When trees go BAD.

[slack ma girdle]

Customer rang me up tuesday evening, having just freed two people that were trapped in their caravan. Part of the tree landed on the caravan whilst they were watching telly. Amazingly there was only one small crumpled bit and a broken skylight. The wood that is stacked in picture four is what fell on the caravan.

What was left of the tree was not in good condition. Half way up there was gaping pressure crack that was opening and closing with the wind. Thank heavens for ratchet straps. And various blown and broken branches.

This is the scareyest tree that i have had to climb for a while, and the gusts of wind were a great help.

I lived in one for 8years. There not bad, sure its not a house but it keeps you dry and warm (if you wrap up enough!) and no im not part of the travling community!

Looks like they were lucky could have been alot worse, a few years ago a tree killed a few folk at a caravan park my friends parents own, big Oak came down in the wind.

 

Never climbed a tree thats had to be ratchet strapped before bet it was scary.

It should have been a cherry picker, but the ground was too soft, and the wind was too strong. Tipically when i was removing the top branches the weather provided some exciting gusts
