video description
There's a lot of valuable advice he'll be able to pass along to you, and of course the biggest reason being safety. We don't have to tell you, staying safe while you're alone or out in the woods is #1 before anything, those techniques will do you well sir! And I imagine it'll be a good bit of content.
Enjoy your property brother, I know it has to be like medicine for the soul!

Thanks for this exceptional summary of accomplishments over the past year. Looking at all you and your Dad have achieved, I see nothing that should be regretted. How you repurposed that magnificent fallen tree was truly amazing. The memories you've created are priceless. I wish you and your Dad many more years of working in the woodland and teaching all of us what's involved in managing this wonderful gift of nature. Your passion and stewardship are admirable. I look forward to what lies ahead.

I like your idea of preserving the woodland, that being said I absolutely hate barb wire fencing. It can be extremely harmful too animals. It is also telling and sends a message of mine mine mine stay out. Only humans believe they own the land, not one other animal is unwilling too share what God gave all of us. Remove the fencing. put up signs instead. He who tells the most truth is most hated. Do better and cut the vines of greed out of your life. We own nothing and return too the earth.

I agree that blind/shelter was an excellent idea. add a hot tent stove to it and it can act as a shelter when your there if needed or a warm work place in winter. it doesnt need tables or chairs. just floor space. even if it doubles for storage doesnt matter. if it starts to storm heavily when your there and need to shelter poof you have a ready made place to go. or even as a lunch stop for a weekend work trip

Oak. is an excellent place to grow shitake mushrooms. not only a great food source BUT also a good income if done in larger quantities.
.
quarter some rounds and lay them around after inoculation with the mushroom spores and watch them go. even if they dont get fully harvested for your own use. they will provide excellent soil for the rest of the area to grow even better with.

Are there any game animals available there? I had heard that if you are a land owner in the uk you have to manage certain animals as well.
Addendum: I really have to learn to finish watching the video before asking a question. My family has a woodland in northern Ontario, middle of nowhere feel, and the fall scent of the property is nearly intoxicating.

You are so right about the road noise (The amount of times I've laid there in a tent in the middle of the night, with owls contacting each other or just plain silence, then to hear a vehicle going past. With me, I'm wondering who's in the vehicle, a courting couple, a nightclub manager or a group of people in a taxi heading home, that sort of thing.

My goal is to own my own woodland, although I don't have any savings, and each time I look, the prices go up, I've heard to best way to do this in my circumstances is to loan the money required as the interest would be less than saving up and buying as by the time I have enough the prices would be a lot more than interest charged initially.

Great content as always. I'm keen to explore the idea of purchasing my own woodland. There is a property on my radar that have a large woodland area that is included in the property.
I'm keen to know what avenues you took to aquire your own woodland and what is the price range?
Keep up the great work.
All the very best.

Good story, good aditude Mike. I can advise you to read Peter Wohleben, Hidden live of trees. For a new and other view on woodland manegement as we know it. We are not stewards, we are gast in the woodlands. Nature managed it self 300. 000 years without us. The last 300 years we interfere is not to be prowed of. Just a thought.

Fact is, that Mother Nature is the manager who created, preserved, trimmed, burnt, fertilized, revitalized etc, all of Earth s woodlands before we began to take over. Nature has dynamic balances, and doesn t seem to be emotionally attached to static balances.
How are we doing, Mom?

Good on you lad. I'm also from the UK. The dream of owning your own land is a little harder to achieve here than it seems to be for some other countries. I've been watching homestead, small holding videos for the last few years while working a full time job I hate. Really happy for you. This is a great achievement

Lovely content as always. Just a small note, standing deadwood is incredibly important ecologically. From The Woodland Trust: The rarest kind of deadwood is that of dead trees which still stand. [. ] those allowed to remain in place offer incredibly valuable habitat for wildlife that can live nowhere else.

Every once and a while one of your always excellent videos jumps out and 'sticks'. This for me was one of those videos. Your honest and deep felt emotions towards this wonderful wood really comes across. I really enjoyed your attitude and humility as you grow with the woodland around you. Thanks!
