The climber should have supported himself off a higher limb instead of just a flip line around the stem he was cutting.
The limbs being removed should have been controlled with ropes by the groundie as opposed to holding the saw in one hand and the limb with the other. Using a chainsaw with one should be an absolute last resort.
You should never EVER stand under the load when you are cutting the trunk as was seen starting at 3.00.
That should have been sectioned down. You make a point of saying how snappy willow is yet you risk dropping almost the whole thing onto that structure when it would've been no trouble to rope in above and chog it.
Also he's stood in the wrong place as he make his final felling cut. If it dropped - nowhere to go.
I'm fed up of people posting in this 'how to' category with obvious shortcomings in expertise. Young inexperienced climbers may be led to think these are the correct techniques.
@sethgill01 Oh sorry, I didn't realise in order to have an opinion you must first post a video. Some of us actually work when we're on a job rather than making shoddy 'how to' videos which get - wow! 904 views. Sorry again for not kissing your ass and actually pointing out that you're not as good as you think you are. And before you say it, I never said I was an expert but I don't pretend to be unlike you.
@casparbush casper! 904 more views than your site! We are that shit hot I can afford to pay someone to record videos to show wanabees like you how the real tree surgeons do it..Before you say it we are experts! Keep watching you might learn!
Nice. I was going to ask what the sweeping cut was for. Specific to a directional fell I suppose, because of the direction the limb fall off the stump?
yeah the sweeping cut is to prevent the bark tearing down the remaining tree stump- its good practice, willow, poplar and elm trees are species more suseptable to tearing like this.
A few comments.

Again the expert advice from casper who has no videos but feels fit to comment on everyone else’s.
