Perhaps this is a silly question, but why was the sawing necessary? Just to make the job look neat?
I was wondering the same thing...
Statewide ban on motorized chainsaws, he said it at one point in the vid, to much risk of fire
So he had a clean line to work to. If a jobs worth doing n all that.
It's just to get deep enough first, and to make one clean line, so he knows where the top and bottom is, I believe. Also, what a coincidence seeing you here, big fan. I should've known you'd watch these videos too
Wow my two favourite youtuber
So it's been 3 years since the video I wanna see a follow up over the girdled tree
Me 2
I also. Although now it's been 4 years
Me 3
Ya
good point! don't think its there anymore tho...
I need me a girl that treats me like he treats this saw
Any luck yet?
ModernProspector I don’t think so dawg he hasn’t told us anything aye man I hope you find the girl!!
Well you need to be as well made as that saw. If you want to be desired you must be desirable.
Lmao
Why did you have to say this!? 🤣🤣🤣. Can't watch this innocently now
When he accidentally said his wife was his possession I thought to myself:
"This man set out to kill a tree and ended up committing suicide."
Thank God he caught that misspoken sentence in time.
You don't know women! He's still dead! Fist of the North Star reference. "He's already dead!"
My wife IS my possession - Law says so and so does the Bible. Likewise, I am her possession.
Ha ha ha ha ha
@@Kysushanz yea... I don’t think that’s how that works.
@@TheDeadestOfMemes Why do you say "my wife" / "my husband" then? Not taking sides here, just throwing that out there.
When he put the camera under the saw i could feel everything in my eyes
Razorfame :/ lol
I had to go wash my face!!
Me too

Hey this is very useful for me 😂😂 don't judge me I have a lot of trees to get rid of in backyard.

You're like the Bob Ross of killing trees. That was so relaxing.

@yesca jasta best comment ever. I don't know if you were messing with everyone or you just had a brain fart. Still a great comment
theres a happy dead little tree isnt it beautiful?
Time to kill the happy little trees
9:00 impressive seeing someone dig themselves a hole without a shovel
That moment at 9:20 with your wife was incredible. Way to not selectively edit and keeping the joke, and then correcting yourself in a cut. It shows everyone makes mistakes, you don't hide from them but you address them, clarifying. It was a real humanizing moment. Cheers.
He did still categorize his wife as a thing, though. If someone wanted to take the opportunity to be offended, they would still have something to be offended about. I'm not sure there's a way to reword his original comment to completely sanitize it, though.
@@deusexaethera
"Three things that I will always keep solely to myself", if something like that would set off anyone - they're simply looking for something to be offended/picky about.
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
The "thing" thing - that's just a language limitation. In colloquial language "thing" is often used to many things besides OBJECTS - to concepts, abstract ideas, titles - basically everything. Word "wife" could be seen here as a concept/title, not a particular person.
He didn't call her an OBJECT.
Anyway. As I said above - nitpicking. Hammer. Everything is a nail to some people.
Edit: if you REALLY want to "de-offensive-ize" the statement even more, you COULD use "matters" instead of "things", but that would likely sound weird, since most things he mentioned were tools.
People just should stop being offended by BS matters, for their own sanity.
@@deusexaethera If we had to crucify every human that has ever said something stupid or badly thought-out, there would be no humans left.
If you really want someone to lynch, at least target people that say unambiguously malicious and evil things, rather than simply imperfect people.
@@deusexaethera It still jumped off the page as weird to me but I like that he both realized how bad it sounded and rephrased it in a more respectful way (I'm in no way religious but there's a popular religious brand in this part of the world that charges men with protecting their wives -- and yeah depending on your interpretation it's a little less honorable than it could be). Still, clarification was immediate.
I also like that he realized the ribbing he'd get if his wife heard it without the clarification.
Could've just said "don't touch my saws, only thing I'd hurt you over more is my wife" in my local parlance. Similar sensibility with very different wording.
@@alarikmarcus i wondered why he didn’t say something about his child and i realized the video was made 6 yrs ago
I’ve known of this concept since my youth, but I’ve never seen it done. Learning has occurred.
I was told this as a child as well. Some how I thought once you girdle a tree, they die and wither immediately.

