-I'm Lisa Angharad.

0:00:060:00:08

-I'm trying professions

-traditionally associated with men.

0:00:080:00:13

-This week

-I'm going to be a lumberjack.

0:00:140:00:16

-There's plenty of trunks

-and machinery to excite any male!

0:00:170:00:20

-I'm out to prove that women

-can handle the danger too.

0:00:200:00:24

-I'd better get cracking. Chop-chop!

0:00:250:00:28

-I shouldn't have worn disco pants!

0:00:280:00:30

-I'm on my way to Anglesey to meet

-two brothers who are lumberjacks.

0:00:350:00:41

-# If you want to drive

-an expensive car

0:00:410:00:45

-# I'll buy you

-the most expensive in the world

0:00:450:00:48

-# I'll buy you big tall trees

-and all the water in the sea

0:00:480:00:51

-# I'm a fool, fool, fool for you #

0:00:510:00:54

-Hiya, boys.

0:00:580:01:00

-Dafydd and Alun, are you OK?

0:01:000:01:02

-Yes, thanks.

0:01:030:01:05

-Tell me, lads, how long

-have you been felling trees?

0:01:050:01:09

-We don't fell trees, Lisa.

0:01:100:01:12

-We sing the song, "Coed Mawr Tal"

-(Big Tall Trees).

0:01:120:01:16

-What?

0:01:160:01:18

-After another

-wasted journey to Anglesey...

0:01:270:01:30

-..I turn the car around

-and head for Bethesda.

0:01:310:01:34

-Very few women fell trees

-but I'm here to prove it's possible.

0:01:340:01:38

-It's cold and lonely

-in the mountains...

0:01:390:01:42

-..but no-one'll mess

-with a girl wielding an axe.

0:01:420:01:45

-When I think about a lumberjack...

0:01:470:01:49

-..I picture a coat like this,

-jeans, work boots...

0:01:490:01:53

-..a man living alone

-in a log cabin with six dogs...

0:01:530:01:58

-..and an axe.

0:01:580:02:00

-I'm going to start at the very

-beginning and learn how to use it.

0:02:000:02:05

-It's 10 o'clock. Here's Johnny!

0:02:060:02:09

-Andrew Evans and Bill Huaki are

-members of the Timbersports GB Team.

0:02:310:02:35

-They compete all over Europe.

0:02:360:02:38

-If I want to do some real damage,

-I've come to the right place.

0:02:380:02:42

-There are four stages

-to chopping wood.

0:02:460:02:49

-One, two...

0:02:490:02:51

-..top, bottom.

0:02:510:02:54

-OK. I can't manoeuvre very well

-with an axe.

0:02:560:03:00

-Do you want a ladder?

0:03:000:03:02

-Do you want a ladder?

-

-No, thanks.

0:03:020:03:03

-Keep going.

0:03:060:03:08

-No. Swing it higher.

0:03:080:03:10

-Swing it out and straight down.

-That's better.

0:03:100:03:14

-I've had an injury.

0:03:150:03:17

-You get blisters

-from this type of work. Don't worry.

0:03:190:03:23

-Carry on.

0:03:230:03:25

-OK. Thanks, Andrew.

0:03:250:03:27

-I'm getting hot.

0:03:290:03:32

-That's it. Well done. That's better.

0:03:320:03:35

-And up.

0:03:380:03:39

-It's quite sexy, isn't it?

-Do you feel sexy?

0:03:390:03:43

-All the time!

0:03:430:03:45

-Swing it nicely. Concentrate.

0:03:450:03:49

-Again.

0:03:490:03:51

-That was close.

0:03:510:03:53

-All the way to the bottom.

-Another big one.

0:03:560:03:59

-Gosh, I had a fright!

0:04:000:04:03

-On to the next process - sawing.

0:04:030:04:05

-Here's the saw.

0:04:060:04:08

-I'm very hot.

0:04:080:04:09

-You'll be hotter after using this.

0:04:090:04:12

-So a wide stance.

0:04:120:04:14

-Look at that stance, girls!

-That's how you get a man!

0:04:140:04:18

-I had a bit of trouble at first...

0:04:190:04:21

-..but soon I was sawing faster than

-Huw Fash goes through blancmange.

0:04:210:04:26

-Whoo-hoo!

0:04:260:04:28

-Use it a bit more

-and push it further in.

0:04:300:04:33

-Good job you removed your jacket.

0:04:360:04:38

-Yay! Whoo-hoo!

0:04:410:04:44

-How was that?

