OK so we've found the place where we want to camp and over there is the perfect spot between a couple of trees to pitch the tarp and hammock (or a tent if you are a ground dweller. You get your meal on ,maybe a few tots of the amber nectar then being in a happy place you decide to get your head down. 2 HOURS LATER YOU ARE DEAD so what did you do wrong? Simple you didn't check above your head and a lot of people through out the world are seriously injured by what we call widow makers. A widow maker is any part of a tree that is dead and above your head, a 2 inch diameter branch falling from 40 or 50 feet can quite easily go right through your tarp/tent and straight through you. Always check what's over your head guys
