Gun cut, face cut, back cut. Toggles are switches, or hold jewelry on, they're not for trees. Unless you're paid by the hour I guess...

I could see Gunning that accurately and being fine…I could also see it bouncing bad

Quite.
As I understood it it was one tree hung up in another with a hung up branch that did for Jed.
But yes, point taken, even the best can have fate chuck a curve ball at you.

As it goes had a sliding doors moment today.
As part of a bigger job, I had a 18/20 ft dead oak spar to take down today, surrounded by shrubs I put on the spurs and flip line and thought I’d run up and knock a few bits off.
Then for some reason I thought ‘stuff this, knock it over and to hell with the shrubs’
So I put a gob in and started the back cut, but as soon as it stared to lean over the whole lot uprooted and hit the deck.
Not big, wouldn’t have killed me, no real drama, but could have bust an arm or leg if I’d got up there and taken the ride to the ground.
