Step 3Prepare to transplant.
Speed is the key here. Assuming that you are in a place that isn't owned by you... you need to get in and out as fast as possible. Be sure you have your shovel, camelbak, tree, and common sense... You will need all four.
Go out on a nice night that you can still see by the moonlight or on a part of the day when most of the surrounding houses are busy inside and take everything with you.
Get to your digging site and set the tree on it's side and camelbak out of the way. Using your shovel, dig out the first layer of grass, keep this to the side. Dig down far enough into the ground to cover up the roots, about 8-9 inches was good for me.
Set your tree in the hole and push back in most of the dirt that you shoveled out. Pack in the grass that you set aside in order to support the tiny tree.
Pick up the camelbak and pour out all of the water onto your new tree, it will need it.
