Absolute MASSIVE thank you to my dude zach (Arbor Tech). dropped what he was doing and raced over.
What happens here
The tree feller begins making cuts into the base of the tree trunk with the chainsaw. This involves making a directional notch (undercut) on the side where the tree is intended to fall, and then a felling cut on the opposite side to meet the notch and release the tree. The cuts are made carefully and strategically to control the direction of the fall.
Goal: Create controlled cuts to guide the tree's fall.
