Does anyone know of any videos on felling, particularly the safety aspects, in a style similar to "An Axe To Grind"? I really enjoyed that video, but was disappointed to see there was no information on properly felling with an axe and how to keep yourself safe when using the tool.

Thanks
 
There are a good number of videos from the US Forestry Service on Youtube, with topics like felling and sawing.

Thanks guys this info was great. Never new I didnt know so much about the safety of being a a forester. Now i KNOW that i dont know much. that's a good start. The first step in fixing a problem is to admit that you have one. And, Thanks for reading!
 
I believe Mors Kochanski does a good overview of felling safety in his Bushcraft book.
 
Depending on what you're felling, you should probably only be using an axe for the undercut. A saw for the backcut is safest. You give up a lot of directional control if you only use an axe.
