This is a great video. We bought some land that was clear cut about 6 or 7 years ago and naturally re-grew and its very thick. I was thinking that the trees need to be thinned heavily just to make better deer habitat. Many of the trees are only a foot or two apart so this video is very relatable for me. Thank you for taking time to make it!

I do it in nova scotia. And its thick. The only time i get a break is to do weeding problem with that is bald faced hornets. They nest in the shorter trees. You gotta keep ur eyes peeled. I hit a nest the size of a basketball got stung over 20 times

The brush cutter is a 53.3 CC Husqvarna 555FX.

You don't need to buy the brush cutter to do it yourself on a small stand....machete and or a small hand chainsaw is fine.
