It gives my heart great joy to see good folks replanting our nation's wonderful forests. Thank you.
Thank you
Little Jack really grow up during the winter. Nice to see a family working together.
you get great big ten out of ten in playing your part in restocking this planet with trees, this is so so important.
Its great to see such a respectful young man you have there, you have done a fine job raising him , keep up the great work on the videos .
Your videos make me smile. My wife & I dream of homesteading, but we're led to the city for now...
I've got to say, that Yanmar tractor is an amazing tool. Being city bound I don't have a great need for one, but I'm endlessly amazed by how versatile it is and how seemingly invaluable it is on a homestead.
I continue to pray for your family and covet your prayers as well. Thank you again for sharing your life with us.
Thank you
Watching the love and togetherness of your family is truly amazing. What you have is very special. Cherish every day, you are a fortunate man!
Jack seems to have grown into a fine young man, you both must be attentive, fair minded, and disciplined, He'll be a definite asset to the homestead.
50+ years ago, some of our area boy scouts (like me) cleared a bunch of brush in the Mohican State Forest and then planted 2,000 pine trees. I still get a thrill driving by them and seeing them touch the clouds today! We can appreciate your love of the woods!
Lucy looks like a very happy healthy dog. And very cool what your family is doing, seeing the family work together is amazing.
Nice to see Jack driving the tractor. Y'al must feel Blessed watching him grow up.
I grew up in Northwestern South Carolina in the 1950s and 60s. My Dad wanted to plant Pine trees on his property. I am not sure which department within the state made them available, but they were about 10 to 12 in. long from the tip of the root to the very top. My Dad paid $10.00 for 1,000, yes a whole copper penny for each tree. They were primarily planted by my older brother, but the vast majority of them are still standing today. Wow have times changed...
Old Chinese proverb - "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
Where were those owners 20 years ago?
Exactly! Good job!
I smiled big time when you asked "what was your favorites part of today" because as I watched I remembered my own experiences planting and thought about something that always sticks with me ; the smells. Newly turned soils, the forest around you and that fresh, sharp green smell as you open the bags of trees. Those young healthy trees don't just have a smell, it's almost like they give off an energy you can feel. No way to describe how soothing and energising that is! Looking forward to seeing this project as it progresses.
its really nice to see how jack has grown up over the years ive been watching ...!!
These types of videos gives me pure joy.
Nice to see some trees going in the ground :)
When we plant trees in Denmark, we use a regular spade, we put the spade in and drag it towards ourself, then you create a V shaped hole with a straight wall. then you take the tree just over the roots, and kinds throw the tree into the hole. That way you get the roots down straigth. And then take the spade up and use your foot to stump the soil firm. All this is done in one fluid motion and that way you can plant 1000 trees pr man pr day. Take some practice and a strong spade that isn't to heavy. The spade can also be use the help the roots down, that way you don't have to get on your knees. The spade you guys are probably to heavy to do it the Danish way.
Jack is growing Up! you can hear it in his voice. Great video. Thank you for taking care of the environmental and trying to reverse some of the damage done by poor logging practices. We only have one Earth we should try and keep it as nice as we can while we are here!
Should be titled "WE" make forest. It's so wonderful to see how your family works together to be good stewards of the land and resources you have been blessed with. I enjoy all of your videos. God bless.
Cody,
I just want to say that I have loved all of your videos recently. Early spring on the homestead looks like an invigorating time of year. I love it. Thanks for sharing as always,
Brad
when I was Jack's age my dad and I planted 56,000 trees in Vestal, New York .Red & white pine Blue spruce scotch pine took us over 3 years, with a yellow tree planter machine a plow double bladed that balanced on two wheels that with every single a tree needed to be planted.. 96 acres later we had a Forrest.. two summers I hand planted two fields ... New York's soil preservation project our clear fields became a Forest.. enjoy yours Ed
Ponderosa pines are my favorite tree. I remember when my grandpa showed me that their bark and sap smells like butterscotch.
