Timbered country, not a place you'd want to come down in, he wrote about turn backs as well
A look on Google Earth shows a number of open areas around the airport. As for a [possible] turnback, a Cessna Cardinal RG departing from a 4000 foot runway should have a few decent options if it was an EFATO. Agreed, none great, but choices. A very experienced friend of mine was killed, along with the pilot flying, at his home airport (6000 foot runway, and lots of choices) because the pilot flying initiated a turnback, which might have actually worked if had been flown correctly, but it was not, and the plane spun. My experienced friend could not prevent/correct the flying error in time.
It can happen to any of us.....
