Ya, I get all that.

What were they trying to do, though? Pull the tree away from houses, cars, etc. as it fell is my guess.

exactly. the intent was to pull it toward the road to keep it from hitting anything.

Just remember when you're cutting the sections, DO NOT cut below the level of the safety harness......

yea, i was going to say topping Steve, but i figured some people would not know what that meant.

and cutting below the safety harness is what makes life exciting.
just ask Charlie. he does it all the time.

I would of walked back & start laughing. Ask them for a business card & "said so I don't make the mistake of calling you". Walk off laughing.
Only because you tried to warn them & they gave the attitude.
