They sent you an email to the address that’s on the YouTube account. And that email will be a link to Appeal. Reply to it that you’ve read their terms of service and there’s nothing in your videos that violate the agreement. Tell them it’s videos of you cutting firewood and you use the account to share the videos with your friends and that your channel either is or isn't safe for children
I did what Kevin said. It seems like it worked! The notice was in my gmail account which I rarely use. The form asked for, among other things, my YouTube channel URL, and that’s sort of unavailable... so, I just used the URL of one of the videos that I had copied for posting in this thread. Figured this might help if yinnz get terminated...

Most stock saws will cut through your pants/chaps a little before it stops if you’re full throttle, depending on what they’re rated at. We have a minimum standard for protection rating here, 3600 ft/min and full wrap calf protection. I’m not familiar with with standards south of the border so I’m not sure how you guys regulate it.

From our testing pants rated at 3600 ft/min and a saw running at 13000 rpm full throttle will consistently cut through your pants with a 1” cut, just reducing the severity not stopping it completely. The Pfanner Ventilation that he cut first are rated at 20m/s (just over 3900 ft/min) and work quite well, we always encourage guys to buy the best gear they can, it makes a difference.
I just heard back from our R&D/Standards department, as follows:
From some of the comments that have been made recently on this blog about chainspeeds under the different standards, there may be some misunderstanding which would be good to attempt to clarify.



Firstly as to North American standards vs European standards: Chainspeeds are given in ft/min for Nth America and metres/sec for Europe. While mathematically, 20 m/s equates to approx 3900 ft/min, the 2 standards are completely different in their methods, so a 20 m/s test result under the European standard, EN381, does NOT automatically give a 3900 ft/min when tested according to F1414, the ASTM standard. The biggest difference is that the EN381 test is done with the power off when dropped into the test specimen whereas the F1414 test keeps the power on. There are a number of other differences as well but this alone renders any chainspeed comparison null and void!



The other misunderstanding is the Worksafe BC standard with the number 3600 ft/min that is quoted. There is a very important piece of information that follows that number, that is never quoted, and that is “when tested according to the WorksafeBC test method”. This test facility was actually discontinued about 10 years ago! An alternative for passing the Worksafe BC standard is by using the F1414 test method at 3300 ft/min. Once again, there is one subtle difference between the 2 test methods making the F1414 test a more rigorous test, which is recognised by the lower chainspeed pass rate. So Clogger products, though rated at 3500 ft/min, definitely comply with the Worksafe BC standard.

Hope that helps
