This tree blew down into a crotch of another tree and had to come down. These can be deceiving

Thanks Buckin, I been cutting my own firewood for 50 years now, (not a pro by ANY means), and I still learn good stuff from you. Love your videos, don't often comment but love the positive vibes, tips and kindness shown. Be safe, be well and God bless.

Don't try that at home friends. That's some serious danger tree falling. Good job Buckin! I love how when it gets serious you grab your old Mcculloch. 💪

@davidchisholm1179 28 күн бұрын

Yes don't try this at home. Billy is a seasoned pro with decades of practice. You weekend warriors can get yourselves royally messed up or killed trying this. I out to know, I have 40 years in the tree business and this might look easy but it's not.

I truly appreciate your instruction. Just had an 80-90 foot Tennesee white oak fall and hung up in my back yard. I trimmed from top down. Now down to mid trunk, but not without getting my saw hung up 3 times. Should have watched your video first. You are truly a blessing to to this novice. Your over the screen comments are reassuring and much appreciated. You’re a good spirit and an accomplished drummer. Keep being you! The world needs more people like you.

I found that the easiest way for me to get a hungup tree free once one end is on the ground is a 3 ton come-a-long and a chain. When I first started cutting trees on my property I got more trees hungup than I like to admit lol. Thank you again for a good video and sharing your knowledge with everyone.

@nathanadrian7797 3 жыл бұрын

Been there, done that! Years ago I hung up 2 small Larch trees while making firewood, and I had no idea how to get them down. I drove down to an old loggers place and got some advice, went back and took them down just like you just showed. It looks easy when you see it done but I remember being very nervous.

@CodeCharmer 3 жыл бұрын

This winter created a few of these on my property. I watched the video and cringed on every cut. (so I have to disagree with "it looks easy") I came to the comments and expected to read a bunch of Karens saying you should do this another way, but most comments are - you did it textbook. I do agree with the "very nervous" cause just watching - I was. How do you know whats going to happen? How do you know it's not rolling towards you? Does the weight always make it fall and dig into the earth straight down?

Fantastic cutting, and great drumming too ... nice moler whip ... funky beats. Those broken snags, especially that tall, are serious, and easy to screw up if you don't know what your doing. Even if you know what your doing, branches fall, snap, you never know what is going to happen, and keeps you on your toes. You cut it just perfect! I learned a lot from this video, both cutting and drums! Thanks!
