I have the same saw, wrap handle and all, with a 28" bar so i don't need to bend over when I am bucking logs. After using it for a couple of hours the MS261 saw feels like a toy.

I’d go for a 3/8 non safety chain you’ll love the performance 👍👊

Where is nogs bar 😂

First

Might be a good idea to downsize a saw to your skill level & I would take some basic chainsaw lessons/classes don't take this as a negative comment, constructive criticism at the most! you put yourself in a lot of dangerous predicaments! You can't notice unless you're watching yourself back on video. I been around for a while watching your videos, I'm acclimating with you.

I wanted to say the same. I'm not a chainsaw expert, but I believe you really tried to let the saw slip in to your leg.

@@poppygoatshomestead The chainsaw pulls at the under side. If your blade gets stuck with the underside, your chainsaw pulls itself to the tree and stops at the engine. If you get stuck while cutting with the upside, the saw pushes you with the saw out of the log. If the saw is out of the log it can cut everything in it's path, including your leg. Also, the tip of your saw is the part that doesn't pull and push, but rather kicks; you want to avoid cutting with that. Besides the warning, I want to thank you for your content and entertainment. I have been following you for many years and saw you grow from an small youtuber to a big channel and after that the downfall to a small channel again. Thank you for your hard work and stay save!

@@rik7373 my man, I would like to thank you for your concern, and I am glad that my years of experience on the tube has taught me to handle comments gently, which lead to your comment here. What an awesome thing to read, and so much care. Thank you. I want you to know that I always do my best to stand at 45 degrees, or spread. I have actually studied chainsawing for a long time and have used my other saw for at least 7 years. Although I like to make creative film, sometimes it doesnt tend to make film seem like everything is safe. Please be assured there are moments you need to use the tip of the chainsaw when bucking close to the ground, and one has to be ready for the kick, and never lazy. A lot of thought always goes into what I am doing, and I think thats why I have been successful.. BUT, ALWAYS a student, and never a master, I take all advice and absorb it to be as helpful as possible. Thank you for caring.

Jem sure does a good job with That BIG wood 🪵 👏 I'm LOVING the new content.. You guys are doing such a great Job.. I'd LOVE to come visit the dome for a week.. Got an application I can fill out
