    The timing of ‘just wait a minute for it to fall’ and seeing it fall was perfect.
    I was expecting him to go back in to cut more, while being anxious it would kick back when falling.
    Definitely master at work.

    I can tell these are hard trees for you to work with and I'm referring to it being emotionally hard .
    Just remember that he knew you would be the best one to step up and take his spot .
    I work as a wild land fire fighter as a Sawyer and puller and your videos in the past with certain people up to your present videos of just yourself have been in valuable to me for my life of work and as well as outside of work as I enjoy free work so much to the point that it's a hobby.
    I appreciate what you do and the obvious Love you have for the work because your videos show that .
    You are very adamant about making sure you're S.A. is always 100% ,that you make it well known of all possible dangers and how to safely complete the job and overall your integrity for everything is on par .
    Can't thank you enough for the invaluable knowledge I have gained and the countless other people who feel the same.
    Keep up the good work bub and always remember he is looking down on you proud as ever

    I had a co-dominant ash tree I cut last year. Didn't know how to cut it but i cut into one of them and pinched my bar and ended up cutting the other one with my other saw and had to do my 1st plunge cut into it and was completely rotten inside but got lucky that it fell where I had it aimed and then cut the other tree and was able to open it up enough to get my bar out and fell it. Your video a few years back on 7 ways to cut a tree helped me out that day. But thankfully I fell them in an open yard far away from a house

    After having broken half my cheap wedges at a job yesterday, the next tree I fell (co-dominant or not) will be done with the 4 new wedges I just ordered from sappy supplies!
    Just started the video! Can't wait to see how it turns out. I warn you - I will be silently judging. 🙂
    I see you're using the 395. I like it. Also, I'm a tiny bit jealous.

    @em4703 5 місяців тому +1

    I'm not an arborist, but fall and cut my own firewood (a bit of chainsaw milling too if the tree is worth it). In this situations I just prefer to do a longitudinal cut between the stems (obviously not exactly down the middle in all the trunk 😆), and just fell them individually after that, unless the union/crown was relatively simple like in this case. I've fell co-dominants like this with 3-5 trees in them for example (I know you in US do this too and its a regular thing with 2nd gen growths and the technique is identical), and in that case you got no other choice than to cut between them to separate at least in 2 pieces, sometimes even 1 by 1 if its some crazy clump.
    I don't know if you have hornbeam in Oregon, but here in Romania we got some crazy 10-15 tree trunks grown from old cuts. The ones grown from trees felled 60-100 years ago are wild, 5-8 feet thick or more (it grows very irregularly, sometimes twice as thick in one direction). Those are some fun ones to take down 🤣But I'm an outlier, most people here don't bother cutting the giants, too much hassle when so many smaller trees are more accessible and they don't require heavy lifting and a big chainsaw.

    Man, i have done fell quite a few co dominants, doug firs, maples, spruces, oregon oak, ... in my opinion, id have sent the climber up the maple in this video,limb/ top it, rig down some of it.? At least un limb lock it and than cut the stems fall the teunk etc. .. what with all that limb lock action, but then again, im not there to look at it in person. But hey good work my guy. Good humbolt.

    Great explanation Jacob! That’s definitely a huge maple! We’re from the same town man! I believe the term co-dominant or co-dom means it’s two tops fighting for dominance to be the main top. Excellent video!!! Hope to see ya around. That smell of sewage reminds me of doing cottonwood and yellow poplars 🤢🤮😮‍💨
