My first legit Clear cut♻️

[@cullenmiller8170]

Definitely a different style of logging and trees than what I’m used to seeing in Washington. Getting people to understand proper forest management is like banging yourself in the head with a choker bell. 😂

[@LoggerWade]

Amen on that

[@heatherlane9270]

It's important to understand the forest floor and the regeneration of trees. This is a prime example of that. What a difference a clear cut is - must have been a great experience.

[@garywest8901]

Thanks for sharing your Dads wisdom buddy . Knows his stuff,. Great visual example . Keep them coming buddy ,

[@terryrogers1025]

Logger Wade, thanks for tour of the woods and the explanations on the select cut and clear cut. There’s a place and time for everything. Thanks for the ride along.

The deer are going to love that clear cut in a couple years 😃😂😃

[@maxobara1496]

Wade love the visual and history lesson here on the difference of clearing and select cutting, nicely put!!👍🇺🇸

[@michaelmullins1290]

Some snazzy cutting at the end. The information is priceless. A friend of mine was wondering about select and clear cutting. Thanks

[@jimharbison7589]

Great video logger Wade ,wish you would come to Montana and explain to them about forestry ,keep up the good work

[@LoggerWade]

Thanks Jim I would try

[@kylejones2075]

And the work speaks for itself but you're right a lot of small stuff in there and they grow up so tall that they can't they can't let the other trees grow but thanks for sharing love the channel

[@SirBoden]

I judge all woods based on delicious squirrel density. 😋 Edit: I grew up in a place and time that if you wanted to eat you went hunting or fishing. We managed the forest to maximize critter occupancy. Cut wood and pulled it with mules.

[@LoggerWade]

Yes bud I know a few land owners Stull work that way he wanted me to leave all his smaller hickorys... I was blown away but he told me about the same thing you just did

It's good to have that knowledge after years of experience big daddy thought he was probably doing it right. Lesson learned thanks for sharing that with us. Stay safe

[@LeeintheWoods]

I really enjoyed this one Wade! I'm not sure if everyone will notice the difference in the two areas you showed us but I sure did. It gives me a few things to think about with my property now. Keep up the good work!

[@lukeabendroth8157]

All trees eventually die so you might as well manage them the best you can to get the most value you can out of them. Sometimes it’s better to select cut an area or just wack them all down and start over. Clear cuts usually look crappy when first done but a few years later it’s full of little new trees. Clear cuts are also great fire breaks for forest fires because young trees don’t usually burn like older drier forests.

[@jameswilson322]

Thanks wade , keep em coming driver!

[@joshsteiner2760]

Thanks for the forestry explanation . Happy cutting. Have a good one.

Thats way calaforina burns every year ,you had a good point on there problem too .

[@CMDSR]

Clear cut is sop around here. Then replant in Loblolly Pine. I’m in my 60’s and trees. I planted while working for the Virginia Forestry Dept. over the summer in high school have been thinned at 20 years for pulp wood then clear cut at 40 years for saw timber. Those same plots are being replanted again with pine. In my lifetime that 100 acres has been harvested 3 times. If the good Lord lets me live to 75 I’ll see them cut a 4th time.

[@Fatamus]

OMG CLEAR C U T ? 😱 Oh no we are all in trouble now ... How can I say this softly ... Like a lost cherry, tree 🍒.... 😉😉. Next week he'll be gnawing down phone poles and railroad signs. Pandora's Box has been opened and the world will never be the same again .... until tomorrow. 🤣😂🤣😂 Always a fun time with Brutus.👍 Thanks for the vijit

[@hendersonlandworks6158]

@@LoggerWade that’ll work sir I appreciate it!

[@kat2641]

You know? It alway amassed me on how Brutus can cut an handle the trees! I know how much a full adult tree can weighs and the weight of the tree is controlled by hydraulics which are in close control by little rubber hydraulic hoses. How on earth does Brutus when handling that Weight of the tree not just blow the steel reinforced hydraulic hoses in pieces let alone not up end Brutus off it’s tracks!! Especially when you look at it from a mathematical perspective. The longer the length Of the tree the more the weight Multiplies on Brutus’s arms and hydraulic hoses . It just defies logic thinking 🤔 10 pounds is 10 pounds but put that 10 pounds on the end of a 20 foot pole an the weight Multiplies itself tenfold. It’s just A amazing machine an Basically defies the law gravity…. But I have select cut My whole life An never thought about the growth difference between a clear cut and select cut

[@LoggerWade]

It's like carrying a broom stick. If ya get the top weight out of the circle it's over

[@kenore4003]

Managing forestry is not a "What's good for the bottom line today" thing . It a 40 to 50 year project. In England on those massive estates the tree plantings were planned for a 50 year timeline to a mature tree. The planners would plant a future tree then encourage the underbrush and competing trees to force the target tree to develop on plan. The competing plants would be trimmed and managed to create the desired showcase tree. Obviously a loooo g term plan.

[@LoggerWade]

Copy that thanks for sharing

[@waynetharp]

Ole Brutus cleared er right out like a weed whip in a side ditch!👍 I follow exactly what Big Daddy is getting at but a crystal ball to tell a landowner the future market price and demand for certain types of trees in 20-30-40 years down the road. Would also be awesome in determining what to do with property. Without getting into numbers...How much difference in cost per acre would their be for a property owner to have a logger clear cut versus select? Thanks for the vidja and enjoy the cooler temps over the next 7-10 days!

[@LoggerWade]

Thats a very good point to Wayne I have seen the public fall totally out of love with red oak and cherry and move to maple and poplar in my career

[@waynetharp]

@@LoggerWade I am sure those excellent hardwoods will one day come back in trend like so many things...It just makes a decision of what to keep and what to cut very hard. Especially when you only get 1 or maybe 2 chances to cash in during a life time. 👍

Yes the global control using idealogical thinking ,there will be pain until the cycle comes back around ,until then smell the trees,the clean air around them 😃 In NZ forests are sold to overseas investment,so they can claim Carbon credits ,makes them feel good I suppose ,but I bet if they didn't have them ,what they are associated with is proba not good for the planet
