As a small Woodlot owner, I appreciated your video.

[yvesjolicoeur]

you should call this approach ''Surgical Forestry Management'' .... love it

[marybelfordsmith]

Simeon, this is a wonderful series. I really enjoy both your, and your brother's, explanations, experience and respect for what you're doing to husband your land. Thank you for such great content!

[fredthorne]

Great camera, content, & ambient effects. I especially enjoyed the information regarding the entomological focus of biodiversity. We need the six and eight legged critters, and lots of different ones.

Tim is really good at his work. Sometimes it looks like he is dancing with the trees as he is cutting them on the ground. :) You are definitely improving your forests. Good video!

[Theorimlig]

Great stuff. A really neat way of managing a forest on a homesteading scale, and Tim is a real pro. It's obvious that he both knows and cares a lot about what he does.

[TheBonnieberry]

Wonderful footage...and you gave great explanation...God's best...

[raymondhodge]

Great video as always, your brothers really knows what he is doing, it's a pleasure watching him use his saw.

[danieldowning]

Great work Tim. You are a great timber man.

[DennisEugene]

Excellent!  I am impressed with Tim and how he moves while handling the saw.  Notice that he is not stumbling around losing his balance or tripping on things.  He never overextends or takes unnecessary risks.

I wish our birch was that straight, the stuff we have here in our public park had been left to long to it’s own devices, so now I have job taking out all the bent and half rotten ones, I am replanting with Scots pine beech and oak, with the odd larch . We are in Aberdeenshire Scotland, love you vids. Charlie.

Loved this video of you guys who love to be outside in the forest.

[manuelkeats]

I love these type vids....totally enjoyable

[krysil]

I love seeing you open up the forest. Beautiful. I imagine the mild winter is playing havoc with working in it. Here we have more snow than we've had in years.

I have a small woodlot here in Connecticut,  about 12 ac and your videos are very helpful for proper management. I also have 7 Rhode Island Reds and your chicken videos are interesting. I always give a like, your presentation is very good, almost like a neighbor helping me out.

Excellent woodlot management, leaving 3-5 snags per acre is very beneficial to the forests ecosystem

[markosman]

Fascinating to see how you brothers are so in tune with the woodland and what works best, where and why. Thank you

[danielschneider]

Thanks for another really informative video. It's very cool that Timm seems to be getting more comfortable in front of the camera: he clearly has a lot of worthwhile knowledge that he can share, and having him there to talk about farm-scale forestry gives a much more complete picture of how a farm works here.

[miraleatardiff]

Please thank your brother for me (from Canada).
We have a lot of forest on our farm that needs work, and your brother is teaching me how best to do the thinning/culling - what stays, what goes.
I never would have thought to leave the dead standing, and his explanation why makes complete sense. I was planning on leaving some for the woodpeckers (nesting)- I didn't even think of the insects and arachnids (woodpecker food).

Also, I will be using his/your videos to show the guys here just how to properly wedge and cut a tree, especially leaving that inch of uncut wood to stabalise the tree so it won't fall back at you (different video, I know) - My guys (husband and friends) have been doing it wrong.

[AndreRMeyer]

great woodsy videos, delightful.
Tim is the man, for sure.