It's really cool that he actually uses these old tools rather than just collecting them. Not to say there's anything wrong with collecting old, irreplaceable items, but actually using them for their intended purpose, so long as you take good care of them to ensure they last, is really awesome.
You remind me so much of my grandfather. I have very many fond memories of him. He would always be outside, even in the week before he died. He was a busy body, and he taught me so many things. I miss him dearly. Thank you for your content
in sweden it used to be a somewhat practise to making "fat wood"-logs for the bottom log in houses. but the practise is to no take off the bark all around, you leave a "life line" so it can live on an fill up with protective "juice". there is also one method where you cut off the top. or cut vertical strips(leaving one strip), this is supposedly the best method.
there are examples of public houses commissioning fat wod logs several decades in advance. pretty cool ( i happen to be a fan of swedish log houses btw B-) )
I did this to 1 of the trees in my grandparents house when I was a kid (no I didnt use a saw or anything I just slowly peeled it off overtime) and now I finally understand y it's dying and now I feel bad
I used one of these type of crosscut saws while helping my uncle cut logs for firewood. It was a bit hard to get the swing of using the saw with 2 people in the beginning. That was many years ago.
I wish the history channel made a show about this guy and not the drama-filled Ax Men

Title: How to kill a tree.
MrBeast *screaming ensues*
Lol
Lmao
Slowly and painfully 😁
i and my father own many old tools some of which we use and some we dont, our cross cuts and our double sided axe are among these and while the saws when passed to me will be fully restored the axe will be left and possibly hung. these tools to me are more than wood and metal and are all vessels that tell stories of ages gone by and each deserves to shine as bright as the next
A man that looks after his tools - good stuff! I think we all understood the context of the wife, chainsaw and saw comment 😀
I'd have probably put my kids in that top 3 too lmao. We know what he means though. He'd kill over his family.
So very well done! Appreciate everything about this video. Especially the respect and pride you have for your profession, tools and of course , everything else you’ve been blessed with!
this is my first wranglestar video & all i can say is wow. this is the most beautiful editing, music & scenery. this is the life dream of having.. im only 18 & hopefully have another 70 years to live like this guy, but if i dont ? this editing is so clear & immersive its like im already living it

Wow, with that combination between the music and the tree slowly dying, that was strangely depressing. Haha!
I think the music choice was due to the solemnity of the occasion of a tree dying. But yeah, it was depressing.
I think it's fantastic, TBH
Gooneachi icheanooG wich music is that btw?
I was listening to my local gardening radio this morning and he mentioned tree girdling and I had to educate myself. Excellent video quality and explaination. Thank you so much for your time, I really enjoyed the look same your beautiful saw and your explaination.
I love how casually you saw around that tree in a straight, level line to meet your original cut.
You can tell hes girdled some trees once or twice.
First time viewer, this man is a true Forester. I have spent most of my life in the Cascades 70 miles below Portland Oregon and this man values the forest, and is truly a respectable Forester. To those of you claiming killing trees, and how bad people are, your just plain ignorant.... end of story
lol "let me rephrase that"
This is the way forestry should be done, with respect and love.
lmao what? why?

great video man, don't let the haters get to you, I enjoyed watching the show, people who complain about it being "too long" and actually watch it all then take time to comment to complain about how long it is really have too much time on their hands, I really enjoyed it keep it up
Wow Cody! I just realized how you've been quietly improving your videos, each slightly better than the last. The camera work and editing, the angles and music, you've really put together a fantastic video here! You may not have intended to become a you tuber when you started out but you've certainly become exceedingly good at it! Plus I love the saw! Awesome video!
+snocat I agree. love the video, but noticed the camera work most of all..
Love watching and learning from you old schoolers your like everyone’s dad can’t buy this experience thank you for sharing. Always in my prayers. Respect.
Hello everyone! I tried out this on three big healthy spruces 2 years ago. I cut down the trees last weekend and I must say that this technique is a time and energy savior. First of all, the needles fell off about a year ago, which made the branches light to handle after the tree was cut and trimmed. Second of all, the logs were lighter and ready to be chopped for firewood. However, I will save the axe work for next year.
So, I don't know why I haven't heard of this technique before. But it seems that this method is super sneeky for taking down trees for firewood purposes. I will also try out how this girdling works on trees that I will use for logs/lumber.

