felling burning trees

this tree was compromised by fire in its root system so she had to go #creekfire

Nick Smith, a family friend and all-around great young man who does all he can to support his family and community. Congratulations on his recent wedding. A great sawyer, also.

Incredible young man! He & his crew just insisted taking down a lot of trees for us! Outstanding precision!

That is vary dangerous thing to do, this dude has balls of steel! 😁👍

I used to do this job. It was something that I will never forget. The heat, and the sound was like a jet plane on take off. Very satisfying at the end

[JS-oynn]

You guys do an excellent job of cutting and filming, big thumbs up 👍🏻

[chipbowers]

Very nice! I swamped for some local gypo sawyers on a big fire. I learned so much about technique and hard work. The days flew by.

"What about fire?"
"Sure, why not."

The burning question here is: *Did he make sure the spark arrester was properly installed?*

You're a freaking STUD!! Thank you for what the do brother be safe this fire season!@

[greybone]

Well trained sawyer. 👏. Did some crazy saw work when I was in the USFS . Falling any tree over 20 inches in diameter is always a satisfying crash.

Dude with the saw is worth a lot of money. That only looked easy

[Derwentmole]

I fell all the burning snags for the Gov. and for the province of BC before they would allow fire fighters in to fight fire. This was in the Revelstoke area where there are still 6- 7 feet at the butt Red Cedar and huge Douglas Fir, I made money back then cool job

[scuttfarcus]

What a Sawyer!!! Gee, ya think he's done that a few times?? Tipping my hard hat to ya. Stay safe friend.

[securethebag]

How is he breathing while standin in all the smoke and fumes?

[colegursky]

Just a question? Always wanted to be a class 1 faller and my dad was one and told me about the green and the black, just asking why did you fall the tree in the green while it's burning? Just for the top half? Then buck up the burning in the black? Just curious? TIA
