Pick a day and I'll run you through a course, I need to run a few tanks through the new saw anyway.

OP,
You've got work ethic & determination, I'll give you that.

But this book, read it, let it sink in, and also take #TheJollyLogger up on his offer if even remotely close.
Wrong work Habits can be corrected, but poor work ethics are hard to overcome.

He's only about an hour away. I picked up a 261 cm a while back and haven't even run 5 tanks through it. It'd be fun.
The probability of getting hurt is like any probability. If you follow safe work practices the probability is very low, the more dangerous the work practices the higher the probability. However, probabilities are only an indication of the likelihood of an event (in this case an injury) over a large number of activities. It cannot guarantee what will happen on the next activity. So when you say you've done this without incident for 16 years, is no assurance of what will happen the next time.
If you flip a coin 1000 times and it comes up head each time, the probability of getting a head or tail on the next flip is still 50/50. The law of averages says it will eventually get a tail, but no indication which time.

And don't tell me I don't know how those odds play out...
The video reminds me of this one Cutting a tree that's hung in another tree is very dangerous. Luckily no one was hurt.

Interesting analogy, but if you could influence the outcome of the coin toss by using reason and experience the odds change, don't they?

I'm taking flak like a WWII bomber over Ploeste! I'm really glad I didn't post my rattlesnake video. Talking about 20/20 hindsight...

Mr. Fritz, you are a brave man for posting that video here sir. Please take Jolly up on his offer........he might introduce you to a wedge. In the best of times that would be an annoying tree to get down......but I'd bet some of these guys can do it in their sleep. I'm no tree guy, just a hack with some porting tools, so I pay close attention to these folks. I hope you will too.
Glad you weren't hurt sir.
Glad you weren't hurt sir.
The flaw in your argument is your video. It didn't help your case. 16 years of bad habits isn't necessarily experience.
It seemed at any moment something bad was going to happen.
Glad it worked out well in the end.
JollyLogger's offer is very generous.

Go saw with JollyLogger!!! Don't think about it or consider it, just go do it. You'll learn more on a day than in the last 16 years.
Also, buy chaps and a helmet. Grand total $160. A tiny fraction of a single hospital visit.

Dude, I'm glad you're safe and posted the video.
Where i'm from we call that vertical bucking. If you're lucky, the wood falls into a neat pile.
If you're not, we read about you elsewhere.

OMG! That was painful! I'm no professional at all, and I'm not judging too much, but why didn't you use the come along to release the first chainsaw instead of making two, more dangerous cuts. Also, let the motor do something.
