Didn't need a rope or jeep. It wasn't rocket science.
^^^^ This.....only a couple of times in my life have I/we (dad) needed to call a climber or bring in a bucket (once), and we don't climb. No telling how many trees we've dropped that make that one look easy. Guy probably borrowed a chainsaw and rope, but forgot to borrow "a clue" also...idiot. A little common sense (and experience) goes a long way imo....
