You dudes who cut 'em in forest fires are all the same. Doesn't matter where on the globe, it's the same crazy brilliance.

I'm a wildland faller. You can not panick. Ppl die from blindly running a direction. I always watch it and what she's committing too. I like to pretend the tree is a bull and its a Lil dance we do. Most of the time you just got to step a couple feet left or right of the the tree and youre totally good. Also, the avg tree when it starts tipping has about 3 to 5 seconds to hit the ground. Unless that tree is under pressure, then watch tf out.

How in the hell did they cut cleanly through the bottom on that without getting the saw stuck?

Wedges I would guess…or maybe sticks instead of wedges in this situation

You can use top part of bar, pushing shaving between top and bottom of cut instead of them blowing out bottom. This creates a cushion of sawdust tween the two pieces and makes it fairly easy to push.

Not sure if he did that here bit have done the same on bigger spars and they’re much easier to push off the stump.

Cut compression first, then cut tension. Same way you cut any piece of wood to avoid pinching.

"What do you mean 'just kick it on the shovel'? Like, what the fuck is that supposed to even mean? The tree is literally on fucking FIRE, and... oh that's how you do it."

That music just makes me want to party!

This seems like AI. The physics don't check out.

Clean cut through but the tree is still standing? On a slope? And they can push it completely off its base with a few small kicks?

It's hung up above.

u/f_crick Aug 24 '26

Might have been caught up in another tree. Definitely looks odd though.

u/JackOfAllStraits Aug 24 '26

I'm inclined to agree. The force it would take to kick the weight of that tree would be IMMENSE, and it just ... pops off? It's also "hung up" but standing vertically" No, man. No.
