1 guy working, 9 guys chillin, and 2.5 million guys sittin and criticizing 😂
Guys just want to run saws on fires, their wasn't a real reason to cut it. Happens all the time.
My thoughts exactly :)
Reuben I love that comment. Rofl
Facts
That's right lol
Every group work ever:
1 Guy working
9 Guys chillin
😂
Govt. workers.
After hearing how underpaid these guys are it’s obvious this is a labor of love. Respect
There is one man working and 8 are standing around. Those 8 are overpaid.
My favorite part is the guy who snapped his Pulaski handle using it as a pry bar, You just take your broken tool and go back and stand on the road.
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.
^ this.
Eli Lehmann exactly! Use bridging technique for this, much safer and faster
I'm glad someone here knows what they are talking about!
I was just going to suggest that- but thought there must be someone who has already done so. Just means less wood to cut and less chance of nipping the bar- you can stand further back too!
Far as the downed tree that was leaning....He made a routine 30 sec cut into 5 minutes. all pays the same.
LOL.... you caught him breaking his tool!
I cut timber for 27 years. I've never seen anyone make such a big production bucking a little cedar like that!
Lol, that chain was also throwing dust.
That’s this guy’s whole M.O. He really must work for the Forest Service. They are all into big shot style grandstanding.
@@heydudeyahbro5492 lol not even, homeboy is a contractor. Forest service shot crews would run circles around these guys
The title has me busting out laughing!! Lol talk about being dramatic!
It's how government works.
Yeah I can relate. Trimming for the power company I have done some really dangerous trees especially after a storm. FYI you don't want to start that chain moving when somebody's hands are near the end of it and you got it in the log 👍
Weird how west side of US is on fire and the east side of the US is drowning
Chuckyboi123 and the Midwest is just right
Chuckyboi123 and Alaska is to damn cold for this time of the year. Down in the 30s at night.
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.
nateman10 we're smelling smoke clear down in Nebraska!!
See Newton's third law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Kind of like local government road crews - one guy working, 15 guys "supervising".
Cody is the only qualified sawyer they had.
Yeah, just what I was thinking??????? You get qualified by doing! Not by standing around joking about it!
Peter Quodling and none wearing proper ear protection?
Peter Quodling it's more so that you only need one or two people for certain tasks. Too many just puts lives at risk for no reason
:-D same in Germany
I see this has been up for a while but I just found it...wow, the UA-cam expert-arazzi are out in force on this one. Brutal.
Probably because it's so painful to watch hahahahahaha
Yeah. All wanna be loggers. Actually doing and just flapping your gums are two different things. But this is the age of social media where you can type any bs answer and sound like a stuck up know it all. Its sure getting old
I come here to read the comments every time this video pops up in my recommended tab
Same
"Hey, does anybody know how to re-handle a pulaski?"
"Funny you should ask..."
I felt bad for the guy but it looked like that handle was about 60 degrees from vertical grain orientation. Bending it sideways doomed that handle--straight grain might have done a bit better.
PsychoStuey ok
Too bad there's no metal alternative with acceptable weight and balance, though producing one is probably feasible. Then it could have the exceptional leverage of a halligan bar.
Handles sold at most hardware and home improvement centers are generally of a lower grade with the best going to more knowledgeable buyers. Try ordering from a good logging supplier, Baileys, Madsons, and let them know that you want the best. The orientation of the rings is critical.
Who knows the Pulaski story? Please replie.Its a wonderful story
Thank you Cody & Brad for the videos on your recent deployment. Having been a volunteer FF here in NY for 23 years & working many wildland fires in the Adirondacks it is fascinating to me to see how you do it out west. Great work brothers!
Am I missing something? I didn't see anything that would have concerned me there, nor cause me to even think about a wedge
Coming from a guy that's worked in the tree industry for years, notch the top and just under cut. Keep your saw sharp. Seen too much dust and not enough shavings. Too much wedge work.
That's what I was going to say
@@mathiasholmin7855 what does that do????
Where is your video to show the “correct way” to do this?
Keep the chain sharp! It'll save time in the end, and it's safer. And I'm just a keyboard jockey most of the time.
Yep. A shallow but wide top notch, cut up thru the bottom.
