Not all dead trees should be removed, some are great for wildlife and habitat. Unfortunately, here in northern california…we have some locations that are covered in dead trees. From drought and wildfire.

It's not even the power that impresses me the most, it's the accuracy - hitting the exact same spot dozens of times in a row... elite-athelete-level movement control.
Not really all that my guy. Elects athlete control is a bit much. I started splitting wood when I was 12 and remember being that impressed that my dad never missed a swing but by the time I was 18 after a few seasons of splitting I wasn’t missing a swing either. Just practice and muscle memory
@@Ragin__CajunThat's splitting wood and not doing down a huge tree with an axe. Different muscle memory there.
@@walterkoziol3822 it’s literally the same concept. Just sideways my guy. the guy said it’s the accuracy that’s impressive not the power
@@Ragin__Cajun who asked
@@arctiax9916 and who are you?
For those wondering what axe he is using, it is the ECHO HA-1363 3.5 lb. felling axe with 36 in. handle.
That base was so punk. I'd expect a family of mice and an army of ants to jump out while cutting it up. Maybe even the first recorded wood pecker attack.
Scariest type to cut down. 😅 snags are no joke
@@ThorenBradleyEspecially because you don’t know if that heart is hollow. Damn thing can fall at any time
@@ciaranwalsh2131 what type of question is that lmao
@@tiinan375 hahahahaha
@etholmes9097 he deleted the question, what was it?
Took my first tree down with an axe the other day! Wasn't nearly as big but it definitely gave me a lot of respect for what you do. I was so out of breath! I cant even imagine how you felt after this 😳
That's it? I took down a tree.. and my neighbor's fence!
@@mitchellgardner2193 hell yeah! Two birds, one stone! 😂
If you know a lineman, see if he'll let you try his climbing gear out, i have a lot of respect for anyone that can do it.
@charizard4410 I'm actually a tree climber/ arborist, so I've got all my own gear. People definitely should try it out though! This was just my first time taking down a tree with an axe, and it was awesome!
@@chrisvail94 I dated a girl 20+ years ago, i found a pair of climbing spikes in her dad's house, asked if i could have them.. she said sure idc, found out how much they cost years later, i'm sure he was pissed. 😂
Only people who have chopped a tree down themselves can understand how truly magnificent his work is.
This man inspires me to be a better person god bless you Thoren
watching a dude chop down a dead tree inspires you? boy.... you are weak.
Why though... ?
If someone can't understand why another person has inspired you to be a better person, they've been dulled by society. That's a personal journey with ones own soul.
@@KevinMartin-kz4hiwhat des cursing have to do with anything. They aren't even real bad words
@@KevinMartin-kz4hiHe is in good health and works hard. That might be it
I’m really liking, how his hand is always repositioning while he’s about swing the axe forward, idk if it’s to do with more momentum or force being put into its swing, but that is neat!
same concept with a sledge hammer more leverage for the blow
@@letterslayer7814 understandable
@@letterslayer7814 And a pickaxe! I know it has the word axe in it, but it's a completely different tool, so it's worth mentioning.
This the kind of work that makes you feel 55 when your 35 lol

I can see the number of subscribers increasing day by day 😮
Slow rolling. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Nice to see some old fashioned work
You should do more of these! Super entertaining and fun to watch! Keep up the good work man!!
Awesome videos i love watching ya. Learned a few new ways to chop wood thats for sure.
Nice record! This video makes me feel again like having the enjoyment of splitting chunks and cutting trees back home!! Thank you, cool entertainment. I really appreciate that you wore a helmet - saftey first in all types of craftsmanship.
Such a good feeling to make a tree fall just by hand and body power!! ❤
Hey man just one question, do you do some specific exercise to counterbalance the fact that you always chop from one side ? Doesnt it give you some king of muscular imbalance? Thanks. And awesome video!
You personality and dressing sense is just awesome 👌
You know your swings have power behind them when it sounds more like a shotgun being fired than an axe swing.
Hey, a quick tip from my grandfather:
Use a rough sandpaper to grind off the coating on the axe handle. That way you will never get blisters on your hands again.
Would that mean your hands wouldn't get blisters on natural untouched wood as opposed to a treated handle? or what way does your grandfather mean?
Thanks
@@NewHandle_Basically yes, but even untreated wood can give you blisters, it just shifts easier than a varnished handle. A true craftsman doesn't put varnish on the handle, just oil to preserve the wood
"I got blisters on me fingers!"
trueeeee
Or you can wear gloves......
