To date I've only bucked logs cantilevered, supported at one end only. I need to learn proper technique for bucking a log supported at both ends and often on a slope. This diagram shows the situation with small implying the log diameter less than the bar length, not small as in not dangerous.
The second diagram shows the cut sequence:
My Question:
I'll be carrying the saw a mile or more from my vehicle at 12,000 feet, so I'll be bringing just the chainsaw and a small hand saw, no other tools.
Thanks

My Question:
- Since the last cut is made from the bottom, what happens when the log drops? Seems it would knock the saw from your grip?
