One may ask how Florida Man got his tow straps 45 feet up into a Live Oak tree. Well, after a few beers of thought, I taped some 550 cord (parachute cord) to my drone. The beer and the onboard stabilization smoothed-out the flight. I didn’t record that part, only the glorious act that happened afterwards. For your video enjoyment, recorded this evening.

I'm sorry, but that was way less interesting than expected. I wanted to see the tree come down on the Jeep or the Jeep to be hanging from the tree.
My apologies for not having a disaster today for your amusement.🤣

I wish I was your neighbor, I'd hang out with you anyday.

Thanks for video. Good fun 😁
Back at you, brother!

I don’t know if y’all noticed, but my winch solenoid was clicking constantly. That is not good. I checked the connections under the hood; zero corrosion. I guess I need to do some more diagnostics tomorrow, and get into the solenoid box to see what’s going on. Any thoughts, folks?

Yeah, when you invoke the "Florida Man", I gotta say I half expected the winch or bumper to rip off instead of the limb just coming down. Glad it worked for you, though, :)

That was the best commercial I’ve seen for a wireless winch remote!

congrats on the good job - can’t argue with results. Hope the winch is alright

Being another "Florida Man" my adult grandsons and I have used the winch on more than one occasion to yank down pesky live and pin oak branches. Great time bonding with family as fun was had by all. Thanks for the video, enjoy seeing a man with his machine
