I was once told if you walk away from the tree bending forward looking between your legs back at the tree that when you’re at a distance that you can see the top of the tree, that distance will be height of tree! I guess there are many variables there but it would make me a happy man if there was any truth in it

...its worth trying at least once!

I don't use this for distance but do use this method to look at the back of the sink and then get a better idea of where the tree should fall.

 

I hold a stick at arms length  between thumb and forefinger so the stick just ouches my cheek, then line it up with top and bottom of the tree and that's where the top should land.

Aye, I can believe that stubby[emoji23], you’d need a mirror on the end of a stick!
