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[emoji846]
Sounds like a wind up[emoji23][emoji23]

Never seen anyone with pricks on their balls before!

 

If you make a little right angled triangle with the base and height the same length, the angles  on the hypotenuse must be 45 degrees 

So if you walk away from the tree until the hypotenuse lines up from your eye to the top of the tree then the vertical height must always be the same as your distance from the tree (plus your own height to eye level)

May need to put a small spirit level on the base line to help you keep it level
