- In this video I show you the property I recently bought. I bought some forest land on the coast that has heavy timber and forest on it. I have many projects for this property Including managing the forest. I will be starting a firewood business. I may even bring my Woodmizer LT 15 Sawmill. I also am considering using my mill and the timber on the place to build an off grid tiny house or small cabin.

As soon as I saw those berries I knew that they were blackcaps! I used to love going out to my grandparents property and finding those, and eating them. I live in Washington state and they are everywhere up in the woods, at least the area that my grandparents property is
You have a nice tract of timber land there. I don't have a saw mill, but I also enjoy thinning out stands of trees that are too thick, cutting out roads, etc. on my land here in Alabama. It's interesting to see the forests of Oregon. Your videos make me feel like I'm riding in the truck and walking through the woods with a good friend.
Hey David I just realized that you and I share the same last name, I was just curious about?
Beautiful land. That spring is a gem.
I could live in a place like that. You have some amazing land
Thanks Joey, I am fortunate to have it, glad I can at least share a little bit of it on here.
@@WilsonForestLands you're welcome
Man that is gorgeous! I really enjoy your videos, please keep posting them.
Thanks Stephen. I appreciate your comments.
Nice looking spot. Be safe out there
Thanks for the tour. Beautiful place!
Wow. Nice place
Mr. Wilson you need a friend with a ventrac!! That would get alot of that grass and folige under control! (Oh hey i have two of them and am a little north of ya. Did some work this year in Gold beach with them) have a couple videos on my lil channel if you haven't seen a ventrac. Merry Christmas!
Nice piece of ground.
beautiful place, huge potential
Nice property. Looks like a tropical rainforest.
Awesome. Nice place. The little water is big deal.
Congrats!
Thank You Paul!
Good good 👍 congratulations
Thank you Brent.
Congratulations on the property, it looks amazing! The views on the way up are great. Have you ever considered adding a drone to your video tool kit?
Thanks Ed! Yes, I have considered adding a drone. One day maybe I will consider it so seriously it will actually happen. Now I’m focused on learning how to be on camera, remembering to turn the camera on, etc. after I figure out those basics, a drone will probably be a great addition.
What a great place, congratulations on buying this, i'm jealous.
Thank you Anthony. I see things people are doing on RUclips all the time that still make me jealous.
Finally, a responsible landowner who will do something about the Global Climate Crisis.
Congratulations and thanks for the tour! Are we going to have a cabin building series coming up?
Thanks. I have had a cabin building series in the back of my mind for a long time. That idea was for the other property where my mill is. I sometimes think about it for this one too, or maybe just an RV pad.
Now that is the perfect ideal weather conditions for milling.
Thanks for sharing and showing your new property.
Very nice. How’s the winter ?
Or should I ask winters, what winter ?? lol congratulations
Take care.
Winters are not real cold but cool and very rainy. Enough rain to consider it rainforest. I won’t likely be there much if any in the winter. Thanks for the comment.
I am very interested in how you will treat and care for the forest. I hope to see more follow up videos!
Thanks for the comment, it’s good to have encouragement.

You must be asked this all the time. Whereabouts in Oregon is this? it’s beautiful!
Outstanding video!! What a beautiful property!! How many acres?
Thank you. That one is 80.
Lol you look so young
Beautiful place -- if it were mine, I'd name it "Creekside" or "Pepperwood."
Alas, Linn County has no coastal access...
Enjoy those coastal temps while we swelter here in the Willamette Valley.
I had to cross some county lines to get coastal access. At least you are not in the Rogue Valley where it was 114° yesterday. Now it looks like the smoke may start drifting in there.
@@WilsonForestLands It is 95°+ up here; and the haze is a sort of a Silicon Valley grey/brown murk coming up on the southern winds.
Not as bad as the Beachie Creek smoke and ash, but, ugh...
Looks like a nice piece of property. How cold does it get in the winter?
Winter lows are typically in the 30s and 40’s. Occasionally getting down to the upper 20s. The inland property where the sawmill is actually gets a little colder. The ocean keeps temperatures more moderated on the coast.
Nice piece of green. It’s a shame when they clear cut like that. I think it can make sense in huge swatches of land like helijobs, but I wish they’d selectively cut land like yours.
Thanks Kevin. Yes it was a shame to see that nice stand of trees go. Although they do grow quickly in that area. Wait until I go back there this summer and show you the damage that happened over the winter next to the clear cut.
Man that makes me miss living in the valley and cutting up in the Willamette forest. Miss the Doug fir. Is your only property access through the property that was clear cut? What keeps the trees from growing in those meadows? Or were they mown by the previous owners
There are a couple other ways to get in but that is by far the best way. When I go back to that property this summer, I’m going to have a big mess to deal with to open that road up. That clear cut triggered a lot of blow downs.
There is a lot of open grass prairie in that area surrounding that property. It is believed the natives burned it frequently which kept the open grassland. Sinc that stopped Doug fir is gradually encroaching into those areas. I think the meadow was just a remnant of that that hasn’t been grown over yet.
@@WilsonForestLands wow. That makes sense. Thanks for the response.
Are you going to get rid of invasive plants on the property?
How many acres did you buy ??
Congrats! We are looking at buying timberland in Washington but don’t know if we can bring our tiny home there or if we would have to convert an acre of it to normal property. Any advice?
I don’t know about Washington. In Oregon, it’s difficult to get a dwelling permit on zoned timberland unless it’s at least 160 acres. If it’s at least 160 acres you can apply for one large tract forest dwelling permit per 160 contiguous acres or 200 non-contiguous acres. I was able to get one of those permits on a property I have but they said flat out no I can’t live in a tiny house on my own property. A dwelling must meet a certain minimum square foot requirement, have the proper rooms, proper appliances, etc. basically a normal house. They did say they would allow me to apply for a permit for up to 90 days to live in a self contained RV while doing forestry activities. I have talked to people in the tiny house movement around here. At this point with tiny houses, it’s just don’t ask don’t tell. Hopefully it’s easier for you in Washington or you can find something that doesn’t have timberland zoning.
@@WilsonForestLands thanks for the info! We appreciate it and love what you’re doing!
Thank you, all the best in finding what you are looking for.
Congratulations on your new property, your in luck. I can fell tree's, have a 4x4 & 2 portable mills.
Lol
If you need me I am there Boss!!🌲🌲🌲🌲🤞💪💪👌
Thanks for the offer, good to have options.
Heck yeah buddy, have a very merry Christmas 🎄⛄ & safe new Year's.
Looking forward to seeing your new videos.
Your very welcome, don't forget & I'll catch up with you later 💪👍🧡👌
Is that just clouds across the valley at 6.17 ish? Or a 🔥🚒 fire
That’s just coastal fog. It comes up river in the summer off the ocean and sometimes hangs around in area.
I was hopping that's what it was, or you'd of mentioned it!
Folks that are subscribers and pay attention will want to know your chain saw sharpening techniques, for sure 🤔🧡🧡👍
Wish I was closer to score some western Red 🌲🌲🌲🧡👍👌💪
I am a little too far south for western red. We only have incense cedar here.
Why would loggers cut a massive tree like that and leave it to rot ? Seams such a waste for both loggers expense to cut, buck, yarder to landing, then buck again, then just leave. For the tree it’s obviously bad deal.
It has big knots, a forked top, not the kind of log mills would pay much for or even want. They cut all the trees down including the poor quality ones so they can grow the type of trees they want in its place.
Won't take long and you will be getting the necessary sermons from your neighbor and large trunks of filthy money to SELL!!!😄
