There was a wind storm two years ago that broke a huge chunk of my tree and left it hanging on. You could probably hang off it and it would not come loose, we tried getting it with ropes but it was wedged in tight between some branches.
Since it was broken pretty high up, surrounded by burdock, and at the back of the lot I just left it.
Today I was helping my wife in the yard clearing the weeds and this time one of the branches pinning it snapped, so I was able to use another branch as a fulcrum and finally took it down.
I’ll cut it up and burn it later — if there’s any good wood I might try carving some.
Wear a hard hat when cutting down or trimming trees with loose or dead branches. It may keep your day from becoming significantly less dull.
This is a public service announcement.
Or the rest of his days could become significantly more dull.
That is good advice
My wife was watching from a safe distance in case anything went wrong, but yes a stray branch could have clobbered me.
