What happens here

The presenter then addresses clearing fallen pine trees from a newly constructed road on his farm. He explains that "Virginia pine" or "scrub pine" trees are weak and often break and fall during strong winds or snow, blocking the path. He suits up in full chainsaw safety gear, including chainsaw chaps, a hard hat with face shield, and hearing protection, before starting his Husqvarna chainsaw. He demonstrates cutting the fallen logs into shorter, manageable sections to clear the road. He emphasizes the importance of safety when operating a chainsaw.

Goal: Remove tree debris to make the farm road passable.

the battery it says it's charging so we got a battery issue awesome glad it's not a solar panel issue I didn't want to rewire all that it's pretty simple though let's go get a new battery let's go down here and cut these trees get them out of the way so folks I guess you can see what I've got going on here these little skinny pine trees that you see in here if they just don't hold up they just start falling over they grow so close together that when one falls over ten of them fall over okay so we had the top breakout on one of them and several of them are still leaned over the road here so I'm slipping on my chainsaw chaps here you can see that they're running on my chainsaw chaps getting ready to get busy we'll go ahead and cut these out of the way another little farm tour folks we always take safety very seriously here on the farm I know it seems silly for me to wear hard hat and a face shield and hearing protection for ten minutes worth of work here but guys it'll save you it'll save your ears it'll save your eyes it'll save your life so you really got to pay attention put your chaps on do your due diligence don't pull this cord unless these chaps are on and you're protecting your eyes okay so I know for all you old school tough guys it might seem like a kind of wussy thing to do but working in a trauma intensive care unit I see a lot of bad stuff so protect yourself and you only get two of these books I will give you one chainsaw tip don't buy a saw that's bigger then you can handle okay so I believe this saw has a 24-inch bar on it I'm a big boy I'm six five and it really helps me to not have to bend over having this long bar on here but don't buy a saw it's too big something that you can't handle you'll hurt yourself now folks if I can help it I don't use pine as firewood okay I might use it as firewood for the campfire down here but I don't use it for a normal firewood I cut this up in links big enough to where I could get it out of the road get my road back open back and run it if you guys want an awesome set of gloves still timber sports it makes a great glove just a great glove keeps your hands warm and it has this protective material here so if the chainsaw hits it it pulls a fiber out and slows the chainsaw down so hopefully it doesn't take your whole hand off awesome let's get these sticks up later on we might take these and put them on the fire down there but for now we're just gonna throw them out of the way they'll be on the side of the…
