Hohwaiian you bring to mind a true incident which happened a few years ago on Hwy. 101.

A person whom I know but haven't seen in awhile slid off the road and lodged his vehicle on the only tree on the newly logged slope. After extracting his former fishing partner, who by the way was frozen with fear,
climbed back down to the car...yep you guessed it to remove his fishing gear. He told me later how embarresed he was when the EMT's chewed him out for doing it.
