I messed up!!Felling and prepping big oak for Sawmill

What happens here

The presenter introduces the task of felling a large red oak tree (approximately 45-50 feet tall, 28 inches in diameter) using an Echo Timberwolf CS-590 chainsaw. Before commencing, the importance of safety is emphasized, showcasing essential gear: chainsaw chaps, Hi-X chainsaw safety boots, and an Echo safety helmet with earmuffs and a face shield. The presenter also highlights the presence of 'widow makers' (hanging limbs) in the tree, stressing the need for caution. Two other chainsaws are shown as backups and for limbing: an Echo top-handled DCS-2500T brushless battery chainsaw and a Stihl MS 661 gas-powered chainsaw.

Goal: Begin by introducing the task of felling a large red oak tree and gathering the necessary chainsaws and critical safety equipment to ensure a safe working environment.
