Don't quit your day job! Lol I love when homeowners think "I can do that!" Might get lucky once or twice, but sooner or later...

Wow.. this is meant to be a how to video...more like a what not to do. back cut is only suppose to .5-1" above the bottom of the notch. Lucky it didn't end up as a barberchair. Angled back cuts...doesn't save tree from felling back. Try to put a wedge in there if needed.. Instead of lifting the curf it will push more....

Nice protective gear, nice cut ?!?!? You're not far away from a chainsaw accident!

2:58 you straddle a branch, which appears to be under tension, then cut into it. Was this an attempt at a redneck VASECTOMY???

Showboating. Bloody reckless but THANKS! This was a fantastic teaching tool! We learnt that you don't need to use PPE to cut down a tree. Cheers.

Allen: You seem like a nice guy, but you're going to get yourself killed or paralyzed by cutting like that.........
1) no PPE
2) your cutting prodedure and techniques are totally wrong.
**BUT I have to say, for an uninformed and unknowledgable sawyer, you DID LOOK UP, and USED YOUR ESCAPE ROUTE (although a poor escape route) and that's a good thing. It saved you this time.
"Gravity.....It's the law."
its a common mistake to think that by angling your back cut downwards it will keep the tree from falling backwads. that is not true. the way wood splits down the grain means, if the tree is gonna fall backwads it will just split the stump and the tree will fall where it wants to. i hope you can pick up the book "to fell a tree"