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 👍
Who said it was too dangerous to cut, a band of desk jockeys? We give that shit to the rookies here in BC
No need to wedge. Start the top cut until you feel it start to pinch just slightly, and then bring it from bottom up. 1/4 the time and even easier(those wedges keep bottom cut from opening more.
Hmmm, driving his wedges into the wrong crack.
If you keep the saw sharp the tree wont catch fire when you try and fall it.
:-)
They said it was to dangerous to cut! Cody replied, "Fear not! I have a UA-cam channel!" For a momment there I could see the disappointment when you thought the wood was pinched and then the relief once it broke free. Respect on your chainsaw skills! Stay safe down there!
YOOO your my hero man I watch all your vids! So cool to see you checking out same videos as me.
Thanks!! Much appreciated!
UPNORTHOF60 bb b
Cody"s labb ? that cody?
LMAO... "I have a UA-cam Channel"... classic!
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.
Thank you Mary
Wranglerstar hey how would the tree catch fire like that?
Now that is a job i'd be excited to wake for in the mornings.
dont see anything dangerous there, only if you would lie under it
These are the kind of videos I love. Its great when their are videos when everything goes perfect and you can show exactly how to cut a tree down. But the videos like this when you are showing issues, and ALL the steps you went through to resolve it, this is a video of true value to me. Thank you for sharing this Cody, and thank you too Mrs.W you rock!
Bro I was just watching your video about building a worm bin.
@@macjaxjax2604 haha me too, and now @jamesprigioni has been reaping his usual harvest from now until fall. Good times on the youtubez. Tis the season.
Been there and done that many times. Very dangerous indeed. Not always so lucky to keep the chainsaw from getting bound up by the tree collapsing around 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.
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 :-)
Was it your first day
Not how I’d have done it, but. You didn’t die, so there’s that...
Keith Thorne not how I’d have done your mom, but. You came, so there’s that...
How would you have done it?
Hi Cody. I love your channel. There are special technics to cut logs like that under tension. You cut leaving a triangular shape pointing towards the presireside inside. Then when cutting from below, the log will drop calmly and controlled.
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!
I'll admit to being tense while you were cutting that log under tension. Well handled.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I wasn't tense only because of his 'friend' standing there. Without that friend, that would be a dangerous little trap. I also had to factor in Wrangle. Clearly this was not the first time he has seen and done this. The angle and degree of tension is also pretty shallow. Wrangle is close enough to also assess that split we don't get a sense of until afterwards. Overall, Cody aint going out there to get hurt, or hurt another, but he dropped all his excuses at the junk pile. Now, it's just doing the work.
tbh the wedges were unneeded as well as the top cut could have just came up from the bottom making sure to not be under the log and let gravity keep the saw from being pinched
Zackary Denson the top cut was very well needed so the tree would separate cleanly.
If he would only cut from the bottom, it would eventually break but stay connected by bent wood fibres under VERY high tension.
This way, the physics helps ripping the last fibres that connect the parts apart.
Marco Tedaldi being that it obviously wasnt a cut for anything that needs perfect cuts all of that is a non issue
Nice targets :P
When I was in (I think) 9th grade, we supposed to do a speech about who we admired. One friend chose Dennis Miller ) this was circa 1989/90'. And I chose a smoke jumper. Got few claps/acclaims, but this video took me back. Almost 30 years. Still proud of you (not just 'jumpers, but all you folks ...)
Very satisfying to watch the saw cut through the wood so quickly and cleanly - what pros! Fun to see the road crew standing around and watching!
That saw was dull as hell. Cutting through charcoal has
that effect.
Kid in Orange helmet gets shut down just for trying to help his friend. 5 minute mark. from guy, "I'm using my wedges" LOL
I think he was signaling for him to stop prying the trunk open cause he was "losing" his wedges.
Never seen so many steps for cutting a tree
I cut up thousands of blow down White Pine and Norway log trees. I never used a wedge , when you know what your doing wedges are a waste of time. But you do need a longer bar, so you can reach both sides. This is how i made a living for 36 yrs, felling and bucking up timber.
I applauded at the same time the crew did. Great skills.
Watching that log being cut was painful as all could be.
