People forget, or just don't know, that up to just 100-150 years ago most of England's woodland was regularly managed and without this constant work it would a desolate and congested mess.

@@oldbatwit5102 Today people waste time and energy on mindless entertainment, instead of using their resources to benefit their community. They behave like 2 year old's needing to be looked after constantly. I read that the UK National Grid is working at 92% all the time. Sometimes I long for a 4 week power cut. Just to watch who survives without their sky box and microwave.

@@LittleCarol I am new to this channel, and LOVED your comment! You are spot on 👍😉. All these fools keep pushing this so called climate change, but only seem to suggest taxation of the public has a solution! They keep talking about taxing the public to death in order to reduce our use of fossil fuels, yet at the same time allow large corporate companies to keep making Billions from the sales of the very fuels they say are responsible for the damage! But I don't see any Governments offering cheap or free solar panels and a battery storage system for the public! Because even if solar power only reduced the use of the grid by 25%, that certainly would be a step in the right direction! But I suppose FREE energy from the sun wouldn't be in the corporate interest would it? 👍😉

@@MrNed09 Eh many civilized governments offer tax rebates, exemptions and/or refunds if you get solar panels hooked up and fill out proper paperwork. Same with modernizing a house/building with proper insulation and windows. It is done in many US states and Canadian provinces nowadays although taking time to get popular or seeing mainstream use. However, Germany has been on solar for a while. Best thing is, when the weather is agreeable and sunny, your personal electric use (since you arent cooling or heating) may be lower than the power your panels generate resulting in your power suppliers paying you back since the panels are feeding the grid. It isn't much but it's a damn sight better than owing them the usual monthly fee.

@@RandomPlaceHolderName But I would rather have NO monthly fee! By running my own power and not supplying the grid at all! That's why they say Sola power isn't viable! What they really mean is that Sola power isn't viable for them to make massive amounts of profit by selling it back to the public! And the moment you want to supply your own free energy, all of a sudden taxation and penalties come into play! And all of a sudden saving the planet soon gets forgotten about! It's not about saving the planet, it's about keeping their scams going!

Auction hunters is awsome

People have different tastes. If you don't like auction hunters, don't watch it. You control KZfaq and what you watch on it dipshit. Not sure why I even have to explain this.

Government does not want you to know this their nightmare is a self sufficent community of people that can think

@@Claymore1977 that isn't a hundred percent true. You tube alagorithims suggest what you would like. You don't have to watch it and can type in what you wan't to watch, but how do you know if you like something without watching it?

@@emelgiefro that is probably why there are so many shredder videos wasting tons of usefull wood.

Second best time is today!

Actually probably depends on weather and if you have irrigation or not.

WITH PAULOWNIA YOU CUT EVRY TWO YEARS IF WATER IT OR MABY 4-6 IF YOU WANT BIGER QUANTITY

@@zoranzoran9096 you use poulonia for firewood? It was mainly intended for carpentry, for it's fast growth, low weight and long grain. I am supposed to sell some now for firewood but at a price which is largely just to get rid of it.

I go every year to look at how local coppices are doing. It is like a huge laxative for the woodlands, cleans em out freshens em up, keeps em healthy. Its sad to see a once managed coppice left to rack and ruin. All that "leave it for insects and animals" is an excuse for idleness (or to get an eu grant??) Theres a wood not far from me where the hazel is 15 and 16 inches thick its been left so long without a crop, amazing actually

@National Localist So we should let them die? Probably best not to interject with ignorant opinions and let people that are knowledgeable about woodland management and forestry do their jobs.

@@Chooibah what is wrong with trees dying naturally. It is a part of the cycle of life. Are we humans so cocky we think forests can't survive without us? Yes whe can do positive things for forests but as a whole we definately do more damage.

@@user-bc3pc5gu2y Coppiced and pollarded trees live longer, and managed woodlands are demonstrably healthier. Of course trees can survive without intervention, just not as well and without the increased biodiversity that management brings.

@@Chooibah what about the giant sequa that died simply from the weight of people walking around it packing the soil.

