Thanks, It was a top clip with very excellent information.But like jlm993 I have always been told to do the back cut at least a couple of inched above the apex of the notch. Thanks.
@prujoe Yes, it did work but with a higher back it helps protect you when things don’t go to plot. Have you ever felled a tree?
@jlm993 I agree apart from controlling the direction, a higher back on the hinge helps protect you when things don,t go to plot. And that can happen to the most experienced
Thank you for reminding of the basics before a huge cut!
ah i see ur problem.you need to get yourself a stilh
Probably the best instructional vid I’ve seen for felling – thanks! How do you handle the case where you’ve got a lot with many trees – and cutting one nearly always hits another? That’s my challenge – getting trees down without getting hung up.
I’ve got a tree about this size in my back garden… I’m gona take it down myself, I’m 22, and 13stone, 5’10.. DO you reckon if it lands on me it would kill me or could i lift it off me if it fell on me? I’m quite strong also.
Was going to take down an oak that has died, but after researching what is required to safely achieve this…I reckon I spend the money to have a professional take it down for me. Thanks for the safety video, very informative but I do not trust myself due to my immaturity.
4:07 thats what she said
Dude… Just cut down the tree.
I know nothing about trees, but couldnt he have eliminated the need for hammering a wedge by making a slightly larger notch? and also perhaps cutting just a small bit higher from the back?
cool – thanks for being so thorough!
Well done This allowed me to take down a few smaller trees for practice. Then on to the larger ones about 2 ft thick and more hard placement in and around my barn and finally the house. This 7 step example saved me TIME and MONEYThanks…
Holy Moley…i’d have that tree and about 20 others down by now…all safely!
Wow, fantastic job
@tobeaSEAL but that is with a axe I don’t know about chainsaws
@jlm993 The back cut is always higher than the face cut or you cant know for sure where it is going to fall
I work for the U.S. jungle Service and this is exactly how we are qualified in tree felling. It’s right on target. But, never attempt this without really going through REAL training with a professional sawyer.
if he saw us, how we cut down the trees, he would go nuts… :0
what model Husqvarna is that and what size bar? sounds mean. and I see you ordered the entire line of Husqvarna safety gear, nice!

Fantastic Instruction video..
Not terrible at the time. I guess it cuts the nerves. More like a dull pain in anticipation of that night. Then it hurts terrible enough I never want it to happen again.
how terrible did that hurt
Now I know how to cut a tree.
