The good news is this will be so much easier with a sharp chain! As others have noted, you’ll get chips rather than dust and it’ll cut like magic. Definitely a job to commit to and see it through, as there’s no backing out once you’ve started 😊
Thank you Kev! Yes, a sharper chain would have made these trees a lot easier to cut through lol! And absolutely a project where there's no turning back once you're into it!
Definitely get some protective wear as others have suggested Meg. You will believe how fast that saw can kick and attempt to remove one of your limbs. Still the determined learner as always though. Keep up the great work. Since that chain was over heated I would suggest to just replace it too.
Thank you Jeremy! I was definitely nervous using the chainsaw but after watching Mike and many of my friends use them on all our camp trips with ease, I figured it was time to learn lol! I will definitely be replacing that chain and will keep practicing when the opportunity arises. 😊
@@Meg.August Watching and being shown how are different. Folks with lots of experience make the most difficult things look easy. Not SO easy when you try yourself though. Things worked out in the end and you learned by it, all good in this case.
Always a great day when no one gets hurt !!! Great job Miss Meg !! You are getting good on the backhoe !!! Please continue to be safe and God bless you and your family !!! Eddy
Phewf! Yes, honestly there were many things done wrong, but I learned a ton and just need some more practice. Definitely feeling more confident with the International each time I use it! Hope you and your family have a wonderful week thank you for the support, Eddy!
You are so courageous Meg, pushing through your fear. I'm proud of your efforts. Thanks for sharing. Successfully pushing through fear creates confidence next time around. You gott'er done! A+

tree felling is like most things it is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced to be good at it.. you did what was needed and got the results you wanted well done !
Thank you so much lol I absolutely need way more practice at this (and a sharper chain) but I'm really happy I gave it a go and got it done. Always more to learn!
Meg, I just found your channel on the one using John Deere cutting the field. For beginners, I always recommend use a can of spray paint to mark where your cuts should be. Then make your horizontal cut FIRST. This gives you a better visual of the point you want your angle cut to meet it. Then do your back cut. It is extremely dangerous to use the top side of the bar to make any cuts. Consider the force due to rotation. When cutting with the bottom of the bar the saw tends to pull away from you. When cutting with the top it tends to come back at you. The chain brake is designed for cutting with the bottom of the bar, as if the saw binds up, your hand will pretty much automatically hit the brake. You had the right plan, just a bit weak on the application. But you go girl, you got it done.
Well maiantained tools ie., chainsaw and backhoe, make the job so much easier. Spare chains and a chain file woul dhave helped tremendously. Congrats on getting the job done anyways.
Thanks so much! Honestly I thought I had a new chain in the truck, but it must still be packed away somewhere. Glad I got the job done but man a new chain would have been a lot better lol
That was terrifying!! A blunt saw, no face mask, no chain saw trousers and a vest on with loads of exposed skin. The only word I could use is STUPID, ohh, and DANGEROUS
Okay, I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't really nervous watching this. Tree falling is no joke and really something you shouldn't do while alone because there are so many things that can go south in a heartbeat. It's not that we don't have faith in your abilities, we do and you've shown it time and time again. The concern is if you get hurt what in the world would be have to look forward to on Saturday morning??????? Proud of you kid, your drive is beyond compare
Aw thank you Rob! There are definitely things I wish I had done better on this one - a sharper chain being one of them, and really figuring out my approach to that hinge cut before cutting... much more practice needed no doubt! Mike was actually doing work inside the trailer while I was doing this project in case anything serious did happen, but thankfully everything was all good. Thanks for looking out and for the support! I hope you're having a great start to your week!
I was kind of cringing watching this. Your chain was way too dull hence the smoke from burning the wood. This overheated and streched the chain. Chain was way too lose on that second tree which is why it came off. You should be getting chips not dust coming off the chain when cutting. That is a good way to judge the need for sharpening. A dull chain makes an already dangerous task even more dangerous. Stay safe!
And most places that sell chain also resharpen your dull chain. Have 4 chains. 2 sharp to use, 2 at the sharpener, rotation. But you just cut down the last dead trees on your lot so I guess you won't need the chainsaw much anymore. Your on a great adventure. Don't get killed and stay out of the emergency room. 🪓💥🔥👍.

When you cut a tree keep your left arm straight and taut. That way you have control of the saw if it kicks back. If you are cutting logs on the ground with a wimp left arm and saw kicks back it will hit you in the head. Stiff arm and you miss your noggin.
@@Meg.August also be very careful and look into the propped way to drop a tree they can twist and other things as they go down and end up on u always have an escape route
Continuously changing the angle , moving the whole saw, speeds up the cut. A flat chain into the cut gets really slow. I make a mark around my cut with the blade first than then continue to follow it. But, those dull teeth really make it tough, especially with dry old dead wood.
Nice job, Meg! Your saw's chain probably needs to be replaced or sharpened, but you used what you had available to you very well. Perhaps you can reuse the logs, in the construction of your home, if they are not badly rotted. I do have a love of the wild west :)
Thank you! Yes definitely could have used a better/newer chain and I did think I had one but it must still be packed away somewhere. The trees I fell are very dead and are best used for firewood to be honest!
Of course, everyone is saying too loose, at 17:32 (see how loose it is ?) . they come off because they are too loose. Its really hard on the chain. They typically have to be set up again with a grinder as they get bends ect that need to be fixed quite often after they fly off like that. . Got to be right. If Mike is up on this, a little training session would be really good. But, first rule, check chain every 10 cuts and re tighten . Especially with new chains. There is a ton more but hopefully mike brings you up on some of this stuff. That chain saw tool should be stuck in your back pocket. Best of luck from a new subscriber. I commend you for taking this on, but, taking down trees is seriously dangerous , wind, and other things make it that way.
