As I’m getting older, 32 now with a young family; I am starting to appreciate the need for protecting oneself. An ounce of prevention/safety is worth a pound of cure. Thanks for setting a good example.

Good advice on making several partial cuts before doing the complete cut and rolling it over. I've always done it one at a time, but your way looks more productive.

Never thought of using the length of the blade as a measuring tool to get accurate lengths.. pretty sure that's stuck in my head now.

I can appreciate the trauma kit coming along. Also, great advice. I have a smaller chainsaw and am undertaking a larger tree this week so needed to figure out how to not get stuck. Thank you!

Your dog is so cute he’s like ok let’s go when you got in the truck lol😂

Thank you for starting with PPE and trauma kit.

Great video!

i like how your dog goes into 4wd mode too when you go over the bumps lol

Im usually a smart are in the comments, but you did a great job and don't get me started on how beautiful the wood is on the inside .

Good educational video on the use of a chainsaw.

I got a lot of work to do.! Yikes!😂 I love my backyard view here in Maine. But I was raised in a big city. And Maine the other half..😊 a 110’ tree fell and a forty foot branch! Lots of destruction! Many many wind storms never seen here. I have work with my hands on this one lol I’m still learning and working hard. Gimme some prayers

Always be learning! That’s what I’m doing. I’ve got a lot of family up in the Main and NH area. In fact my Grandfather who taught me to run a saw was from up there. You’ve got lots of smart people to learn from!

@@HurricaneHomestead yup! Just gotta find the ones who have experience

I’ve recently started using my saw more and I use the same trick to avoid the pinch. I also use the trick of using my bar to measure my next cut. Good tips

We've got a bunch of trees down that I'll be cutting up this spring, so I'll be using all the little tricks to get more firewood put away for next winter.

Boutta go cut my trees rn thanks so much💪

Thx, very informative. I have some older felled trees that are "soiledl" and partly decomposed underneath - any suggestions for minimizing chain damage after brushing off as much of the soiled material and getting to it? Thx

You have the Easy Start on that saw. I have one that has it as well and I find that it works great. I read and hear a lot of negative stuff about them but I guess it's because people try to start them like a normal saw(?).

Yeah. I got reprimanded by the guy from STIHL when he saw me try to start it with a full hard pull after I first got it. Two quick half pulls and it starts every time.

@@HurricaneHomestead I'm so curious about this feature. Maybe I need to ask my husband to buy me a new chainsaw! :) I hope you feel better.

I love the safety gear, in the last video I watched about "how to use a chainsaw" the F'ing guy was literally in shorts and a t-shirt with decksider shoes on. WTAF!!

It only takes one slip to be called peg leg for the rest of your life.

Any suggestions on a downed tree that is straight and flat on the ground but you can't roll it due to obstacles? In that case i will try to cut it as short as possible and lift it. I thought i saw some lay something on the ground beforehand or notch it at the stump but that is beyond me.

You learned well ! good job :) Beautiful center in that tree, I wish I had a few like that in my back yard for my mill :)

So this is permaculture and homesteading at a quality that fits nature with an existing /thriving ecosystem and who knows what can become of the harvest/milling.

I need to learn how to use a chain saw and how to navigate chopping trees so I don’t get hurt . Or die

It helps to work with guys who know what they're doing and will stop you before you do something dumb.
