As I’m getting older, 32 now with a young family; I am starting to appreciate the need for protecting oneself. An ounce of prevention/safety is worth a pound of cure. Thanks for setting a good example.
Good advice on making several partial cuts before doing the complete cut and rolling it over. I've always done it one at a time, but your way looks more productive.
I can appreciate the trauma kit coming along. Also, great advice. I have a smaller chainsaw and am undertaking a larger tree this week so needed to figure out how to not get stuck. Thank you!
I got a job at a landscaping company. I've got to cut up a downed tree tomorrow. I've never really used a chainsaw before. I'm just going to go for it. I learned a lot from watching. Thank you
I got a lot of work to do.! Yikes!😂 I love my backyard view here in Maine. But I was raised in a big city. And Maine the other half..😊 a 110’ tree fell and a forty foot branch! Lots of destruction! Many many wind storms never seen here. I have work with my hands on this one lol I’m still learning and working hard. Gimme some prayers
Always be learning! That’s what I’m doing. I’ve got a lot of family up in the Main and NH area. In fact my Grandfather who taught me to run a saw was from up there. You’ve got lots of smart people to learn from!
You have the Easy Start on that saw. I have one that has it as well and I find that it works great. I read and hear a lot of negative stuff about them but I guess it's because people try to start them like a normal saw(?).
Yeah. I got reprimanded by the guy from STIHL when he saw me try to start it with a full hard pull after I first got it. Two quick half pulls and it starts every time.
I’ve recently started using my saw more and I use the same trick to avoid the pinch. I also use the trick of using my bar to measure my next cut. Good tips
We've got a bunch of trees down that I'll be cutting up this spring, so I'll be using all the little tricks to get more firewood put away for next winter.
I love the safety gear, in the last video I watched about "how to use a chainsaw" the F'ing guy was literally in shorts and a t-shirt with decksider shoes on. WTAF!!
So this is permaculture and homesteading at a quality that fits nature with an existing /thriving ecosystem and who knows what can become of the harvest/milling.
Thx, very informative. I have some older felled trees that are "soiledl" and partly decomposed underneath - any suggestions for minimizing chain damage after brushing off as much of the soiled material and getting to it? Thx
Any suggestions on a downed tree that is straight and flat on the ground but you can't roll it due to obstacles? In that case i will try to cut it as short as possible and lift it. I thought i saw some lay something on the ground beforehand or notch it at the stump but that is beyond me.
This level of safety prep is kind of a turn-on! Rawrrr 🐯 The macho man lumberjacks posting chainsaw tutorials in tennis shoes, t-shirts & jeans with no ear/eye protection are unwatchable!
Never place your saw on the Pavement. Why? It's something you paid good money for. Get a pad or even A piece of cardboard. Why Scuff up a nice saw if you don't have to.

Yeah...I thought that I invented it...hilarious!
Never thought of using the length of the blade as a measuring tool to get accurate lengths.. pretty sure that's stuck in my head now.
Thank you for starting with PPE and trauma kit.

@@HurricaneHomestead I'm so curious about this feature. Maybe I need to ask my husband to buy me a new chainsaw! :) I hope you feel better.
Good educational video on the use of a chainsaw.
Boutta go cut my trees rn thanks so much💪

It only takes one slip to be called peg leg for the rest of your life.
You learned well ! good job :) Beautiful center in that tree, I wish I had a few like that in my back yard for my mill :)

My Pleasure!
Great video!
I need to learn how to use a chain saw and how to navigate chopping trees so I don’t get hurt . Or die
It helps to work with guys who know what they're doing and will stop you before you do something dumb.
Who else felt a little scared at 9:15 when the blade was coming ward you?
I did.
