Very informative beginning with the basic. Should save some injuries

Great, but it would have been even more helpful to show what was actually being done with chainsaw and lever round the other side of the tree!

would have liked to see any little techniques used to make sure that you cut parallel to the sink cut when cuttin the back cut?

This video should have stated and practised that you NEVER walk / stand directly behind a hung tree. This is a serious and dangerous procedure, which should only be attempted by qualified professionals. afag guide 302
