Above me, it has cracked. If you're out during such a weather, look upwards. Now the danger of windthrow is high.
You can see here how the trees move in the wind - Although no leaves on the trees. Falling down branches can be dangerous.
That is why I checkt this branch. Normaly the Forest Service should check the road for dangerous branches.
Sepp said before, every storm will Jogger killed by down falling branches. You have to be careful. But the Forest Service is still responsible for checking the trees. But this is almost impossible.
Here is a tip about trees. The tree health you can see on the last meter or half meter.
First check the bark. Here you can see the tree trunk is broken. The tree Is about to die. The tree trunk is also mossy and rotting.
Another test you can make is, Stomp on the floor and if your foot sinks into the ground, then the root is rotten. The tree can fall suddenly - even if the tree trunk looks good.
If you choose a tree to hang a hammock, then check the Tree trunk for damage. The last meter - the last half meter is interessing for diagnistics.
This tree is damaged. He is rotting. The tree trung is broken. A branch hangs above the road. Normally, the tree will be cut by the forest office.
Here you can see: Other branches are rotten too. Beware of such trees.
The knife has passed all tests well. I'm very satisfied. I will use the knife probably a lot.
This is not the only test today. Rubber boots. New rubber boots - This was a recommendation from Tim.
These are out of Nitril - a syntetic rubber - no natural rubber. They are more comfortable then PVC boots. With 2 pairs of socks there are warm. Okay today isn't that cold. But they are better then the dump PVC ones.
It has paid off. The boot looks very dirty - that wouldn't be easy to clean