0:04:450:04:46

-How was that?

-

-Hard work. I much preferred the axe.

0:04:460:04:50

-There must be an easier way.

-I think Andrew has the solution.

0:04:520:04:57

-This, girls,

-is the Hot Saw Rotax 250cc.

0:04:580:05:01

-Hot!

-Look at the effect it has on me!

0:05:040:05:07

-Whoo-hoo!

0:05:160:05:17

-Whoo-hoo, indeed! And hot!

0:05:180:05:21

-The chain alone costs 40, so Andrew

-doesn't let me anywhere near it.

0:05:220:05:27

-I think I should try a smaller one.

0:05:270:05:29

-Here to show me how to use one

-without chopping off my leg...

0:05:290:05:33

-..is Alun Jones,

-a forestry skills coach.

0:05:340:05:36

-Hi, Alun!

0:05:370:05:39

-Hello, how are you, Lisa?

0:05:390:05:41

-I'm dressed for the part

-in these huge shoes.

0:05:410:05:44

-You're going to show me the machine?

0:05:450:05:46

-You're going to show me the machine?

-

-Yes, I'll show you how to use it.

0:05:460:05:48

-Have you used a saw before?

0:05:490:05:51

-Have you used a saw before?

-

-No, I've never used one of these.

0:05:510:05:53

-Make sure the blade is sharp.

0:05:530:05:56

-So you've been cleaning its teeth?

0:05:560:05:58

-So you've been cleaning its teeth?

-

-Yes, both sides of the blade.

0:05:580:06:00

-Let's use it on some timber.

0:06:010:06:02

-Let's use it on some timber.

-

-Great.

0:06:020:06:04

-I'll show you

-how to use it on this tree.

0:06:060:06:09

-That bit pulls, that bit pushes.

0:06:090:06:12

-But first I'll talk you through

-the saw's safety features.

0:06:120:06:16

-Here's the brake - it locks the

-chain swiftly in a 50th of a second.

0:06:160:06:22

-This button here

-switches off the machine.

0:06:220:06:25

-Alun showed me

-how to be safe and responsible...

0:06:250:06:29

-..without injuring myself

-or innocent bystanders.

0:06:290:06:33

-I must admit,

-I was a bit frightened at first...

0:06:330:06:36

-..but I think I hid it

-behind a silly smile.

0:06:360:06:39

-Put the chainsaw on the floor

-with your foot on the rear handle.

0:06:390:06:43

-Hold it with your left hand and

-push the machine into the ground.

0:06:430:06:48

-This is how the pros do it whilst

-taking the weight at all times.

0:06:540:06:59

-Good work, Alun! Is it my turn now?

0:06:590:07:03

-So I pick it up with my left hand

-and hold it with my right.

0:07:030:07:07

-It's heavier than I thought.

0:07:070:07:09

-Let's see how you get on with this.

0:07:100:07:12

-It's quite heavy, Alun.

0:07:120:07:14

-Move your left foot forward.

-That's right.

0:07:140:07:18

-Get a good footing.

0:07:180:07:20

-It's heavier than I thought.

-You're not taking any notice of me.

0:07:200:07:25

-Grab the cord.

0:07:250:07:27

-When you're ready,

-yank the cord sharply upwards.

0:07:270:07:32

-A bit sharper than that.

0:07:330:07:35

-A bit sharper than that.

-

-Oh, dear!

0:07:350:07:37

-Hold it tight.

0:07:480:07:50

-Put your thumb around the handle.

-Hold it up a little. Speed.

0:07:500:07:54

-Go on.

0:07:570:07:58

-Excellent. Well done.

0:08:110:08:12

-Under Alun's coaching,

-I got to grips with it.

0:08:130:08:16

-In competitions, trees must be cut

-two ways - upwards and downwards.

0:08:160:08:21

-I'm taking to it,

-even if I say so myself.

0:08:210:08:24

-Aberystwyth Chainsaw Massacre,

-here I come!

0:08:240:08:27

-Perfect! You're ready

-for the competition now.

0:08:270:08:31

-What's the size of it?

0:08:310:08:33

-It's close to 17 inches.

0:08:340:08:36

-You want to saw one downwards

-and one upwards now. Alright?

0:08:360:08:41

-They use tree trunks like these

-in the big boys' competitions.

0:08:410:08:46

-But don't worry,

-I'll have this sorted in a flash.

0:08:460:08:50

-Starting the thing

-is the hardest part.

0:08:500:08:53

-Yeah!

0:08:530:08:55

-Release the brake.

