Whoever taught this man how to drive a wedge, needs to be fired.
I think I figured it out. If you look at when he puts his maul down at 1:25 and walks off he gives it away, Pretty obvious he's stoned on something.

I did manage to get the bar out, but I"m sure it's bent. The chain is still in there. I"m not sure why I thought I could cut this particular area without it pinching because the way the limb was, I knew it was going to. WTF? I actually had some cinder blocks nearby and was thinking of using them at some point to hold some areas, but I didn't' for this particular limb. No idea what I was thinking, but maybe it was God's way of telling me I need a few more pointers before I hurt myself, lol.
Get yourself a cant hook/ lever:

I used it on this Douglas Fir log and it worked great.
You need to find a friend with a tractor and front end loader; wrap a chain and lift up and your saw is free. As far as the new saw is concerned, you definitely need a new one, the bar and the saw are custom fit at the factory. Trying to use another bar with your saw would be dangerous Make sure your wife sees this post before she lets you go back into the woods with that dangerous saw!!HI, I have a tree that fell during a storm. I can cut most of it I think without issue, though I think I might have to use a car jack or something because I did get my bar trapped in one spot, but...I'll figure that out-but suggestions welcomed. My big question is cutting the trunk. It's about 20 inches in diameter. What do I do when I get close to the ground. The trunk is on the ground and there is no way I see to raise it up. Do I just get as low as I can and use some swinging of an ax? I"m buying a new chain saw (caught bar was great excuse) and I don't want to do any damage. Would really hate to have to hire someone to cut that, but I will if I have to.
Thanks
Here is a video for you to watch...take note of the use of the bucking wedges...this will keep your saw from getting pinched.Its not hard to do at all.