Wranglerstar aren't you supposed to use an axe for bark so it doesn't dull your saw?

I figured 64-68 years old since you said the diameter at the start was 16 inches.
I didn't know this could be so professional
These old videos are so enjoyable and therapeutic. Thanks again.
I learned about this as a child.
I was playing in the garden with a newly acquired pen knife which I was very proud of, naturally. I didn't really have a task so I was just cutting leaves and bringing twigs to a point when I thought I'll just mark this bark on a small tree. You see it in films and on old healed over trees so I thought it would be fine.
I cut a ring all the way around a couple of times just to do it and my dad arrived up. He said with a slightly disappointed tone "why did you do that?" to which I replied "DId what, what do you mean?".
He, realising I had no knowledge of the vital biology I had just interrupted, explained that I had just killed the tree.
I felt a bit sceptical at first as it looked fine but I believed him like any child would. Sure enough the small tree died later on. I felt very ashamed of my ignorance and wasteful behaviour but it thought me a lesson about unintended consequences of small personal actions as it pertains to nature and natural resources.
Your saw bag looks exactly like a Canadian forces vhf antenna bag. From the fabric, to the stitching, to the straps
That's typical military canvas, which are very durable. Used in equipment bags and tents. At least that's what I saw in the US Army 20yrs ago.
Best piano intro cut away ever lol was that intentional 😂😂
I really appreciate the consideration Wranglerstar puts into his work and his videos
Cody these last few videos have been favorite of the whole summer. Really looking forward to more of these. Also, are you going to resume work on the timber frame cabin in the future?
+LoadedMod94 I believe he said that timber framing will be a winter project several videos back. I could be wrong though.
Cool, I seem to remember him mentioning it but I wasn't sure.
+LoadedMod94 He said in a video a while back that the timber frame cabin was all in pieces on a trailer during their move and somebody drove off with it. Unless he's started another project I'm not aware of, I think the cabin is gone for good. What a shame.
I know that. He still has half of it.
+Scott Bozarth People are mean
3 1/2 feet? That saw nearly reaches your neck
I really enjoy watching your videos. The music is great, and the information is relevant and interesting. I like the fact that you are such a careful man...you treat your trees and your tools with respect and a gentle touch. Thanks for all the vids you make - we’ve learned a tremendous amount of very valuable information and skills from you!
ahh the first wranglerstar video I ever watched. years later still love the content. keep it up!
You know you are passionate about what you do when you fall in love with your tools
This dude LOVES his tools
Have you seen the video about the cold steel trail boss
It was borderline soft core porn
I like how he didn't even mention his kids when reading off the list of things/people he wouldn't loan to people
I mean, kids do go to school which is handing them off to some stranger for them to educate them
That helper handle is so well worked out it’s so refined simple strong easy to use. Lot of thought gone into it.
This was one of the best random videos I have ever seen. I was completely enthralled the entire time.
No need to apologize, anyone with half a brain will understand what you meant.
enough people sadly would'nt

That's not true. A lot of people on this channel are right wingers. Most of which have below average intelligence, as well as treating their women as possesions

I, for one, do like your video's mr Wranglerstar, whatever people say. Judging by the Likes of your video's a lot of other people do too. And don't do yourself short by calling yourself a layman, I have learned so much about handling and caring for my woodworking tools and craftmanship from your video's, it's priceless!!!!

