I had a limb fall in a windstorm a few weeks back. It hit my tarp. Two feet to the left and I would have been pummeled. Now where am I gonna camp. I pick a nice flat spot, out of the wind, good drainage, blah, blah, blah and then I look up and there is a big dead limb. I think there is a conspiracy to have deadfalls over all the good sites. (I also have it on good authority that Humpty Dumpty did'nt fall, he was pushed). Off all the ways to go out this one would be pretty embarrasing. I have a Smokies guidebook that notes a place 200 yard off a trail where a mountain preacher was squooshed under a big slab of rock while he slept. This is over in the Cataloochee area as I recall. I think the slab was too big to be moved and the remains are still there.
Has anyone else had a close call with a limb or falling object?
