Interesting videos.
I presume you’re in the states?
Not sure I’d recommend a Chinese copied top handled chainsaw to domestic firewood users...[emoji848]
Also are those jogging trousers/sweatpants you’re wearing?

Welcome to the forum

 

With the dead tree video, if the tree is hung up, it's safer to roll it out in one piece instead of cutting bits off the bottom.

I'm in Europe, Estonia.

I'v been felling trees, cutting firewood and logging for nearly a decade now. I spend most of my winter in the woods, so i'm comfortable with any saw. I use the chinise top handle when brush/trees are too big for a clearing saw.

 

Those are some random pants, i'm a big boy so i haven't found a pair of safety pants that could fit me comfortably.

I agree but hung up trees like to get hung up between branches/crotch and it'll never come down by rolling.

I wouldn't call my technique dangerous, if you know what you're  doing.

Each to their own mate. You can clearly use a saw, didnt want less experienced people to think that was the text book way.
