Very interesting! Not exactly was I was looking for but I learned something!

Use anything and create a square ...Cut the square corner to corner so you have a 90 degree angle and two 45 degree angles walk out until you can site up the long side while a short side is parallel to the ground and the other sort side is closest to the tree line up the long side with the top of the tree now measure from your feet to the base of the tree and add distance your eye is above the ground this is the height..... It's really quite simple

In other words, sight along the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle with equal sides. When you are in a position to sight the top, the tree's height is your distance from the tree plus your height. Do I understand you?
