Useful video that quickly convinced me I need to call a professional. Probably saved my life, at least a leg.

[@storispinner]

This was one of your most helpful videos yet - THANK YOU!

[@patriotarborist711]

these Stihl gloves are my favorite glove to do groundwork, and I have tried them ALL

[@ED-es2qv]

Thanks. Been sawing for decades and still got some good tips.

[@Brian-Outdoors]

Great video. Thanks for posting it.

For the spring pole cut I would not recommend making parallel cuts along the tension side. Small parallel cuts along the compression side eliminates the risk of the wood springing back toward the chainsaw (which occurred in the video)

[@terryfinley7760]

I was getting my bar caught in almost every limb today small limbs , great video. Made sense. Straight forward… now how do I get a huge tree that’s leaning toward my house in an awkward way to fall a different direction? … without a tree service of coarse

[@blingbling574]

Should have used the wedges once. Nearly ripped my saw in half trying to pull it out, good thing it was under warranty.
