Thanks for your comments. It was definitely a bunch of fun. Take care

Thanks a bunch Mark. Take care

Awesome. Thanks for your comments. Take care

Thanks for your comments NW Primate. I'm super stoked to hear that it was something new - there is a lot of repetition out there. Take care.

Thanks man. Seems like lot's of your recent adventures are in the Mountains. Are you out West???

Sorry for the late reply North Woods.... Just wanted to make sure I took the time to write a quality reply...…. It's comments like yours that inspire and motivate me to keep making videos. Thanks so much. For me, the biggest reward of making KZfaq videos, isn't the little bit of money I make, or the amount of views, instead, it's the thrill I get when people write in and express gratitude and share information about the videos and their experience. It really makes all the effort spent on getting the footage and editing the videos worthwhile. When I first started teaching outdoor skills 25 years ago, I never dreamed that I would be able to reach out around the world and have an effect on people I never get to meet face to face. KZfaq has really opened up an exciting world of sharing information in a good way. Thanks so much for sharing and commenting again. Take care and happy adventuring.

@@NatureAliveAdventures You are most welcome, Dale, and thank you so much for your thoughtful reply! As a viewer, You Tube has really opened up an exciting world for me as well. I have often described it as "informative, entertaining and educational" to friends and family. It has also, and perhaps even more importantly, allowed me to connect with other interesting and like-minded people, not only for my own personal enrichment, but hopefully for theirs too, with whatever little I may have to contribute, if anything, such as perhaps some encouragement and positive feedback, occasional helpful info on some specific thing that I may happen to know something about, or whatever. Thank you for having enriched our lives through your vids, not only with all the super cool bush lore you've been teaching us, your viewers, but also for just being you, man! And yes, that goes for Colleen as well. May God continue to bless you guys in whatever you do. Take care and happy adventuring to you as well! Glenn

God bless you too. Thanks for that.....

Thanks for your question Don. Unfortunately, removing the bark will open the tree up to insects and it will interfere with transportation of nutrients from roots to tips of the tree or shrubs. So I take the approach of carefully selecting trees that are weak or growing in clumps and competing with other nearby trees or shrubs. By pruning the forest, I believe it makes room for other nearby trees and shrubs to grow free of competition and live a long time. Take care

@@NatureAliveAdventures thank you so much for the information.

Yup. Started last night. Thanks for the kickstart. Take care

Thanks for your comments. The tree will likely dry out and die. I always select live material carefully- by ensuring that I am thinning out the type of plant/tree in places where they grow in abundance. Take care

@Anthony George Well to start it's not as simple as just planting the next one, trees take decades to grow. Also I was simply wondering if the tree just created a new protective lair or if it dies.

​@Mahtanify when you had breakfast this morning something alive was sacrificed. Plant or animal. Yesterday and tomorrow as well. Toilet paper napkins writing paper come from murdering trees. Maybe the cordage is not important to you. Though you invited yourself to his podcast. What did you have for lunch? What form of dead animal is rotting in your belly at this moment? Yes it's decomposing. The smell is a dead give away. How ya like those apples. Oh. You wouldnt!!
