Everybody seems to have a "super awesome chainsaw trick" on YouTube. Not sure if this qualifies or not - you be the judge.
The wood in this location and at this elevation is very hard. I did noticed some rattle in my chain while putting in the face. As mentioned, this chain was last used felling Redwoods on the coast the previous week and it's the first grind in the "inland configuration", so things are a little rough.
As stated, I'm using part of the face cut as a wedge to actually stop the tree, mid-flight, on it's way to the ground.
The objective of this maneuver is to allow me to gut all/most of the heart wood out while tree is standing and stationary. As you can see it works pretty good in this attempt.
A word of caution to all:
Not for the faint of heart or a Novice I imagine.
May lose the tree over sideways.
Tree may barberchair.
Better know your wood type and characteristics, and know it well!
Better have a good grasp on your skill set.
Might want to have your saw paid off and insurance up to date.
Not all operations on my channel are for all of those that would try. My suggestion is; if you think it's to dangerous for you to try, you are probably correct in the assessment. Hire a profession when in doubt.
I am currently available for port work If you are interested, please shoot me an email.
