I do a bit of timber work myself. Not a pro, def not as good as you. But for your last tip of bringing two chainsaws: a cheaper option for your viewers would be bringing a second bar and chain. If your bar gets pinched, turn off the saw, safety brake on, and detach the motor from the pinched bar. Your bar will still be in the tree but the motor will be free. Then put the second bar and chain on, and free your bar. Def agree w you for having two, but this will save your viewers a few bucks and having to maintain two saws. Shared w respect, love your videos.
Chainsaw video. Prayers answered 🙏 It's actually incredible that this thing happened to me for the very first time 5 days ago and I was blessed that some stranger was cutting wood right beside me and he helped me release my stuck chainsaw with his. Amazing content, just in time.
ultimately if one end is unsupported, the weight of the log will pull the gap open and theres no issue like in your demo. if both ends are supported and you cut between, the soon to be 2 pieces will fall in on each other closing the gap. another tip you might already know. if your bar does start to pinch, dont stop. try and keep the chain spinning and pull out. this is the only time i know where pulling out is appropriate. ;)
Wow - that tree was huge! I love the videos, even though I don’t see myself felling trees anytime soon. The new editing and graphics are 💯. Keep ‘em coming.
Buy a second saw and use it. Keeping your old saw as a backup. keep repeating this cycle and you end up with a room full of old saws like we have. LOL!
Good video, will help alot of people for sure. A video I'd like to see from you it felling a tree with only an axe. So many people do it completely wrong, and it would be nice to see a video of how to do it correctly
Hey man, fan here putting all your advice to practice, somewhat related question: What makes Stihl chainsaws the notoriously preferred ones worldwide? Husqvarna follows and after that it is a salad of brands that you rarely see on professionals hands, I have a Hyundai(you can laugh) but I want a Stihl bad and have no idea why.... thoughts? Firm handshake from Uruguay.
If while making your down cut, you can actually watch the gap at the top of it, and you will actually be able to see it just start to close up, thats when I change to step 2 (whichever one seems smart for the situation) , also with a wedge going down in from the top, if you put it in as soon as there is room for it, you dont even need to drive it in, just stuff it by hand, and that will hold all the space you need unless you are cutting dead center of a large tree in an un-supported section. For me I always get it stuck in small pieces, limbwood while I'm cleaning off the canopy, so smaller than the height of tbe bar. A second chainsaw doesnt have to be expensive, I always bring my big saw, and a little saw with me when I'm cutting and you can find small homeowner style saws (35-40 cc, 16" bar) for dirt cheap, and while you wouldnt want to buck with it all day, its great to limb with vs the heavy saw, and it will do the job to make a cut to relieve pressure in the wood when you get your good saw pinched.
I haven't chainsawed logs for years. I think I recall sawing from the top say 30, 40%, and doing several stripe cuts like that along the log and then rotating the log and then doing the remainder from the top, with the cut strips on the bottom! And I'd also do it like you. Funny thing is after so many years (10?!) I've got some long logs to do.
Last good advice i got for cutting up logs was to do all the 30% cuts from above, then roll the log with your Fällheber (don't know the english word for that tool) and then complete the cuts. This way you only need to roll the log once and you don't risk to sink your chain in the ground. Of course that works only with rollable logs.
It just came into my Mind... What do you do for living? I mean is youtube your Main income? Or do you sell the wood? What is your Main Business Thoren?
Hey Thoren can you make : day with you or day as lumberjack ? ❤ You are great guy ! I respect you and like you and I like axe and chainsaw from childhood ;) good luck man ! ♥️🫡
Used to work at a saw mill in the debarking department up in northern Quebec. Can confirm even the pros get it pinched. 2 chainsaws (lol sometimes 3) best choice! 🤣

Ok now a chainsaw buying guide.
buy a 500i for big stuff, a 362 for everything else and a 261 if you're making tons of smaller cuts
ultimately if one end is unsupported, the weight of the log will pull the gap open and theres no issue like in your demo. if both ends are supported and you cut between, the soon to be 2 pieces will fall in on each other closing the gap.
another tip you might already know. if your bar does start to pinch, dont stop. try and keep the chain spinning and pull out. this is the only time i know where pulling out is appropriate. ;)
I love to watch you split wood, but hearing the chainsaw brings back memories. Thank you
Helpful tips! Thats a big ass trunk/tree too. Nice work!
That homeowner is going to be SET for awhile

Will do, my man! Thank you

BRO YES!

Super glad there's a red arrow in the thumbnail to point my monkey brain in the right direction.
I’m google-y eyed over that saw
"A giant tree keeping it in place" less than a minute. good.
That's a nice Saw 🪚🪚🪚
Nice cuts! Is that the MS 500i? Did you have your Stihl ported?
Thanks I hope this helps me
Same!
Thanks
I'll keep this in mind if I get a chainsaw, I currently only have handsaws
handsaws are cool af
@@ThorenBradley thanks, I personally use silky saws, they work great and hardly ever get stuck unless they get pinched in a tree

You look like Tom Ellis from Lucifer
It can happen to anyone. My dad has been cutting down trees for almost 60 years. Got his saw stuck badly in a 30 inch thick tree.
whens the new location tour man?!
What type of stove/fireplace do you use to heat your house? Nice video keep it up man.
A vermont castings. But it needs replacing, this year!
@@ThorenBradley Those things are beautiful. Good luck on the replacement bro

A cheaper alternative to bringing a second saw is a spare bar and chain
Certainly. I'm usually always bringing a limbing/climbing saw along. So the investment is probably still worthy
