Felling a hung up tree – safety first

In part 3 David Rossney makes chainsaw cuts to a tree so it falls where he wants. He also deals with a common problem, a "hung up" tree, where the surrounding trees stop it falling as planned. http://woodlands.co.uk

can you make a video showing a dog cut please?
Again thanks for great information.
that was at small tree i started felling those trees when i was 12 year old not lieing. im felling big oaks now and im 16 years old
Holy smokes…took two naps during this video! Not too terribly bad tho…seen worse! This guy has skill, guess it's the video making portion that's slowing him down. I would have around 20 trees on the ground in that time frame!
@lazlow69 It's a "felling lever", or "breaking bar".
In reply to the comments below, he's going slowly for the video. I trained with this guy (David Rossney, of Esus Forestry), and he's really good at taking you slowly through all the steps so you understand what to do. I've seen him work at full speed, and he's fast!
And about tree size, he was doing a small one for demonstration purposes, as he only had a short time during the day. He trains and assesses people on all sizes of tree.
Is that mesh facemask considred proper PPE.. not in the states.. glasses are a must
you also can use the chain saw to get it down, but it needs a better skill the way this guy is doing is for him more safe….
@Travis7114 glasses tend to hurt the tops of your ears from the ear defenders inward pressure after an hour or two of wearing them.
Strangely compelling.
Thanks for showing how it can be done in a calm and controlled manner. I didn't realise there was so much to it!
