Wow that last shot at the end I see a face in the tree! I would like to also acknowledge the videographer for providing great angles in those rugged conditions. Also I really enjoy her wonderful voice and dialog as well. Thank you both for this amazing video!

Please be careful with that wedge. Once you get that tree leaning over center. Barber chair could happen while you're in there cranking on that. Be safe and enjoy.

👏👏👏 Thanks for that informative and amazing video again. How do you pull those logs out of the forest? Or do you cut them in pieces just in the place where they fell down?

I think by brushing out the sourounding area would have been more beneficial to you as a naturalist. You would be surprised how much light would filter through the forest canopy. That light is on every photographers wish list. Very spiritual and the rays are breathtaking. Thus the larger trees are saved as the property value goes up. Peace Out David.

Good to hear from you Larry, Definitely better light in the forest with your suggestions. With the height of the trees increasing over the last 45 years there wasn’t any winter sun in the adjacent clearing. Hope you are doing well, David
