Taking home your tree...

Remember to always carry your tree from both ends.

If you have a truck - bring it. Load all trucks with the tip of the tree pointing to the tailgate.

The good and the bad: the ropes through the windows are correct, but allow way too much movement of the tree.

This is a good example of how to tie the tree to a roof top.

Notice how the rope wraps around the trunk in this picture. This keeps sideways shifts to a minimun.

Even with a good tie job... keep your speed to a reasonable pace.

When working on top of a tall vechicle, step up onto the floorboards with the doors open.

Even shorter vechicles can benefit from steping on the floorboards for an improved reach.

Make certain to bring the "coolest" vechicle you've got. The tree on top always adds a nice focal point.
