This jack pine was damaged since the fall of 2016 from a severe storm. This is the tallest jack pine in that area where my friend's cabin is located, about 60 to 70 feet high. It never falls down on its own for a straight 8 to 9 months period. On a windy day we could hear creaking sound from its sway. Thankfully the hinge is diametrically facing away from our cabin so even if it gets knocked down it will not drop on our roof. It is a hazard in the long run. The split starts at a height of seven feet and continues upward for about another six feet. It is roughly in the centre of the girth. I consider this very dangerous to approach with a direct cut. Would it be feasible to wrap a few rounds of chain around the crack though? Or, try to pull it down by brute force via a cable attached to a winch or back of a truck at a distance? Does it need to be cut down at all? Just some way to make sure it won't break and fall at an inopportune moment. I am looking for advice to deal with this damaged pine.
