Something to keep in mind:
Just as some trees are perfectly happy helping out to hold your tower up,
there are those that can/will bring it down too.  Be carefull which ones
you tie to, and treat them well.  Even the sturdy looking ones can fall
unexpectedly (wind, lightning).  There is no sure way to tell exactly
what is going on UNDER the tree...  I have learned to NEVER use a Slash
Pine as a guy anchor.
