    How hard is it to get into forestry thinning? I run a steep slope brush cutting businesses for small land owners and run into alot of overgrowth of "trash trees" in 5 to 10 acres. I have one area that the asian pear tree has taken over tons of land

    • @lauralinn6079
      @lauralinn6079 2 месяца назад

      There are lots of opportunities, and low cost of entry, but because of that there is a lot of competition which drives prices down. There are far fewer mechanized thinners than chainsaw crews, so if you are using mechanized equipment for his brush cutting and it can also handle trees up to around 6-8" then there could be pre-commertial thinning opportunities for if you can do it cheaper than a chainsaw crew.

    I'll just quote what an ecological forester said about your video: "Processors and grapple skidders isn't doing ecological forestry, who can afford or would want to use that heavy expensive equipment on their land, small cable skidders are the biggest machines that should be in the woods, especially when supposedly doing ecological, sustainable forestry."

    • @nnrgforests
      @nnrgforests 5 месяцев назад

      The proof lies in what the forest looks like when the logging is over. We find that forests continue to need thinning even as the trees get larger. At that point, the value of the timber easily supports the use of larger equipment. It's best to use the smallest equipment that can accomplish the job, and operate only during conditions when the ground won't be damaged. If you put us in touch with the ecological forester you quoted, we'll happily continue the conversation with them.

      If the pile is made with Douglas-fir, the bottom logs should last at least five years before rotting and beginning to collapse. The larger the diameter of the logs, the longer they'll last.

The forest here is literally dying and at accelerated pace.. seems only thing anyone cares about is money as profit... I have 1000s of sightings that disturb me and so far i feel the reports i make are ignored!. I see die back everywhere in this region.. species that are very rare disapearing.. the mushroom population is almost GONE!!

  • @kenenisahanna
    @kenenisahanna 2 года назад

    Great stuff from NNRG as usual. Don't listen to the naysayers in the comments - 1) this technique is for non-professionals that don't want to kill themselves thinning their woodlot, of course a professional would use faster methods; 2) plunge cutting is easy and WAY safer than back cutting, though best learned from someone that understands how the saw will behave. I've taught many people in a couple of minutes and watched them do it just fine the first time. The key is entering the cut with the lower front tip of the bar (just like in the video, otherwise it will kick back big time) and knowing that the rotation of the chain will pull the tip into the tree. Also need to be careful not to cut through the hinge. And of course remember that there's WAY more technique to felling than just this. Take a class from NNRG, Extension, or a landowner co-op.

    That was not an open face facecut. ( and if it were , you don't use stumpshot) you cut all of your hinge wood and bore & back cutting conifers is ridiculous, more so on non hard leans, and even more on small diameter trees. You should not be instructing anyone.

    @brentoru-craig7143 2 года назад

    Great video! Seems to me that between the bore cut and the position of the wedges, this method poses an increased risk of kickback. I'm genuinely curious if this extra risk is worth considering or if it is negligible.

    • @awheel
      @awheel 2 года назад

      Practice bore cutting. Put a slight amount of “twist” on the saw while you bore and there will be no issues with kickback. Ask someone who is experienced to show you. Know where the tip is at all times.

  • @SeaPro360
    @SeaPro360 2 года назад

    I sure didn't see much hinge wood left over. No hinge wood = no direction control. Leave 10% diameter. The ONLY purpose of cutting that way is so that you can precisely cut the hinge to prevent the barber chair. May as well do it right.

    @braxtonclimberson4944 2 года назад

    Most people can’t even start the saw now you expect them to make a plunge cut safely? I wouldn’t teach a newbie this unless they are skilled with a saw. I cut trees with my mentor, 30 year veteran, for years before I learned this from someone else. Most of the time it’s not necessary unless your dealing with questionable wood that’s weak like poplar, or willow. New people are likely to cut your hinge like how this feller almost did in what looks like a black cherry tree. A better way to make a bore cut is to bore deeper into the tree ,then!, cut to your hinge wood. Can’t always cover everything but overall good video.