Pass the aspirin Victor
The only thing that made this difficult was the inexperience of the crew working on it.
BINGO! Bunch Of Amateurs!
Yep, he may be more used to using a Pulaski than a saw but I've seen worse.
No
The only thing Lol? whole family of loggers, cut since i was a kid and your wrong. Thats a razors edge with experience. But cool story.
"Undercut!", the musical.
truly wonderful to watch you work Sir.
Call Guinness! That was the worlds largest Swedish fire torch!!!
When I saw this I said wtf is he doing over playing that log
Right, wedge the the top, cut through the bottom, done
Very skilled and done well, thanks for sharing.
Nice watching a guy enjoying his work...
Used to watch this all the time,something has changed, now it irritates the hell out of me. Probably just me. I am gone.
Ditto
What has changed is that you think you know better than him
Cow muscle Many people do.
my favorite was the chief leaning over the bar as hes cutting. NOT! pretty dangerous
excellent. very professional you guys know what you're doing. worries me though seeing so many hands so close to that chain so often...
That was a nasty problem, solved with great patience and care. Beautifully done.
are you splitting the burned wood so it doesn't potentially set off another fire from burning inside out?
yes.
In an area where it could catch everything else on fire. Had fallen into an unburned area - would have laddered up and caught fire and threatened homes after we had left
I'm surprised you didnt split that log with a giant froe......
???
All it takes is one lightning strike or a flicked cigarette into a pile of dry leaves
Lmao this guy and his wedges god lol
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!!!
Well done fella. I have faced soooo many Danger trees and live chimneys over my falling carreer. Live long bud. Looks to me like you know what to do to go home tonight fella !
Easy cut turned dramatic.
3:50 It's just like any road construction job. One guy working, 8 guys watching.
Thanks for your help on the Jolly Mountain fire I live here in Roslyn and enjoy your videos
These sounds are bringing me back to my CCC days.
That awkward moment when you miss the punch 2 times in a row
Buck that log , boy !
in this line of business every cut is dangerous but I got to hand it to you you sure made that one look mighty mighty dangerous
he was like " I will save you wedge "LOL
Lol. The additude every time he sticks the ax in the wood
You guys ever bring smores?
The applause at 3:50 says it all. Priceless!
How does the fire get started burning from the inside yet the outside looks fine?
I know this is a old comment but in curious also maybe it burns from the roots to inside the tree idk
Bad bad chaser skills right here
“First you get good, then you get fast.”. Basic rule for most skills. Give ‘en a break guys.
And "final" lesson we learn is slower is faster :D
@@em0_tion Correct is faster but not necessarily slower
@@thehungryhunter3454 it's a saying, like from the story about the tortoise vs the rabbit ;)
Agree 100% but you know everyone's a pro at everything on UA-cam . same folks would be completely lost out there .
@@em0_tion Where I’m from, that famous story is known as “the Turtle and the Bunny.” It’s a great lesson about foot races, and what it takes to be a winner. 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.
Nice video Wrangler very professional seems like your granddad taught you alot and i like the old school feeling you bring off i like how you have very little gear and still get job done with every one else i see them wearing all kinds of stuff.
Heres my take on it , if you have a bunch of forestry workers or others, of whom are not willing to take on such a task but willing to fold arms and watch someone who will, with all the possibility of injury or worse , takes pride and carries out that task in a safe manner , I'm on board ! Wranglestar , AWESOME.
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.
Hate to be that guy, but if your saw kicked while that guy was tapping those wedges...yikes
Yeah, pretty much everyone would hate to be that guy.
I was the one doing the video and was about 30 or so feet back and zoomed in. So there was no danger to me. The tree was also on a steep slope which was never shown in the video. Hence the reasoning behind the caution by Cody and the distance I kept.
SOVT exactly and he runs his own sawmill
@@windycurrent you were also making some seriously stupid and ignorant comments from behind the camera... Not sure your input is valuable here, chief.
@@Bouzsi just another green horn that thinks he knows something. I don't know what he considers steep ground is. But that ain't it. Follow me around and I'll show you where the big boys play.
Winter will b over by the time he gets that cut!
Great job!!!
nice work, but a pretty basic cut for an arborist or logger with any time on a saw lol
It was on fire from the inside - most don't deal with that.