0:08:570:08:59

-Ready?

0:09:050:09:07

-I did it!

0:09:360:09:38

-Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

0:09:400:09:42

-Look at those. Excellent.

0:09:430:09:45

-Well done.

0:09:450:09:47

-Now I'm starting to feel

-like a lumberjack.

0:09:560:09:58

-I'm trying to be a lumberjack.

0:09:590:10:01

-I've had some coaching but

-it's about time I started working.

0:10:020:10:06

-Dafydd Cadwaladr is a lumberjack

-and a champion axeman.

0:10:070:10:10

-I'd better behave myself.

0:10:110:10:12

-It's great that you've turned up

-in suitable clothing.

0:10:130:10:17

-More suitable

-for a nightclub than a forest.

0:10:180:10:22

-Every man

-has told me the same thing.

0:10:220:10:25

-What's the problem? I'm wearing

-suitable gloves and a coat.

0:10:250:10:30

-You'd last five minutes in the wild.

0:10:300:10:32

-What do you have to offer me?

0:10:330:10:35

-We've a boxful of goodies for you.

0:10:350:10:38

-The first thing is a lid

-and some trousers.

0:10:380:10:41

-A jacket, braces

-and things to protect your nails.

0:10:420:10:46

-I notice you've come prepared.

0:10:470:10:49

-Nice of you to notice!

0:10:490:10:51

-My feet are cold before starting.

0:10:520:10:55

-Thank you, Dafydd.

-Give me two hours.

0:10:550:10:58

-I didn't like to tell him I'm used

-to dressing like this by now.

0:10:580:11:02

-You could've made

-a bit more effort, Dafydd.

0:11:020:11:06

-Wow. Bond!

0:11:060:11:09

-You look like a proper lumberjill!

0:11:090:11:11

-The first priority is your safety.

0:11:120:11:14

-That's the purpose of the gear.

0:11:150:11:17

-To be honest, you'd do very little

-of this work by yourself.

0:11:170:11:21

-It's so dangerous, if something goes

-wrong, the injuries are serious.

0:11:210:11:26

-We operate a buddy system here.

0:11:270:11:29

-I tell you what to do...

0:11:290:11:31

-And I do it.

0:11:320:11:33

-And I do it.

-

-It's simple. I'm your best buddy.

0:11:330:11:36

-It soon becomes clear that Dafydd's

-best buddy was the noisy chainsaw.

0:11:400:11:46

-And my best friends were the

-thousands of branches on the ground.

0:11:460:11:50

-If Dafydd only knew

-how good I was with a chainsaw!

0:11:510:11:55

-I'm like a pack horse!

0:12:010:12:03

-Anyone can run without

-half a forest under his arm!

0:12:040:12:07

-This machine

-turns branches into woodchips.

0:12:090:12:12

-But not the kind of chips I like!

0:12:120:12:15

-I almost

-got turned into Lisachip then!

0:12:180:12:22

-Tree surgery is next.

0:12:360:12:39

-In other words, climbing trees

-and trimming the branches.

0:12:390:12:43

-But I have two problems.

0:12:440:12:45

-I have a fear of heights and I'm not

-having much luck with the equipment.

0:12:460:12:50

-Try this on to begin with.

0:12:500:12:52

-What if I'm too fat for it?

0:12:540:12:56

-I'm totally serious now.

0:12:580:13:00

-I'm too fat for it.

0:13:000:13:02

-How embarrassing! It doesn't fit.

0:13:020:13:05

-Don't make a song and dance,

-just tie it quickly.

0:13:050:13:09

-It clips on the first one.

-There we are.

0:13:090:13:12

-It's like a swing. Put your legs

-against the tree to steady yourself.

0:13:130:13:17

-Just sit there.

-It's just like a swing.

0:13:180:13:21

-I can't do it.

0:13:220:13:24

-That's it. Pull on the rope.

0:13:280:13:30

-That wasn't great.

0:13:320:13:33

-No, I can't do it.

0:13:390:13:42

-Here I am,

-like a little tree squirrel.

0:13:430:13:46

-Without this, you're stuck there.

0:13:480:13:50

-This is really elegant.

0:13:530:13:55

-The following day,

-my entire body is aching.

0:14:020:14:05

-Daf is taking me

-to a customer's house...

0:14:060:14:08

-..where there was

-an important job waiting for us.

0:14:090:14:12

-Surprise, surprise, another tree!

0:14:130:14:15

-But this one's about to be murdered.

0:14:150:14:18

-It's a little fiddly...

