Escape path
First clear the tree base and work area
from interfering limbs and brush and
clean its lower portion with an axe.
Then, establish two paths of escape (B)
and remove all obstacles. These paths
should be generally opposite to the
planned direction of the fall of the tree
(A) and about at a 45° angle. Place all
tools and equipment a safe distance
away from the tree, but not on the
escape paths.

to a depth of about 1/5 to 1/4 of the
trunk diameter
