The pilot reported that, just after takeoff from a remote off-airport landing site, the airplane's left wing impacted a small sapling tree which resulted in a loss of directional control. The pilot attempted to correct for the loss of control to no avail. The airplane subsequently impacted a stand of trees sustaining substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate clearance from a tree during takeoff, which resulted in a loss of directional control and impact with terrain.
