Yep... no plumb-bobs... no protractors... no sissy bore cuts... just exceptional West Coast fallin' techniques and one hell of a fine saw!

and

that dog was smarter than many folks he kept his eyes on the tree

 

[RPM]

Awesome ... even the dog knows to look up! (ahhhh...Cassandrasdaddy u beat me to that on )

 

[slowp]

The best ever!! I love it. I'd try and have my dog watch it to see that he isn't the only dog who works in the woods, sometimes. This makes up for 3 seasons of the Make Loggers Look Stupid show.

Mind if I embed it on the treehugger site where they're talking about wilderness?

Should I cock my hat before bucking? I think that's more of a guy thing, although my friend's mom said you should never wear a hat straight on, but always at an angle to look beautiful. Her mom knew a lot about that stuff. Apparently your brother does too! :wave:

 

[mdavlee]

Nice video there.

I like your buddy Cody! Seems like he's a little bit country, and a little bit rock'n'roll!!

Actually, he is my Ex Wifes Brother, but we have always been close, and still are...I will be seeing him over New Years, and I will have to tell him about all the notoriety he is getting on here...he will get a kick out of it. I started trampin with him when I was 18...him and his Dad...still considered my Dad and Brother.

Oh, that's the Ex-BIL you've talked about!! Seems like good people. Didn't you say he was asking you to go chop for a spell with him?

It's fun to watch a cutter who is really good at what they do. Great video, and that 660 sounded real healthy too.

Yep. He just moved back to Idaho, and has a real good job with a prominent logger there.

Awesome video, He is really good. Thanks for posting.

 

[madhatte]

It's like an advertisement for Stihl and Sugihara. Great economy of movement!

 

[bitzer]

Thanks for posting that Cody. Great clip. Just badass, no ####in around. I like the little grin he gives coming back on the under cut. Good Stuff!

Even the dog knew what to do. Ugly Dog looks like the dogs in some of the old Scandihoovian cowboy pictures--my ancestors. Daniel the Spaniel was one.

 

[056kid]

Thats how I like to knock em down, well ideally, I dont get them all as good as he did. Its a perfect example of how affective a good regular 1/3 30 or so degree face and a regular old back cut really is. . .


What makes his chain so bad ass? the drags couldnt be that low or he wouldnt have had such an easy time cleaning the face with the top of his tip.
Im guessing a good square grind along with green soft wood?

 

[hammerlogging]

Well I'd say he was pulling through a serious voume of wood through the cut. So all those factors: drags, probably full comp, sharp sharp, and a fabulously tuned saw

10 points for style. Thanks for sharing Cody.

Ahhh, softwood. beautiful.

 

[banshee67]

that dog must have a lot of experience ! lol
he was 100% focused on the top of the tree , thats awesome
