Dont cry, just do it
Sure looks like a lot of dicking around in that video to cut down a easy tree.

Seems like a lot if people tend to over think a simple straight forward drop

Agreed.
I cry foul!
What experience woodcutter uses a ball peen hammer to set wedges; particularly using an awkward elbow-swing. Looks like another Tim Ard/Progressive farmer video, except that he at least uses an axe to set his wedges.
I'm getting tired of seeing so-called pro's telling us how to cut down teeny little trees. At least Murphy's videos are of real tree removal, rather than some dinky tree that was slaughtered to help make a video.

There is many vids out there like that, guys giving advice on something the have no real clue. There is this one guy, put vids up all the time. Is just a tool, but a nice guy. If you comment on anything about him not doing it right or safe, he deletes it right away. Search on YouTube "How to cut down a tree" and you will find thousands. Some are real good, most are pathetic. The thing that always makes me laugh, like u guys said above,they always have a way of over complicating something very simple for dramatic effect. They always come up with some new notch. I have used the traditional's from day one and they have never failed me yet. Sharp saw, proper cut, never fails. As far as "controlling the bounce",if it is close to a structure, sometimes I will put in a back up "just in case", holding the but end close to the stump. Nothing wrong with that.
