He heard there was a big hemlock I was hesitant to drop. Hard to tell where it would fall, surrounded by trees to get hung-up on.
Dangerous.
Steve took the chainsaw and pushed me aside.
"Watch and learn, man".
Check out the action...

Good to see the "heads up" as he's sawing. Those leaners are a gigantic pain in the behind. Almost guaranteed to pinch your saw...then the fun REALLY starts. Good job.
ReplyDeleteThat's a big 10-4, good buddy.
ReplyDeleteIt's leaner city round these parts.
I got to the point where I'd have a spare bar and chain to take the engine off and cut with the spare to free my gear.
Though I recently switched up to the 20" from the 16". Because I like more cutting surface sometimes and the tracks were too warn on the 16 to cut straight anymore.
Now I've gotta get a spare 20 and chain...at some point. Having a spare chain, I'm sure you'll agree is the way to go on a big cutting day anyway. I'd rather do a quick switch than spend the time sharpening while there's daylight.
And then there's that moment when taking a hung tree vertical by cuts that you really don't know which way it's gonna go. Sorta fun and scary at the same time.