Too often I see people not willing to attempt simple tasks, which, as a university professor, saddens and frustrates me. I am also a spinal cord injured quadriplegic since I was 17 (35 years ago) but I still tackle equally as crazy projects as you, with the help I need to do some of the physical aspects. In short, thank you for showing us that amazing people like you exist (along with your partner, Mike). If only you were cuter :)
Hi meg it's Vaughan from Australia again it's a pleasure watching you at work your not afraid to get dirty and work hard that's awesome so keep up the great work 😀
I find it hard to believe that Mike would let her embark on this project without checking the saw and giving her some kind of basic tuition.. Assuming that he is Canadian builder, how could be let a chainsaw get into that condition anyway?
I’ve worked for arborist company 2 years ago now. I’ve learned that never ever use a very dull chain which you’d have to fight with the saw more and can easily get injured. However falling a tree sometimes can be tricky depending on the situation. But for next time I’d 100% buy a new one just for the safety for your self plus making the saw not have to fight more than it should. But overall I’d say you’ve done pretty well knowing what to do. 👌🏼
The UA-cam algorithm finally did some right by guiding me here! 2 mins in and I subscribed! 😊only advice I will give be safe have a first aid kit handy and have fun!
Nice work and happy for your success! However I would strongly recommend ear protection when using a chainsaw. Those things are LOUD and battering your ears can come back to haunt you years later. Eye protection as well, given that chainsaws fling stuff around when you run them. Good luck on your next major land clearing adventure :)
Thank you! Yes, earplugs would have been a good idea, and these glasses I was wearing have actually been really great eye protection - both the chainsaw and the deer like to fling a lot of debris lol Thanks for the support, see you next time!
Dead trees are the most dangerous trees to fell. The wood has lost its plyability, so the hinge is not very strong and frequently will just sheer off. You can practice making cuts on the high stumps you still have left standing. Great videos!
Ok, so I know this is a 4 week old video... and I am sure folks have already said this all... but in case someone missed it or you did... couple of things! 1. Good job stepping out of your comfort zone to learn a new thing!! 2. Chainsaws never give you a second chance, so always respect them.. but do not operate with fear. 3. A dull chain is one of the most dangerous things you can have with a chainsaw. 4. When you take the bar cover off to re-install the chain, the 2 cover nuts do not have to be as tight as you made them, (an "ugga" more than snug)... Also, before you tighten it, you need to tension the chain with the tension screw (which is parallel with the bar, right along side it, just under the cover... you tension the chain with the cover partially on and then tighten the cover nuts.... rule of thumb, chain should be seated "in" the bar all the way around with you being able to pull it down like 1/3" or so and it snaps back.... (too loose a chain being a very dangerous aspect of chainsaws) 5. NEVER run out of bar oil... you will tear a bar up FAST with no oil. 6. You can FOR SURE sharpen your own chain for cheap.. the kit is like $25 and there are tons of UA-cam videos 7. Your little tree was cut in an "ok" spot... I sometimes cut that high to save my back all day... your issue was you needed to cut the big tree first because the limbs from the large tree bound up the little tree as it was very light .... so when it could not fall with the birds mouth, it got held up until the wind pushed it sideways. I am a fan of your channel and I am enjoying watching your adventures!! Keep it up.... ** you do give me fits because sometimes I want to help you through the screen, but I also understand the feeling and need to learn for yourself!!! Kick Butt!! *** I know there are folks that like to run a "slack" chain... so for #4 I may take some heat from the audience.... I don't like a sloppy chain... just the way I was taught is how I typed it out to you and I grew up running Stihls and Huskys and I started on an old iron McCulloch putting up 10cord a year to burn... just my best practice to you, not meant to ruffle feathers. There is WAAAAYYYYY to much nuance to cutting trees with a chainsaw than I have time to type out here... you just need to do what you are doing and get out and do it.
The summertime freckle fest is looking good blondie! My blonde hair has went full white and my skin color? That of a boiled lobster. The price we pay to be so naturally beautiful. lol Been ages since dropping a line. Don’t let the peeps get ya down, the trees are on the ground and nothing got smashed for the most part. Felling a tree is a must for us guys to get our man card, I’ve done it and give you a passing grade! Check it off the list…😊
Hi Megan I'm a handyman and your doing way better than most that never used tools. Watched you build your stairs now watching you fall the 2 dead trees. I also have falling alot of trees and cut firewood for 35 years. Just noticed your are about to cut and your chair is too loose yikes..... It looks like the area you live might be on Vancouver Island. If you like any free help your welcome to call me As you found out falling Trees are scary good idea on using the tractor ok I watch
love your channel, worst thing you could do for your channel is start asking men for advise. It's fun watching you learn as you go, reminds me of all the failures I delt with the first time dealing with any situation I got into. Also, its fun to watch you while thinking in the back of my head 'so this is what it would look like it my wife were try and do some of the things that I do so naturally".
Dead trees require much more care since they break rather than hinge. The lack of hinging also increases the risk of the butt kicking back as it falls.
Hello Meg the video was a bit dangerous. Cutting down a tree requires great respect and the right equipment. I was a bit afraid for her person. Always be careful because something can quickly happen if you make a mistake. But you've done another good job and your plot is slowly taking shape. I wish you continued success and enjoyment and look forward to your next video. Be careful and always trade wisely. Good luck.
Thank you Oli, I appreciate your concern! There are definitely things I could have done better, like using a sharper chain, and really understanding that hinge cut better. I definitely do not want to encourage unsafe practices and being someone that takes on projects that scare me, I always want to be safe in the process. Lots to still learn! Thank you for the support!
