I have used my chainsaw to take down damaging trees. The latest was a couple of weeks ago. A tall tree was split vertically and if it fell during wind, it would most likely land on either my or BIL camper. Called owner of campground. He did not feel comfortable in the event that it came down in the wrong direction.
Took my truck and some tow chains. Wrapped the chain as high as possible, tensioned chain and cut the tree down. One caveat with this method; make sue the chain is long enough so the tree won't land on the truck. Electricity is turned off for winter so electric saw is not an option.
