Winter Bushcraft Projects: Big Ash Tree | Snow | Saw Horse [EPISODE 1]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- Winter snow arrived early in the woods. Join me as I go through what winter bushcraft projects I am planning to do in my woodland. I build a sawhorse from hazel trees that had blown down in a storm. I also begin work on bucking up the top of the giant fallen ash tree and stack the logs ready for seasoning for use next year. I also survey the various trees on my land, and set up trail cameras to try and see what wildlife walk through the woodland during darkness and daylight hours. I also relief cut some of the ivy that is growing up the ancient oak trees on the border of my woods. Thanks for watching, episode 2 coming soon!

WOODLAND LIFE - EPISODE 1: Here we go!! The adventure begins. I hope you enjoy following along on this one with me. Here is the playlist for you to catch every single episode: th-cam.com/play/PLxnadpeGdTxCwRkZTLMhjbT_EAu6bAIZy.html
This is also my dream to own my own woodland. Will you also be looking at adding bird boxes, hides etc would love to see they wildlife as well as the bushcraft and management. Keep up the good work Mike
Great episode Mike. The problem with beehives is that honey bees are pretty much domesticated animals, and they will get to the pollen and nectar before the native species have chance. Providing places for our natural species will improve diversity, and give the native species, who are the ones under the greatest pressure, will do wonders for the native population. A beehive is a lot of mouths to feed! I've made amazing twisted walking sticks from inch and a half thick ivy stems. Just strip the bark and dry them out. Each one is completely unique. Keep up the great work, and try and stop smiling so much, some of us are already jealous enough, without you rubbing it in!!!! 🤣🤣
Mike, what would really be cool is creating a canoe out of the ash tree. Just a thought :) no idea if it’s a good one tho lol
How big is the woods and how much was it? Curious as im looking to do the same thing
Edit: also, how did you find one without a 'no shooting' covenant?
Loving your videos. Something I noticed in this video deals with your trail cameras. You might want to consider lowering them to about mid belly height, you'll likely find you'll get more photos, particularly at night.
I pray to God you’re not going to apologize all through this to those oh so sensitive souls that have jumped on to centre stage in every aspect of life as of late. You enjoy and share, which is extremely generous of you. We are along for the ride and what a ride it has been so far. Much love and gratitude.
Your decisions are always to help, not to harm. If people don't like the decisions you've made, perhaps they need to remember it is your woodland, not theirs. Suggestions are great, but they should be there to help out, not to demand.
I love your ideas for the largest tree: a little of one thing, and a little of another. I think I like that you'll be using that beautiful straight lumber for planing it and using it for structures. I also like the fact that since it is your woodland, you can take firewood home to your family as well. Excellent, thought out, really enjoying watching you plan what you're doing. If only most woodland management were as thoughtful. Thanks for taking us along on this journey. This is definitely something new for me.
NOTICE those complex rootlets associated with the ivy branches. They are growing INTO the oak AND deriving moisture and nutrients at the expense of the oak. For TREE LOVERS such as I am, you are SAVING glorious oak trees.
WOW this is a GREAT comment. So glad to have a FELLOW tree lover such as I. Thanks for COMMENTING.
You can almost sense those magnificent trees breathing a sigh of relief as Mike began his work! 👏🏻👏🏻
@@TubeMeisterJC Ivy Does take the trees water and nutrients. It takes it from the soil that the trees roots grow in acting as direct unwanted competition for the tree. Once established it also competes for available light and provides a home for pests and diseases thus weakening the tree and making side branches more likely to snap. I would have removed it too.
@@TubeMeisterJC Moisture is your word not mine - I said water. Have you any idea how many gallons of water a large plant takes up and transpires a day?? In summer in dry spells that can cause real problems for the tree. Not all British woodlands are rainforests.
Tree lover here too 🏕
YOUR PROPERTY ... YOUR DECISIONS ... DO WHAT YOU CAN AND AS YOU WILL ... I'LL BE WATCHING FOR YOU !!
I’m sure you know you’ve not only purchased a legacy for your family but also years of TH-cam content. That also creates a legacy for your family and all of us. Thanks so much!