Lucy digging those holes totally reminded me of how my dog used to do the same whenever we were out and about camping or something. Its one of those small things I'm really gonna miss about her. Kind of a bitter sweet scene for me(:
I live 20 mi away from Mt. Rushmore and it is called the black hills here and it is probably 92% ponderosa pine, when you hike through the forest on a warm spring day when the sap is flowing it smells of sweet butterscotch n the air. It is absolutely beautiful here.
Who needs the tractor... Lucy is doing just fine!
Glad to see the sustainability at work, best wishes for this new plot!
I really have grown to love this channel. The wife and I have been considering homesteading for awhile now. You videos have sure been helpful, even for things around our place in the city. Thanks for all the work you do to share this knowledge with everyone.
Thank you.
All of that work and 90% loss. That had to be incredibly disappointing. Good on you guys to give it another go.. I pray this group of baby trees will grow up into a beautiful, healthy forest. That will be something to be proud of forever.
Absolutely love knowing you all are giving back to the good land God granted us with. Bless you and your family, I wish for a wonderful week for you and your family! :)
Thank you Hayden,
When I was about Jack's age my uncle was a logger and after they cleared a stand me my uncle and my cousin would plant 2 year old trees my favorite part about it was riding in the bucket on the front of the tractor. This videos brought back good memories for me I really enjoyed it thanks Cody.
Wow! Jack's voice sure has changed.
I was thinking the same thing after watching a bunch of videos from 2014/2015 earlier this week
yea that's what growing up does
Dan Johnson my thoughts exactly!
P3rformula thx darwin
Was just thinking this same thing
Love these videos with the whole family out working. Hope you have a 90% survival rate this year. God bless.
Good luck US viewers.
My what a difference between a month has made to your beautiful property. No more sitting snow and now lovely rich moist soil 👍
Not trying to say your doing anything wrong or judge but I figured I'd give you some tips about planting for better survival rate on what exactly we do and look for with our company.
-Scalp the ground (especially in grassy areas where you just started) Hoe-dad usually being the easiest to use while planting as you just turn the hoe-dad on its side to scalp the width of the blade. (yours looks like a longer blade but still useable.)
-While using the hoe-dad, at the proper depth leave the blade in the ground and slide the roots down the blade with your hand, pull out hoe-dad, and pack in making sure the tree isn't loose. (should be able to give a little tug without the roots sliding out.)
The trees we use are only about a year old so i'm unsure about older trees but we plant almost all the way to the needles.
A fun fact about our contracted tree planters: One planter plants 1200-1500 trees per 8 hour day.
As an international town guy and recent subscriber I'd love to read your book, your family is an inspiration to me.
Can't wait to watch more of your homestead life.
Cheers!
I really love how you guys not only use the land but then give back to it for future living.
Every child that goes to public school in my hometown gets to spend a day in the city's watershed forest, planting trees and learning about the forest ecosystem. I remember doing the same thing in the 60's. And my children had the same adventure when they attended the same schools as I did 25 years later. Learning where the products and foods you use and eat are important for children. Heck, a lot of adults have no idea where their food or other consumables come from! Of course. this is one of the benefits of living in rural Washington state. We also got to take a field trip to a fish processing plant. That tour wasn't quite as popular as the tree planting one, I guess the overpowering smell may have something to do with it!
When I was a kid we planted about 10 acres as a Christmas tree farm. It didn't work out in the long run as a business but it sure kept us busy. Luckily my father bought a trans-planter to tow behind the tractor so we could just ride on that and put the seedlings into the trench it cut before it was closed up.
It might be too late for this year but you can speed up the backfill process using your spade. Drive the spade into the ground a few inches from the seedling and then squeeze the previous hole closed gently.
I guess it's a good thing I didn't go to bed on time.
I guess :)
Wranglerstar One of these days I'll learn how to sleep. Thank you for always producing great content!
Anyone who hasn't read the Wranglerstar book really should buy it, I read it in a day. Such great insights and it's good to get the story of how the WS family got to where they are today!
Great video that brings back memories! My first job out if high school was at the Maryland Forest Tree Nursery (Buckingham Tree Farm) where I harvested, trimmed and packaged pine seedlings to be distributed to those wanting to plant small forests. Loved being outdoors working in the fields with the tiny pines.
