I have talked about "the grand plan" in great detail many times and in many videos but, in short, I'm building a homestead. The area in this video is the "parking lot", a staging area for equipment, gear and supplies. As for the downed trees being left to rot? All I can say is you must be new to the channel. If you have real interest, and I hope you do, you can watch every step of the journey starting with playlist 22.

@@humansustainability From my personal experience I can say with full confidence that if you let an Aspen trunk sit still for a year after being downed, its just no good anymore. When it comes to milling those logs. Do you even have a ripping chain? Because if you don't, then you're gonna burn out your saw very quickly.

@@KK19825 I really enjoy your engagement in my journey! It is also very obvious to me that you are new to the trek. I encourage you to watch my entire suite of video's before being so critical of a single sample. These trees that you see in the background of a SHELTER video are building material that I will be working in the coming season. If you are here on my channel to critique me I welcome that as long as it's a well thought critique... I would love to have a conversation with someone who understands the difficulties of staking a pole in the ground within RAW land. Speak to me about item's I've already covered as if those considerations are the only thing to consider and I will rapidly place you in the bucket of "attention seeker". Please don't be that shallow.