I’m glad you will mill that big Ash (we’ll want to see that!) and glad you’re getting rid of some of the ivy. I’ve seen English ivy wreak havoc and kill lots of trees here in the PNW. Never mind the naysayers.
Lastly…Safety First sir. When processing wood alone be sure you have an IFAK with at least a tourniquet and an Israeli bandage.
Mike it's your land mate you do what you want, you've earned it, don't worry what people think. People who watch and subscribe know you don't have to prove your love, respect and reverence for mother nature.
Some of the thicker ash sections could be split and carved into plates and trays for Bushcraft use. I agree with you: (1) it's YOUR Land and YOUR Decision. (2) PROPER STEWARDSHIP is finding the highest and best use for each part of the resource. I look forward to following your decision processes.
Right?? I'm so excited for this noble series. And I'm so glad I'm not the only one who leaves more than one comment. I always feel like the spam queen. XD
So far I’ve seen a wooden Indian Chief, 2 dragon heads, and a wizard. Damn enchanted forest. Couldn’t have a better woodsman.
Anyone who truly watches your channel would know how much you and your father truly love nature and respect the woods. So I really hope that no one makes any rude comments towards what you're doing to your Woodlands. I wish you the best in your new adventure in this beautiful place and I can't wait to see where this goes
Ride That Tasty Wave
A 12 bore shotgun and "i truly love nature" is not a great image ! infact shooting game birds is not a good hobby , i just hope this is never filmed and included in this series of "custodian"
@@brainclerk4431 He wasn't shooting game birds, he was trying to scare out some gray squirrels!!! Point.....SCARE OUT....
@@brainclerk4431 You clearly didn’t watch or listen properly.
Well said.
@@rgober60 when you "scare out" by letting off it's not just the the squirrels that leave !
Hey Mike. I'm the big tree you cut the ivy off of. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!! I CAN BREATH AGAIN!!!!!!!
That's a big ash tree!
Watch out for that odd silver birch.
😂
maybe he can get some straight grain sections for making a longbow, ash is good for that.
That’s what I came here to post! 😂 🌳
Roy Underhill would be proud. You could make a big ash mallet out of some of those big ash branches.
It is your land and your decisions and I entirely support what you want to do with everything. You enjoy yourself and I'll enjoy watching!
Glad to see you working on management of the forest, rather then leaving it to grow wild. Proper management can encourage healthy growth, along with selective harvesting, and you can end up harvesting trees for projects, or firewood, and still have an extremely dense forest. As long as we take care of what we're entrusted with, it will remain healthy. Congrats on getting access to your own forest. Just don't do what they do locally. Quick growing spruce and pine, clear cutting of all hardwoods, even old growth stands. Nothing but greed on the east coast.
It not up to the comment section. This is your property and the majority of your viewers, I'm sure will agree with your decisions on what ever you do. You have a great view on nature and respect it. Thanks for taking us along!
Beautiful and big respect for the way you described your management choices. I'll follow along and it makes me look forward to some future project plans of mine ;) ;) ;) Take care about nature!
I see a sawmill in Mike's future
Glad to see you in the comments. Your survival and adventure videos are still one of my favs!
Please follow everything except the breakfast full of meat at 15:50 ;)
(The environmental impact of eating meat is huge and it takes approximately 20 times more land to produce the same amount of calories from meat as plants. Hence, if we all cut down on meat, we could reclaim and re-wild a lot of farmland in the UK, so more people can enjoy nature, not just the privileged. We could also re-introduce natural predators then, so we wouldn't need to be going out and shooting animals. Peace ✌️)
I totally agree with releasing the stranglehold the ivy has on those trees. Well done.
Ash makes great axe handles, hatchet and hammer handles, bows, and fire wood. My dad used them for canoe making, rails for wooden boats, rake and shovel handles too.
And baseball bats
@@tomlorenzen4062 and hurleys
And Stratocasters!
Reenactors love ash for spear shafts and shields.
and spatulas.
i made one in shop class when i was 13, it's still my go to spatula 26 years later.
Make your decisions and live your dream because that's why all 2 million of us follow you 👍looking forward to all your future videos
I just bought a new house with a 7.5 acre attached woodland and I can’t wait to follow along with you on your journey. I have never been an outdoors type of guy, but I’m excited to learn. Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge!
