About putting it down in the pines:
a CFI told me once that you want to "drop in"
with as little forward speed as possible, and with
the plane in a normal attitude.  That way, the wings
and trees will break your fall as much as possible.
I would think you want to bleed off speed and
stall at the last second before you hit.  (In other
words, pretend you're going to land on the treetops?)
