A few weeks ago, I got a call from a customer who tried to cut down a tree in his backyard. He put a strap in it and hooked it to another tree using a come-a-long. He tensioned the tree and everything was going well until it didn't.
The tree fell 90° from where he wanted and landed on his roof and deck. Fortunately he was not hurt. You can see the strap still on the tree.
We came out with a bucket truck and removed the tree from the house.
Sometimes, it's wise to call the professionals first. The pics and story were shared with his permission.
Stay safe out there.