Some Pointers. Sharpen chain before beginning. start at 1/4 depth with notch incase you need to adjust. 1/3 max. height of back cut should leave about 1-2 inch step above horizontal cut in notch get wedges and hatchet. sharpen chain. for the love of gee whiz haha keep it up you're kickin butt
You're a real shaker, shaky shaky baby.. 😁 Oh, dammit! That chain is a mess, sharp as a dinner plate... It even smokes!😒 You need to do something about it. Sharp tools are less dangerous than dullies. Aiaiai.., you messed up the hinge..😮 You need to have handy a wedge and a hammer when falling trees, things might go wrong instantly...and take account for the wind. You don't need to engage the brake every time and whenever filling fuel, fill oil too, or you will forget, the chain will run dry and gum up.. Yey, wasn't it easy? 😏 Work in progress, Meg, I still admire your adventure-sness in the projects just like that, with no experience, but you have to begin somewhere. Keep on and stay safe, I bet though a lot of people wants to see more.. I can't wait. 😁 Cheers!
Definitely lots more to learn, but thank you for the encouragement lol! Not an easy task but one that can improve with practice and more research! Thanks for watching and for the support!
HI there meg august I really do appreciate you because you show no fear in the Job àt hand you are doing sometimes you always figure out a way to get it done and I truly appreciate this about your self sweet heart I'm always glad to see when you post a new video clip and to be honest with you I really would appreciate it if you could send me a notification that you are posting a new video clip on UA-cam please It really would make My day If you could do this for me okay thanks again Charles Williams PS please be careful And don't hurte your back and have to have surgery on It the reason I am saying this to you is because I hurt my back 7 years ogo. And I'm still in an wheelchair and I truly doubt that I will ever be able to Walk around normal again In my life what really upsets me is the simple fact that I walked into the hospital to have the surgery on my back and now I am crippled for life because I trusted a doctor to fix my hurt back okay I truly love watching your video clips because you always find a very to get thing's done I'll be honest with you.

Well great uploading of your videos. Certainly enjoying them. You’re getting a load of advice but I also have one for you . Buy 6 super chisels chainsaw chains and always top off your fuel and oil at the same time and also grease the tip of the chainsaw blade. As your sawing the chainsaw needs to struggle and not running at full blast and you need to see the chips coming out as your cutting. Large chip (awesome) small dust (bad). Smoke= more money out the door.
the chain stretches as it gets hotter so may need to be adjusted throughout the day. Also the sharpness is judged by the size of the chips. The teeth a commonly referred to as chisels the bigger the chips the better your chain is. If you are making sawdust you are really dull. You can file the chain a few times with the proper sized file or I use a dremmel tool. Some people file the deapth guages, I just replace the chain after several sharpenings.
Would it not be beneficial to keep a ready made ‘lightning rod’ in place in order to prevent possible lightning strikes to more valuable assets nearby?
Same thing everyone is saying. You were lucky. There is one time when you use the top of the bar, when cutting a log lying on its limbs. You can make an up cut from underneath to cut down to from above. This can be quite tricky though because the trunk on either side can cause the chain to bind and kickback. So stand to the side of the cut when sawing down on a horizontal log. I think you are under special protection from the universe, but girl, you got gumption! eath
Aside from the unnecessary excess heat from cutting with the dull chain, you should never Rev the engine when the brake is on. The centrifugal clutch will be trying to engage, but the brake will be holding the sprocket from spinning; essentially burning up the clutch. It would be similar to easing off the clutch in your car, while holding the brakes, except the clutch in the chainsaw isn't as forgiving. I always have 3 chains at any given time. One on the saw, and at least one sharp chain in reserve. In the long run, it's much cheaper than the damage you can cause from running a dull chain.
Meg the third tree was good. In the cutting - there’s a line on housing of the chainsaw called the “gun sights” google how to use those. They’ll help you aim. The cuts looked good. Start with the undercut using the gun sights and the bottom of the bar. Then the sloping cut. Be sure the corners match up and are clean or you can have a dutchman which is very dangerous. Once you get the face cuts in I wouldn’t walk I’m front of or dilly dally around without watching that tree. For the back cut use the gun sights again - aim and go straight in using the bottom of the bar. Generally, 2” of holding wood, 2” of stumpshot. Face cut a little more than a third of the diameter back cut a little more than a third of the diameter and holding wood rest. I teach forest firefighters how to cut trees..the last one was pretty good. Without the back hoe wedges are a good safety tool. Get one of those into the back cut as soon as viable and you won’t pinch your bar if one ever sits back. When you have a face cut in and start the back cut it’s time to be situationally aware that that tree could fall. Also, I would highly recommend chaps gloves and boots at a minimum. Chainsaw cuts are very nasty.
I believe that youmight need some chainsharpening skills, to save money and keep your chains in top shape. That one was brutally blunt. Absolutely love your channel,though !!
I know you are trying a lot of new stuff out, even when it scares the hell out of you. With this one I was a bit worried because normally, at least over here in the NL, tree falling is done by two or more people in case something goes not the way it should. As others have pointed out the chain saw was very dull which made this job more challenging. At the end … job done! On to the next one! Be careful!
Thank you Roy! A sharper chain would have been the real ticket here, and I honestly thought I had one in the truck, but it must still be packed away somewhere. Mike was in the trailer doing his own work, so although I took this project on on my own, he was around in case anything serious went down. I still have a lot to learn and practice with tree falling!
Do not use that saw till you do some major maintenance, sharpen, clean the bar, clean around the sprocket and make sure the pile is working. A dull chain is a safety hazard. Have it professionally sharpend.
your videos are so relaxing as i shop for 20acres in kansas. i'm not rich so it's land or no land and suburban house. obviously you have to get the land.
