What happens here

This project demonstrates the process of felling a tree using a chainsaw, including assessing the tree's lean, setting a target for its fall, making precise face and back cuts, and finally bucking the fallen trunk into smaller logs. Safety precautions are emphasized through the use of personal protective equipment.

Against my better judgment, I'm gonna cut this tree without uh um [laughter] without two saws. Let's see how stupid this goes. Told you it's got to lean. It's leaning this way. All right, I'm going to lay a stick down here. I'm going to try to drop it right dead on that stick. This is my stick and right there. That's the way I want that tree to fall. ALL RIGHT, we got her on the ground. Man, that thing was uh a little difficult to notch. For those of you who are wondering about my preciseness of dropping this tree, I laid that piece right there. Oh, we were a few feet off.
