Falling trees in amongst others is always a very risky business, even in the direction it was intended. A good pool player will look ahead. Same with falling trees in amongst others. Look well further than the tree you are falling at all the possibilities for danger.

Yep, safety first! Can't help but cringe when reading about GTG's that are held on wood lots where a bunch of rookies are all running around falling trees. Building and running saws is fun, but we need to step back and look at the big picture...That was a wakeup call!

Brad, been busy a few days and this thread is still blowing up. Wondered if you'd decided on helmet?

Brad, I don't know you but I thought of you today. I spend the morning at our community firewood ministry's woodlot cutting and splitting firewood. After lunch I went to check on some dying trees, including a 30" red oak that I have been looking forward to falling. I had with me all my firewood PPE - in other words everything but a hard hat. I surveyed the situation and found the oak to be dead. It was one of those nice trees that you could fall in almost any direction you wanted, assuming you know what you are doing. But I didn't have my hat. Boy, was it tempting - and what the heck, I've cut much more dangerous trees. Then I thought of you. So I took another survey and walked around the tree again. Thought about the situation some more. I decided, hat or no hat, the overhead hazards posed by the tree were too dangerous (top had been dead way too long). I drove back to the woodlot and I hired a tree service to put the tree on the ground next week along with a similar size dead pine even though this is likely going to cost me as much as a new saw. Nonetheless, it actually felt good to allow myself to grow up a little by placing a check this time on my pride and unnecessary risk taking.

Thanks again for posting. Ron

I would like that.

I would like that.

Although I'm sure there are many who love to derail this thread again, it would be a good choice.
