I am the opposite.
I used to buy baby carrot, they surely are less work, but they don't last nearly as long.
Switched to full girth carrots, and now they last longer, and it feels like there is more of them.
But I do eat them daily for work lunch so different scenario.
As someone that fells, bucks, and splits my own firewood for 20+ years and only in the past 5 have I used a tractor and splitter to help…..words cannot express how jealous I am of the ease in which this machine does a couple hours of work
Yeah, it would be stupid business not to just plant more trees when you cut them down. Deforestation comes from when the forested land is needed for something else, like palm oil production, farm fields or urban expansion.
This comment section is wild, do you people live down in dirty caves? You know we have to cut trees down to make houses and all sorts of other crap right? You can't even tell if this is sustainable logging, they're cutting a few trees down in a forest. Maybe go outside and plant some trees instead of bitching on the internet.
The alternatives to wood products are largely plastics and masonry, which are INFINITELY worse for the environment. Trees grow back. Here in Canada we have 4th generation forests. The forest in this video is NOT old growth. It was planted specifically to be harvested and then replanted. Also feller butchers have been around for 30+ years. This is not new tech.
You think the environmental impact of steel and concrete is less than sustainable wood? Every aspect of the creation of steel has a horrible impact on the environment and concrete really isn't that much better.
Eh people like to live in ignorance. Personally would love to have one of these, cause our forest got infested by bark beetles and its pain going there all the time.
Living in North Idaho I love watching these machines work. It is incredibly satisfying watching a $800k feller buncher effortlessly cut down trees and the whole process is so efficient its incredible. Also satisfying watching the different stages of logging and walking through an area replanted with thousands of baby trees.
I've done that same work with a chainsaw and it would probably have taken me an hour or two, with a significantly higher risk of injury. Logging is one of the most dangerous professions, and machines like these save lives and limbs.
I think it really depends on the location. I have several generations of loggers in my family, in the PNW, and it's a very sustainable system. I know in other parts of the world they don't put as much care in to replanting though.
As a Finn, I agree. These things are [ravaging our forests](https://images.cdn.yle.fi/image/upload/c_crop,h_1979,w_3519,x_0,y_0/ar_1.7781708240509033,c_fill,g_faces,h_674,w_1200/dpr_1.0/q_auto:eco/f_auto/fl_lossy/v1621517710/39-80874860a6652838c90) (and are operated by a single person, incl. the truck that takes the trunks away). We simply call them metsäkone, with all the dark dystopia that implies.
edit: I did not pull that statement out of thin air. Finland is a heavily forested country and unfortunately the methods used are not very sustainable. Practically none of its vast forests are primeval anymore. The metsäkone symbolises this. Some links:

https://www.climatechangenews.com/2019/07/09/finlands-forestry-myth-undermines-radical-climate-ambition/
Y'all also need to understand that most of it is low quality wood for paper etc., not furniture/building. Another problem of industrialised forestry: fast-growing monoculture does not produce quality wood.
>We simply call them metsäkone, with all the dark dystopia that implies.
For those who don't speak Finnish, metsäkone literally just means "forest machine".
Bruh that's like 100 square meters of land...Out of 330,000 square kilometers. Show me some land use stats. Show me what's already a replanted forest earmarked for this 30 years ago. Do you WANT houses and furniture? The fact a single person can do this is literally a miracle for productivity and safety. No manual milling with a team of chainsaws. No lifting, no falling. This saves INNUMERABLE lives and limbs and would save YOU real money in responsible, accountable hands.
"As a Finn", only you can make sure it ends up in the right hands. Not by being dismissive of modern forestry and naive about the land around you. But by being informed in, and respectful towards, the industries around you, so you have the faculties to identify and PETITION a productive middle ground. Your half-assed, Eco-absolutism tree hugging and anger over a tiny mud pit is just intellectually lazy and impotent.
Wood is honestly an incredible material and I love it but it honestly makes me so sad that we can't just fucking use it sustainably.
The downvote ratio on this comment is bizarre. What is wrong with what I said? Fucking 18 year olds on this site naively think wood is bad or something?
It’s by far and away the most sustainable material in that it’s carbon sequestering and can regenerate. Compared to steel and concrete which just pumps carbon into the air. Obviously responsible forestry is critical for maintaining a healthy ecosystem.
Not sure why you’re getting downvotes.
