When you tie that far up in the air, the net force is pulling the truck's ass end up in the air, losing traction. Then, adding on the fact the numbnuts didn't have the front diff engaged (assuming he's not one of those weirdos who puts a lift kit on a 2WD), the truck was there for no reason whatsoever.

Should have tied off a pulley to one of those trees to the right and brought the truck directly at the camera.

My dad was exceptional at this. He was one of those "bullseye" tree-fellers who could drop a tree right between two buildings with no damage. I have great appreciation for that now.

Nah, shoulda done it just like they did, otherwise we never would have had this conversation.
