I thought that at first, but then you look at the branch structure and is unlikely to spring back. Nice big trunk to hide behind too. Still a ballsy fell mind[emoji106]

  

I do occasionally take note of branch structure and and a place to hide [emoji6] if the branches were different I would of cripple cut the lower big ones to make sure she sat down well [emoji106]
