Very good points. Especially the hazards from above. I was taught as a youngster that critters and people rarely look upwards in the course of their travels. Reasoning behind many hunters choosing tree stands. We get some high winds in our area in spring and fall and lately have many concentrated wind events called microbursts which can blow down large trees. Camping under dead or weakly rooted trees in a situation like that could really end badly. Best to always look up when traveling through wooded areas in windy conditions.

thanks for reminders of picking a good sight.
