Sorry guys, no pictures it happened right before it got dark at night. Last weekend I went over to help my friend Jim cut down a tree. I brought my 361 and put my 25" bar on it. We tied half inch x 50 foot rope to tree. Jim then ties rope to back of wifes pickup & his wife gets ready. He tells me he does not want to use my bigger saw he says he wants to use his smaller one in case he has to drop it and run. I could not argue with that. Me and his other friend Chris hold the same rope just in case his wife does not go fast enough. When he gets his saw I should have known we were all doomed. He pulls out the Poulman Wildthing. Then he cuts then says go. Then his wife went fast. I see Chris in front of me fell backwards as rope hit his shoulder and he hits his head on cement driveway. I scream and we start yelling. His wife stopped truck because she thought thats what we were yelling about. Tree falls on his neighbors fence and his fence with the neighbor watching. Turns out Chris hit his back then his head so he is ok. As Jim repairs his fence we go over to neighbors and tell them Jim will start repairing their fence tommorow. Then we have a big bonfire and order pizza and play cards all night till 2AM. We only live once I guess we should try to have some fun before we die. Anyway, is anybody else willing to swallow their pride and tell a story, please.
