Well here's the deal: 1) I have cut several trees down around the house, and one of them made me gun shy. We had plenty of rope but no tractor at the time. 2) I had this big sweet gum all knotched to fall a certain way, had the ropes (yes ropes) attached high and pulled tight that way (even had moved the truck because my wife told me the tree would fall that far) 3) I go to the opposite side of the knotch and start sawing, about 2/3 of way through the big sweet gum rocked back onto the saw, and I said "OH hit". Back toward the saw was looking right at my pier, floating dock, deck boat and sea doo. 4) I move the boat and sea doo, get more rope, tie it to the truck, and slowly pull the tree the way it was supposed to fall 5) Sure enough it would have hit the truck 6) I cannot reach around the three trees that need to come down, and they have no place to fall.
