Title: Hiding in trees
Date:  Wed May 29, 1996 18:56:49

If you go up a tree, the enemy will make a monkey out of you.  As you sit at
home and think about it, treetops are alluring.  Here's the scenario:  With a
slingshot you shoot a shot weighted fishline over a high limb.  The fishline
is tied to a parachute cord (550 lbs test) and you pull it over.  With your
foot in the loop on one side of the line, you Hand-over-hand up the other
until you're into the tree tops.  Then you connect tree to tree, and you
befuddle the whole Posse.   Bull; it really goes like this:

You finally get up in the trees and, miracle-- the branches are thick enough
to connect.  It takes a long time to pull this off so you lose lead time, and
it is tiring.  Also you could have fallen on your Butt and broken something,
but you made it!  Now, you're ten-twenty trees away, and they arrive.

The dogs either bark tree'd or stop and look up.  So the posse fans out and
goes heads up also.  You don't dare move.  If you happen to have a gun and
shoot, you'll kill one, and the other 19 will venilate you.  You are
cornered.  They WILL find you, day or night, because they know you can't
move.  If you do.. they will probably kill you (weapons or the fall).  Yes,
the tree plan sucketh.  Ask any dead bear or coon that has ever been
tree'd---DONT TAKE TO THE TREES.
