Trees do Fall!!!

Locating your camp requires consideration for

  • type of ground
  • available shade
  • slopes or flat ground
  • hollows that will fill with rainwater
  • neighbours
  • space required

One other thing to consider is what happens if a tree falls! I learnt this almost the hard way as shown below. that tree was full of termites, which we found out on Christmas night!

I’ll be giving trees a safe falling distance from our camp setup from now on!

That tree branch should be in the air! Luckily it landed on the day use gazebo and trailer, and not on my head which was just inside the white gazebo behind the trailer!
