Two Paces From Death

This week Im lucky to be alive, to be quite frank. A large oak branch fell without warning as I worked under a tree. The branch had broken, but was still attached to the tree trunk, so the other end hung near the ground. Normally branches like this are very strong, but as I trimmed it I heard a huge crash behind me as it fell without warning. Had I been two paces to the left there is a very good chance I wouldnt be here to write this blog today. You never see it coming.... People say chainsaws are dangerous, but I think what youre cutting is a bigger danger. Trees under pressure are unpredictable. Life is fragile.
