it was going the right way ,i think a little gust of wind pushed it back ,i nipped it again with another bar and pushed it with wedges
Agreed, Mr. HE.
Youthful fantasies notwithstanding, in every occupation there comes a time that separates the men from the boys. And for most there comes a time regardless of competency when you decide whether you are going to stick with it and set some personal boundaries or look for something else. I believe most of the senior posters here have been there.
On the other hand there are folks in life that are totally incompetent and/or never seem to appreciate danger and/or continually seek a thrill that somehow survive. Every now and then one such will post on AS. I've run across one or two like that in public safety and candidly I would prefer someone else come to my aid. I certainly don't want to cut wood with the like-minded or take instruction from them.
All said I still believe there is an admirable inner motivation that causes one to calculate and take formidable risks.

does falling a tree on you bar count as falling :hmm3grin2orange:
Now all you need is a railroad spike, a piece of string, a tigger and some time to complete it.

Twochains,
Got trick for ya. If ya keep your chain speed up when your coming out of the cut you won't get hung up quite as much with that longer bar. Softwood fiber is severed better with square ground so if you're using round your cut fibers aren't as smooth and grab the chain and stall your saw out. Not to mention all the saw chips in there.
Couldn't tell but if you have the small dawgs on your saw, if not get the bigger doubles... better leverage and slip less in loose bark.
We'll leave the full wrap debate for later
Happy cuttin!

Twochains, good work, but open that face up man. There's just no sence in a huge kerf like that unless the thing is leaning 45.. Like the others are saying, get setup with some square chain sharpening equipment. You will love it. Most factory square chain is buggerd up in one way or another.. when its right you can start a kerf and use nothing more than your finger on the throttle while the saw eats away steadily. Night and day.

The edge is off the chain, so its leaving fiber like whiskers in the cut, causing the chain an bar to bind up in the cut.
Grab a file an put the edge back on, i always carried a file with me. It only takes couple minutes to put an edge back on.

Ha Ha! The timber is just getting better and better on this place. The job sucks but there is some nice timber.
Thanks! 046
Dood. . . Yer killin' me with that doggy saw and shtuff.
Get that thing ported and start you square filing, or Goofy in the least.
Or abide yer time and save some coin fer a Simington grinder.
I know...imagine trying to shoot a vid and yer saw goes...waaawwwww! How much extra gas will a ported saw use? What I mean is, will I notice a big difference in trees per tank so to say? I have a guy that I am going to take it to..."Stumpy's Customs" and get the saw Stump Broke!
HA, just a little plug for a good dude!Kid...Thanks man! Dude I don't know exactly what it is but with that long bar, I have been throwing some big kerfs. I pre-viewed 2 vids I shot today and was like Holy ####! I actually don't even know how I got away with it. The odd thing was while I was cutting everything seemed right, but when I watched on the vids...there it was, bigger than ####!

IMO you just sorted things ya self cause ya admitted what was wrong ........That the most important thing being able to admit when you did something wrong and then ask for advice.....Just my opinion.
but your doing fine bro you are

Just some junky elm. Nothing special. No pic of the tree falling though, cause the cameraman took a forward tumbling roll just as the tree headed for the lay
