That's not meaningfully different from knowing nothing at all. I repeat, whoever cut that
obviously knows nothing at all about felling a tree. Look at the picture again: there's one cut.

Just one.

One horizontal cut about 90% of the way through the trunk, before the tree snapped off and
fell in the direction it would obviously fall.

You're *supposed* to notch it on the side you want it to fall toward: *two* cuts, not one, like
this:

Then make a horizontal cut from the other side, above the notch, and the tree falls toward
the notch.