How is it going? Thats my dream you are living
If you are ever going to build anything here with lumber it makes so much sense to do it with lumber from this wonderful ash tree that grew here rather than using commercially grown, cut, and milled lumber that has to be transported from who knows where. This feels respectful to the tree and to this land. I look forward to watching the progress of this journey.
No need to be so concerned about what some haters will think! Of course you are going to treat this precious woodland right! I think you have more than earned the trust of your viewers, and shown that you have a huge heart, and care immensely about nature and being as sustainable as possible.
I love the fact you are willing to explain the difficult decisions any owner would have to make who is looking after such a beautiful British woodland!
As a hunter/fisherman/outdoorsman I love your plan for management of the land. As predominantly a meat hunter, anything I hunt I eat, and managing the squirrel population can also provide you with a renewable source of game meat.
Harvest the big Ash tree and do it justice by producing beautiful timber. I admire your consideration and respect for the woodland. You are living your dream and all credit to you. This woodland may now be your life's work and may I wish you the best of luck with whatever projects you choose to take forward. Your land, your choice. Best Wishes from Chester 👍🍻
I truly believe you are making the best decision! Why let something so beautiful just rot away...
I think your idea for the Ash tree is spot on, especially if you are going to make a cabin in the woods 🪵.
And Mike remember, there are extremists everywhere especially environmental extremists, this is your adventure, have it and enjoy, I know I do 😊.
The wife and I are thrilled for you! Your excitement about your woodlands is obvious and we're thankful you're sharing it with us.
Now, about shooting the squirrels...
My wife and I have raised several baby squirrels and released them back into the wild when they reached maturity. They're more fun than you can imagine!
But, I am also a lifelong hunter so I have no problem with your management plans.
But as a hunter, I would hope you don't let the meat go to waste. Chicken fried squirrel and squirrel stew are delicious, I hope to soon see you cooking over the fire at your new shelter, enjoying a meal harvested from your own land.
What a lovely, calming and beautiful showcase of a woodland and woodland management. Even if it's on a screen, I often find myself calmed, relaxed and feeling better after looking at green, natural, and wooded areas. Thanks for this.
Love the video. Love what you have planned. Most 'conservationists' don't realize controlling animals is a very important part of management. Here in the States, we hunters provide millions a year for conservation.
Kudos to you sir!
IF you have deer in your woods, trimming out ground cover and opening a canopy to stimulate the growth of bushes for browsing is important. Providing space for ground cover for some species is useful work.
Don't let anyone else tell you what to do with your own woodland, or negatively impact your enjoyment of it. Life is short, do the things that make you happy. There's no need for anyone else's opinion or approval.
Always love how melting snow in heavily dense wooded areas sounds much like fire crackling if you pay attention to it.
Nothing feels better than slowly walk on a land you can call yours❤
I’ve also heard that Ash is called “Poorman’s Oak”. I love the slightly silver grain that is seen in Ash. It’s such a lovely timber. You enjoy your wood in what way you want. We will too.
You break my heart when u brake that beautiful tree !!
Just kidden, God gave u the land, you do what ur heart tells u.
From the desert

I love seeing and hearing all of this, absolutely awesome. Love your care and determination as well. This is going to be my new favorite series from you, no doubt
I think utilising the Ash tree is the best idea as getting back to nature and the woodland crafts our ancestors used they would never have let a beautiful tree like that go to waste, and the way you manage your forest cannot be right or wrong its all individual and as you are saving this amazing piece of woodland and that's all that matters.. your living my dream and I'm not jealous.. I'm excited and happy you chose to share it and it's exciting to see what is to come.. Great work
Beautiful snow fall...
I work with "land managers" here in the states. I've found firstly that most general population don't understand management vs immediate need. Because you have and are researching how to manage, manage it! Birds and bees were here and doing well long before you and will survive as long as you manage for them as well.
Well done Mike. The decisions you are making are sound. Good work hunting that wild bacon and sausages.
