I just need someone badass with a chainsaw that can cut down a huge dead pine and make it fall in a certain direction.

Pretty straight tree butleabs slightly towards my camp at the top. Don't think they'd have to climb it.

Do they have to haul it off? Or just fell it? Hauling off can be 1/2 the price or more.

Usually between $400-800 I believe though for a mature pine. I haven't priced it recently though.

You may be able to find some small time guy to do it for $200 or something, would only take him 15 minutes max to fell it for you.

This won't help you much but I had some redneck fella wearing a Sammy's strip club shirt walk by my house, noticed 3 dead trees. 1 large dead oak, 1 large pine, 1 small oak. All dead as hell.

All three had to fall a certain way, he cut all 3 down and hauled them off for....you guessed it, $350.

I cut that man a check, gave him and his buddy a big arse plate of brisket and potato salad and a few beers.

Ok on a more serious note, I had 2 pine trees cut down behind my house. Cut, haul off, and stumps ground down cost me $800.

Throw a rope (that won't break) or cable, in that mug, long enough the falling tree won't hit your truck, pull it away from structure and have some baw cut the tree, or visa versa. I live to far or i'd help you.

Do you have any other tree work needed? If you can pay for the crew for a day they will do a ton of work. A half day is tough, they can't really get all that shite to another job site inside a shift. I'm talking cherry picker and truck and grinder...may be worth walking around and getting rid of all of your problems.

from looking at that pic, that tree wants to fall to the right. an experienced sawhand can move the fall some, but would probably need help from a skidder or the like. Dead pines are tricky, the longer they are dead the worse, older dead ones will sometimes break up during the fall with different pieces falling randomly.
What ever you decide, the sooner the better.

Get a licensed arborist to give you a quote. Add 500.00 on top for your trouble, get witch to pay for it. Win, win.

I got a few trees cut down about two years ago, and it was $800/tree with stump removal.

Make sure the person you hire is licensed and insured.
