Arrow Wierd Stump Pulling

Why would someone be dumb enough to use the interior of their vehicle to anchor a tow rope to pull something out? Then to not check for buried cabling? What if that was her electrical mains!!!

Plus it took her 5 times...

People scare me.

Agreed though, definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Twas a woman. May have been a woman filming (May have been a man with a really high feminine voice?)

First thing I notice was the wire moved on the first jerk. That's what we call a "warning sign"

That is caused by being lazy.
From the looks of the root system, about 15 min with a shovel, and that would have been out clean.

I took out 7 bushes on the north side of the house to change the landscaping, and after 8 years the root system looked stronger then that did.
Each one took me about 45 min with a pick to dig out clean ( did not want anything left, I was doing soil amending for the new bushes & plants ).

If necessity is the mother of invention, laziness is the bastard red headed step child that goes by the name, "hold my beer, watch this"

I pullled out a stump once (hooked to trailer hitch) and it ended up slingshotting against my tailgate causing a sizable dent. Can you imagine if that thing flung inside the car??? or if even the "tow rope" snapped and whipped into the passenger compartment? some people JUST DON'T THINK!!!

The best thing to use for stump pulling is a chain since it won't stretch and snap back. Even a steel cable will stretch although it is far less likely to snap back on you. I've pulled small stumps using a heavy chain without any trouble.

It may have helped if she got smacked in the back of the head.
