Jesus mate be extra careful,your giving me the fear!

Im not against people making a couple of quid doin tree work but get yourself some training,it opens your eyes to how dangerous arboriculture is.You say climb as high as i dare and judge the weight if the bit to be lobbed,you dont instill confidence in me.Indeed we all had to learn,and ive had my share of **** your pants moments but its the training that gives you the knowledge to deal with these issues.Be careful please

 

A little bit of common sense usually works well for me.

 

We'll need training to go for a 'number two' before long.

Oh and yeah green houses are a pain in the arse,however you can charge extra though for rigging it out rather than a straight cut and chuck

 

Thanks for the advice, might come in handy some day....

I've never managed to use a Humboldt cut and have the piece actually fall flat, it usually wants to go top heavy like usual, it looks like he chases the cut in the video leaving very little hinge... Can anyone clarify?? Would make sense I guess :)

Agreed,but the theme in the vid is too show how to use different notches whilst in tree cutting.Now thats all good and proper but anyone who has aspirations to climb and use a chainsaw in tree would have knowledge of these techniques because theyve passed there basic felling tickets,so -to me-it seems like some people would take a saw up a tree and start cutting away without the proper training because they watched a youtube vid on the subject.just my opinion

 

So did you get taught to do a Humbolt cut in your basic felling and climbing tickets?

 

I know I didn't.

Yeah i did,although the trainer said its mostly loggers in north america use it.Ive used it in tree in the past

I use them all the time.

 

I only asked as it isn't to my knowledge, part of the teaching content or the climbing and felling tickets.

 

Some trainers may mention it in passing. I started using it for the reasons stated in the clip. Saying that though a narrow (traditional) face cut can make the butt jump forward and clear obstacles and land flat. My choice depends on where exactly I am in the tree and the size and what saw I have at the time.
