🌲 Hanging by a Thread – The Tree You Should Never Ignore ⚠️

This wasn’t just storm damage — it was a potential death trap. In this video, I take you into a real-life situation where a broken spruce trunk was left hanging vertically after a storm, creating a dangerous and unpredictable hazard.

Many overlook these kinds of trees, but they’re among the most deadly in forestry. Some call them widowmakers, but this one? It deserved a darker name: the guillotine.

📌 In this video, you'll learn:
✅ Why hanging trunks are more dangerous than they look
✅ Three possible ways to safely remove a suspended tree
✅ Why positioning and force direction matter in risk control
✅ Safety principles that every homeowner and pro should know

💬 Have you seen a tree like this in your area? Drop a comment — I’d love to hear your experience.

This isn’t just a tutorial — it’s a warning. These trees have killed lumberjacks and arborists across Finland and beyond. Don't take them lightly.
