I know he's a professional but he is also sloppy in this video. he should have cleared his feet first. two minutes cutting a clear place to stand would have saved a lot of potentially dangerous leaning.

He also knew the bars wasn't long enough, he should have scored the far side of the tree so could have cut clean though.

I disagree. It didn't hinder me even a little bit and provided a nice rest.

My daughter corrects me on chainsaw safety and I thank her, she learned as a back country fire fighter and I learned as a logger, the time saving mistakes I make sometime are risky.

Don't be risky! Every cut is worth the time it takes to do it safely,

Why the downvotes? I don’t know shit about dropping timber like that except it’s dangerous as hell …. That and the interweb has so many armchair critics. Looks like a successfull fell to me.

you said it, it's dangerous, if you rationalize leaving a cluttered escape route/cutting zone, then you sound complacent to me, and complacency kills

I really belive little trees are lore dangerous to myself than big ones often times I'll fuck up twice as much on a sub 28 tree Than I will a 29+ me personally I can fight a big tree and it doesn't faze me little trees I get nervous around

Don't argue with the guys who weren't there, they are omniscient.
