Скачать или смотреть How We Cut Trees Safe: The Notch Trick (No Accidents!)

“Cutting a tree’s not about brute force – it’s about outthinkin’ it, that’s what the old folks say out here.” In this clip, someone’s standing by a tree, first using a saw to carve a slanted notch on the side we want the tree to fall. Then they move to the opposite side, sawing slowly while glancing at the notch every few seconds. Here’s how it works: that notch lets the tree’s weight shift toward the open side, and once the second cut gets close to the notch, the tree starts leaning and falls right into the clear spot we prepped earlier. What comes of this? The tree lands flat on the empty ground we cleared, no smacking the nearby vegetable beds or firewood shed. Why does this matter? First, it’s safe – around here, our yards are crammed with crops and sheds, so getting the tree to fall exactly where we want keeps us from fixing broken stuff later. Second, it’s easy on the arms: we don’t have to swing the axe like mad; the notch does most the work by guiding the tree’s fall. It makes you think: rural work ain’t just about muscle – the little tricks passed down from folks who’ve cut hundreds of trees are way more useful than just heaving away. This cut looks simple, but it’s how we get the job done without mess or mishaps. Have you ever seen old rural tricks make tough work way easier?
