Yesterday while cutting a dead ash tree down I almost got swatted by the damn tree. I have never had a tree twist almost 180 degrees and the branches came down right where I was standing. I dropped the saw and ran. The branches landed all around the saw.
Just a heads up pay attention . one more thing, leaves of three leave them be. The wife is highly allergic and I found some that was not there last yr. |

I don’t fuck with trees.
I’ve seen guys felling for 20 years get hurt. Fuck that. |

I cut trees pretty often but that shit still makes me just the right amount of nervous. About like using a table saw. I become very aware of the physical location of all parts of my body.

Lucky fella.
What type of cut? Dad had one kick out and fall on him. Luckily he fell in a hole on the tundra so no real weight from the tree. Mom was looking out for him from heaven that day. |

My neighbor cut down a tree and when it fell it rolled and rolled right over his wife. Broke her neck. DRT.
Scary shit.

Yeah, dead trees want to take you with them.
Proper cut for the situation, sanitized egress route, and senses turned up to the "Stalking Leopard" setting are all non-negotiable. |

Costs less to hire a pro than replace a structure or pay for a funeral.

I was doing some deer habitat work that involved dropping junk trees and dead standing to open up the canopy. Same thing happened to me. The top of that tree beat the shit outta me as I was running away! What happened defied gravity and any logic and still perplexes me to this day. |
