How did a 16-year old teen chop such a large tree on his own?

That was also my thinking. This looks too well done for a 16 year old. Maybe he's a fall guy?

Is that a pun on felling trees?

It wasn't intended as such, but now that you mention it 🤣

I was way more capable of cutting down a tree when I was 16. I was a early grower and very in shape back then. I cut down tons of trees to clear out a camp ground area around that age.
