Removing a chainsaw stuck in a tree-the wrong way!

[treeslayer2003]

i ain't watching that

[sprucebunny]

Ya, I couldn't even watch the whole video. Just skipped thru it. Too stupid.

I deal almost exclusively with smaller trees. Make a cut push em over. If they don't fall down, I make vertical firewood. Shrug.

Now, I wouldn't be so casual when they get over 5-7" but I chose my victims and method.

He seems like a wimpy troll of some kind. Am I allowed to say that ???

Girl with a chainsaw  :D ( well...more than one  ;D )

Haha, owell, land of the free, home of the brave!!! carry on bud!!!

May have been a troll, may have been a guy knowing he did something wrong, but not knowing how to do it right, and the comments were put in after the fact to head off possible attacks?  From the post, it seems as though he was claiming that was a video of the poster doing the cutting. If so, do yourself a favor, and take a chainsaw class or get some pointers from someone who knows what they are doing.

CCC4 - the technique you describe is probably how I would have handled it, to it's hard to say for sure without a good walk-around of the tree.  Incidentally, that was one of the techniques they showed in a GOL level 4 class where we spent the day intentionally hanging up trees and then figuring out how to get them down.

Old boy was working way too hard to look stupid , and it worked !!!! I call B.S. I doubt there is anyone on this forum that don't know how to get a saw unstuck , don't insult us Mr.......

[killamplanes]

This is why the medical field is such a good one to be in.  My 6yr old would get that tree sprout on the ground faster. I call B.S.x2

Unfortunately, I've run into people who are exactly as "knowledgeable" at tree felling.

[snowstorm]

can we delete this thread like someone else deletes there things where it can never be found 

i know what you mean   and your right

[pinefeller]

Dude dont post videos of stuff like this. we all have, and do dumb things. keep it to yourself and learn from it. so sell the EDITED BY ADMIN camera and buy some ppe with the money. next time unbolt the saw from the bar, put a rope in the tree and pull it over.
i really hope this was a staged joke.

[Czech_Made]

I he using the saw as a hand saw?  I mean the constant movement back and forth, maybe somebody should tell him the saw has an engine attached to it  ;D ;D

[petefrom bearswamp]

No hard hat, no chaps, dull saws, no brains, why does he even start the saws? He is sawing with the motion.

[snowstorm]

did someone say troll??

[Ron Scott]

Really hard to watch this.

[lshobie]

It's the old "pinch the saw cut a double notch chainsaw sawing maneuver with a strap semi finish and hail mary ending".  Nope never seen that one before.

[ppine]

I see dangerous felling videos fairlly often. They usually have titles like "How to fell a tree."
Some involve ladders and come alongs.

Fritz,
For God's Sake, get some help. Start with a hard hat, and ear plugs and learn to look up and read the lean.  Carry wedges and an axe. I have never seen anyone fell a small tree 5 times.  This is a dangerous game you are playing.  We are all embarassed for you, but want you to get some help.

[Jeff]

This guy was a total waste of our time. He was what I said I am sure. He registered, posted his crap, and never came back once after he did it. A total troll that I wish I could have 5 minutes with in real life.

[Ox]

What truly amazes me is what Fritz has (or doesn't have) going on in his life to think that this would be entertainment.  This, ladies and gentlemen, is the action of a true loser.  To such a high degree that it's too incredible to effectively put nice words to it.

[rjwoelk]

The title of this should have been,  how to do everything wrong and look like a moron doing it.

[John Mc]

You guys are probably right, and this was a Troll.

However, I do feel bad for him if this was a person who was just making his first post, and intending to be around and swap stories and get suggestions and we're all just hammering on him (and scaring him away). Here's hoping he's not getting the feeling you get when you stumble on to some of those "other" chainsaw/forestry/arborist sites and say or do something that doesn't fly. If you truly are that type of person, my apologies. If you are a Troll - well I guess you can call me gullible - I fell for it just enough to wonder...

If you are some other person new to this site and to using a chainsaw seeing this and thinking "wow! these guys are harsh!" just know that this is not how we treat people who come to this site who are honestly trying to have a good discussion. The moderators & Admins here do a great job of keeping things civil. The Forestry Forum does not tolerate personal attacks, but neither do we suffer Trolls just out to stir things up. From the response to this thread so far, I guess you can see what the conclusion is about the original poster here.

[Jeff]

We knew he was a troll by looking at his other videos right at the beginning. Other subjects with the same story line. Doing something foolishly dangerous and recording it, then posting it on youtube.  That is why he was treated this way here. You know *DanG well I would not stand for a legitimate person being treated wrongly here, but when you have someone like this come in, hell, I'll do what ever it takes to defame him for trying to use our Forestry Forum for jackass purposes when we go to great lengths to be a source of "better than good" information,

[John Mc]

Not criticizing your administration of the forum, Jeff. I suppose if I had looked at his other videos, I'd have come to the same conclusion.

[gimpy]

I am not a faller but I know enough to know he was extremely lucky.

Sorry but I wanted to call The Guinness Book of records. How he got that old should be a record.

[killamplanes]

[SineWave]

Wow. Just wow.

[BurkettvilleBob]

What's the story with DanG? Is it not kosher to say *DanG?
