Trimming grass with a Scythe

[@Sionnach1601]

I love the 'swishing/mowing' sound of the grass being cut. It's such a thoroughly relaxing, peaceful sound.

[@bobbyleglocks1992]

Doing a landscaping job, ran out of gas clearing this massive field. We were wondering what to do, leave the job and I saw the owner had 4 of these scythes all sharp, we kept going with those and got a lot done. I showed everyone because I watched this video. And then we found out we did have more gas in the back of the truck haha. But it was a good time and we finished.

[@hayride5953]

I enjoy all of your videos. Growing up Amish, we learned to sweat and not complain. The barefoot is familiar but not the scythe. My hat is off to you and am proud of a young person willing to do things with less. A rare commodity! Her skill indicates she's done this before.

[@maxdecphoenix]

what did you mow with without a scythe? Herbivores?

[@TheBrownsberg]

I want the new samsung s7, no you get a scythe. Respect for the woman, heritage and a meaningfull life. This is what life is about.

[@Michael_Schmitz]

Thank you for making a scything video that involves hills and obstacles--much more useful than watching someone mow a flat field!

[@Hevva67]

That was mostly flat.

[@kevinwilkinson1510]

Thank you. I have yet to mow a single blade of grass and this video and others are giving me the confidence that I can scythe 250 year old cemeteries here in Vermont.

[@Nobody-11B]

What an awesome life! In all these videos one thing stands out and that's the lack of non-work related sounds. No drone of the modern world in the background no planes or cars, it's wonderful to say the least. I live 10 minutes from the nearest road and I don't have that level of quite. I envy your Stillness.

[@PrinceWesterburg]

A beautiful lady killing dandelions - I could watch this all day!!!

[@ragnarlothbrok8355]

i love who chose to live in rural areas. they are so talented and mostly naturally beautiful. respect and love!

[@PeterVJaspersFayer]

BTW, the thing in the hip holster is a whetstone. The pro I saw doing this (around 1968) would zip it along the blade every ~50 swings.

[@triumphmanful]

Yes I saw it right off. I am going out and sharpen mine now ! Incentive !

[@JanColdwater]

OMG! Look at all that Dandelion! Tea and salad greens with pretty yellow flowers as a sprinkled topping! Very healthy for you! Yum!

[@uldymuldy]

beautiful! A real princess! Everyone is dreaming of that kind girl!

[@kaivido]

scytheworks(dot)ca sells scythes such as these, though the snath used in this video was homemade. -Ashley

[@MrHarpette]

Interesting that both handles are on the same side of the snath

[@murtezalilaragaclar1004]

Hello. You reminded me of my adolescence, I mowed a lot of meadows too. You too, You mow a very beautiful meadow. The Netherlands is green all over. thank.

[@azerberjankey]

In these days of plastic surgery, pretentious 'celebrities' I'm a Kardashian with money admire my wealth...This video is refreshingly beautiful, simplistic and shows fulfilment and happiness is often disguised as hard work.

[@Sionnach1601]

God she is beautiful! Doing beautiful work - the two just go, so well together!!

[@TheStockwell]

Very inspirational and educational. I'm on a small bit of land in Northern Vermont. My neighbors use sit-down, gas powered mowers and I just don't see myself spending that kind of money when I want the backyard to look more like a meadow - not a lawn. I'm sure there must be a more natural time-proven method to take care of my little bit of land. I just found it. No - thank YOU!

[@BlueRidgeMtns100]

It's called goats to browse the growth down and then a sheep or two (depending on acreage) to shear the grass. You can't let either one stay on the same ground for very long.

[@brenwyn7]

I've just started scything and have found your videos inspirational and very educational. I thank you for these! My biggest problem/fear with scything is snakes. The Missouri Ozarks are full of them, and I know I'm going to run into one one of these days!

[@triumphmanful]

snake for dinner on the barbie !

[@maxdecphoenix]

if you keep your blade sharp, snake will never know what hit it. I was scything the other morning and looked down by my foot and saw a frog that I had sliced in half.

[@bhaygood7306]

That right sharpe tool no problems one swing but bet no one will walk up behind u 👍🙏

[@123TauruZ321]

How about burning the field before scything or something?

[@MrHarpette]

Snakes will hear your approach scything and flee.

[@michaels6821]

Dandelions are not flowers, city people, they are weeds. I thought her cat was going to jump on her shoulder. Thank you for the demonstration. Not wearing shoes or gloves. None of the demonstrators in any videos. That's dedication. Most people have no idea how much it hurts "tenderfoots" to walk on that rocky soil. I personally know that wielding a maddock or hoe can blister your hands to pieces, no matter what kind of gloves you wear. They aren't wearing any. Think about that.

[@LitoGeorge]

Extremely useful weeds, mind 👍

[@framfull]

2:28 minutes without cheching an Iphone, must be unique these Days. Glad these people still exists.