I rent several hundred acres of mixed woodland from one of the biggest private landowners in the UK ( I use it to run airsoft events). The land incorporates one of the biggest WW2 USAAF bases ever built. Anyway, the estate regularly brings in contractors to thin out the trees, and huge stacks of ash, oak and softwood are stacked all over the place. I always assumed that the hardwood was seasoned and sold for furniture/construction etc, as it's clearly a very valuable resource. To my horror, the forestry manager told me that it's all put through giant chippers and sold at £40 per lorry load as bio fuel. The estate has it's own fully equipped sawmill, but it seems that due to the high cost and inconvenience of paying skilled human beings to operate these machines, they sit gathering dust. The landowner would rather turn a fast buck, so the woodland is alive with the sound of tweed suited clowns shooting reared pheasants. No doubt giant windmills and solar panels will appear next so that the Duke can receive handsome government subsidies from his school buddies in Westminster. I comfort myself that his ancestors were doubtless gifted the land by some king or other because they went to the right school, looked intimidating in armour, and conquered Johnny Foreigner . I deliberately haven't named the estate. I don't want the Duke to read this and choke on his Bombay Sapphire.
I think your motives and plans are somewhat more honourable.
100% agree with what you’ve done with the. Ivy, that was the first job I did when I took ownership of my woodland.
I'm so glad you're doing this, Mike. I've been dying to know where to start when taking on a woodland.
Personally I think what you are doing with the ash tree is a perfect balance of using it for further uses and allowing it to recycle back into the woodland.
Winters are always beautiful stories 💚
Magical fantasy lands : )
There's something about a Robin in a British snowfall, that brings me a lot of nostalgia from my childhood, in the 90s running around in the forests in winter looking for robins, like on the Christmas cards we would send out.
Good call on the Ash tree and also the squirrels:)
Love how you are being REAL!
Totally agree with you, and Congratulations on Your New Purchase. My Father in Law, since passed, (who I believe was a True Englishmen), taught us how to make, and maintain Beehives to help
bring the Bee's around and those cold Winter Months you have in England, supplementing a feeding programme, is an awesome idea, a win win situation when you also consider they will provide
honey for family as well. Eco system will thrive with the bird life as well and those awesome Tree's, will be there when your next generations come to enjoy and cherish your hard work.
Well done. Thank you for sharing your journey. From Us in NZ
Save the trees! Save the woodland.
I watch it in 2.0×, it makes such a vibe video go so much smoother, especially when u work 10 hour shift and haven't got much time
You are still looking like the cat that got the cream, it must be a great feeling having your own woodland, and I think your kids will appreciate it as they get older, look forward to much more to come from the woodland take care till the next one
It’s like I was walking along with you, you showing me the new property. You will have a lifetime’s work! Hope to see dear old Dad! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
It's Tuesday! Everything goes on hold when you post. I didn't know ivy would reconnect. That is one determined plant. I loved how that bird checked out your fire area. Very cool. I'm so excited for you.
You can tell in your face just how much you love your property!!! so happy for you......it must be close enough that you do not have to camp overnight when you go out there
Really enjoying this Mike. The Ivy logs you now have are a great resource in themselves. Ivy is a great wood to whittle it doesn't warp hardly at all and dries hard. I wish you lots of luck and fun with your management of the woodland. Oh and don't forget squirrel makes a good meal 😉
After cooking it for 38 hours... then, yes.
I was thinking I'd like to have some of that ivy for carving
@ SwirlingSoul
Hardly that long! A younger bushy tail is easily treated like chicken, especially if it’s a farm chicken and not a big box store bird. And an older squirrel works just like any older, larger chicken or fowl: braised! To be completely honest I would rather substitute squirrel or rabbit for anything in any dish that calls for yard bird.
@@SwirlingSoul Would make a great stew... :)
@TAOutdoors : you can use the ivy leaves as soap as well. ;)
Fair dues on the big ash. Your woodland and your decision and that should be respected.
How lovely! The snow just makes your wood even more magical! And your Robin friend is charming.
I like the idea of what you're doing with the ash tree. I know you're doing the best for nature and I'm glad you're leaving the roots. Cramballs!! Yay!
I can see you making some bushcraft furniture out of that magnificent ash.
I used to be a woodsman on Beaulieu estate back in the late 70s and early 80s when I left school had some great times working in the woods all year round enjoy 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I applaud you. Not matter what your decisions were I accept them and support you. Do not worry about the trolls here and the people not supporting shooting of the squirrels, they are clearly not throughly educated in the principles of “real” woods management.