Which means you have no idea of its structural integrity, nor if the temperature at any point deep in the log is enough to get very exciting if the saw drags fresh air in. Watching you calm confidence and the smooth teamwork of the crew was a rare pleasure. There is also the fact that you cannot be certain of the ground beneath your feet and ever present risk of voids half full of burning root.
It's only dangerous because your standing on the low side hoping that the cedar with the roots burnt out is going to save you...and sharpen that dam saw
"They Said It Was Too Dangerous To Cut"
Who said that?
Probably the 15 useless people standing around watching
@@michaelgagne5022 3:48
lmao this guys legit the guy you dont hire to cut prune plant anything at ur house
The Forest Service is a joke! This guy was there only “qualified” sawyer.
B. Oppegaard His mama.
As a mill worker, and someone who misses the outdoors.... Ive really thought about looking into this line of work. Ive ran a small barker machine for years and before I turn 40 Id like to get into something more active. Thanks for these videos they are inspiring.
I live on a farm in Saskatchewan with no trees worth cutting at all and I can’t stop watching these videos
You need to understand the physics of the situation. Which part is in tension and what is in compression.
Lol who ever said it was too dangerous knows nothing
it was on fire so no one wanted to cut it.
I would also jump at the opportunity to cut a tree on fire. But the title of the video was pushing it a little too far.
You call that a fire!
gtb, it's not like whoever declined was afraid of burning themselves. A fire inside a tree is dangerous for the same reasons that a rotten tree is dangerous. As an added bonus, the situation may change while a cut is being made.
Excellent viewing and result.... *Well done*
All that fire hardened cedar... bet you'd find some nice pieces. Just keep looking Cody!
They:
Wranglerstar: They said it was too dangerous to cut!
There mamas
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.
Cody- I just got home from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area last weekend. You would have a ball cutting trees there- they had a decent blowdown last year that left lots of large trees like that one laying about!
That was more epic, thrilling, and suspenseful than any movie or video game thats ever been played or viewed.
Why did you think you could get those wedges in there any further? You had already applied a force to them by cutting the underside. Or am I wrong?
can pinch when cutting up - then can't get chainsaw and be very dangerous mrsw
He has no idea of what he is doing.
Should have a wedge cut at the top and final under cut you looked scared not sure of what your doing.
FFS, I buck logs for a living. Just looking at the way the tree is lying, you can tell if it is under pressure downward or up ward. Cut into it from the top and it will show you this by the cut trying to close up. As it closes up, pull the bar out and cut up from the bottom. I guarantee the bottom cut will open up and the log will drop. HOWEVER, if you are dumb enough to drive wedges in from the top, you will open the top cut AND, in the process, close the bottom cut. Do you see how you are using wedges incorrectly and working against yourself???
@@wranglerstar you are wrong. I've made the same cut thousands of times. Compression wood first. Which you did. Then tension wood. There was no need to hold the top cut open . It's going close when you under buck. When you under buck the cut is opening. How is it going to pinch your saw? It can't .
I been in the tree bis for 30 years and never put a wedges on top ..should have just put a box on top and then a under cut been done with it ...
Wedge or box...agreed
I like to see that you always engage the chain breack if you pull the saw out. Many many dont do that. A super simple move that can save you a lot of trouble. Keep save and have a good one!
It's all possible. Experience + Intellect will get the job done. Fabulous demonstration.
A professional logger deals with trees like that every day.
You edited the part were you expanded the top cut after wedging it, did you just stab cut and drive the wedges further?
Thanks,
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.
Great job man.
Ehh whats the wedges for
I hate tell you guys this but I can tell that he is NOT a timber faller. I fell timber for a living. You guys need real training from a timber faller that has worked in the woods for years. That job would have been done in less than a minute. I would like to know who trains you guys.
it's a video done for money by an amateur know-it-all, not!
You got that right I fell trees for 22 years and this is a very easy cut no wedges needed these gov workers don’t know what they are doing
Pathetic wasn't it.
That wedge doesn't do anything anyway in that place.
Simple cut , I've cut all my life, never saw anything so stupid as this.
Simple job handled cleanly. Cool beans boys
Nice job!
