Yep...same here. Folks seem to have a 1,000 questions sometimes when I am gearing up to go up a tree. I tell them, "sorry, I can't talk...I need to focus on what I am doing for now."

I think my face cut may have been too shallow...as I made the face cut I ran into "space" where I did not expect any...the tree was hollow. There was a goodly amount of head lean so I was a bit skittish already. I thought there would be some hingewood...was not much there. When I sensed/saw...
Here's one where I had the luck of seeing a tear/split start in a leaner. I had a tie-in in the tree behind and was able to abandon the one starting to split. If I had been lanyarded in normally when it split the results would have been catastrophic.
