You ve got a section above your lanyard that you re cutting in 2 pieces.
I reach up and push with my left hand and cut through and push piece off.
I do the same with the second
You do your tech and make 2 cuts.
You ve still got 2 pieces sitting there and I ve got none.
I am moving down to the next section (let the saw go) with the saw on my right hip running.
You are pushing one piece off and you have let the saw go (running) in the cut and then move down to next section.
It would be close. Funny thing is your technique that got so much bad press is probably safer than mine.
PS To give my credentials that you will ask for in advance as you have done thru thread. Been chunking wood out for 38 or more years (along with the rest of the job). Done all the work in tree by myself w a gm and still do. Never had an accident or insur claim either. Refreshing old thread based in honesty for a change.
Also.
The interesting part comes when you can no longer run the saw thru the piece because it is too heavy. This is where my technique of cutting down on a slant and stop just before pinch and insert 2 twigs in cut where you would put wedges and then finish cut pushing (sliding) piece off.
These techniques by both of us are only for the vastly experienced which do not include most of those objecting to them.