My mate did this to a pine tree years ago and it seeped pine pitch and healed itself it's still active today.great vid and I'm a big fan of Dave from the pathfinders school a great inspirational bloke too thanks for sharing
This video is beautifully shot and edited and very informative.
Thank you for the humor about your 3 things :-) lol My wife and I had a good lol. Thank you for your videos! God has blessed you very much. We love your family and you. Keep up the good work!
thanks for another great video!
1) never knew what those holes in a cc saw were used for,
2) super funny about the wife comment! good recovery!
3) i feel the same way about trees... i'm guessing most folks won't understand, but as an outdoorsman i feel the same way about all living things - to be treasured, protected, respected and appreciated - and occasionally responsibly harvested.
happy 2016 to all!
that is corect
"I misspoke, let me rephrase that....."
Good save.
Done this for alder control, we used the hand scorps, but the power girdler was a blast!
Just saw the first sign of spring on a tree...
What a releaf
👏..👏..👏
“The saw was detained later that day on charges related to molesting young wood.”
I have a Siberian Elm with sap rot or some type of slow weeping fungus. I built a treehouse in this tree. If I girdle it will it make the tree stable for the structure longer thsn if I let the rot continue?
I enjoyed your music choices for your videos. I helps to convey your passion for your tools and your appreciation for the wild.
I thought he was going to say my wife is a close second to my saw.
Anyone who can’t recognize the risk a dead tree poses is pretty unlikely to comprehend what “Killer Tree” and skull and cross bones means when placed on said dead tree. If you really think a sign is going to help I suggest “Hard Hat Area”. Thanks for explaining to me the benefits of girdling, I really didn’t “get it” until you explained it, and when I first saw the “Killer Tree” tape I assumed it was dipped in poison like the strips that are used to poison gypsy moth caterpillars.
This is the most informative, relaxing and beautifully cinematic video I've ever seen about killing something, music choice is felicitous to boot.
10/10 will watch again!
I accidentally girdled a tree in Alaska when we got a Takeuchi track steer stuck in this mixture of mud/clay that just sucked it in. We strapped a tow strap around a tree and used the bucket on the skidsteer to pull it out. All the twisting on the tree girdled it and forever ruined that row strap because it was then coated with old, sticky sap. Great video
Ha that was funny how he said he owned his wife 😂. I'm glad he caught himself.
It's in the vows. To *HAVE* and to hold. Woman who marry agree to be property. Of course the men agree to also be the womans property too. But none the less.
Wise Beard Man Yea it wasnt meant to be taken too literally. It was just a bit of fun.
However some thing in your comment was interesting and worth exploring i think. You say the right to not be owned is a fundamental human right. I would like to argue that, far to the contrary, the right *to be owned* is infact a fundamental human right. Now i know that sounds crazy but walk through the argument with me and see what you think.
What is ownership? I think a pretty reasonable way to think about it is as a bundle of rights. Other rights can come with it but there are a few core rights one must possess in order to be said to own a thing. The first is the right to alter or change a thing. The second is to give another the right to alter or change that thing. The third is the right to transfer ownership of that thing to another party. This is sort of the general basics of the concept of ownership.
Next I would like to posit as an axiom that the single most fundemental human right above all others is the concept of "self ownership". That is people, above all else, own themselves.
If that definition is reasonable and the axiom posited is true than it logically follows that people are entitled to the right to sell themselves.
Practically speaking we might contrive a scenario where a person would willingly chose to do this and be thankful for the ability to do so. Imagine a scenario where a mothers child is ill with a condition that would require vast resources to cure. Perhaps it is extremely rare and the cure would need to be researched and developed before it could be administered. Perhaps she might sell herself to some billionaire freakazoid in order to raise the vast sums necessary to research the cure to save her child.
Just a fun thought expirment. You don't get a (i like to think) intellectually serious and rigorous pro slavery argument every day. ;)
who else instantly scrolled down to look for SJWs and feminists complaining?
xcvsdxvsx When you write a whole argumentative essay in the comments. Haha! Nice grammar. 🏫
Avah Hammond What grammar mistakes were made? Maybe some small stuff but looking back I think I got all of the important things right. Smaller ideas broken into complete sentences. Larger ideas broken into well formed paragraphs. Of course it wasn't perfect but it wasn't literally an argumentative essay. It was a youtube comment.
Do you have any "after the girdle" videos? Like what it breaks like? How it fell down?
I like your pace and tone in your videos. Comforting and interesting. Really get a feel for your spirit. Keep it up you're as rare as your crosscut saw.
I have the exact same swiss army knife, however I did notice it dulled very quickly. I had only done 2 whittling projects and it was already duller.

