Fell the Tree

What happens here

Using a powerful chainsaw, first make a directional notch (face cut) on the side of the tree where it is intended to fall. This involves two cuts: an angled cut and a horizontal cut that meets the angled cut, removing a wedge of wood. Next, make a felling cut (back cut) from the opposite side, slightly above the horizontal cut of the notch, cutting towards the notch. Monitor the tree's movement closely. Due to the tree being dead, it may fall sooner than a live tree. As the tree falls, quickly move to your pre-planned escape path. Once the tree is on the ground, some parts, especially those that hit the ground forcefully, may split or become unusable for milling. The creator uses a Stihl MS 661 chainsaw for this task, which is a large and powerful saw suitable for big trees.
