Cutting a Trail Through the Bush with Minimal Tools

[@CritThinkr]

Just bought my first house and have a little land in the back I’m trying to make a trail through. This video is a godsend! Limited tools and resources, it helped motivate me that it’s really possible. Love the focus on working safely. 🎉

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

I cleared another small food plot last week with the same tools. in about 4 hours i cleared 1/4 to the ground. Ready to weed kill!!

[@daleval2182]

Im 64 now finally got a JD tractor, with a mulcher, when i was yer age, my BF and i built countless miles, with machete, saw and had cutters, its damn hard work, we worked harder on weekends that at work all week, but those rides and adventure great stuff, i moved to a new farm to retire, bad feet, so now i ride a cab, and walk through all new bush, to have a place the wife and I can ride, side by side, i hope the kids back home use amd maintain my years of work, good way to stay in shape, and love life, riding and hunting, good video

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

It can be hard work no doubt. Especially in swampy areas or in thick bush. I'm lucky as it is not all that thick here. I just bought a new 1025r this spring with a chipper to help clean up more of the brush on the trails and around my place. Thanks for the comment!!

Im trying to make a path dont have many tools...what do i do about thorn vines?

[@waggawaggaful]

Beautiful woods! You’ve got something really special out there.

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

Its pretty darn nice out here!!

[@canadian_wolf8395]

Most of the brush depending how big I just leave there and then just rip through the trail a bunch of times with my 6x6 and that packs them down and then once they are down they will add extra traction when it’s muddy

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

we walk the trails, snowmobile, take the dog out, etc. So i generally try to keep my trail as clean as i can.

[@canadian_wolf8395]

@@AdamCraigOutdoors I use mine just for ripping around and having fun so the condition of mine doesn’t matter to much

Great video! I’m buying both!

Hope you enjoy it!

Me and my dad just brought a Milwaukee battery powered chainsaw and hedge trimmers and cleared ground for a new trail for a fourwheeler

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

i have mostly Milwaukee tools and have thought about getting one for clearing trails and work around the yard.

[@WesternNyBigfoot]

Can that blade cut through berry bushes??

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

oh yes. It cuts through wild raspberries with ease. It will cut small maples and pines. Where leather work boots because if the blade comes off you could be in trouble!!

[@shawndubay4050]

Good choice of tools. The trimmer sounds a little bit lean on the high speed adjustment screw. Give it about a quarter to half turn out and it should hit its full throttle power band of about 10,000 rpm and should sound like it hits a rev limiter. I tune two strokes and pretty much do this to every peice of equipment that comes in to be repaired.

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

That whipper has been a bit of a pain. lol

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

I used my stihl saw a lot. this summer clearing shooting lanes. The deer and bears will use those trails too. They like the path of least resistance. Good luck with the deer hunting

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

easiest way to clear small trails and shooting lanes. love mine!

[@Hockeymike16]

I've heard trimmer, weedwhacker, weed eater, weed whip, but never whipper snipper haha

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

lol glad you enjoyed!!

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Thanks for the tips. It's good for me being a city boy to learn this stuff lol.

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

Hey no prob. We all needed to learn something from someone atleast once in our life.

[@Slippindisc]

Hundred, hundred and twenty feet of trail to blaze, find two or three trees on the ground in the morning. Pretty standard trail cutting party

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Good tips Adam 👍 Good luck hunting Trails are looking good

“Might be goin’ to emerg” I love that this dude has been to the hospital enough to have slang for emergency room 🤣

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

nope, i don't go to the hospital unless an organ is hanging out. super glue most cuts that should get stitched up!!