Yeah I'm no chainsaw expert but I think butter knife is probably sharper then that blade haha otherwise very nicely done, I've watched a fair few tree felling disaster videos and this didn't look like any of them 👍
Meg, I know it is to late, but that chain is WAY to loose and extremely dull, when it makes powder instead of chips that is a sign it is very dull. You probably do not need a new chain but just a sharpening.
the secret to using a chain saw is to have a sharp blade it will save you time in the long run. It should throw out big chuncks of wood when it is sharp and it is alot safer.have a good one and be safe.
Good job but I feel you needed better protection. Ear protection and full face shield. No bare skin showing to protect the skin and chain saw chaps to prevent losing a leg if the saw kicks back. I’ve had a couple of close calls in my life. Very scary and it happens so fast. Please be careful.
Your Stihl Chainsaw requirements are ! Start with full Tank of Fuel and Full Tank of Oil to keep equal balance of usage on both ! The Chain Oil should last a Tank full of Fuel , depending on the Age of the Chain Saw !
Oha! Die Kette war viel zu locker. Das ist sehr gefährlich! Neben den großen Schrauben gibt es eine kleine zum Spannen der Kette. Videos dazu gibt es genug auf UA-cam. Die Bremse ist nur als Sicherheit gedacht, falls man vom Griff abrutscht. Die Kette sollte laufen, wenn Du sie aus dem Baum ziehst, dann verkanntet sie sich nicht und wird nicht überdehnt. Trotzdem: ich finde es cool, wie Du alles selbst machst! Verletze dich nicht und bleib gesund! Grüße aus Deutschland
I am retired forest ranger and I can see. Chain is so dull, do not spare on chain bar oil. For reason any chainsaw is made and preset in factory with good reason, you can run out gas, but must stay something chainbar oil. Minimum personal protection equipment need when work with chain saw. Gloves, helmet , specially in case when falling dead tree. Eyes and ear protection too before make first cut. And do not wory practice, practice and practice. Face cut, must be between ¼ to maximum ⅓ diameter of tree. Dont go to deep. You loose control if you going too deep.
Before you use the chain saw again please replace the saw chain or get it sharpened ! The chainsaw will spit out small chunk's of of wood in a constant flow when it is cutting correctly . A new chain is not to much or you could order a jig to sharpen the cutting teeth , That way you can extend the life of the chain . Cutting with a dull chain is very dangerous and the cut takes much longer . schmedly
I NEVER make a horizontal cut behind my Wedge cut ! I mostly start up higher and then cut down to the bottom level of the Wedge Cut ! Say , a 45° cut from top to bottom , that way the Tree should fall the way You want it to fall
I was very scary to watch this video. You should use proper protective clothes! That detached saw chain could have hit some one big arteries. So study how to adjust proper tension to chain and few videos how to make safe cuts to the tree. Pls because we want to see more videos from you, so try to stay alive. ♥
Hello M&M’s I immediately thought about “the chainsaw massacre” 😂 when I saw you preparing the saw, why? I don’t know. I always have to laugh when I see you struggling with these dangerous tools, but at the end of the day you always managed to get it done. By the way, with the scarf and the hat you look like a bandit (a little one) indeed. Greetz from The Netherlands.
You are an inspiration to your generation A real go getter not afraid to tackle anything. If you want to get married to an old man I could run the camera for you LOL😅. And I could call 911 if you get yourself hurt. I wouldn't ask but I think I'm in love! I have several John Deeres🙃
A lot of commenters are going to make a lot of criticisms, most of which won't even be correct, but I do have to say that your chain is *very much* in need of sharpening.
The chain was too lose....the cutter teeth are really dull....half full of oil is NOT ENOUGH.... Always fill the oil and fuel together, that keeps you safe. About the cuts.....i always make the horizontal cut first because it seems easiest for me. Have seen so many people do the cuts so many different ways. Does not seem to matter as long as you end up with a good notch and don't cut through your hinge when you make the back cut. You seem to always set your chainsaw down where the tree might hit it. Definitely something to think about and avoid. It is really easy to sharpen the chain and those teeth still have tons of life left in them. Stihl makes a nice new type of sharpener that takes most of the guesswork out of chainsaw sharpening. Just have to order the one that is right for your chain.
That chain was crazy dull from beginning to end. Chain was too loose so it fell off, there should be an adjustment screw. The bar oiler doesn't seem to be working either which is why the chain/sprocket felt hot and the bar has overheating marks on it. None of this is good. Get the oiler fixed/cleaned out.
Please use the right protective equipment when using a chainsaw. Helmet, Gloves and good quality CHAPS Protective pants. That gear will save your life.
I agree, I definitely don't want to promote unsafe practices. Only having two trees to cut down on the entire property, and growing up around men who cut down trees regularly in jeans and sunglasses made me feel like this was totally good enough, although in a perfect world and an unlimited budget, yes, 100% all the safety equipment!
I always pull the chain a little tighter than necessary, because it heats up and stretches during operation, and it does not fall off the rails. Anyway, great job!
The good news is this will be so much easier with a sharp chain! As others have noted, you’ll get chips rather than dust and it’ll cut like magic. Definitely a job to commit to and see it through, as there’s no backing out once you’ve started 😊
Thank you Kev! Yes, a sharper chain would have made these trees a lot easier to cut through lol! And absolutely a project where there's no turning back once you're into it!
Definitely get some protective wear as others have suggested Meg. You will believe how fast that saw can kick and attempt to remove one of your limbs. Still the determined learner as always though. Keep up the great work. Since that chain was over heated I would suggest to just replace it too.
