We did this in Canada back in the 1980s, it was used for reclamation of previously logged areas. In the middle of the cables we had a steel ball maybe 3 meter wide and filled it with water.

many historically forested areas were replaced with farmland then that farmland was abandoned and invasive species can pop up and pose more of a fire and ecological hazard than well planned agroforestry operation or intact native forest. this actually seems likely a very effective form of chop and drop and looks like it would be fantastic for removing invasive blackberries and pine monocultures in favor of mixed stands of timber nut and fruit trees.

Honestly wish that they'd at least plant more trees after deforesting an area instead of just deforesting a massive area and not planting any trees to compensate for it. Trees are a vital and important aspect of our lives, they take the CO2 we exhale and create through man made processes and converts it into breathable oxygen through photosynthesis, they're a very important and vital thing to our daily lives. Without trees we humans would actually cease to exist, they're extremely important and vital to the cycle of life.

[@urbanbasementoperator]

The anchor chain knows where it is at all times by subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the anchor chain is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it may be corrected by the GEA.

You know the first clip was old growth woodlands right? I get it with regrowth, but that one was disturbing.

It was amazing to see how efficient the whole process is...

We have several acres and some of it gets overgrown. Instead of hiring someone with a tractor and a brush hog each time, we made a heavy drag to pull behind my AWD Subaru Outback. It's an 6 foot length of telephone pole, with chain link fence wrapped around it. A tow chain is attached at each end, with a trailer hitch ball welded to the center of the "V." The hitch ball goes in the receiver hitch on my Outback and I just take off driving. I can clear 2 acres in an hour if I drive slow.

[@davidlove47]

That can’t leave it very visually appealing afterwards? You could just hire somebody who specializes in clearing like myself and get it done quicker and visually appealing after…

[@justdoingitjim7095]

It's the back part of my property that no one sees anyway. I have contacted a few people about clearing it, but people around here want $600 or more just to unload their equipment! Some say it's not profitable to come out for just 3 1/2 acres and don't even quote me a price. It only has to be done once a year and it only takes me about 2 hours of driving around in air conditioning, listening to the radio, so why not just save that money?@@davidlove47

[@brettjern3264]

How do they get the trees up after the uproot them? I mean u still have to move them to farm there

[@alecdacyczyn]

It was as if a billion environmentalists cried out all at once and were suddenly silenced.

Looks like sections of railroad track welded to the chain

[@deere7227]

That's not much of a forest so i doubt it grows much of a crop. That's a long way from cleaned up to farm. This is the bull in a china shop method

The should cut then down and at least use the wood! Energy is expensive!

[@dundonrl]

I'm sure they will.

[@woodlandwrench]

Or mulch it into the ground. The dead vegetation provides very nice nutrients to the soil.

[@topduk]

Energy is only artificially expensive. Nuclear power was initially sold to the public as too cheap to meter. Of course they soon figured out how to squeeze the public. A similar scam is charging for radio licenses.

[@adi7795]

What they going to do next with all the stump and brush left?

[@iandaniel2153]

They put it in piles and burn it on their sacrificial alters of making bucks.

I was bout to say, I don't live in dense forest but this looks great for clearing all the desert crap off the ground and scraping it clean where I live.

[@kryptokrypto702]

Always found it ironic all the people living in wood framed homes on land that used to be forest while eating crops and livestock complaining about deforestation.

[@amazingstuff6396]

For what purpose they do this

[@RNJuiceable]

clearing old, dead, and easily burned trees as well as invasive, non-native species then replanting new trees
