What happens here
With the logs measured and marked, the presenter proceeds to cut them using his Husqvarna chainsaw. He demonstrates the cutting process, emphasizing the importance of understanding log tension and the potential for kickback. He recounts an instance where the saw tried to kick back due to the log splitting, prompting him to adjust his cutting technique by going underneath the log to finish the cut. This highlights the crucial safety consideration of adapting to the log's dynamics to prevent pinching or dangerous reactions from the wood. All cuts are made with full safety gear on.
Goal: Cut the fallen trees into marked lengths, being mindful of safety and log tension
