this is good ignore the haters.

If you have a day job, don't loose it…… It took you over 6 minutes (the time on your youtube video) to cut that little stick… Come-on over to Canada, and see some real trees, and I'll show you how to cut them down…. Jim…

That size of a tree wont need a notch or hinch or backcut or whatever,, just some tooth or fingernails 😀

My tree/saw is bigger than yours!  Haha, there is a lot of compensating going on here.

as much as people are hating on this for it being a small tree, i've seen trees that size barber chair and almost really mess people up, its good to know how to do it safely, although with a pie cut that small if it were a leaner it could still barber chair with no bore cut. 

I cut a lot of firewood and face a lot of hung up trees that are already at a 45 degree angle hung up (Usually blow overs do this aka partially uprooted. For those I make a top and bottom cut. Then I take my truck with my biggest chain and yank perpendicular to twist it. Its been my safest and easiest way if you can get a truck to the location. The chain is also about fifty feet. Just always be safe and when in doubt call a professional.

Not sure you should be walking in front of it seeing as your video title says "safety first"!

In my profile pic you can see tall pine approx. 60 feet by 2 foot dia. leaning on two  other tall pine trees towards the back roof of my house. question can I cut top side  approx. 1/3 up the tree  ?  

Good info. Thanks.

I would rather be called a hater than stupid like you. This guy would go broke cutting wood for a living.
