Brilliant worker

Nice one always like the idea of a branch logger I only do my owe fire wood and cut up a bit for customers normally bag up in chicken feed sacks

Excellent video! I really think you're advancing your craft as a videographer and narrator.

Actually really interested in what you've done to your car/van to turn it into a crossover woodland vehicle!

Ikea bag for logs work

For the bags.. if you know somebody with a sewing machine, get a roll of jute/hemp garden netting cut into rectangles and fold in half, sew up the side and turn inside out. Like a coffee sack. Hem the tops if you want to be flash. But you can make different sizes too. Spray on a logo using a stencil

Where is this show held, oh yes i found what APF stands for.

Great video Darren I enjoyed that, your putting a nice bit of gear together, my suggestion is a small bag so they buy 2...... Good luck with all that 😁

What does APF mean ?

Nice video Darren again mate I like the machine you have the branch logger and your music is on the videos sets the mood just right we haven’t had any frost yet but five days of fog it’s really moody here lol😂

Looks like you have some cedar there. Are they common in the UK? Is it used? It's native here in the great PNW and is used for a myriad of purposes. From traditional native medicines to fencing because of its rot resistance. Makes the finest plank for smoking Salmon too. Bows are used commonly for holiday wreathes also. And a cedar lined chest or closet keeps the moths away!

Another lovely tempo vlog Darren. I'm trying to motivate myself for the weekend to get on with more path building but like you it's blooming wet and you can't push a 300ltr wheel barrow through sinking pathways, building it up still makes for hard work as you get further away and it is just impossible to use the ride on mower as it would just be stuck within 50 meters. I also have a container that is in need of repairs and a coat of paint (wrong time of year I know) and the road side trees need more thinning. Plenty of jobs to choose from. My target this year is reach one of the streams with a pathway and get 100 willow cuttings in the ground, 50 Black Maul one side and 50 Viminalis on the other, I think getting another 50 Hazel in the ground is just too optimistic with all the other jobs but you never know how things will go between now and Feb/March. Clearing small pockets in wet woodland is really hard work. Congratulations with the Woodsure cert, you're getting quite a lot of nice kit together to make life easier, just maybe you can earn a proper living with the sales, there's certainly quite a lot to maintain but you seem well in control of that. For the wood sales would re using compost bags be possible? If you have a garden centre close by they might be able to save you some and people bring any if they have some. I know it's plastic but its a re use. Alternatively I see a string line processor (in my head) adding like logs a ladder but its something else to make and price still needs to be close to the competition so a natural string could cost too much. I've seen people cling film them but again that's a plastic. I'll let you know if anything pops in the grey matter of use. Cheers for update and glad the weather looks to be drying up a little going forward next week.

Enjoyed the video again Darren. Branch loggings on muddy ground looks brilliant, branch logger is now on my wish list!

I agree with you about wanting to avoid the single use plastic. I would re-use the bag with you, but it's a bit awkward across the Pond ;)

We have Black Cherry on our site here and it mills up beautifully on my sawmill. I currently have two logs waiting for me to get them on the mill.

Ayup Woodlanders, welcome to woodland paradise. Let me know if you make it to the end, what sort of bag would you recommend Take care, Darren

Love the new product you invented! Price point on the cut branches would be hard to find that sweet spot, but for those that struggle with the wet mud, you now have a solution that will benefit the land. I have a spot where I put down gravel to get unstuck when we first bought the homestead. Since then a sheep shed has been placed near it and it is now in a garden. So I am still picking the large gravel rocks up every year I till that area. With your new product, it would of broke down and gave me fertility instead of a headache! Hey cool cap. Looks like you came out of the storm victorious! Way to go!

Does that mean you may take on an Apprentice under that new program? You would be really good as a teacher.