Really nice-looking root systems on those trees!
beautiful. music, land and people. thank you.
I already have your book! Love it!! Thanks for doing stuff like this and making videos to help people realize the importance of forest management and conservation! Can't wait to see the planting!
Awesome! I really enjoyed this, forest husbandry and building your future. This is homesteading at its best, thanks for taking us along!
Cody I am a forester in Arkansas and we use ripping technique all the time. It helps to break up the compacted soil and especially rock in the hills.
It will provide better survival and improve root establishment. I was excited to see you using it there in the mountains. I suspect it should work out great for your trees!
Good video. Just so happens that these are my favorite. Having Mrs. W and Jack, I believe, makes for great footage. It also sets you apart from other channels.
Too bad I didn't live closer! I would have helped you plant all those!
I'd take you straight to the garden! :) Sorry for the thick skin you have to develop on social media...saw your questions and totally get it. mrsW
Yup, I'll be right there with you all getting my hands dirty.
Wranglerstar you and your family impress me more and more, everyday. Fantastic stewardship of the conservation in your area.
As long as your weather doesn't cause the ground to freeze, your seedlings should have a good survival rate. Also, the spacing between the planted trees now can affect the survival rate as they get older. This may include insect control, wildfire suppression, control burning, and pruning maintenance.
kd4bao c Still in the low 20s at night so we will wait a bit. I've down some seed starts n the greenhouse. Our daffodils haven't even started to bloom yet! Still cold here. MrsW here
That's going to look beautiful in the fall with all the Larch mixed in.
On contour swales. I dug them on my land. it's way harder to do but it really keeps the water on you land way longer.
I witnessed the subsoil approach East of Roseburg, OR on a sidehill and the landowner had very good success in the trees surviving. Great project!
I've planted plugs in northern ontario and planted 30 different species of various bare root trees in southern ontario. The key for survival is mineral soil, proper holes, root alignment and placement of specific species. Seems like you've done your research! The only suggestion I can give to you is make an L-cut or T-cut to ensure the proper depth and lack of air pockets. It makes a big difference in survival and over all integrity of the tree as it grows. Good luck and happy planting!
Great video, it's awesome to see the whole family working together. Jack is really growing up fast. Thanks
Cody, Fellow axe junkie and admirable young man, Liam Hoffman of Hoffman Blacksmithing is sending you an awesome axe!! He does fine hand crafted axes!! Can't wait to see one of his creations at work on the homestead!
tree planting is actually quite enjoyable and it really clears the mind. I think on my first day I planted 1200 larches
Wow Jack is growing like a weed! Love watching you guys work together.
What a wonderful way to spend a day! This would almost certainly be my dream job one day
I love this ! A responsible carpenter that care about his future resources.
Little Arkansas Pilgrim and I have been working outside on trees, too. Not exactly the same, though. We're cleaning up big trees that got blown down by some strong straight-line winds (no tornadoes). I've been enjoying it, and so has he, although reluctantly.
Hope you're not disappointed by deer munching on those. A trick I read about involved making a fishing line fence and possibly putting bells along it. It spooks them walking into something they can't see. We planted a couple dozen fruit trees and we plan on doing this.
When we've done larger plantings (a couple thousand or so) we use a planter attachment for the 3 point that isn't too different. We also coat the root stock with gel that helps retain moisture.
Cody I have been watching your channel for a few months now, I have to say it really amazes me what you and also your family do. It's brings me a lot of joy watching you guys and seeing a loving family working hard together. I also find it refreshing they way you talk and reference God and the bible sometimes and put that into your life and channel, to be honest I am not a very religious person, I do believe and I spent much time with my very old school Italian grandmother when I was young and she is very religious and always would use the bible teachings as lessons and the way you and your family are reminds me of that, it's something I wish to get a little more into. I have many dreams of homesteading with my own family, I have a fiancé and a 4 year old sweet little girl. One day I hope to live as free but also do the good you do. Thank you for all the wonderful videos.
