Possibly a stupid question, but then it's never stopped me.... 

 

... Choke a sling? 

Pass it around the stem and then through its self, pull on the end you passed through - the harder you pull he tighter it will get. 
 

A slip knot i guess, I have always known it a choking it off.

My normal method is somewhat messy and being a hobbyist, I'd like to get the opinions of those in the know. 

 

How would you tackle this?

I took down a few today that were similar, but Sitka, and fatter than my 16" bar.

As can be seen in the shot of the butt looking "up" the tree on the ground, that was the saw maxed out.

Apart from a chainsaw, a winch is also wile handy.

A hard hat can also be a good idea!

Specially if cutting away other leaning but supporting trees.
