Today I cut down a dead tree to feed the stove this winter (haven’t needed to cut a live one for years) and was faced with the nerve-wracking situation of a thousand pounds of wood standing upright with no telling which way it wanted to go. Normally, I can aim the tree to within 20° or so of where I want it to fall but this one was caught up in the branches of the one next to it.
There’s a bit of a #forestry story here and also a point about #Covid at the end. 🧵