0:14:180:14:20

-..due to its location.

0:14:200:14:23

-The tree isn't that big.

0:14:230:14:25

-Because of the proximity

-to the glasshouse...

0:14:260:14:29

-..we'll have to take it down

-in sections.

0:14:290:14:33

-We'll make room

-so that I can climb it.

0:14:330:14:36

-You chop some of these branches

-and we'll see how it goes.

0:14:360:14:40

-Fine.

0:14:400:14:41

-That was a bit

-of a pointless attempt!

0:14:470:14:50

-Try this saw instead.

0:14:500:14:52

-I brought one along for you.

0:14:520:14:54

-Come on, I'm getting bored already.

-I'm too hot.

0:14:580:15:02

-Chop-chop!

0:15:020:15:04

-Shall I move it?

0:15:100:15:12

-Shall I move it?

-

-Yes, put it out of the way.

0:15:120:15:14

-Following the hash I made

-of climbing the tree...

0:15:160:15:19

-..Daf didn't want me

-to attempt it again.

0:15:200:15:23

-But if you want someone to hold

-a rope tightly, I'm your woman.

0:15:230:15:28

-After chopping the branches,

-Daf attached the rope to the tree...

0:15:370:15:41

-..to avoid shattering

-the customer's glasshouse.

0:15:410:15:45

-He's very protective

-of his tomatoes, apparently!

0:15:460:15:49

-I want to see it coming down now.

0:15:500:15:52

-Are you sure

-you know what you're doing?

0:15:520:15:55

-Talk me through the procedure.

0:15:550:15:57

-I'm going to stand here

-while you saw the bottom.

0:15:570:16:01

-Once you let me know you're ready...

0:16:010:16:04

-I'll give you the sign.

0:16:040:16:06

-..I'll give it a good winching

-until it starts moving.

0:16:060:16:10

-Where are you looking

-while you're winching?

0:16:100:16:13

-At the tree.

0:16:140:16:15

-At the tree.

-

-Correct.

0:16:150:16:16

-Keep your beady eye

-on the tree from here.

0:16:160:16:19

-You'll feel the rope becoming slack.

0:16:190:16:23

-So it's on its way down then.

0:16:230:16:25

-You need to be quite...

0:16:250:16:27

-Swift?

0:16:270:16:30

-Yes, and graceful.

0:16:300:16:32

-Move quickly towards the bush

-and we'll see how it goes.

0:16:320:16:39

-OK, fine. I'm ready.

0:16:390:16:41

-I'm all confused now!

0:16:410:16:43

-You're confused?

0:16:430:16:45

-It's the beginning of the end

-for this poor tree!

0:16:470:16:51

-But it's had a nice life

-in Llangefni, as far as I know.

0:16:510:16:55

-If I don't maintain the tension...

0:16:560:16:59

-..the tree could crash

-into next door's living room...

0:16:590:17:03

-..during the Countdown Conundrum,

-so I have to winch wildly...

0:17:040:17:08

-..and scream like a fool.

0:17:100:17:12

-Well done. It's gone.

0:17:120:17:16

-It was a big success, but I can't

-hang around in gardens forever.

0:17:210:17:26

-A lumberjack

-should be out in the forest.

0:17:260:17:29

-Here come the facts.

0:17:290:17:31

-There are two types of forest,

-and here in Bontuchel...

0:17:320:17:35

-..growth is regulated

-in order to preserve wildlife...

0:17:360:17:39

-..like this cute little dormouse.

0:17:400:17:43

-I wouldn't want a chainsaw

-anywhere near that little mite.

0:17:430:17:47

-I've come to the evergreen Clocaenog

-Forest to fell large trees.

0:17:470:17:52

-I've hitched a lift

-in Irwin Ellis's van.

0:17:520:17:55

-It's pretty here, Irwin.

0:17:550:17:57

-It's pretty here, Irwin.

-

-Yes, it is. There's some snow too.

0:17:570:18:00

-How long

-have you worked in forestry?

0:18:000:18:04

-38 years.

0:18:040:18:06

-What's your favourite tree?

0:18:060:18:08

-Oak.

0:18:090:18:10

-Oak trees have character...

0:18:100:18:14

-..and they look friendly.

0:18:140:18:16

-But these are like this - eek!

0:18:170:18:19

-These trees are used to make paper,

-building materials...

0:18:200:18:24

-..and all kinds of things.

0:18:240:18:26

-It's an important place but I want

-to know where the big machines are.

0:18:260:18:31

-Right then, Hefin, what on earth

-is this beast behind us?

