Idiot with a "power saw"
I didn't feel the pictures were nearly as good as the video of this drive, so here it is.View attachment VID_20221003_140047031~2.mp4
Yep, that's why I try to always have a plan and be deliberate with what I'm doing. Some people just go all willy-nilly and they end up like our friend in the stump thread lol.Roger that! Good work man! Yeah I'd have to agree on the fact that the flat ground and the straight timber was key and your saving grace! I know I myself wouldn't have fell it otherwise, but that's just me.
A lovely lovely rainy day of cut'n a strip as the tree tops dance with winds sustaining 30 knots gusting 40 knots. There was no crippling or posting up drives on this day I'll tell ya! Sorry guys, no videos of any actual felling. I didn't really have time to mess around with a camera during that time. I kind of had to pay attention!
Cut safe, stay sharp, and be very aware!

Its ok about not posting pictures. I have a pretty good imagination! I may have experienced something along those lines before!Lol, I think you're gutsy for cutting in those conditions! My hats off too you, I had a bad day in the wind earlier this year and I've been a little gun shy in the wind ever since then. I won't go into too much detail, but a strong head-wind developed while I was in my back cut on a back leaning fir. No amount of wedging could send it towards my intended lay and the resulting stump pictures will not be shared on a public forum lol.
I lost one yesterday in the wind, no pictures...Lol, I think you're gutsy for cutting in those conditions!

This has some good old time stuff that still applies today. Check about 14:25 for a big snag shedding it's bark. I've seen that happen and if you're double jacking get it clear with your partner which way you're both going to run. That way you don't run into each other, fall down, and wind up wearing the tree.
Now that is a real timber faller!Found this interesting, and another good example of why I wasn't a Faller. LOL
Hat's off to everyone who handles these situations with skill and competence.

Thanks.Nice work dude!
I shipped the ported 440 down the rd last yr when I snagged up another 462 to keep. A muffler modded 462 isn't far off a mildly ported 440, and it sips fuel, better anti-vibe, and is crazy light for a 70cc saw.Chipper, that‘s why I sent the 046-066‘s down the road. Things are getting heavy. Replaced with a couple 500i’s. Should be the last large saws I need. To go along with my fleet of Jonny 2152-2171’s.
I never did graduate to the 22xx series saws.
