may try this in a safe place a few times and evaluate it more.

Nice! I’m a new to the tree climbing. Need help with my Back cuts when I’m in the tree ... I’m Running a 12’’ bar on my Top handle saw .. so some of the limbs I can’t see the tip of the bar when I’m putting a face cut on the limb ... I went with a 12’’ bar because I was new and a first timer at this climbing work .. So wanted to be safe as possible .. been watching a bunch of videos and looks like most are running 14’’ bars on there limbing saws ... I guess practice practice practice right lol .. any tips let me know thanks !

Great 🤩🪵👍🏻👍🏻

Good job

Love your smile :)

Wondering what would be the minimum size tree u use this technique? Im cutting mostly hardwood maples

You did a great demo explaining the tactics and proposal. Two thumbs up from me.

what model is that Stihl? My 310 just bit the dust.

Great video! I learned a lot and hope to put it to use on some larger trees. Thanks.

Good fell

Why use a bore cut rather than conventional where you would come in from the back?

excellent demo on how to safely set up the cut and fall of a large diameter tree. Well done.

Is that a 20 inches bar?

How is "80% of the diameter" a "3rd of the way" in?

@dannyknapp515

It makes perfect sense , as 100 % tree diameter would be 1/2 way so 1/3 would be shy of halfway 🤷‍♂️

It's the length of the face cut, not the depth.

Not a big borer fan in a healthy tree, if it’s rotten, bore and go, forget wedging, unless there is lean.

'kid knows what he's doing. Respect my friend.

It’s a luigiiii

Et sinon, vous laissez toujours une souche aussi haute ?

Where’s your trigger?

Why didn't he leave tab on the back? Get everything done then cut the tab....she gone

your back cuts need to be higher! really

Is it just me, or was that a near perfect job?

@TheUssrcjak47

It wasn’t, he never added a trigger in the back, he cut through the whole through when he’s supposed to only cut the middle and leave a Tiny bit on the back called a trigger, once you add the wedges you cut that trigger and it falls, the trigger keeps it safe from premature falling

That is not the standard bore cut with a holding strap....

That hinge is absolute trash. I don't think you should be promoting that kind of felling with a back cut like that.

🗽 Why killing this nice tree ??? 🤔 .
