Finally get to see you in action in the field! The anticipation and expectations were great and you went above and beyond, love watching the vids Francis, keep up the amazing work!
Right on Francis ! I love that you are doing this for us , taking us into the field with you . Man this was fun !!! maybe talk to us a little while driving from sight to sight in your truck , van , what ever it is that you use to get around in while on maneuvers ?
These ones are all within 5 min walk from my home I bring the young lad for a walk cut 4/5 and walk back. I find short cutting session better like cutting 4-10 at a time and not over doing it like I did one year when I cut 100 in a day and was broken for weeks after.
mentioned it in another video, going out and harvesting is the part i enjoy, with spring here i'll be traveling out into the woods looking for hickory and osage orange for making mine.
Francis . Nice to see you in action . I'm off soon to my country to see my family in South Italy we has great wood there that would shame blackthorn ,4 inch thorns on these trees I may make some fighting sticks from them wood has a white and yellow colour buy OMFG it's damn hard stuff I made a few hiking sticks from them great to whack poisonous snakes too 🦊🐾🇬🇧
I've been eyeing 2 nice size Alaska black birch sticks this year, if you're cutting should be a good season for me to get them here they'll be a lot easier than your hedge battle for blackthorn
to say this could be the one I just bought from your store is incredible! thanks a lot!

Thanks for the inside look! I need to go back through all your many, many videos to see what else you have that shows the whole process.

I've heard you can make a shillelagh out of any hardwood so long as it's blackthorn or oak...

Well spotted.

Francis will the Bush regrow in 3 to 4 years after cutting
10 to 15 years
well done
Whenever I cut a stick I cut the bottom last to hold it for me.
You should lay your index finger over the saw handle. That makes sawing a lot easier.
I’m happy with my way but thanks
i can show you a 1000 blackthorn bushes here and you won't find as nice of a stick as that,here they all seem to grow like broken dogs legs.
I wish they were all as easy at that to get just got 15 sticks today more cutting videos on the way.
To banish ghosts and goblins?
When is the best month to cut the black thorn branch plz
November to February
