Chainsaw Training Video

Think so, it's up in Canada, right? I'm def down to come help out. I'm contract climbing again so now I have some more flexibility.
 
Never been to a formal training like that but I've seen a ton of videos of correct notching techniques. I would be extremely interested in attending one of those chainsaw training classes if the focus of the class was notching one giant tree with maybe some mock circumstances. Obviously you don't just want to drop any big tree and it would be difficult to find one but I feel that would be worth coming to see compared to a straight stem that you could wrap your arms around. Art and science of practical rigging dvd series had a large one dropped and it really gave me insight watching something big come over.

If your gunna make it I can hook you up with camping like accommodations. It's a bit north of the site (45 min) but I'll be commuting so to speak. Let me know.

The size of trees we use to instruct is entirely dependent on the area/ site. Often times we work on 100+ feet in height, but rarely above 30"-35" dbh.

The techniques remain very similar regardless of dbh(within reason), the difference comes in expereince and confidence really.

Many times "smaller" trees can offer a bigger challenge for many reasons from site, obsticals, hazard, to limited wood fiber. Side leaders are one of my favorites. I see your point and agree to an extent. Just don't be turned off from any good chainsaw course becasue the trees are "small."
Often the little ones are the ones that get you!

Thanks for taking time to watch and comment,
