Should be a lesson from the tree "incident", as it was a pretty small one with obviously shallow roots.  How high up the trunk was the cable?  Obviously you want to attach the tree saver as far down as possible, but a bigger trunk is better than a smaller most of the time.

Looking at the tree beforehand, you never would have thought it would fall. Being in a creek bed with rocks didn't let the root system get very big. We had the tree saver at the very bottom.

And where it was at I"m sure it had been winched off a lot.  It finally gave up.

Yep. Lesson learned. But I do think it's the tree that everyone would have picked in the situation.

The question is, if it had landed on top of the Jeep and you had to turn it into insurance, would that be considered an act of god?

If you have State Farm, they will cover the damage 100% after deductible.

Had a great time, my only carnage was my HighLift Jack broke lose, the whole bracket just broke!.  scrapped the hood.   My winch got a work out this trip, helping folks, glad it seems to work.   

I also enjoyed my new AntiRock!  not sure if I need to adjust them, but maybe when i get to talking with some guys I may, but I had a good time, did some really good trails, and helped someone that got stuck in a tree!.

Wow what a trip.  So Chris rolled, what happened?  Man Jared you are really lucky that the tree missed you, probably the windshield frame would not have done that much to stop it.

I was behind him, he had his front wheels hard driver trying to steer into the ridge, so the wheels where constantly catching on the side, then as soon as i see this they catch, and a quick tap of his breaks and his butt came up, and he rolled toward the passenger side, he did 1 complete roll and was about to then start a trunk to hood roll. head over ass , and the top of his roll cage hit the 2nd small tree, bounced back into the 1st small one and wedged his back passenger tire on that tree, in the position you see. 

we quickly secured the back of my rig to a tree up the hill and then secured his rig with my winch so it would not go any further incase the tree broke.  we called Tony and Bobby to come help as this was something that called for those with much more winching ability than any of us had.

big thanks to those that showed up to help.