Thank you Jeremy! I was definitely nervous using the chainsaw but after watching Mike and many of my friends use them on all our camp trips with ease, I figured it was time to learn lol! I will definitely be replacing that chain and will keep practicing when the opportunity arises. 😊

Continuously changing the angle , moving the whole saw, speeds up the cut. A flat chain into the cut gets really slow. I make a mark around my cut with the blade first than then continue to follow it. But, those dull teeth really make it tough, especially with dry old dead wood.
@@californiakayaker... Yes, very dangerous cutting with a dull saw. my original comment was very much on the sarcastic side.
Protective clothing, ear defenders, face guard. Please be careful. We don't want a special vlog from the E.R. Stay safe on site
Saw chaps are always a good idea... worth the investment
Thank you for the concern!
Oh yes! This! Please invest in the best protective gear possible and wear it!!
Stihl has some good chainsaw maintenance and treefalling videos on YT; you have just dodged a bullet falling that tree!
Nice job Meg! Your backhoe driving skills have definitely improved!!
Thank you!!! I agree! Definitely feeling more comfortable each time I use the International!
Nice job, Meg! Your saw's chain probably needs to be replaced or sharpened, but you used what you had available to you very well. Perhaps you can reuse the logs, in the construction of your home, if they are not badly rotted. I do have a love of the wild west :)
Thank you! Yes definitely could have used a better/newer chain and I did think I had one but it must still be packed away somewhere. The trees I fell are very dead and are best used for firewood to be honest!
Stay safe and take care Meg and Mike 🤞🏻Have a great day my friends 🌞 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you 🫶🏻
Thank you so much! Hope you're having a great start to your week! Appreciate you!
Simply put. Great Job
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Of course, everyone is saying too loose, at 17:32 (see how loose it is ?) . they come off because they are too loose. Its really hard on the chain. They typically have to be set up again with a grinder as they get bends ect that need to be fixed quite often after they fly off like that. . Got to be right. If Mike is up on this, a little training session would be really good. But, first rule, check chain every 10 cuts and re tighten . Especially with new chains. There is a ton more but hopefully mike brings you up on some of this stuff. That chain saw tool should be stuck in your back pocket. Best of luck from a new subscriber. I commend you for taking this on, but, taking down trees is seriously dangerous , wind, and other things make it that way.
Too often I see people not willing to attempt simple tasks, which, as a university professor, saddens and frustrates me. I am also a spinal cord injured quadriplegic since I was 17 (35 years ago) but I still tackle equally as crazy projects as you, with the help I need to do some of the physical aspects. In short, thank you for showing us that amazing people like you exist (along with your partner, Mike). If only you were cuter :)
Great job cutting the trees down Meg
Thank you! 😊
Hi meg it's Vaughan from Australia again it's a pleasure watching you at work your not afraid to get dirty and work hard that's awesome so keep up the great work 😀
Thank you Vaughan! Appreciate that!
@Meg.August your very welcome my friend
Well done 👍 That '74 International seems to be very helpful in many jobs.
Thanks so much! Yes, the International is definitely growing on me - it has been super helpful!
Rent or borrow a flock of sheep. That will clear your land pretty quick.
really? how bout goats they work just as well?
lol we honestly did consider this (and goats)
@@Meg.August goats will eat poison ivy and brush 2
I find it hard to believe that Mike would let her embark on this project without checking the saw and giving her some kind of basic tuition.. Assuming that he is Canadian builder, how could be let a chainsaw get into that condition anyway?
Great job!Good use of the backhoe.
Thank you!
I’ve worked for arborist company 2 years ago now. I’ve learned that never ever use a very dull chain which you’d have to fight with the saw more and can easily get injured. However falling a tree sometimes can be tricky depending on the situation. But for next time I’d 100% buy a new one just for the safety for your self plus making the saw not have to fight more than it should. But overall I’d say you’ve done pretty well knowing what to do. 👌🏼
Congrats! It still makes me nervous but we have to do it. Stay safe! 😅
The UA-cam algorithm finally did some right by guiding me here! 2 mins in and I subscribed! 😊only advice I will give be safe have a first aid kit handy and have fun!
Thank you so much Tim!! Appreciate the sub and glad you're here!
Nice work and happy for your success! However I would strongly recommend ear protection when using a chainsaw. Those things are LOUD and battering your ears can come back to haunt you years later. Eye protection as well, given that chainsaws fling stuff around when you run them.
Good luck on your next major land clearing adventure :)
Thank you! Yes, earplugs would have been a good idea, and these glasses I was wearing have actually been really great eye protection - both the chainsaw and the deer like to fling a lot of debris lol Thanks for the support, see you next time!
Dead trees are the most dangerous trees to fell. The wood has lost its plyability, so the hinge is not very strong and frequently will just sheer off. You can practice making cuts on the high stumps you still have left standing. Great videos!
Oh my. Glad you got them down safely.
You have a bad chain on your chainsaw.
It was very dull!
Ok, so I know this is a 4 week old video... and I am sure folks have already said this all... but in case someone missed it or you did... couple of things!
1. Good job stepping out of your comfort zone to learn a new thing!!
2. Chainsaws never give you a second chance, so always respect them.. but do not operate with fear.
3. A dull chain is one of the most dangerous things you can have with a chainsaw.
4. When you take the bar cover off to re-install the chain, the 2 cover nuts do not have to be as tight as you made them, (an "ugga" more than snug)... Also, before you tighten it, you need to tension the chain with the tension screw (which is parallel with the bar, right along side it, just under the cover... you tension the chain with the cover partially on and then tighten the cover nuts.... rule of thumb, chain should be seated "in" the bar all the way around with you being able to pull it down like 1/3" or so and it snaps back.... (too loose a chain being a very dangerous aspect of chainsaws)
5. NEVER run out of bar oil... you will tear a bar up FAST with no oil.
6. You can FOR SURE sharpen your own chain for cheap.. the kit is like $25 and there are tons of UA-cam videos
7. Your little tree was cut in an "ok" spot... I sometimes cut that high to save my back all day... your issue was you needed to cut the big tree first because the limbs from the large tree bound up the little tree as it was very light .... so when it could not fall with the birds mouth, it got held up until the wind pushed it sideways.