0:18:440:18:50

-This is

-the John Deere 1470e Harvester.

0:18:510:18:54

-It fells trees and chops

-the wood into the lengths required.

0:18:540:18:58

-Into different lengths?

0:18:590:19:00

-Into different lengths?

-

-Yes.

0:19:000:19:02

-So you cut that with the chainsaw?

-Can I come with you?

0:19:020:19:06

-No problem.

0:19:060:19:08

-Off we go then.

0:19:080:19:10

-Ooh, gosh!

-It's hard enough getting inside.

0:19:130:19:16

-What do I hold?

0:19:170:19:19

-This? You're not much help, Hefin.

0:19:190:19:22

-I haven't done this before.

-Oh, my gosh...!

0:19:220:19:25

-Are you in?

0:19:330:19:34

-Are you in?

-

-Yes, I'm in.

0:19:340:19:36

-It's a tight squeeze in here.

0:19:360:19:38

-THEY BOTH GIGGLE

0:19:440:19:46

-My knee's stuck!

0:19:470:19:49

-You'll have to open the door.

0:19:510:19:53

-Open the door, Hefin.

0:19:530:19:55

-I'm stuck!

0:20:020:20:04

-You're useless, Hefin.

-I'm back in the same spot again.

0:20:060:20:10

-Lift that up.

0:20:100:20:12

-Can I stand here

-or do you need those buttons?

0:20:140:20:17

-Yes, I need those.

0:20:170:20:19

-Yes, I need those.

-

-I've stood on something.

0:20:190:20:21

-What if...?

0:20:210:20:24

-Like that?

0:20:280:20:29

-Like that?

-

-OK?

0:20:290:20:31

-Don't pull it too hard.

-I'm right next to it.

0:20:310:20:34

-Oh, goodness me!

0:20:360:20:37

-What's happening here?

-How does it move?

0:20:380:20:41

-Open the throttle,

-put it into gear and off it goes.

0:20:430:20:46

-It's not a very smooth ride.

0:20:470:20:49

-You get used to it.

0:20:490:20:51

-Cool!

0:20:580:21:00

-It gets a good grip of it

-and then...

0:21:020:21:04

-Oh, my gosh!

0:21:050:21:07

-That's amazing.

0:21:090:21:11

-How come the tree

-doesn't fall back on top of us?

0:21:110:21:16

-Or does it happen occasionally?

0:21:160:21:18

-Or does it happen occasionally?

-

-It can happen sometimes.

0:21:180:21:20

-I can't say it never has.

0:21:200:21:22

-How long have you been doing this?

0:21:220:21:25

-40 years.

0:21:250:21:27

-Do you enjoy it?

0:21:270:21:29

-Do you enjoy it?

-

-Well, it's too late to change now.

0:21:290:21:32

-It's never too late.

0:21:320:21:34

-After all the hysterics

-of getting into the cab...

0:21:430:21:46

-..I persuaded Hefin to let me play

-with this wild machine.

0:21:470:21:51

-Does my hair look OK?

0:21:510:21:53

-How did you get back there?

0:21:530:21:56

-I must be thinner.

0:21:560:21:57

-I must be thinner.

-

-You must be.

0:21:570:21:59

-The seat's going up and down now.

0:22:020:22:05

-Lift it again.

0:22:050:22:07

-The chair's rising now.

0:22:080:22:10

-I'll stop it there.

0:22:100:22:12

-Pull the lever towards you.

-Use that to move it left.

0:22:180:22:22

-And then press "saw"?

0:22:260:22:27

-And then press "saw"?

-

-Yes, that's it.

0:22:270:22:29

-Same again?

0:22:290:22:31

-Getting in was bad enough

-but now I have to get out.

0:22:340:22:37

-Thanks for all your help, Hefin.

-You're being really helpful.

0:22:370:22:42

-Do you know what...? Ooh!

0:22:420:22:44

-I shouldn't have worn disco pants!

0:22:440:22:47

-Thanks for letting me have a go.

-I really enjoyed myself.

0:22:470:22:51

-Was I any good?

-I felt as if I was really good.

0:22:510:22:54

-You started to improve.

0:22:540:22:56

-You started to improve.

-

-It's really muddy here.

0:22:560:22:58

-I've enjoyed myself as a lumberjack.

0:23:030:23:06

-I've learnt how to use a chainsaw.

0:23:080:23:10

-I've got into a few tight squeezes

-with handsome men.

0:23:150:23:18

-And I've kept fit. What fun!