While I appreciate the attention to detail and neatness to your whole cut, is it necessary to make a cross cut at all? How wide would it need to be to work and does the width have anything to do with how quickly it dies? I have yet to make a standing stag for firewood but can certainly appreciate the need. Thanks for serving - fire/rescue/EMS.
Man. I had just drifted off when the tones went off. My feet were on the floor and my shorts on before I remembered I don't have a pager anymore that I left the company for a while lol. As always. Great video. Even if I'm late to watching it. A treat as always brother.
I am truly astonished by your passion
Cody, I've mentioned this before but it is becomming more obvious as time goes on. Your videography skills are superb. A movie company might want to pay you big bucks for your skills.
+Scott Jenkins Kind of you to say however, I'm nothing more than an amateur,
+Wranglerstar Please! Gifted Amateur, if you please.
I kind of snickered when you mentioned your three possessions and included your lovely wife. Talk about girdling... But I realize what you were trying to say before you said it.
Nice recovery & lovely video!
jeez! whenever I try to peel off a small bit of bark from a tree, people get really really mad at me and ask me what I would think if I was that tree.. lol
TheTacticalBarrage how do you know trees don't think?
they (trees) don't have a brain. you need a brain to think. I wonder how those people feel about all the grass and weeds they are murdering when they cut their lawn. lol
They actually can, we just dont know how, they know when they have plants around them and can even distinguish them, they kinda live in a society.
Something is true, they dont feel pain or any other animal emotion fisical or psycological including human's
So, how are things in California?
Its amazing how trees are different. Here where I live there is alot of cork. Every decade of so they strip the cork (essentially the bark) of almost the whole tree (minus the the thin branches) and just mark the year so they know when to harvest next. This type of tree just makes a new one. Doesnt die.
I've been experimenting with a modified hack and squirt method using Capstone Aminopyralid & Triclopyr undiluted into bark oil with a syringe . Girdling has variable results on maleleuca, brazilian pepper and Australian pine here in Florida but is still effective if used properly .
Being one of this mans tools seems like such a wonderful life.
Nice save 9:00! I've been told more than once... You may see women for sale on the internet, but they are not possessions! Hahaha! Great stuff as always, thanks!
yea
First video I've seen from you, love the humor and knowledge. Thank you.
I have no idea of wood working or being in the wilderness at all but damn your videos are relaxing and well made! Keep up the good work!
that saw cuts it like butter 😯
Almost as good as a Silky saw !
+Wranglerstar lol, I had that exact thought when you mentioned your wife as one of the top three possessions. Glad you clarified it :D
I'd be curious to know how much "habitat trees" really help reduce the spread of invasive and destructive insects. It seems as though they don't just hang out in one tree, but spread like a virus everywhere they can reach (like the pine beetles).
+Jon Stewart (Vaulimere) I am also curious about this. My wild guess is that habitat trees provide more room for birds and the birds as a result cut back beetles by eating them so much. I do think though that the idea that beetles will just hang out in the one tree is questionable. Seems more likely that the abundance of food there would result in a spike in population that would just go after the other trees that much faster.
+Jon Stewart (Vaulimere) Cody did state 1 fact about this. 1 dedicated tree per 1 acre. If you break that down, that's actually a lot of trees on a small property. I'm unsure as to how much acreage Cody has but, I'm sure, we're only seeing 1 small part of it.
I've noticed that wood dries much faster if you let it dry with the leaves and branches in tact, attached to the trunk. The leaves draw out the moisture from the trunk. This happens much faster than letting the large logs dry out on their own.
So, would you girdle the tree? Or cut it and let it lie on the ground with the branch’s???
I visited a buddy in Alaska and where he lives there's no electricity and there is snow on the ground most of the year. He has to girdle trees so he has enough dry firewood to get through the cold winter. He said he hates having to do it so much that he makes sure to plant as least 50 saplings per girdled tree.
I would like to add another reason for girdling.
Girdled wood tends to last longer. The nutrients are used up, so spores cannot multiply. The tree is less sensitive to sap-stain or mold fungi which will lay the wood to waste.
Fungi can be prevented with using fungicide at the saw mill. Light mildew can be treated. But why not girdle most trees destined for high quality wood like in construction, furniture, instruments, mouldings, etc?
Generally, you increase the quality and durability of the investment at a very low cost.
PS @wranglerstar, what is that piece of music at 6:30?
the shots are so cinematic but it would look better if you picked a focus point and left off the auto focus, the focus peeking takes you out of the moment
I have a saw similar to that. Helper handle and all. Have never used it, hangs on the wall in my house. Never rusted, but used by a master arborist. Kept it very clean.
I like the honesty. If you mis-speak/mis-think, you keep it for documentation of our human mistakes.
