Another funny tree video

Inexperience and silly actions of the folks involved in this vid aside, there's something very peculiar about the break and reaction wood area of that tree.

 

Almost as though despite catastrophic trunk failure, and the top hitting the ground, enough cambium was left intact to keep the tree alive and building reaction wood at the point of failure?

 

Some, if not many tree species are known for that very characteristic IME.

Whilst strictly not a video (as it's a GIF) but has this been posted yet?

No sound with this but I think it went something like (groundy) " I bet you couldn't wait to start climbing so you could get out of dragging brash and the extra wonga must be nice?"

(Climber) " Yes your right there. Have you got your gloves on ?" No, oh well I keep them small here's your first one!!"

Your version Bill definitely came out on top it had in me tears

 

 

I agree, it must be a generational thing and a bit too slow for fast living iphone generation!

 

But " half way up I met the branch coming down, and received a severe blow to my arm

I was now swinging out from the tree. When I reached the limit of my swing I was heading towards the branch again.

Halfway through the swing I met the branch once more and received a severe blow to my shin

I slid to the ground and must have taken leave of my senses as I let go of the rope

The branch was now heavier than the rope and came down and gave me a severe blow to my head

Many small pieces of broken branch fell around me and landing on them caused many lacerations.

I may be late for work tomorrow! "
