Hi, I'm Sarah! My channel is all about nature, art and learning self-sufficiency through all kinds of outdoor skills. It won't be smooth or easy, but I'm looking forward to sharing the challenges of this journey with you.
Nice to see a young woman who is not afraid to tackle this kind of work. But... you should NEVER turn your back on a tree in such a situation where you are in the fall zone... let alone be on your knees during it! You should have been on the other side of the tree where you could keep your eye on it and used the anchor tree to help shied you in the worst case. I think that's the biggest mistake you made as it's the most dangerous to your safety.

Hi Sarah! I recently discovered your videos and i immediately subscribed. I'm very impressed with both your chainsaw ability and even your knot tying. While I've never used a chainsaw before, I'm handy with a tablesaw. The former scares me, as if it's simply a hungry machine that wants to take a bite out of you. Good for you to wear your PPE.

I have cleaned my Tanaka until today because the chain was dull . I wish they still built them so well. I will clean more often now that they sold out. So I probably won’t be able to get quality parts: my science is to flip the bar every time the chain needs sharpening helps to prevent uneven wear

Hi Sara I'm curious about a pice of equipment you used. The type(name) of The pulley/rope grab you used when you had to adjust your rope.. . Loved the vid btw. I used it as proof that that was a better way to bring down a leaning tree close to obstacles.

Love that you showed the tries ... every video on the KZreads, people nail these things first try, every time and chalk it up to awesomeness. Happy to see someone who portrays it like it is in real life. Loved it. Also, not sure why - maybe it's just the way you do it, but why do you tuck your ears into your hat? Not making fun - just, you're a cute bird with skllls, if you're self-conscious - don't be!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video (and all my throwing attempts 😅). LOL, I'm not self conscious, but I do have a tiny head and hate being uncomfortable 😉 most hats are too big for me and rest really uncomfortably behind my ears. Much more comfy to wear them over the ears 😊

Good comprehensive review Sarah! On the old crew, we had one of these, and it was always reliable, rugged, and you didn't have to go into huge debt to own one. I was always behind the Saw, but the Operator said the steering was articulated.

Hello Sarah. Nice video, reminds me of when I was falling trees and driving a cable skidder etc. I was also involved in training bushmen working in New Zealand's Forest industry. I would like to offer a couple observations about what I observed from a safety point of view. 1) the guy falling does a nice job from what I can see, good cuts and wedging, however, he should look up more often when hitting the wedges as things can and do get dislodged and fall down. Hit the wedge look up and repeat. Yes its longer, however, you might see the branch coming down before it gets you. 2) changing the choker opposition to spin the log is a good trick, however you could cut an angle on the stump or the butt of the log to help the log slide past so it doesn't get stuck which leads onto point 3. 3) (around the 25min mark) when bringing the drag into the skidder, the skidder should not be side onto the drag. You can tip a skidder over easy doing it that way. The arch of the skidder should point towards the drag, even if you have to position the skidder on full lock. I almost rolled the skidder first day on the job by not pointing the arch towards the drag. Its also makes it easier the fleet the rope onto the drum without it crossing over and crushing the rope underneath. The is a New Zealand website called Safetree (www.safetree.nz/) which has some training material on most Forestry jobs. Its written for New Zealand Forestry so some terms will be different, however the knowledge, skills and safety tips apply still apply. Search for BPG or Best Practice Guides if you are interested. Thanks for making the videos so I can watch, enjoy yourself and stay safe.

did a lot of tree work in my younger days, the shot line was a big upgrade over tying a sorta monkeys fist in the climbing line and throwing that, although that's mostly still what you do when in the tree.. I always found the softball pitch windup throw (picture the college softball superstar pitchers) with a few inches of line between your fingers on the throwing hand and the shot bag, with a couple loose loops in your non dominant hand that can fair lead off your fingers easily without snagging so the weight can get a good inertial trajectory before it starts pulling line out of the bag. You will find you can get alot more velocity and range with a windup vs the pendulum method.
