Wow, that could really hurt someone the way it split. Thanks for posting that for me. I don't ever cut a tree that low. I cut about waist high so I can control the saw without having to bend down and get my face near it. I can also watch the tree better. I cut the stump off afterwards.
Very sensitive issue here. Ai just don't know how to drive the 2 miles down the road to talk with them - it's a family grieving period. Call came in to the EMTs at 5:34, well after sundown. When Scott didn't come in at dark, his wife called their son (I believe he is 21 now) to Ho look. He found his dad under the tree. We haven't had it cold yet this year by our terms but that means high that day was in the mid teens, one of the coldest this season when we expect below zero highs. Working in the woods you are usually down to a flannel shirt at most, tee shirt common, at these temps. Even if just pinned, however, a body can't take much at our temps, especially if you're soaked with sweat.