I am a fan of your channel and I am enjoying watching your adventures!! Keep it up....
** you do give me fits because sometimes I want to help you through the screen, but I also understand the feeling and need to learn for yourself!!! Kick Butt!!
*** I know there are folks that like to run a "slack" chain... so for #4 I may take some heat from the audience.... I don't like a sloppy chain... just the way I was taught is how I typed it out to you and I grew up running Stihls and Huskys and I started on an old iron McCulloch putting up 10cord a year to burn... just my best practice to you, not meant to ruffle feathers. There is WAAAAYYYYY to much nuance to cutting trees with a chainsaw than I have time to type out here... you just need to do what you are doing and get out and do it.
Hmmm I duno mate you might be lying to us.....
The summertime freckle fest is looking good blondie! My blonde hair has went full white and my skin color? That of a boiled lobster. The price we pay to be so naturally beautiful. lol
Been ages since dropping a line. Don’t let the peeps get ya down, the trees are on the ground and nothing got smashed for the most part. Felling a tree is a must for us guys to get our man card, I’ve done it and give you a passing grade! Check it off the list…😊
Thank you so much!! I appreciate the passing grade lol! 😊
Glad to see your actually wearing boots
Hi Megan I'm a handyman and your doing way better than most that never used tools. Watched you build your stairs now watching you fall the 2 dead trees. I also have falling alot of trees and cut firewood for 35 years. Just noticed your are about to cut and your chair is too loose yikes..... It looks like the area you live might be on Vancouver Island. If you like any free help your welcome to call me As you found out falling Trees are scary good idea on using the tractor ok I watch
love your channel, worst thing you could do for your channel is start asking men for advise. It's fun watching you learn as you go, reminds me of all the failures I delt with the first time dealing with any situation I got into. Also, its fun to watch you while thinking in the back of my head 'so this is what it would look like it my wife were try and do some of the things that I do so naturally".
Dead trees require much more care since they break rather than hinge. The lack of hinging also increases the risk of the butt kicking back as it falls.
Hello Meg
the video was a bit dangerous. Cutting down a tree requires great respect and the right equipment. I was a bit afraid for her person. Always be careful because something can quickly happen if you make a mistake. But you've done another good job and your plot is slowly taking shape. I wish you continued success and enjoyment and look forward to your next video. Be careful and always trade wisely. Good luck.
Thank you Oli, I appreciate your concern! There are definitely things I could have done better, like using a sharper chain, and really understanding that hinge cut better. I definitely do not want to encourage unsafe practices and being someone that takes on projects that scare me, I always want to be safe in the process. Lots to still learn! Thank you for the support!
Don’t hurt yourself though when you’re doing it thanks for sharing
Thank you!
@@Meg.August you’re welcome I like watching your videos

Some Pointers.
Sharpen chain before beginning.
start at 1/4 depth with notch incase you need to adjust. 1/3 max.
height of back cut should leave about 1-2 inch step above horizontal cut in notch
get wedges and hatchet.
sharpen chain. for the love of gee whiz haha
keep it up you're kickin butt
You're a real shaker, shaky shaky baby.. 😁 Oh, dammit! That chain is a mess, sharp as a dinner plate... It even smokes!😒 You need to do something about it. Sharp tools are less dangerous than dullies. Aiaiai.., you messed up the hinge..😮 You need to have handy a wedge and a hammer when falling trees, things might go wrong instantly...and take account for the wind. You don't need to engage the brake every time and whenever filling fuel, fill oil too, or you will forget, the chain will run dry and gum up.. Yey, wasn't it easy? 😏
Work in progress, Meg, I still admire your adventure-sness in the projects just like that, with no experience, but you have to begin somewhere. Keep on and stay safe, I bet though a lot of people wants to see more.. I can't wait. 😁 Cheers!
Definitely lots more to learn, but thank you for the encouragement lol! Not an easy task but one that can improve with practice and more research! Thanks for watching and for the support!
Why does everyone keep saying "falling trees"? It is FELLING the tree.
@@Rickbearcat Sorry, man, I'm a slavic descendent, not good enough with english language.. 😔
😂 I really like how you motivate yourself girl
HI there meg august I really do appreciate you because you show no fear in the Job àt hand you are doing sometimes you always figure out a way to get it done and I truly appreciate this about your self sweet heart I'm always glad to see when you post a new video clip and to be honest with you I really would appreciate it if you could send me a notification that you are posting a new video clip on UA-cam please It really would make My day If you could do this for me okay thanks again Charles Williams PS please be careful And don't hurte your back and have to have surgery on It the reason I am saying this to you is because I hurt my back 7 years ogo. And I'm still in an wheelchair and I truly doubt that I will ever be able to Walk around normal again In my life what really upsets me is the simple fact that I walked into the hospital to have the surgery on my back and now I am crippled for life because I trusted a doctor to fix my hurt back okay I truly love watching your video clips because you always find a very to get thing's done I'll be honest with you.

Well great uploading of your videos. Certainly enjoying them. You’re getting a load of advice but I also have one for you . Buy 6 super chisels chainsaw chains and always top off your fuel and oil at the same time and also grease the tip of the chainsaw blade. As your sawing the chainsaw needs to struggle and not running at full blast and you need to see the chips coming out as your cutting. Large chip (awesome) small dust (bad). Smoke= more money out the door.
Everything I've heard is that chainsaws are the most dangerous power tool... Glad you made it through using it without losing a limb.