Onwards with your adventure !!
(The only reason I wished the big ash tree there was for you to have a centrepiece to your otherwise "wild" studio ... but that can easily be replaced by an amazing shelter expressing your skills and handicraft)
It's your property you do what you think is right as long as you feel okay with it keep up with the nature the birds are beautiful the trees are beautiful save and do what you must do hope to see you further on.
The forest looks so beautiful when covered with snow
What a sensible and thoughtful attitude towards your land. I have a tiny tree farm in New England. I have a good number of red oaks, but am most proud of the twenty-five tree white oak grove. Now a couple of decades old they are starting to corn. Edible landscape. Also the animals LOVE them. Good luck and enjoy.
Mike, I really hope you rent a sawmill or purchase one. I'm in the US, so I am not sure where you'd go. MachineMart? They have a "petrol bandsaw mill" for about 4K in British currency. Cut your lumber, let it season and use it for your eventual "homestead in the woods" build.
There is also the option of an Alaska sawmill. Its just a fancy jig and a chainsaw.
It's Joe and Anita from Texas US. I'm glad for you and the woodlands. We have some pasture and woodland ourselves and even though its been hard at times, there are no regrets. Your heart is already directing you to do whats right for you. You have our prayers. We enjoy all your videos.
Hi Mike very good vlog you look so excited when you talk about your woodland. This will be a exciting journey. Would be lovely to see your Dad once in a while. You have made the right decision for that lovely ash. Be careful with those squirrels they can cause a lot of damage. Keep your family safe. See you in the next one.
It’s great that you’re nurturing your local forest. It’s important to regenerate natural areas and your right, you can plant other endemic species to promote Bee habitat.
Відео супер 👍 з мене лайк 👌, а хто прочитав мій коментар тому здоров'я та успіхів у житті 👌🖐️👍.
It's wonderful, Mike, that you & your family have this property.! It's like we have here in Northern Minnesota.
i'm gonna love watching this journey Mike. you look so blown away by it all. good luck to ya bro. peace
i love "my woodland" I'm sure you'll make great stewardship of your land.
Ash makes such good axe and knife handles, also was used for bows back in the old times, that's some great stock! Awesome dude.
Delighted for you. You cant keep the smile from your face. Its a great feeling isnt it. May you enjoy it for many years to come. I bet your like a kid on christmas eve!
Glad you’ve got a plan and it sounds well thought out. It’s good you’re in no rush. I agree with the plans for the fallen beach tree but would like to see it used as a shelter for a future video and perhaps afterwards you could dig a root cellar beneath it for cold storage when your camping or spending time managing the woodland.
that ash would be an ideal candidate for a dug out canoe
I can't wait to go on this journey with you, it's amazing. ❤
For me ash is perhaps the most beautiful wood we have native in the UK, theres no way I would waste that huge length of straight beautiful timber, will just have a responsibility to make something beautiful out of it, GL!
Please leave some large fallen trees as they make great habitat for various small animals, all of which are in decline in the UK.
Mike, your land, your rules! Cheers!
Holy cow that’s a big “ash” tree! 🤣
😆
Can’t wait to see all what you’re gonna do in your new Woodland. Very nice Mike and so happy for you. Now onto the Video
I love these videos! they are what started my interest in bushcraft.
Thank you , Mike .
Any thought of getting a small mill to process the Ash and other downed trees. By the time you drag it out and mill it to lumber, you could probably buy a small mill. Maybe something like that mill jig that holds your chainsaw. Just an idea.
looking forward to watching this as the seasons progress.
Loved seeing that shotgun though I heard that England took them all away from the private citizen. Agree with what you did for the oak trees. Ivy is nice but it is also a killer of trees and there are better ways of helping the bees such as you were saying. I use ironware on my stovetop too. Something about the taste being better when cooked in iron. You should make use of that ash tree as much as possible. No matter what you do it is your woodland so do what you think is necessary for the woodlands. You are doing what is termed conservation and a lot of people just don't understand what it entails. More power to you.
Shot guns, Single-shot, bolt-action, lever-action and revolver rifles are legal in the UK, self-loading or pump-action rifles are only allowed in .22 rimfire calibre and muzzle loading pistols are allowed to be owned with the correct licencing in UK.
