My uncle told me to use a come-along for a big limb and I should have listened
He said, 'Don't just cut it, pull it where you want it to go.' I was taking down a big oak limb over a shed in Knoxville last month and thought I could just notch it right. The notch was good, but the limb swung hard and took out a gutter. The come-along was in my truck the whole time. Anyone else have a simple tool they ignored and paid for it?

I learned that lesson with a tow strap last year.

Actually, that lesson is worth learning twice. Sometimes you need to feel the sting to really remember the rule.

Ever see a ratchet strap let go under load?
