To measure the height of a tree or other tall object: Walk away from the object, stopping periodically to view the object by putting your head down between your legs. When you are at a distance that you can just barely see the top of the object, make a mark on the ground. Measure the distance from the mark to the base of the object and you will have a surprisingly accurate measurement of the object's height.
