Tool for remodeling that old truck, or at least making a good reason for a new one after you get the tree off of the old one.
No, not my experience but, I have seen it before and not on the internet!!!
Everytime I hear mention of dropping a tree on a truck I think of the time I almost did just that. Back when I didn't know much about cutting trees down (not that I know that much more now) I was cutting down a 24 inch fir. Not a huge tree but plenty big for me. Anyway I got the saw pinned in the tree when it started to fall the wrong way. Brilliant me, I decided to tie a rope to the tree and pull it over with my truck. Right when the tree started to fall my way I came to the horrible realization that the rope I was using to pull the tree was not nearly as long as the tree was tall. I dove for the floor boards of the truck and fortunately the tree fell about 3 to 4 feet along the side of the truck with only some branches hitting my pickup. Lesson learned.
