For $5.95, Lee Valley has a booklet that is a chain saw and crosscut saw
training course, originally printed by the USDA Forest Service. It's
excellent.

Are there any classes, videos, books, etc. that explain how to properly
use a chainsaw? I mean things that aren't obvious, such as how to cut an
unbalanced tree so that it doesn't rotate and fall on you, how to prevent
kickback, etc.

I've been thinking about this for years but never got around to it. I
want to learn ahead of time, rather than waiting for a storm, tornado,
etc. and then having to learn on the fly while I clean up my property.
