Well-worth reading. I love the woods and have spent many years in them, including felling trees. Long before cellphones, I learned that being alone in the woods requires caution. When off trail, walk slowly, observe everything, work slowly and carefully. I understand the danger but still love the woods more than any other place. ABN
I have been in the logging industry for just about a year. And the other day I have come real close to dying. A coworker cut down a tree that was hanging in a different one and it turned 90° and fell right towards me, I was able to get away right before the tree landed where I was staying (I know I should have stood further away). But anyways, are situations like that common in the industry? And does every logger face something like that eventually?