[@featheryfemme]

@@rollomaughfling380 Exactly lmao. I see people complaining all the time about how "people are too attached to their devices" on social media using the very devices they're complaining about.

[@fatdad64able]

Wow.....this girl knows how to operate a scythe. She'll give you a close shave with this thing. Forget weedeaters.

[@juanjmencias]

La constancia, la dedicación y amor por el trabajo hace fuerte y fervorosos a las personas, Fuerza y fe para todos. Tomemos ejemplo los caballeros de esta dama. Mil felicitaciones

[@geoffringham1051]

WOW ! What a relaxing video to watch. And very informative😁. What bozos marked this down ? Wankers 😈

[@1sgbrewer]

Most excellent. I havent seen cutting like this since I lived in Germany.

[@OldEDad]

Inspiring, and beautifully done.

[@claytonfs]

That blade must be real sharp. and love the cat in the tree, mine does the same!

[@waldekb8549]

Good work. Where do You live? What are You doing in 2020 year. Do You have any new videos?

[@extraart1]

Where is this? Looks like beautiful country

[@adambier2415]

I came her for Scything and got distracted by a cat. Typical internet problems. :-p

[@MrFlyingturtle3]

What type of flowers are those?

[@U.S.MarineGrunt1775]

She is just naturally Beautiful

[@sevenhorse8563]

[@chummytoystv7471]

[@timowthie]

She came, she scythed, and she Conquered.

[@TheTolz0]

How often do you have to sharpen the blade?

[@PoutinePete]

That must be one sharp scythe to do that.

[@leotomma3494]

Instead of watching her cut grass ,I-d be out there helping her. Great video

[@anthonymctigue9038]

GREAT TO C YOU ABLE TO WORK THE SCYTHE BUT LEAVE THE FLOWERS FOR BEES YOU ARE GOOD AT MOWING BEST FROM EIRE

[@BennettWilliams]

I'm selling my mower and getting a scythe. Would much rather do this than deal with gasoline, noise, smell, and mechanical b.s.. Besides, my mower is only 22" wide. A scythe can cut 9' wide and give you a great workout. Done deal.

[@juanmatus100]

[@timmowers435]

Yeah, It's been ages since I've seen a woman wear a skirt that went below her knees!

[@hotice8885]

+Tim Mowers I said that SAME thing to myself. Girls in other countries need just as badly to see this. This girl looks beautiful (real talk), and to intensify it, is willing to do THIS kind of work? #RARE

[@briana3467]

Something tells me you're wrong.

[@sydneyb.267]

I am out with my scythe almost every day year round. In America. Because I am American. Perhaps if YOU went out and worked like that you would find that out.

[@johnsmith4630]

Wjere is this???

[@cattmann1405]

And the neat thing about this is you don't have to worry about whether or not your trimmer will start or if you have enough mixed gas...here you just feed her a good breakfast and off she goes!...

[@cattmann1405]

I've never had one that sharp!

[@ericlindstrom8868]

[@kombo731]

This is good use for a scythe: small area.

[@АлександрБойцов-н3л]

Складная и умелая. Милота.

[@1benny09]

In spring before grass grow, all area must be raked, than grass can be scythed.

[@wiezyczkowata]

I wouldn't be able to scythe barefoot, knowing my luck I would end up losing couple of toes

[@Robert_St-Preux]

You must have very long toes.

[@wiezyczkowata]

@@Robert_St-Preux no, just a very bad luck with sharp objects :-)

[@coskunkura1440]

Where is there

[@LutzDerLurch]

Takes some skill to do it that neatly. And this is exactly how the lawns in gardens of mansions and manors used to be cut. By people with well hones skills and scythes

[@maxdecphoenix]

ugh... everything used to be cut by scythe, not just lawns.

[@LutzDerLurch]

Obviously, but decorative lawns take more skill. Nobody cares what a meadow of a field look like, after whatever was on it had been cut. efficiency, not beauty was king. To closely cut a lawn evenly with a scythe required extra attention and skill

[@sydneyb.267]

I Agree. I have a lawn and a rougher area on a hill and by a creek on my half-acre property. The hill and creek bottom were easy to get cut. It took me two summers to get my scythe and my skills adjusted to get a consistently good result on the lawn area--thank goodness for patient neighbors. Now it is a relaxing and meditative activity. Neighbors think I'm crazy, but they thought that anyhow!

[@lazarx5384]

Good camo on that scythe 😆

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

How much for the girl i wont to buy the girl. are you going to use that grass for feed

[@adrianpinagel6979]

[@sydneyb.267]

It is common practice to scythe barefoot as gives you a direct connection with the Earth. It is impossible to cut yourself when using the scythe properly.

[@adrianpinagel6979]

I need to try this sometime
