No doubt you've got what it takes.

The right gear and techniques makes it easier, safer and faster which no doubt you'd gravitate towards if do this work enough.
 
Thanks brother. I got a couple more posts I'm kind of dragging them out cuz I think you guys are pretty cool and I know I won't run across another tree for a while but if and when I do this is going to be my new record of it. and hopefully I'll just keep trying to learn a long away.
 
With respect, get some instruction/experience somewhere, you're obviously keen and a go'er but it might save your life.

From the stump it appears the tree sat on the bar and you had to get a wedge in there to free it ?

The front cut is nearly right thru' the tree, that isn't the best way to be honest.

Read up on the falling threads here, you'll see 30 - 40% of diameter mentioned regularly.
 
No wedge. It was close though my saw slowed a little toward the end. My slice told the story through the rings of stoping 3/4 through the center ring.
 
Youll see and hear that old saw slow a few times in the video. But the saw has lost some gumption in the last few years i feel. Its 10 years old.
 
Thats good advice i always guessed just past half. And i wanted to make shure my bar would go through in one cut. My slice i had to cut both sides of the tree.
