Good documentary, thanks for uploading.

[@joshcoppicemerchant595]

Found this about 2 years ago, inspired me to become a Coppice merchant, I’ve now worked some of the woods Bill worked, and even the one in this video; black beck woods in Bouth!

[@paddydoyle4234]

Are you still doing coppicing? Looking at getting into it myself, plenty of overstood coppices around here.

[@somethingblank1589]

Nice to know.

I remember watching this on tv years ago so pleased to have found it again. Those to old lads are such an inspiration. Thanks for putting that up.

[@ianrotherham9523]

Absolutely - they were inspirational and future generations will owe them a great debt. Cheers. Ian

Very, very interesting! Such variety of things that can be done with the wood of even small sizes, and a source to be had without killing the trees. Pleasant, soft-spoken narrator also. Only trouble with this video is that it's not nearly long enough! Thank you for posting!

man the credits song is a real jam

[@stephenrice4554]

Used to have coppices all around Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, charcoal kilns working morning noon and night , healthy managed woodland and all the useful by products for thatchers , fencers , tent makers etc . Then plastic turned up and poisoned the land properly .

Plastic turned up and poisoned the land ?

I remember watching this when this was first shown. How wonderful to be able to watch it again. I'm one happy chap

[@joshuamacha2150]

Glad you like it. Ian

We make brooms like that in the Philippines, just made of coconut and palm instead. We call those walis-tingting.

[@tomo1168]

this is a very interesting video

[@juliadean2473]

Such an important video. People don't realise how much we'll lose if woodlands aren't managed. I don't know if I'm wrong to get upset about it but I see soo many woodlands being totally taken over by laurels. Am I wrong to detest it. The area seems dark and a tangle of low intertwining branches and no birds or insects. Is it mainly to make a barricade?

[@bcitral]

What a special man and a lost art.

[@jasonhewlett1283]

I remember seeing this on channel 4 I think. R I P. BILL .

[@trevordeane3940]

If you know what you are doing, respect nature and are willing to live in harmony with trees, there is some much you can do in a forest.

[@jonathanself6985]

Thank you! I could watch this stuff all day! Is there more of this program? Where can I find it?

[@unclesilas2905]

Anemone on KZbin has some good content

[@mariyadaz]

Excellent management for small acerage

[@gedhuffadine1873]

When the England was not nutsgreatt watch!

[@fisharmor]

The question everyone wants to know is, have any of these guys ever cut open a wolf's stomach and pulled out a grandmother? Seriously though, hats off to these gents living the dream. If I had more than 1/4 acre... Well, TBH I've always wanted a hazel for its nuts, and you've just given me a proper excuse to get one.

[@ianrotherham9523]

You are very welcome. Enjoy the French one as well! Please pass on to others and do visit my blog - ianswalkonthewildside.wordpress.com/ Ian

[@christopherhinton6456]

the old ones dont want to pass on the skills .

[@bonnieblue4424]

You should consider also posting this on Odysee or some other utoob alternative. Many people (me included) prefer not to watch utoob.