Buckin billy Ray on u tube is ur 1 stop shop for tree felling advice
He is a wild man! 😂
the chain stretches as it gets hotter so may need to be adjusted throughout the day. Also the sharpness is judged by the size of the chips. The teeth a commonly referred to as chisels the bigger the chips the better your chain is. If you are making sawdust you are really dull. You can file the chain a few times with the proper sized file or I use a dremmel tool. Some people file the deapth guages, I just replace the chain after several sharpenings.
Totally true. This chain is beyond cooked and to be honest I did have a new one but I couldn't find it, it must still be packed away!
Wood cutting wedges would be really good. 👍
100% right! I do have one I just had no idea where it was when I did this project - must still be packed away somewhere! lol joys of moving
Would it not be beneficial to keep a ready made ‘lightning rod’ in place in order to prevent possible lightning strikes to more valuable assets nearby?
Same thing everyone is saying. You were lucky. There is one time when you use the top of the bar, when cutting a log lying on its limbs. You can make an up cut from underneath to cut down to from above. This can be quite tricky though because the trunk on either side can cause the chain to bind and kickback. So stand to the side of the cut when sawing down on a horizontal log. I think you are under special protection from the universe, but girl, you got gumption!
eath
Aside from the unnecessary excess heat from cutting with the dull chain, you should never Rev the engine when the brake is on. The centrifugal clutch will be trying to engage, but the brake will be holding the sprocket from spinning; essentially burning up the clutch. It would be similar to easing off the clutch in your car, while holding the brakes, except the clutch in the chainsaw isn't as forgiving. I always have 3 chains at any given time. One on the saw, and at least one sharp chain in reserve. In the long run, it's much cheaper than the damage you can cause from running a dull chain.
I honestly thought I had another chain in my truck lol but it must still be packed away. Definitely could have used it for this project
Meg the third tree was good. In the cutting - there’s a line on housing of the chainsaw called the “gun sights” google how to use those. They’ll help you aim. The cuts looked good. Start with the undercut using the gun sights and the bottom of the bar. Then the sloping cut. Be sure the corners match up and are clean or you can have a dutchman which is very dangerous. Once you get the face cuts in I wouldn’t walk I’m front of or dilly dally around without watching that tree. For the back cut use the gun sights again - aim and go straight in using the bottom of the bar. Generally, 2” of holding wood, 2” of stumpshot. Face cut a little more than a third of the diameter back cut a little more than a third of the diameter and holding wood rest. I teach forest firefighters how to cut trees..the last one was pretty good. Without the back hoe wedges are a good safety tool. Get one of those into the back cut as soon as viable and you won’t pinch your bar if one ever sits back. When you have a face cut in and start the back cut it’s time to be situationally aware that that tree could fall. Also, I would highly recommend chaps gloves and boots at a minimum. Chainsaw cuts are very nasty.
I believe that youmight need some chainsharpening skills, to save money and keep your chains in top shape.
That one was brutally blunt. Absolutely love your channel,though !!
Get that chain sharp! Your saw will thank you.
lol yes, 100%
Great video Meg
Thank you!!
Glad you had success.
Thank you!
I know you are trying a lot of new stuff out, even when it scares the hell out of you. With this one I was a bit worried because normally, at least over here in the NL, tree falling is done by two or more people in case something goes not the way it should. As others have pointed out the chain saw was very dull which made this job more challenging. At the end … job done! On to the next one! Be careful!
Thank you Roy! A sharper chain would have been the real ticket here, and I honestly thought I had one in the truck, but it must still be packed away somewhere. Mike was in the trailer doing his own work, so although I took this project on on my own, he was around in case anything serious went down. I still have a lot to learn and practice with tree falling!
Meg, just dig the tree out using the backhoe. Great video.
you gonna live there in the winter? curious how that RV will handle the cold...
Yes, I'm living in this full time until I the home is built! I too am curious how the RV will handle the cold lol!
Do not use that saw till you do some major maintenance, sharpen, clean the bar, clean around the sprocket and make sure the pile is working. A dull chain is a safety hazard. Have it professionally sharpend.
your videos are so relaxing as i shop for 20acres in kansas. i'm not rich so it's land or no land and suburban house. obviously you have to get the land.
Yeah I'm no chainsaw expert but I think butter knife is probably sharper then that blade haha otherwise very nicely done, I've watched a fair few tree felling disaster videos and this didn't look like any of them 👍
hahaha thank you Danny! Yes, definitely using a sharper chain next time
@@Meg.August I seem to remember This Old Tony did a good video on how to sharpen a chainsaw a year or two back. Might be worth a watch
that tree looks like a black locust if so you really need a sharp blade to accomplish the task. black locust is one of the hardest trees we have
Tuff and hard working young lady but worried she will hurt herself
Meg, I know it is to late, but that chain is WAY to loose and extremely dull, when it makes powder instead of chips that is a sign it is very dull. You probably do not need a new chain but just a sharpening.
the secret to using a chain saw is to have a sharp blade it will save you time in the long run. It should throw out big chuncks of wood when it is sharp and it is alot safer.have a good one and be safe.
Good time to teach yourself how to sharpen a chain, keep the new one as a spare
That's a good idea!
nice job meg catch you next week
Thank you Craig! See you next time!
Good job but I feel you needed better protection. Ear protection and full face shield. No bare skin showing to protect the skin and chain saw chaps to prevent losing a leg if the saw kicks back. I’ve had a couple of close calls in my life. Very scary and it happens so fast. Please be careful.
Thank you for the concern Don!
Your Stihl Chainsaw requirements are ! Start with full Tank of Fuel and Full Tank of Oil to keep equal balance of usage on both ! The Chain Oil should last a Tank full of Fuel , depending on the Age of the Chain Saw !