God Bless,
Kyle
We use a subsoiler around here for breaking up plow pans. Looks like it's doing the job for you! They do make attachments for them if you'd ever want a wider furrow.
So glad to see you guys giving the tree planting another shot!
Very cool video! Thanks for your conservation and hard work! The future generations of animals and complex ecosystems thank you! Looking forward to your yearly update on this forest!
He's a sweet man.
What might help your survival is providing some shade for those trees: planting on a north aspect is good, but putting some logs and branches at least three inches in diameter on the NW to S side of the trees will prevent them from baking in the hot afternoon sun in the summer. We plant mostly Ponderosa and Green Ash on the Custer, but the shade requirements in the prescriptions on the Gallatin side are the same and they plant a wider variety of trees. Hope this helps a little.
Your soil looks awesome.
WOW!! Little wranglerstar has really grown since we saw him last. Mrs. W always makes me want to be a better person, she is so lovely! Read your book months ago and loved it!! Love heartracer and miss Lucy. What was she digging for?? Can't wait for the next video!!!
Thank you! Lucy and Ginger love to dig - lots of voles and mice right now...
Great video! I'm glad to see y'all planting again.
Faith on humanity restored, this world is going to be better if this example is followed, thanks for video this!
That's a interesting idea to keep moisture in the soil for longer, even in the highest points. Hopefully it'll work and you'll get some more of that beautiful Douglas-fir in a few years.
Great Video. Thanks for planting those trees. I luv all those trees.
Thank You for the videos always & God Bless.
Great stewardship and example of giving back to the earth!
This is great to see the plants of these beautiful trees with kind regards Jo
in 30 + years somone is going to cut that beauty down
Yes!
Thank you for the drone footage, I love seeing the land.
Planted 80+ Cypress trees in my low area over the weekend.
Oh boy, he is about to go all teenager on you!
Glad to hear you don't plant in straight lines. There is a state park near us in PA I was hiking in recently, and I came to a section that looked like it was planted by a drill seargent. Perfectly straight lines in all directions, perfectly even spacing, pin straight trunks... it was eerie. I felt like I was trespassing on a military installation.
Thanks for the tips on proper planting techniques! I did not know about digging too deep.
Wonderful to see! Thanks for sharing!
Great video, good to see more trees starting!
Your family stories are refreshing.
Wonderfull stewardship Cody! What a great family effort. Blessings from Norway
Fantastic Wranglerstar family. As so many people talk about the environment and what should be done. Your family is doing something. So inspiring. :) :) :)
The world thanks you for planting the trees. I on the other hand will take your video as an inspiration to plant trees as well.
That subsoiler looks like quite a nice addition to the tool arsenal!!
Hi Cody and MrsW, i love videos with all of you together the most. you both are such an encouragement to me as my wife and i are about to start our little family soon. Thank you and God bless
Thank you Jon
HAHAHA! Jack was trying to bunny ears Cody!
Great video. I am impressed how clean and shiny the tractor is.
Try putting the seedlings roots in a root starting gel helps. A planter with the two wheels to close the ground back up, would make planting a lot easier for you guys if planting 1000 trees at a time. Cody you should be able to make one yourself easily.
Thanks for the video, Great family time. God Bless You.
Cody, you are in for a treat! I hear that a Liam Hoffman axe from Hoffman Blacksmithing in NC is on its way to you. Can't wait to see your video on it when you get it. You're a lucky man!
thanks for taking responsibility for the nature!! Keep up the good work!
Great program --- nice to see the forest replenished
It's a pleasure to watch Mr and Mrs W. #blessed
what a great thing you are doing for the future of our country
the sequoia will need tons of room to grow to full size around where i live they get absolutely massive, some of the biggest trees in the world.
We have tons of room,
Awesome, good to see Jack again too!
Wow good luck with the trees!!
Lookin great! Iv got 100 Austrian pines coming next month to plant as well....can't wait!
Great instrumental version of "Annie's Song". Loved it.
Trail maintenance...I could get used to that too. Good pick mrs W!!
