Yeah, I've seen a ton of trees redirected by neighboring stands, up in the pac northwest. But I wasn't anywhere close - I never felled trees for a living. I would cut a few fat doug firs every year for firewood. And I was always pretty skeered when I did it. But this was out in the woods -no need for tying anything off. What I was skeered of is getting smeared by a bounce from hitting a neighboring tree or from getting tangled in the canopy.DeezerShoove » 10 May 2025, 1:38 pm » wrote: ↑ The only thing I ever accidentally took out was an eight foot section of picket fence.
I mentioned the canopies can roll against each other. Or sometimes tangle. Foolers.
This one rolled just like two umbrellas in a crowd against the next tree and fell 4 feet to the right of my target.
TBH I was playing that one pretty close as it was. Lesson learned.
Came close to my boat once. But I had an extra line holding the drop away from that direction. Needless to say my afterthought of adding that insurance rope saved me. Another lesson learned.
A lot of it is caution and common sense. Diving out of the canopy fall is for you acrobats...

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
