    Great video! I’m an old timer and have been burning wood to heat my home for a very long time. That said, when I saw your vid I thought I’d check it out and see if I’ve missed some new tricks to make things easier. As you went through your presentation, I started checking off your suggestions, yep I do that and yep I know that trick and so on. The BIG difference is that my learning curve was much longer than yours and as a young man I substituted brute strength for wisdom and paid for that in later years. I still fall trees and cut all my fire wood and with my old Geezer buddies we even cut for others in our community that can’t anymore. I hope all the young viewers will take heed to all of your tips as it will make firewood processing much more fun and sustainable over the long run. That’s my two cents for what it’s worth and once again, Great 👍 video!

    If you only take one saw to the bush, have an extra bar and chain with you that will fit the saw that you are using. That way if you get the saw bar pinched and can't get it out just undo the pinched bar and put on your extra spare bar and chain to cut out the pinched bar.

    @todddavis240 3 года назад +13

    Really great video! Been cutting 40 years and I think you covered everything. If you make another, I thought of one thing. It helps besides flipping your bar, sanding it with metal sand paper with a palm sander, or wood sandpaper works too but, not for long. You want to take that little rough edge that forms on the very outer edge of your bar track. That can make your saw seem not as sharp because it's not smooth slipping through the cut. And I have to say. The video is really good too, how you did it. The speed is great and your timing and you didn't throw in unnecessary verbage. Excellent!!! ;)
