I watched a long video last night just by chance about the right and wrong way to use a chainsaw. Up until then, I only had my common sense and sense of self preservation to protect me. Otherwise, I didn't know crap about using a chainsaw. I was never taught "do this, don't do that". Anyway, I have seen enough videos to know that ladders and chainsaws often don't mix well. Here's the video that I watched which has a selection of "chainsaws and ladders don't mix clips."

But the nice thing about the video is that it shows how to mitigate the main problem with mixing chainsaws and ladders. So now I'm prepared to NOT get knocked off a ladder.