Good luck my friend! Totally agree. Still don't have the balls, this end. 👻

Harry Brown MGH want to look at Honeydew carpenters channel for his rock mass heater design, and also look into a lumber processing machine, some of them are quite small for homestead use

BECAUSE NOT ALL TREES DO SUCH A THING

I understand his thinking, but it brings very many safety points that his screwing up. I for one would never leave such stumps around to people get trip and stab them selfs, or more importantly for me to do so, while working. Secondly its terrible practice to fell a tree from that hight 30cm up. First you have to cut it twice, so you dont leave stake traps around, or waste tree leaving in in forest, witch again wastes fuel and secondly you do it with small trees and you end up doing it with bigger ones that will probably in some point get you killed or injured. Tree falling should be done always so you can accurately as possible predict how tree will fall down, where the heavy end will fly off when it hits the ground. This comes with experience for seeing how trees move and is hard enough as is, as you cant see how hard ground is in places. Cutting it from that high, will add huge ass modifier to operation that makes it next to impossible to predict in witch point tree will slip off from stump, what direction and where it then will land, witch again effects how the heavy end swings. Specially dangerous in slope or area where you can get away fast even if you see it will flung at you by how it moves. I do like natural forest that is managed, not murdered to have clearing, but i also dont like such tangled mess that is created by coppicing method. I actually fight against it as it just suffocates sprouts after foresting and makes harvesting so much harder, than falling a bigger tree and chopping it up. Also bigger firewood burns longer, where sticks like these are gone in seconds due huge ass surface area compared to mass and dry much slower due bark, or could even start to rot depending on weather. Though i cant talk about British forests, but least from my experience in north these are the problems...

Leaving the sumps the way I do is the whole point of the coppicing process. The tree I felled with a high cut had a bend in it, so by cutting it the way i did it fell exactly where i wanted it to. I then cut it again to get the stump the way I wanted it. I didn't explain any of that in the video as it's a video about coppicing not how to fell a tree. Coppicing is a way of woodland management that has been practised here for many centuries and is a very effective may to extract the most usable wood from a small area. Where I live we don't have the luxury of large forests and if we did I certainly wouldn't be able to afford one!

Fully agree. A proper channel. I love the beer making video they do. A documentary version of Men Behaving Badly :)

Amen!

It's dangerous. Wearing, dungarees. The old chainsaw. The limited budget. I worked among chainsaw operators. On, a small holding. The pay, was terrible. Long, hours, and generally. I felt ineffective . I realise, that. If, a chainsaw. Is owned, they don't need a licence. But, using, a chainsaw owned by someone else. That requires, training. Smallholders, seem to have, such a great range of skills. My solution. Unfortunately is, not to use a chainsaw. I never, did that. I use, a hand saw or my hands, or a pruning knife. I just, try and get by. It's clever, really through. He, has beaten the poverty Trap by, buying land. He, is really clever.

Sure, they're dangerous tools. I look at his dungarees. Maybe he, has discovered. Some. Nope. He is making a mistake. Dungarees surely are a bad idea. I heard. That chainsaw operators get covered in oil.

Ain’t no joke. I had a patient who was in the woods cutting trees with a buddy. One friend mistakenly cut the others arm off at the shoulder. Like you said, before they knew what had happened they saw had already done the damaged. Had to amputate his arm.

Yourself? What about a wife and kids?

Keep going for it.

mojor struś What makes you think he has any?

@@CroatiaSurvival I dont know if he has. Thats why i ask,how will they fit there? If he doesnt have then no woman will want to live with him like that nor its suited for a family.

Thank you!

Brian Minghella I’ve made a conscious choice to avoid ash due to die back but in an ideal world I would have liked it I have used a wide variety to cope with future conditions what ever they may be

Thank you for the comment, nice to get an overseas perspective!

Thanks. I used to do conservation work in public areas so I feel for you on that one!

@@maximusironthumper My father did the same with the local council... He would end up in full blown arguments with poorly educated know it all's!

I agree! All fascinating, and very enjoyable.

Nick Ray Hear, hear. Love this channel.
