Bucking Logs into Manageable Sections

What happens here

Once the felled logs have been successfully moved to the designated collection area, use a chainsaw to cut them into smaller, more manageable sections, a process commonly known as 'bucking'. The video illustrates this by showing a long log being cut into multiple pieces. It is important to plan your cuts thoughtfully, considering the intended future use of the wood (e.g., firewood, lumber, pulp) and to ensure that each section is of a size that can be easily handled or further processed. Pay close attention to any tension or compression within the log, which can cause the saw to kick back dangerously or the blade to get pinched. Proper body positioning and secure footing are paramount.

Goal: Cut long logs into smaller, more manageable pieces.
