Well before we all get into bashing Streyken for what we think he should or shouldn't do OH&S wise,
lets just admit what we actually do on the job ourselves. (I've already said in the one handing thread that I do it even though I know there's other safer methods.) I think that the vid shows very clearly a very specific application of that technique used on a specific tree species. We don't buck fire wood here, its 22'C even in winter! The only pine species I've worked on are in state forestry and that was manual felling of dangerous trees impossible to harvest mechanically, I have done some pines down the Gold Coast way but they were babies compared to the trees Streyken is cutting.
I won't be adopting that technique,
but I can absolutely understand why you use it, what I will say is that you make my loud complaints about carry a MS260 up the tree look very pathetic, I would struggle to be able to one hand your saw with that bar even if I did want to, let alone get each cut so level.
I don't have any video of my cutting, and its unlikely that I'll get any, photos are as good as I can do, so when I've got some I'll post them and you can see my methods/faults an all. Till then you'll just have to trust what I say is fact...thanks for posting the vid mate.
