snag with a pusher

[wvlogger]

I'll add another flaw.. walking with a running saw and blipping the throttle. I swear I heard the chain moving without the brake on. First time you fall on a saw you will learn..if you live. There is no way that saw should have had any trouble with that tree. Your chain isn't right or your saw isn't right. The bar has nothing to do with it. Stop "blipping" the throttle.

that is one of my old habits it has been a hard one to break

I hate to jump in the game late and what not. Go out and get a .020 Raker gauge and at least a skull bucket. No need to have a tent stake poking out of your head. Not a bad video man. I give you good props. It went where you wanted and it made it too the ground. Congrats!

wvlogger- Glad you admit a habit. Please get a hardhat. The only reason I am here today is because I wore one. The very first day I did I was clobbered by a rotten top out of a very large birch tree. The impact with my head completely collapsed the harness inside the helmet, my saw ended up 20' away, and I was driven down two feet into the snow on my snowshoes. It was a big forked bugger and one of the forks smashed two aluminum fuel bottles in my backpack. Another piece of it hit me across my thighs and I carried bruises for weeks after that. It took two guys to get the chunk off of me. I probably wouldn't have even lived if I hadn't been standing on 4' of snow. The fact I was wearing a hardhat leaves me happily married to a wonderful wife and three fantastic children. Otherwise I'd have been dead at 20. ...... Off of my soapbox now...please be safe.

Yes. Please do get a good lid.

I got cracked by a Post sized locust top that a big poplar i dropped broke.
would have scalped if not crushed the back of my dome.

Probably also would of gotten some Brain hemorrhaging out of the small highly sprung hickory that sent me & saw up and clear into a skid road about 20 feet down if i had not been wearing my lid.

there have been many "DING"s since then that would have scalp blood but where nothing more than a DINGGG. tin hats...

Helmet and Chaps every time you take the saw out !!! There may be a day when you'll be glad you did!!!!
