      Yes but it's bound to happen, people need to understand the area they live in.. whether it be prone to hurricanes and tropical storms, or high heat and little humidity for fires. It's all just part of nature, and just because most of us have I been around long enough to see huge storms and disasters, does not mean they have never occurred before. Humans are very adaptable, and while it's tragic and inconvenient for a lot of people. Again, you need to understand the area and know when and how to deal with the situations of the region.

    A quick tip to make bucking large logs a bit safer from a fellow C Faller: "Cut your offside first". Dawg in at the top center and cut, pivoting down from dawgs until bar is vertical, then finish as you did here with kerf on top followed by an undercut. Cutting your offside first reduces the width of the tree by half so you won't need to lean in so close when finishing your undercut. This allows you to be further from the log when it releases.

    Interesting to witness the differences in techniques in breaking a stressed logs back to get it on the ground safely, where you use wedges to keep the top relief cut open, us Brits don't, we may even cut out a shallow gob on top so we can watch it close in on the under cut relieving the tension a bit slower (once the risk assessment had been completed of course)
    Hats off to all you guys fighting these fires, you have my deepest respect. keep up the sterling work.

    No need to wedge. Start the top cut until you feel it start to pinch just slightly, and then bring it from bottom up. 1/4 the time and even easier(those wedges keep bottom cut from opening more.

    Nice to see someone who can actually use a chainsaw safely! Well done.
    Just a tip that I learned when dealing with trees that are leaning like that, instead of just doing your first cut on the compression side and then putting in wedges, I always put a V gob on that side (similar to the one used for felling). Then when you do the cut on the tension side, instead of the tree breaking at some random moment, you will see your cut opening (just like felling) and you more time to control the tree and to move out of the way when it's ready to break. It's also a lot quicker as you don't need the wedges and it's a lot kinder on your nerves!
    Have a go and let me know what you think. It's got me out of some pritty scary spots over the years :-)

      I wasn't tense only because of his 'friend' standing there. Without that friend, that would be a dangerous little trap. I also had to factor in Wrangle. Clearly this was not the first time he has seen and done this. The angle and degree of tension is also pretty shallow. Wrangle is close enough to also assess that split we don't get a sense of until afterwards. Overall, Cody aint going out there to get hurt, or hurt another, but he dropped all his excuses at the junk pile. Now, it's just doing the work.

    • @zackarydenson

    • @MarcoTedaldi
      @MarcoTedaldi 6 лет назад +16

      Zackary Denson the top cut was very well needed so the tree would separate cleanly.
      If he would only cut from the bottom, it would eventually break but stay connected by bent wood fibres under VERY high tension.
      This way, the physics helps ripping the last fibres that connect the parts apart.

      FFS, I buck logs for a living. Just looking at the way the tree is lying, you can tell if it is under pressure downward or up ward. Cut into it from the top and it will show you this by the cut trying to close up. As it closes up, pull the bar out and cut up from the bottom. I guarantee the bottom cut will open up and the log will drop. HOWEVER, if you are dumb enough to drive wedges in from the top, you will open the top cut AND, in the process, close the bottom cut. Do you see how you are using wedges incorrectly and working against yourself???

It's going close when you under buck. When you under buck the cut is opening. How is it going to pinch your saw? It can't .

      Which means you have no idea of its structural integrity, nor if the temperature at any point deep in the log is enough to get very exciting if the saw drags fresh air in. Watching you calm confidence and the smooth teamwork of the crew was a rare pleasure. There is also the fact that you cannot be certain of the ground beneath your feet and ever present risk of voids half full of burning root.

      @@em0_tion Where I’m from, that famous story is known as “the Turtle and the Bunny.” It’s a great lesson about foot races, and what it takes to be a winner. It teaches us that it really makes no difference if we are fat and slow. There’s no reason to get in shape, train, or work hard at getting faster, because in the end, being faster and more athletic will just cause you to lose, anyway. Slow and steady always wins the race. It works out that way any time the faster person takes a nap in the middle of the race, and doesn’t wake up until after you cross the finish line, so basically always, pretty much.