Oha! Die Kette war viel zu locker. Das ist sehr gefährlich! Neben den großen Schrauben gibt es eine kleine zum Spannen der Kette. Videos dazu gibt es genug auf UA-cam. Die Bremse ist nur als Sicherheit gedacht, falls man vom Griff abrutscht. Die Kette sollte laufen, wenn Du sie aus dem Baum ziehst, dann verkanntet sie sich nicht und wird nicht überdehnt.
Trotzdem: ich finde es cool, wie Du alles selbst machst! Verletze dich nicht und bleib gesund!
Grüße aus Deutschland
I am retired forest ranger and I can see.
Chain is so dull, do not spare on chain bar oil. For reason any chainsaw is made and preset in factory with good reason, you can run out gas, but must stay something chainbar oil.
Minimum personal protection equipment need when work with chain saw.
Gloves, helmet , specially in case when falling dead tree.
Eyes and ear protection too before make first cut.
And do not wory practice, practice and practice.
Face cut, must be between ¼ to maximum ⅓ diameter of tree. Dont go to deep. You loose control if you going too deep.
Before you use the chain saw again please replace the saw chain or get it sharpened ! The chainsaw will spit out small chunk's of of wood in a constant flow when it is cutting correctly . A new chain is not to much or you could order a jig to sharpen the cutting teeth , That way you can extend the life of the chain . Cutting with a dull chain is very dangerous and the cut takes much longer . schmedly
I NEVER make a horizontal cut behind my Wedge cut ! I mostly start up higher and then cut down to the bottom level of the Wedge Cut ! Say , a 45° cut from top to bottom , that way the Tree should fall the way You want it to fall
Ugh this is the most painful shit I've ever seen in my life. You need someone to teach you, or just do it all for you
I was very scary to watch this video. You should use proper protective clothes! That detached saw chain could have hit some one big arteries. So study how to adjust proper tension to chain and few videos how to make safe cuts to the tree. Pls because we want to see more videos from you, so try to stay alive. ♥
what a beautiful woman! Every mans dream girl.❤
You start the saw the same way I do, wich is wrong, we are supposed to start it on the ground with a foot through the loop created by the handle.
lol I was taught this way and told the same thing - but this is by far the easiest way to start it! 😂
Hello M&M’s I immediately thought about “the chainsaw massacre” 😂 when I saw you preparing the saw, why? I don’t know. I always have to laugh when I see you struggling with these dangerous tools, but at the end of the day you always managed to get it done. By the way, with the scarf and the hat you look like a bandit (a little one) indeed. Greetz from The Netherlands.
lol thank you Rob! I'm happy to have learned this, but definitely much more practice needed!
Whoa! That chain is waaay too dull for cutting down trees (or anything else for that matter LOL)
yep, definitely needs to be replaced lol
The entire video I was just thinking it wouldn’t hurt too ask someone with proper knowledge to come out and observe this and teach.
your awesome meg love you oh so much
Thank you! Appreciate the support!
@@Meg.August your so welcome.ill always support you
You are an inspiration to your generation A real go getter not afraid to tackle anything. If you want to get married to an old man I could run the camera for you LOL😅.
And I could call 911 if you get yourself hurt. I wouldn't ask but I think I'm in love! I have several John Deeres🙃
A lot of commenters are going to make a lot of criticisms, most of which won't even be correct, but I do have to say that your chain is *very much* in need of sharpening.
Yes for sure lol, definitely will be replacing this chain
This reminds me of a scene from The Green Mile where Percy didn’t wet the sponge… Your chain really needs to be changed.
Oh no!! That really is an awful scene. And yes, I definitely need a new chain
The chain was too lose....the cutter teeth are really dull....half full of oil is NOT ENOUGH.... Always fill the oil and fuel together, that keeps you safe. About the cuts.....i always make the horizontal cut first because it seems easiest for me. Have seen so many people do the cuts so many different ways. Does not seem to matter as long as you end up with a good notch and don't cut through your hinge when you make the back cut. You seem to always set your chainsaw down where the tree might hit it. Definitely something to think about and avoid. It is really easy to sharpen the chain and those teeth still have tons of life left in them. Stihl makes a nice new type of sharpener that takes most of the guesswork out of chainsaw sharpening. Just have to order the one that is right for your chain.
Why are they "essentially a lightning rod"?
Geez, the plastic sprocket cover only needs to be snug. I only use one hand to tighten mine.
That chain was crazy dull from beginning to end. Chain was too loose so it fell off, there should be an adjustment screw. The bar oiler doesn't seem to be working either which is why the chain/sprocket felt hot and the bar has overheating marks on it. None of this is good. Get the oiler fixed/cleaned out.
You know what chainsaw files is made for that are to sharpen the saw teeth on the chain. So now you know and you can keep you chain sharped.
Please use the right protective equipment when using a chainsaw. Helmet, Gloves and good quality CHAPS Protective pants. That gear will save your life.
I agree, I definitely don't want to promote unsafe practices. Only having two trees to cut down on the entire property, and growing up around men who cut down trees regularly in jeans and sunglasses made me feel like this was totally good enough, although in a perfect world and an unlimited budget, yes, 100% all the safety equipment!
where did you buy your land? what was the process like?
Why do i have an overwelming deside to head outside and sharpen all 8 of my chainsaws lol
I always pull the chain a little tighter than necessary, because it heats up and stretches during operation, and it does not fall off the rails.
Anyway, great job!
Thanks for the tip, that makes sense!
CHAINSAW CHAPS A MUST
Great video 👍🖐️🙏🥰🥰
Thank you very much!
😮 Sharpen or replace that chain! You're going to get hurt using a chain that dull!😢😮