Your wife better be filming all those smiles..😁 and listening to that tree tweak is pretty amazing.. if you were very ugly Thoren, you'd still be as special as you are.👏👏 Keep chopping it's freaking amazing. Your precision is borderline godlike
This was a wildly kind an awesome comment to get. Dang
You're a Bad Ass Dude keep the videos coming this is very Awesome work you Do .I'll keep watching . You're like Super Human you ever done one of those Competitions on TV shows ? Because I bet you'd definitely Kick Some Righteous Ass if you Did .
"This is going to take a minute" four and a half, exactly. 😂
I grew up on a small farm with my grandpap... we cut wood every fall, prepping for the winter... nothing easy about swinging an axe... Dude is a BEAST !!!
Your accuracy is amazing!
Buddy, former timber faller here. I love what your doing but that thing is full of widowmakers. One of our skidder operators was almost killed by one like that. Top broke and came down through the cab. It pinned him through his hips. It paralyzed him. Everyone gets hurt out there at some point. Stay safe out there.
The accuracy of this holy man is surreal
i usually watch cycling all the time but they show so much non-racing moments now it's boring - and now i've found you - THIS DESERVES a racing category
There are lumberjack competitions that have a bunch of cool stuff, including races
Nice! Just watched this with my son, looked at me funny when you said “notched the fuck outta that thing”
Damn dude. 😂 i’m sorry.
@@ThorenBradley haha, no worries bro, he’s heard worse outta my mouth trust me
Excellent job!!
Have you done a video explaining you personal favorite axes and different style axes you use for different jobs
Buen trabajo, saludos desde España 😊🇪🇸
I gotta know how long that took! You sir are a beast!
Hey Thoren, I'm new here and I just immediately had this question when I saw your shorts.
Do people in your line of work usually end up having arthritis or some form of medical problem with their hands? If yes are there things you do to protect yourselves from this?
This was amazing man!
Yeeeeee man you are great keep moving 🌋🌋🌋
the spitting on the hand before he starts plowing his tool into sweet mother nature. I.... am.... dead 🤣🤣🤣
❤ that was simply awesome
Bro, that precision. 🤨Also how do you get to chop wood all day? Do you just own property that has enough trees to keep up with you?
I've joked about you being Paul Bunyan, but I do imagine you could take out a small forest at this rate...
gd bless* dawg give glory to the creator. thanks for the vid, love the art.
Thought it would take a lot longer, thanks for the info.
I was able to find a Brady and a W B & Co. broad axe not too long ago. I was wondering if you had any interest in antique axes. Not looking to sell just asking. I just recently found your channel. The W B & Co looks to still have quite a bit of tool steel on the edge, and it looks to be hammer forged on.
That hard of a workout, real man workout, you’ll need back strap steaks and purple hull peas for lunch with sweet tea. At least down south.
got a link for that axe? I bought a pretty good semi-cheap one recently and I've been enjoying exercising/chopping small trees around my cabin with it. wouldn't mind leveling up at some point
You good bro? Been a minute!
Really impressive accuracy!
Question for you. Why do you start your split in the middle like that? Why not chunk out the side and work your way around then split the middle? I'm just curious.
the accuracy is insane
That was scary as hell. Impressive thoug
Such a cool dude!! :o) xx
Nice one bro super impressive
YOUR FIT !!!! 👌GOOD JOB.
Bro didn’t even know how to put that hard hat on at first 😂
Australian iron bark enters the competition.
My biggest respect 👊
Some deadly grip strength right their.
*there
i tried doing this with a small peach tree and couldn't even put a notch it it this guy makes it look real easy
🔥🔥🔥 Impressive 💯✅
The man should be in mlb. Imagine the line drives
Great video. The brand of the axe?
Hey Thoren! Where did you get the lid with that particular chin strap?
New to your channel here
Are you a lumberjack or it's just your hobby? I'm just curious cause I'd be interested to work at a job like that but definitely abroad
What country can I check and what are the requirements?
Felled 100+ trees. That dry rotation is terrifying.
Man where do you get those pants and do they come with suspender buttons?
I want to come and be trained by this man.
don't worry about being this dude. diet, work out and be consistent is what you have to do. this guy here makes thirst video for the ladies
@@iceman-ko6xi bro, I don't care about that. I want to split a log in one swing instead of 90.
u mean manhandled by this guy 😂😂
I live rural, and spend a LOT travelling to and from the gym 6 days a week...
