Was going on when all of the sudden came a tremendous KTHUD that was felt more in my feet than it was heard... something had crashed like a mfer, it jolted me like a scared cat, looking around every which way
Turns out an absolutely massive dead tree decided to fall just minutes after I passed it by... scared the shit outta me, and I've never went into the woods since without having a very good look around at the trees in my path
It was a massive old sucker, and would've squished me dead as a roach had it caught me... still get the chills just thinking about it
The lesson here?
Even lame ass old Illinois can kill you if you're not careful

Ban trees. They kill people.
