Cutting Spring Poles

When a tree falls in the woods usually it takes other smaller trees with it and those that don't break and are bent over due to the weight of the fallen tree are called spring poles. They are called that way because if you were to release the weight that was holding them down they would spring up at you. In the video below Dana talks about the tension in these trees and how to approach it with a chainsaw.



And here Dana shows us how to shave the tree so that it doesn't spring up and hit you in the face.



Now it's Paula's turn. Dana uses an attention getter to get Paula's attention if she is doing something wrong because you can barely hear yourself think with the noise the chainsaw makes.



Dana does one last example at shaving.
