    wrap handle would have made "attempting to cut the humboldt" so much easier.

    He's demonstrating he is an idiot. Isn't it obvious?

    If I used a saw like that all day my arms would fall off! Using the top of the bar like that puts all the work on the operator. What a bafoon!

    I try not to pick on others because I know I make some bonehead moves every now and then, but that was hard to watch, especially with such a capable chainsaw.

    The bottom side was probably dull so he turned it over to use the "sharp side"... LOL

    The first few trees I dropped weren't so good, but I've got a lot better even without GOL training.

    I wonder what his AS handle is

    I'm far from a flawless amateur, but I have no clue what one could plausibly be thinking to try and cut a face like that.

    The tree had center rot, like a lot of big, dead ash do, and there was very little to no hinge wood. Yikes.

    Also, I doubt that's a 48" tree.

    This is what a 40" ash looks like, and this almost looks bigger to me (I'm about 6'2" with my boots and cleats on, for reference).



    With hingewood even

    All that time the sun was on the camera I thought was nap time - I think he'd find it easier to turn the saw over, use the dogs. Painfull to watch is right.