Where can I get this billhook

Lovely clean ground your working on Darren , glad you can't see my brambles 😊

Lovely gate, I wouldn't be handy like that, thanks Darren 😁

Fantastic as always, thanks Darren 😉

The BaSt-ing is German 🙂 Nice video

Found your channel whilst cruising you tube and saw the log trailer. 2 items on my wish list.... brute force 750 in camo and the same log trailer 🙂wife says no to both. Hey ho. Subbed anyway.

Darren, I love watching you work. As I'm getting older and can't work like I used to, I suppose that I watch your videos to work vicariously through you. Just be careful you don't take too much stress upon yourself.

would love a update on how you got on with the mushrooms , thanks excellent as normal

Result on the log timber trailer mate and you got some handy bits there i think money well spent buddy and great wild flower strip that will look great

Another interesting video Darren. I like the new trailer, perfect behind your tractor. Have you considered a couple of hose clips on the collar on your two wheeled tractor? Might be a bit more permanent than the cable ties.

Congratulations on the new trailer! I’m yet to make a purchase. I’ve got a set of 15 inch floatation wheels that fit my bcs valiant, they are 3 stud so would probably fit yours if you ever want to borrow them? I’m currently looking at getting a new set of tyres for them as even though they hold air they are pretty dry rotted. I think they will see a lot of use this winter! Glad to hear Karen is on the mend too.

Ayup Woodlanders. Welcome to this autumns #Wood-Log How are you and the woodland near you? Regards Darren

Great job Darren, your a very tidy worker, you don't learn that on courses, keep up the good work, your fab, thanks for the video 😁

I have a section of my self-planted woodland that is full of little scrub birch, that I want to take out (and feed through the branch logger!) but there is so much bramble, it's going to be difficult to access. You don't seem to have any undergrowth at all. Squirrels are horrible pests - they've devastated many of my larger trees

That's all great viewing, I'm on holiday for a week so I'm getting my usual tonic of inspiration from your videos, hopefully get something done in my own little woodlands, thanks Darren 👍

Those hot saws were something else

Be interested to see what those piles of chippings look like after a year or so. I bought my branchlogger partly to deal with willow brash whilst providing some fuel. Interested in making charcoal too

Great coverage Darren, thanks 😁

Good video and your right, needs to be be more for the small producer, one man band, not all have deep pockets. Many of us earn a modest living with older tractors and maybe a winch, a single hydraulic spliter and a tipping trailer. I've a real passion for the small scale, I'm a fencing contractor, that fells and extracts about 60 tons a year, all comes out as cheeses via my tractor bucket into an half sided, 10 ton ex grain trailer. My wife and I enjoyed the craft area. Would love to know of other events.

Thanks for the video Darren, mate you need to be a millionaire or have massively deep pockets to buy things there but the most important thing that should be at the show is a big enthesis on planting millions of trees as all that equipment is useless with out the trees buddy 🍺🤠👍🏻

Totally agree with you about the APF Darren, it’s a great day out for woodland owners and workers. I talked to people I’d never met before plus a few old friends (good to see you there!) There isn’t enough for small woodland owners but it’s still an enjoyable day out. Pity it’s only once every two years. Another enjoyable video, thank you.

Crazy kit at that show! Tools are always fun!

👍Дякую за відео

How did you manage to make log splitting sexual 😂

Brilliant result and made from scrap so even better! Sorry if you’ve answered this in another video and I’ve missed it - Are there any hard and fast rules for log stores? Also do you know if there is a preferred storage method of storing for craft projects, like carving or splint basketry? One reason I ask is an ash tree outside where we live has had to be cut down so there’s loads that I’d like to use on craft projects but I’m not sure if it’ll be ok left outside in a pile.

I've got an R120 arriving on Friday. Seller didn't reckon the professional version was worth it. Gone for the flywheel although I have a big tractor. Going to mainly be used for 50mm willow and birch but planning on running some pallet bits through it

Great video as always! Out of interest, does anyone know why the trees in the background are shaped like that at 26:00…the ones with the significant curve at the bottom
