The USFS isn't anywhere close to the best at cutting trees but we're pretty safe doing it. There are three USFS approved courses, the MTDC course, S-212 Wildland Powersaws and The Game Of Logging. All of those will include the basics. Most of the techniques come from the Douglas Dent book Professional Timber Falling. Check it out.
