I hope I get this right!! Felling and busting a big hickory tree!
What happens here
Wearing full safety gear (helmet, face shield, hearing protection, chainsaw chaps, gloves), the presenter uses the Stihl MS 661 chainsaw to fell the hickory tree. He first makes a directional notch on the side facing the intended fall, then proceeds with the back cut on the opposite side. Once the tree begins to fall, he quickly moves along the pre-planned escape route. The tree falls precisely into the designated area, aligning with a small log placed as a marker.
Goal: Successfully and safely fell the tree into the desired landing zone.
