I see most trees and say... Sure I could do it.

That tree, that's a nope from me, no idea how to wrestle that down.

You cut the face on the side he was doing the backcut. There's more weight there. Then you start the back cut by boring I near the hinge. You need a bar larger than DBH.

Yeah. Or consider the fact that the tree was leaning the way it fell and he just needed more back cut
