What a hooter! Nice shot brother! I hope all has been well!

Awesome man, that is a huge redwood!!

A little deja vu from back in the days I worked in the woods. Nice tree.

Right on man!!! That’s a toad! What’d it scale out too?

Very nice,that was a big tree

Hey Dan: A good reminder to move out quickly away from the stump.

And a photo of stump at end? Seems like hinge failed...?

Glad you’re ok get to see some more of your videos 👍

There's a time to video and a time to run. You chose wisely, Dan.

But is the jack okay? Lol

Close call!!!

❤

How was the lean of that tree? and I've seen possible fall as healthy back leaning 18inch pine of 57feet tall within 4feet lean. Is that amount of lean fair to overcome using two stacked wedges?

So, you’re running a Husky for falling but a Stihl for limbing? I’d think that would be backwards. 😵

Thanx for sharing !

Thank you for taking the time to make and post this lunchtime chat and all of your videos! Good information here. I’ll check out your schooling videos! How often do you bring out a helper with you? I do remember the guy that got his chaps hit while bucking.

Thanks for the info

Hey buddy of all the saws you’ve run probably a few what is your favorite saw

Unbelievable how thick the bark is. Glad to see you running the 592. It’s a great saw imho

Great video lots of great info there

I'm 75 so I think my time has passed to be a production timber faller. I did spend almost 45 years in the woods and sawmill. Back then I was told that to be a woods worker you needed a size 2 hat and a size 44 coat. I was qualified. My first day in the woods an old timer told me to go at it like I was killing snakes. That served me well, actually. If I was a young guy wanting to get started timber falling, I sure would join Dan's Faller School. Why not learn a bunch of do's and don'ts the easy way?

Always fascinating. Curious: I watch these vids with the huge machines coming in and cutting, limbing, and dropping the trunks in virtually seconds. Do they have an impact on ground fallers such as yourself, or, do they go after a different type of woods, like pulping and such? Appreciate your insight.

nice cut

I know driving trees with other trees is considered a safety violation in many places but do you ever do that instead of jacking? Nice buck you didn’t pull any wood or get pinched with that butt hanging in the air.

Weekend At Bernie’s…perfect comparison 😅

I much enjoy your videos for I am a former heli-logger, having done much work in Northern California. I can relate to many things you have said for my wife is not a Christian. It has been a very rough road for me and my children. I was brought up in false Christian religion and I now reject that for the holy Bible is the end all and the be all, there is nothing else.

According to the book of revelation I very much doubt that America can be fixed. An absolute nightmare for planet earth is just around the corner. The current presidential administration is preparing America for this. Joe Biden had been purposely put in office to ruin this country and to make people angry.

All that was missing was the William Tell Overature(sp)

I agree 100 percent . Great vid hopefully people see it

Nice finally. HOpe you and your family had a great American Independance Day. God Bless America!

I honestly can't imagine how things can improve going forward. $30 trillion in debt. Millions of illegals flooding the country with the housing shortages and health care gaps. We could turn it around, but it would be painful and one person acting alone has no chance. The swamp is too deep. I guess the fireworks show was nice but that's because China makes great fireworks and America prints money to buy them. They seemed kind of hollow to me.

Beautiful. Hope you had a happy Independence Day.

I'm in complete agreement with you,all of our enemies are knowing we are a weak nation now because of our leadership or the lack there of,and here we are at the brink of ww3 and our leadership worried about things that shouldn't even matter vs trying to fix the things that should,it's a sad state that we are in as a nation,I almost believe we are to far gone now,I hope I'm wrong but the future isn't looking to promising to me.

🤙 I know that we can make America great again, with the LORD’s help. Definitely not the satanic garbage that the dparty is pushing. I gained a lot of respect for the rparty when I got to know the platform. It really surprised me when “I’ll never vote democrat again” came out of my mouth. I may be wrong, but I don’t see Jesus anywhere in the dparty. I see Jesus all throughout the rparty though, and that gives me hope for the country. Out of the three people running, none are republican and all are democrats. One just has an r by his name, and has a big mouth.😂

Absolutely correct in your assessment! I like you am absolutely astonished that Biden is the President with the nuclear code & utterly amazed that his wife and family care more about themselves than the welfare of their Country, it is the most selfish thing I have ever witnessed.

Hi Dan: I agree with everything you said. Only God is going to save this country. I believe we living in Romans 1 & 2 times and we under Divine Judgement and country will turn around if its God’s will. Trump is not the answer- God is.

Well said sir couldn’t have said it any better great videos

Here in nova scotia, 90% of it is mechanical. Im a big believer in boots on the ground. I haven't logged full time in 10 years. Being a faller for skidder logging is my background. Im a carpenter now but the once in a while i do clear lots to help excavator operators out for new home builds. Love your channel keep up the good work!

Where's your helper at?

Dan, part of the reason you took that job was for the exercise and figuring out how to stay alive while doing so. You got it all on that tree. Good moves.

Dragging that jack around all day has got to fatigue you. Do you want an ATV close by,??

Very interesting. It “appears” as though there’s many limbs left attached to that stem. Am I mistaken or is that a “normal” thing?

Hi Dan, a question from left field: tongue-and-groove felling technique is getting a lot of attention of late: when would one use that (heavy side leaner?), and is it useful. Any unusual danger with it? Thanks in advance.

Having completed a job like that is the beauty of it. Doing something that is absolutely necessary, and at the same time full of risk to me is the joy of it. Understanding Trees and Saws is exciting. I understand what you say about working with pain. I do it everyday. Sometimes you wonder if you can make it through the Day,and some how you do.Great Video.

Finally someone who says fall in stead of fell. Why do other tree cutting channels use the for word FELLING, OR FELL, which is the past tense of fall.

Hey man I really appreciate this video, so many guys seem to be real cagey about talking about this stuff. Im just a firewood cutter/ land clearing guy myself and i live in the redwoods but mostly cut hardwoods, could you elaborate on the hardwoods adding a danger factor for you?

Thanks Dan!

Perfect.

Dan, great video! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. Wayne @ Wayne's World Garage

Awesome! I like your lunch break chats. I’m looking forward to checking out your school! If you have the time, could you talk about how one might get into tree falling, who you can work for or if you’re more of an independent contractor, and if there is a lot traveling involved? Thanks a lot!!
