Great to see your cedar channel back in action. Looking forward to more episodes. This keeps me motivated to run my own mill.

Hi Jason, Great video! Thanks for the update on your soon-to-be forest! Hopefully the cones will be a big help. Thumbs up! Stay well! Jim

You should make a fenced in area, and pot a bunch, and putm in the ground, and let them get taller and stronger, then plant them.

Up in the Okanagan as a forester, we have been discussing for years about site plans post-harvest changing with due to climate change. A forest that may have been doug / lodgepole pine might be getting replanted as ponderosa, or at worst changing that site to a grassland. A tree planter friend of mine figures he's lost 70%+ die off to drought and fires. I know it's way more intensive, but doing site prep with a machine (trenching, pitting) may help with some water retention to stave off drought.

As long as you have the cones I would think the deer would help the trees by keeping at least some of the berry vines and other growth from shading the trees. By fencing the deers completely out it might just turn into a huge patch of vines.

Here in Wisconsin we eat the deer that eat our crops.

You guys have way more deer than we do. Blacktail evolved to survive winters on lichen that only grow on mature old growth forests. Most of that has been cut down and the deer are struggling in the winter. Only 1 buck per year per hunter.

There are spray-on deer repellents that have a latex base and smell Nasty! I was in a reforestation co-op in the 70s and it's sprayed on from a 5 gal backpack sprayer with a pump lever in one hand and a wand sprayer in the other. Contact silvaculture suppliers. One man could spray about 10 acres of the tops of young plantings in a day. Also, fir and hemlock might be better for a bit dryer climate, pine for real dry lake SE Oregon. However, the climate changes you're seeing now are probably temporary and a cedar / redwood / hemlock mix would be best then. That's a tough business, good luck.

Jason the cones would have been a better investment when you initially put the tree in. How dense did you plant? Down here in Cali We are supposed to plant 130/ acre, but only want 60/acre, our survival rates are a lot better than they were when the rules were written, so you might be ok. Also after mowing, spraying a preemergent to give the trees a head start over the brush helps too. i adds alot of cost but can reduce your growth times by 3-5 years which is big

Wire mesh around the trees put goats on there no weed problems and goats milk and or meat to market .

Hey man I am here from your prospecting video. I’m a woodworker and former hand cutter that wants to start prospecting. Maybe I can find some gold and trade for logs. 😂

Are you sure you didn't plant any with a J root? The bottom is turned up, and they die. Down here in the Sac valley the deer bust up my young redwoods scratching their new antlers. Break the lower branches right off from 10' trees. Thanks, Jason.

Have you experimented with sacrificial plantings like soybeans or clover around your established growth?

Which tubes are you using and how do you like them? The ones I've been looking at gave me sticker shock (with the blackberries, maybe pricker shock?). South Sound with heavy deer population. Thanks

Greenhouse them and or fence off a "nursery" area then transplant?

you need to put your deer in freezer camp ! that will help save your trees .

I heard that if you pee on each tree the deer will stay away, Put on the Coffee, and take a water pill.\

Saplings famously don’t survive. I’ve read the loss is often as much as 90%. One reason why planting vast forests just doesn’t work unless they are constantly maintained.
