I should have known you'd be all set for rope. Excellent for rescuing the tree! There are now all these dead trees being cast on the sidewalk for garbage collection. I thought of the scarred trees as I walked by them today.
Best of luck fending off the crazy people. Have you considered just killing them?
I find killing to be an excessive amount of time, trouble, work and well, consequences I don't want. I have a three step rule.
The look
This is highly effective for reasons I can't publicly say and usually addresses any issues.One or two sentences reinforced with "the look" and an extra hard punch of a non-physical nature.
Showing one of my "presents" I keep handy for problems. Everyone likes presents, right?
It is extremely rare for any situation to escalate to number three.