I have a ton of pine on my land... Im seriously considering adding some axe work, both chopping and splitting to my training regimen.... its free, it gets me firewood, and clears my land to build more trails.
Hi, good video!
Can someone tell me which axe this is?
This is what a real man looks like
Hey @Thorenbradley do you mind sharing your hair product / routine? I’m pretty bad at styling my hair and would need some advice :) Much love from Germany 🇩🇪
This guy is the real Paul Bunion
Looks easy... until you do one yourself.. this dude is strong!
What axe and splitter do you use ?
It is great!😊
Bros a legend 💪
I'm just here for the masculine pulchritude...
The camera man never dies
Minecraft Steve is a living legend then
That was badass
Man I love being in the bush.
Hey Woody what brand are your suspenders? They look stylish.
BTW cool way to use your “daily tasks” as a full bodyworkout. Timber!!
If id walk through that forest, id run because it sounds like a warzone
Remember dense forests? From what I see they’re all gone it looks like all the trees are dead or dying
You got bit by the bug my friend. The chordwood bug. Soon you're gonna be looking for any excuse to swing and cut stuff with your axe.
Been there , done that. Cut trees down when we were 14 with axes.
Since I was a kiddo I always had this weird “fetish” to take down a tree with nothing else then but a axe. Weirdly a thing that I think every man should experience! I’m glad I’m not the only weird one :))
go to home depot. get an axe. walk into the woods and whack a tree down. complete your dream. not that hard
@@iceman-ko6xi don't think you can just knock down a random tree and not get in trouble
Not easily, at least
I dont like when kiddo and fetish are used in the same sentence.
@@sergeantbigmac that's hilarious
@@iceman-ko6xioooh big tough man being a keyboard warrior
this will be an odd question but were u get ur suspenders
I don’t think the Lorax likes him lol
2 questions Where does this man live and can I move there to do this stuff
That’s a hard ass tree. I’ve cut many like that with a chainsaw. Center, or heart, of that conifer is great for fire starting (fatwood).
I'm still trying to figure out how you do this without gloves...
Does “wild nothing” mean something different in this context (other than the band) ?
Imagine this guy swinging a base ball bat
Did you put an a fresh black shirt just for this video?
I have absolutely no idea about this. But when you walk behind it as it falls, isn't there a chance it might slip towards you?
Very unlikely, that wedge he made at the beginning is called a notch cut. Making that wedge at the beginning ensures that the opening of the wedge is where the tree falls. If you look up a notch cut you can find diagrams
@@00Tottr thanks for explaining, I don't mean the danger of the tree falling towards him. What I am asking about is as it falls, of the base may slip Nd hit him
@@jaafarnasrallah2941he doesnt cut right thru the tree it eventually just bends and snaps off
@@jaafarnasrallah2941 like the dude above me said, he never actually cuts all the way through, the tree bends towards the notch and then snaps off when it's near the ground, so the likelihood of it slipping is incredibly low.
Thanks guys, I really like it when someone proves I had something I didn't understand well 🙌🙌🙌
''as safe as we need too..'' then proceeds without safety glasses..
where do you buy them suspenders from ? Love India
Just imagine having this guy Drive wedges for you out cutting Timber
My wife: "Honey what are you watching?"
Me: "Oh nothing... Just some hot ass bro chopping down trees."
Im a man of Axe also cus i cut more than a 6 tons of woods for my old parents every winter,u bro give me inspiration ❤️
That’s what it’s all about. You stay healthy and active and they stay warm! That’s really cool of you
That's a lot of woods. Canada?
@@ThorenBradley
That's the good life,thx man❤️
@@joihgore6173
Actually not canada, during the war of syria we all had to use woods as a warming way
@@rickg5220 That's sad. Especially when my country is implicated in this. And now in UA.
Speaking of wood, it is forbidden in our country because of "laws". Although in the days of my grandfather's youth it was possible. And now only China is allowed to cut down the whole of Siberia. Not people, but slaves here.
What’s you splitting axe?
Super rigorous work like that is amazing for your cardio
what's he say at 3:55 ...'headache' ? -- the new 'timber!!' "HEADACHE!!!!!"
Poor tree. Love the man but love the tree too
You need a Tuatahi axe!
