What happens here

After scouting, the narrator puts on personal protective equipment (safety glasses, a safety helmet with ear protection and a face shield). He retrieves a Stihl MSA 220 TC electric top-handled chainsaw, noting its power despite being electric. The task involves cutting down small gum trees and saplings along the newly planned path. These trees are roughly 4-6 inches in diameter and can be easily felled with the chainsaw. The narrator makes a point of leaving stumps about 6-8 inches high, explaining that this allows him to see them later when using a brush hog or mower, preventing damage to the equipment's blades.

Goal: Clear small trees and saplings to prepare the path.
