The Benny Hill theme tune would go well there ......

Ya, I couldn't figure out your wording on that. . Copy now.

Here's another couple Heros :msp_sneaky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cClxs3j_I6E&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Michael is up in AK falling OG timber with Chuck Berg. . . Chuck says he's a pretty good faller. :dunno:

 

[bitzer]

There is a definite progression in Michaels videos. That one is an earlier one. Its tough to make a decent video that anyone will give a #### about.

As far as good falling videos Jasha and pat/ greenwedge are about the smoothest operators. I wish they had more videos.

I think Tramps rant was more about the video only showing the easy stuff. Face cuts and bludgeoning wedges are boring to most people so people never show it. For guys like us the hard stuff is what we want to see, that's what sets the good fallers apart from the chainsaw owners.

You guys probably would have liked a video of what I did yesterday. I had 3 wedges in the back and then had to stack 2 to finally get it over after I buried 2 on each side of the middle so I had room to stack them.

I'll try to post more. Nothing looks easy when I'm doing it:biggrin:
It'll remind newbs stumbling on here that falling ain't easy!

I take zero offense from this. I have never, and will likely never put in a face as good as that one

HS. In No way was that comment directed at you. .

My raggin on yt vids pertains to professionals. . I liked your "long bar " vid. . Ya, you made a mistake. But you learned. That's good. . I'm back at the clinic again this morning. Got a sliver stuck in the inside of my eye lid. The didn't get it out yesterday. I shire do hope someone here can roll up my eye lid on a wood q tip and remove it. I have to start in Valdez on Monday. I was hoping to have a fun day with the wife tomorrow. Not sit inside a dark house.

I hope no one takes offence to this but I been wonderin for a while now, why do you western guys cut the stumps that high? I figure must be a reason.

 

[twochains]

Here's one from this morning. The saw bogged on the first tree due to the tree puking a bit...par for the course I guess

....and yes...I fell off the log!...go figure

I think I know what cut Paccity took this photo of. If so. These stumps were used as guys stumps for the yarder at different set ups. Plenty of times it's a 12" rule, with the tribe it's a dollar an inch over 12", and they actually check and measure out all over the job. A lot depends on the ground also. Then again easy stumps make good fire rounds for the loggers, that can't walk off on their own.

[paccity]
