What's the correct method to take this hung tree down?

[Unframed Dave]

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.

Why not fell the supporting tree? 

Because you're underneath the hanger

Apologies folks, I am still getting used to using the camera on my phone, and transferring them to this forum on this laptop.

Currently by sending them to my Gmail account and then downloading to "click and drag", but there must be a better way.

I also have real difficulty in getting them to appear in the correct order!

So in the meantime younz can be my guinea pigs.

P.S.

Perhaps wor daughter can enlighten her ould Da to morrow.

EDIT

Thanks Woody, got that sussed, I hope.

You should be able to take a photo with phone and save to Google photos  which can them see on Google photos on laptop, find it great go to look at jobs and take photos and they go to google photos so when pricing just use laptop and can look at photos with out looking at phone as well.

See a few more, the two trees were leaning at this angle before I cut them, and I got them cut right through without nipping the bar.

Call me a self taught idiot-savant. Btw.  I believe I am at least 1/2 right in that assertion.

P.S.

The barber chair was quite deliberate, tis only for firewood and I did not dare risk mouthing it, it behaved as I expected and I was well back before it let go after a wee tickle with the saw at arm's length, the beauty of a nimble  wee 026!

I kinda subscribe to the Wartime RAF saying that a good landing is one you walk away from.

Cheers

Complicated but interesting way

 

 

Think it requires some precision with the cuts,

Interesting, especially since I have "jackknifed" a few down, as demonstrated but without a rope.

Again I had no idea it was an approved method.

I always have a cleared escape route, and I have the luxury of only cutting trees for a hobby, so sometimes study up, walk away and come back another day to study again, before committing.

Cheers.

The technique in that video is kind of what I've been doing so far. Not as tidy, admittedly.
