What happens here
The video begins with the felling of smaller pine trees using a chainsaw. The operator performs a face cut, which is a directional cut that creates a hinge, followed by a back cut on the opposite side. This allows the tree to fall safely in the intended direction. This segment highlights manual felling techniques for trees that can be brought down without mechanical assistance.
Goal: Fell smaller or less problematic trees using a chainsaw
