I told the guy straight up it had a 50/50 chance; it would either die in the next five weeks, or in the next five years. He's ok with that.

Narrow face and a tad to much hinge on this dead ash from the other day. I was plenty far away from it. Only picture I took this week

I could always try but WHY? Oh I know why. For science.

That could easily be a killer, if you are not aware and paying close attention.

Yes.
) would you say your area is? Around here, I'd guess we are approx 30% into, still still about 70% left to go.

Most residential is done in my area. Still the stranglers. As far as wooded areas there are a bunch.

The main difference I've noticed between "fallers/fellers?" and "arborists" is that fellers will move away as the tree falls(good) but arborists generally stand right beside and watch it go(not so good).

I don’t hang around most times. This includes a spar drop. Bad juju Hanging around the stump.

Here's one I did a few years ago...helps me to remember how violent these trees can be. Skip to 0:20 for the fall.

I've been singing this song since before dirt was made from rocks, here on the 'House. It is begging for a beating to stay by the stump. In the woods, it's more obvious, but in res settings it holds true too, if you look into injury/death stats for arbs.

Fast feet saves lives - not a big tree, but covered in ivy. a big gust of wind hit as it started to fall.
Fast feet and an awareness of what is going on.
I've had my share of barberchairs even though I bore cut a lot..
Some you can cut your way out of with a sharp saw, the trick is knowing when to cut and when to skedaddle.
It is something that can really only be learned by surviving a few.

Agreed Stig - I am felling a load of ash & alder & I am not loitering at all. I was a good few meters away when that split

That's a deadly tree right there, Pete. If you're not both aware and fleet of foot, that's a high percentage killer. Well done keeping your head.
