Here's a comment I left for this video from Buckin Billy. I think this one is worth discussing again. See the action at 16:15
This video also gets me thinking about whether you should just turn and run, (and perhaps drop the saw first), as you did on an earlier release, or if you should look up and try to dodge the hazards. My take is that you should run if the hazard is limbs falling out of the sky. However it's the whole tree that is going to topple after getting straight, you should look up. You will have more time to get out of its path than with a falling limb, and almost no chance of outrunning it. With falling limbs, you can get far enough out of the way in the few seconds it will take any limb to fall, that it would take a freaky throwback to get you. Working in backyards doesn't offer the same opportunities to have a depth of relevant experience, so it would be nice to hear from the loggers on this one. What do you think Billy? Thes are the things I like to think about
