Yes but it's bound to happen, people need to understand the area they live in.. whether it be prone to hurricanes and tropical storms, or high heat and little humidity for fires. It's all just part of nature, and just because most of us have I been around long enough to see huge storms and disasters, does not mean they have never occurred before. Humans are very adaptable, and while it's tragic and inconvenient for a lot of people. Again, you need to understand the area and know when and how to deal with the situations of the region.

A quick tip to make bucking large logs a bit safer from a fellow C Faller: "Cut your offside first". Dawg in at the top center and cut, pivoting down from dawgs until bar is vertical, then finish as you did here with kerf on top followed by an undercut. Cutting your offside first reduces the width of the tree by half so you won't need to lean in so close when finishing your undercut. This allows you to be further from the log when it releases.

Interesting to witness the differences in techniques in breaking a stressed logs back to get it on the ground safely, where you use wedges to keep the top relief cut open, us Brits don't, we may even cut out a shallow gob on top so we can watch it close in on the under cut relieving the tension a bit slower (once the risk assessment had been completed of course) Hats off to all you guys fighting these fires, you have my deepest respect. keep up the sterling work. Stay safe 👍

If you keep the saw sharp the tree wont catch fire when you try and fall it. :-)

It's refreshing to watch someone, other than a logger, that knows how to run a saw. Keeps the rpms constant, never bogging it. Good job. And from the camera angle, it looked like you were using the tree on your left for protection from the log jumping back at you. Great job.

It teaches us that it really makes no difference if we are fat and slow. There’s no reason to get in shape, train, or work hard at getting faster, because in the end, being faster and more athletic will just cause you to lose, anyway. Slow and steady always wins the race. It works out that way any time the faster person takes a nap in the middle of the race, and doesn’t wake up until after you cross the finish line, so basically always, pretty much.

Russell Moore A straight single cut on top and then a straight offset cut on bottom is fine for smaller trees (6" & under). For anything larger I'd recommend you make the wedge cut on top, and then obviously an offset underside cut. Repeat in sections starting from base until the majority of the tree is dropped. Only use this method for a tree hung ~60° and under.

Nice to see someone who can actually use a chainsaw safely! Well done. Just a tip that I learned when dealing with trees that are leaning like that, instead of just doing your first cut on the compression side and then putting in wedges, I always put a V gob on that side (similar to the one used for felling). Then when you do the cut on the tension side, instead of the tree breaking at some random moment, you will see your cut opening (just like felling) and you more time to control the tree and to move out of the way when it's ready to break. It's also a lot quicker as you don't need the wedges and it's a lot kinder on your nerves! Have a go and let me know what you think. It's got me out of some pritty scary spots over the years :-)

Got few claps/acclaims, but this video took me back. Almost 30 years. Still proud of you (not just 'jumpers, but all you folks ...)

I get shook watching this guy. I work for a timber company. I run a 661 fuel injected stihl. I understand the danger...but theres no need for the wedges. he acts like he just started yesterday...just get on with it dude

perhaps he needed the wedge as the tree was pinching his saw on the downward cut?

I know this is a old comment but in curious also maybe it burns from the roots to inside the tree idk

who else felt like he was giving lessons on tree cutting to the other guys?

i don't know what the whole video is.so easy and simple but this man make it so difficult and confused.beardo is right.no wedges are needed.this old man is still green.can not handle the chainsaw.

Cut the damn thing already! This isn’t surgery, it’s a burning log lol

Wow that's a lot of time wasted on one log on fire!!??? So again please what was the point of this????

I don't know because I wasn't there. but that didn't look like a tough or dangerous cut to me!! maybe I just have more experience!

So what experience do u have cutting large burning pieces of cedar

That awkward moment when you miss the punch 2 times in a row

Its a download tree. Theres no side load at all. What is so scary?

damn, these boys really roasted him. lol I've never ran a chainsaw but the wedges on the first cut did seem unnecessary.

Counter productive.

The readon it took so long is that the wedges held the log in tension. Do the top cut ,withdraw to about a wuarter diameter cut down undet and up and it will drop away from you. U just made it harder for yourself

Omg. Chopping tools and digging tools should not be used as prying tools. I was just waiting to see the handles break. But I guess that's why structural fire firefighters are the best.

Here I though it was a national emergency and all these guys were trying to save a forest, and here he was just trying to get a piece of cedar for his woodshop at home. Ya gotta love it!!!

3:50 It's just like any road construction job. One guy working, 8 guys watching.

Proud to say I know you in the You Tube sense. You handled those trees in a safe way and got applause. Thanks to you and all the other firefighters.

Wranglerstar hey how would the tree catch fire like that?

Come on. Not that dangerous with the right cut🙄

Let me get this straight. Wildfire. Firefighting crew. Everyone supposed to be fighting the fire. However, instead of fire fighting you take 12+ minutes out to film. Real responsible.

Lol, and you were the one qualified to do it? Scary world out there!

Is this his first time using a chainsaw?

As he said, what a shame about a beautiful piece of cedar! It's nice to know these folk appreciate the medium they work with!

Do you realize the danger of running a saw with your buddy standing directly in front of that saw? If a cutting tooth were to break from the chain he wouldn't be a happy camper.

I work in the timber industry and would have had that down in less than a minute no wedges just cut through the top leave a trigger and bore through the bottom than bring it up

That is a walk in the park been there 100s of times.

The only thing that made it dangerous was his obvious lack of experience... The job itself was super easy but he broke pretty much every safety rule in doing it, and acted super nervous all the time, almost tripping himself over, obviously not know what he is doing ;)

"Undercut!", the musical.

Too dangerous? Lol? Dangerous for sure but easy and fairly safe if you know what your doing.

Thank you for the share but in a crew, Never cut with someone straight across from the bar front. In Washington state, guy killed his wife that way when the chain popped, then it hit her neck.

Yeah I have viewed the Wrangler Videos before and I though I could learn something from him. He has all the neat little accessories, but driving wedges in the top of a log that is being undercut makes absolutely no sense. This guy in an amateur. No more of his videos for me. I just filtered out another non-expert trying to pass himself off as an expert. That is about the safest cut any one cut make. No way for the tree to fall on you when it is on the ground and on the other side of a tree.

He drives wedges in the top to pinch his bar at the bottom ;)

so just a little bit of feed back, i would of knotched the top and then do the bottom cut that way it would be able to break itself easier.

What with all the wedges just cut the thing dam that painfull to watch being a 7 year climber ben cuting sense 2000

Pro timber fellers do cuts like that all day. No wedges needed. To do correctly one would cut almost half the wood away on the back side. Powerhead would end up at 12 o'clock. If cutter does not have a lot of experience cut out a 3-6 inch face on top although not necessary. Start under cut. This would take about 1 minute. That looks like Western Red Cedar near a road. Save the thing and make shakes or boards out of.

All these experts have obviously never done much tree-work, i meet them all the time, they are bloody dangerous with all the faffing about, its because they are nervous, they are nervous because they have no decent experience beyond being nervous about the danger that they have miscalculated in the first place, assess it right and then do it, this sort of nervy unsure treework is where all the accidents happen..
