I rode the crane into the tree on my last job and got set up, went to make a cut and realized my saw was still sitting next to the crane...
Feels bad man
I had that happen to me last week pulling a line into a tree, first time in a very, very long time, ended up with about 30 half hitches and a girth hitch at the end, customer was watching and I was already embarrassed enough...

WoodCutr not responsible for shredded ropes lol