The ash would make for some great heirloom furniture pieces that can be passed down and cherished
Hi TA! I want to ask you a favor!!! Would you PLEASE
Help me, and maybe others,
Buy showing how you identify
The tree's? When you say your
Going to do something with this Ash Tree...how do you know it is a Ash Tree?
I have wanted to be able to
identify tree's for many years! You would really Bless
Me Very much. If you would do this for me & I think some
Other's! As well... 😊
Takes awhile to learn. Most people learn by bark or leaves. Unless you have someone to help you, you may need a good book.
Yes, Iam not stupid!!! I have a good book I merely asked if you would identify trees when you see one or working with one.
Maybe your reply is your way of getting out of it!!! It was a simple request!!! Others don't mind!!!
@@caroleelagrone9729 you aiming that at me?
You are so deserving of your woodland. Great to see you grow.
Am so happy for you! I was wondering if you and your dad are going to build a cabin with that log? I saw all the episodes of the pallet cabin y'all build. I have been one of your viewer since the pallet cabin. God bless you and your family.
I love that silvery tinkling sound of snow crystals falling down onto the dead leaves. There is no other sound like it.
grey squirrels are also one of the leading causes in the decline of songbird populations all over the country as well as stripping bark from trees they also raid the nests of birds for there eggs and chicks best way to control them is setting up feeding stations filled with nuts or seed and dispatch them with an air rifle/rifle after a shot or to with the shotgun and they usually disappear! great video btw would be my dream to own my own woodland keep up the great content!!!
Not to mention the decimation of our red squirrel population
There are a few chaps on the internet that specialise in just what you've been talking about...
If you are a reasonable shot, I'd err towards airgun. Depending on the healthiness of the population, squirrel pie could be a nice bonus.
Looking forward to sharing your adventure.
to help you manage the woodland, find a school for tree surgery and horticulture and offer them your woodland to train in. Make sure they know they are not to take any tree for lumber unles specified by you You'll make some good contacts, for labor and advice on how to manage the woodland / copse.
I did countryside management at college, I'm sorting out a mates ancient woodland for him, I love being outside. Awesome video, keep it up
A safety tip from a forest worker. Never walk under a leaning tree even in calm weather - you never know when it's gonna come down and walking around doesn't more than a few second.
Also you should use some PPE when using a chainsaw and have a small first aid kit on you - if it's goes wrong with chainsaw, it ain't pretty and you are far away from a hospital.
Also that big Ash tree probably fell over due to a fungus infection which are plauging much of Europe.
The fungues weaknens the tree and they start dying from the top and then fungus in earth starts roting the root system and they get liable to fall over in full length.
Here in Denmark we have almost felled all our Ash trees for lumber since they are dying - which is very sad.
Can seeds be stored and replanted like in 20 years or so? Or would the fungus immediately attack the newer trees again too? I've been following along with all the ashes dying, and it doesn't sit right with me. Same with the banana's, they're in danger of a fungus permanently killing them, and it bothers me enormously. But mostly with the Ash trees.
@@SwirlingSoul Some Ash trees seems be somewhat resistent towards the fungus. So there been done some plantings with seeds from resistent trees and we are hoping for good results.
But usually fungus, bugs and other issuses gods away when the population of the tree species get very low. We saw that with the Elm trees, they almost went away 20 years ago and now we are starting to see big elm trees in forests again.
Also the english term is "Ash dieback".
As an arborist I'd look at that ash and say it certainly came down due to some sort of fungal infection, but I wouldn't be too sure its dieback, especially seeing as it seems to have attacked the root system and base rather than the upper extremities of the tree like dieback does.
What a wonderful journey! Thanks for inviting us along.
Are there specifical regulations you are required to follow in relation to the woodland management? Such as building permanant structures, what you may or may not grow?
YOU ARE OFF TO A GREAT START, HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A LIFETIME IN THE WOODS, WHAT A GREAT Lifestyle YOU HAVE PICKED, DON'T WORRY WHAT ANYONE THINKS BEE THING IS A GREAT IDEA, STAY SAFE OUT THERE (VISION TROUBLE SORRY FOR CAPS)
