Fell the First Poplar Tree

What happens here

The presenter uses the chainsaw to fell the first large poplar tree. He first makes a 'notch cut' (directional cut) on the side where the tree is intended to fall. Following this, a 'back cut' is made on the opposite side, slightly above the notch. A felling wedge is inserted into the back cut and struck with a sledgehammer, pushing the tree over and causing it to fall cleanly onto the ground. Aerial footage captures the entire felling process, confirming the successful directional fall.

Goal: The first poplar tree is felled using precise chainsaw cuts, including a notch cut and a back cut, allowing the tree to fall safely in the intended direction.
