We had our own bog in Glenties and many’s a happy time I had helping my father in the bog

[@d.g.n9392]

Reading an Irish story today, about rural life in Ireland. I wanted to see the turf cutting in a bog. Thanks for the nice video. I’m in St. Louis Missouri. USA

[@clayfada6993]

I have often worked in the bog footing turning and clamping,but i have never cut turf.

[@thomaskelly6554]

Special tool for digging the turf!

The man should have had his coat on in the torrential rain at the start.

[@hellooutthere8956]

I would love to spend a few days experiencing this. I think it is a genetic memory to identify with this. Specially the jig.

[@waynemartin2346]

Nice!

[@dfcvda]

we have a castle in Tallynally, go visit it one day!

[@kenderrysgreenpastures3662]

yes indeed, the sacred fuel from the earth. still cutting a few sods to keep the home fires burning.

[@thomaskelly6554]

Turf fires..nice Aroma !

whats left of the area once all peat has gone??

[@blackthaioptional]

800 year old wood likely worth more than that turf.
