Direction of Safe Retreat
 
• 45 degrees from the sides and back on either side
  
• NEVER move away directly behind the tree - you can be seriously hurt if the tree butt kicks back during the fall

How to Retreat

• Using a bore cut and a release cut will make it easier to retreat in plenty of time.
  
• Don't turn your back on the falling tree.
  
• Walk quickly away to a distance of 20 feet from the falling tree.
  
• Position yourself behind a standing tree if possible.