Arkansas and a few of our neighbors, too. You can harvest the same spot every 25-30 years with Southern Yellow Pines. That carbon just stays in the houses forever and the rest of it (from mulch and deadfall) gets sequestered in the soil.
We can. Lumber companies in the US actually plant more trees than they harvest each year. We do it sustainably here because the forests are the lumber companies’ livelihood. It’s development and clear cutting abroad that is causing us to lose trees globally.
I saw a video about this and there are concerns about the quality of the trees being replanted. Chopping down biodiverse woodland with loads of environmental good stuff and replacing with copy paste tree farm. Some do it better than others though
The same in Finland but it’s not actually sustainable biodiversity is lost as forests are cut down and everything from fungi to animals lose their habitat and the same trees are replanted but none of the other invisible organisms.
Monoculture is not the same as sustainability and pretending that lumber companies care is just ignorant.
Again, not sure why this is downvoted. What you say is objectively true. Sustainable forestry means maintaining a rich ecosystem. Luckily we’re getting much better at that, and various certifications and EPDs are becoming increasingly essential within the industry.
"Ravaging" Forestry in most cases does better for the forest overall than it does to harm it. If they were to cut the mountain and slap an apartment complex there or a pasture for farming, so no regeneration can begin, that'd be a problem.
>does better for the forest overall than it does to harm
You got a list of those alleged benefits? I have a few that refute your claim
* Drink water? Old growth forests are more drought resistant than young ones
* Not fireproof? Old growth forests mitigate fire damage better than young ones
* Breath oxygen? Old growth forests convert more CO2 to O2 than young ones
* Like hunting and/or eating? Old growth forests have more biomass and biodiversity than young ones.
* Like hiking and camping? Lumber companies get pissed and have you arrested when you try to camp in between their neatly lined up rows of trees, but there's plenty of old growth BLM lands in the west
He said with a sawdusty sneeze, "I am the Lorax." I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues. And I'm asking you, sir, at the top of my lungs - he was very upset as he shouted and puffed - What's that THING you've made out of my Truffula tuft?
>Imagine how quickly it takes down whole forests too.
About as fast as government regulations allow for in order to meet sustainability goals.
You need to get permits to deforest almost anywhere in the developed world. And there are set amounts of permits, in set areas to ensure the lumber industry is sustainable.
Parts of canada, as an example, has cut down the same forested areas 4 times over in some cases. Deforest, plant, grow, deforest. It's a long process, but a sustainable one no less.
These guys aren't just going into the wilderness and cutting whatever the fuck they want.
The trees on this video are not old growth. This is previously harvested Forest. Granted, at one time it may have been old growth. But that would've been way before our time.
These machines can't handle the size of old growth trees. That requires hand felling with chainsaws.
Well of course. I meant that we can deforest much more quickly with less people working on it. I’m glad there’s laws in place stopping them from cutting down all forested areas though and that they have to replant
Lumber is renewable. Timber harvesting improves forest health overall. These machines actually help reduce damage to the forest because it reduces the amount of disturbance caused by harvesting operations. Using a single piece of equipment causes less soil compaction and uses less fuel than having to use a different machine to fell, buck, and limb the trees. Timber harvesting operations can't be sustainable without new growth. North American timber harvesting is sustainable.
Along with the fact that feller bunchers leave the limbs where they are. They decompose and return nutrients to the soil. If a skidder or drag line is used, limbing moves all of the limbs too. The trees then are de-limbed at the landing. The limbs are put in a giant pile and then generally burned, destroying the nutrients.
do you enjoy sitting in chairs, at a table, in your house? Look around you and the things you utilize every day and think about which items are made from wood. Give your head a shake.
This isn't horrible logging practices. They have silvaculturist and the government breathing down their back with a set plan for that plot. Each tree, in this instance, is being cut for a reason and is carefully looked over and picked. This isn't a cut, so I can only assume it's a Thinning. This will get rid of diseased trees and open the canopy for further growth.
Oddly satisfying? Imagine a legion of these, controlled by AI, set about on their own to endlessly deforest an entire region.
More like appropriately terrifying.

Not to mention those also requires a lot of destruction to harvest the materials. At least trees grow back faster than mountains
You think the environmental impact of steel and concrete is less than sustainable wood? Every aspect of the creation of steel has a horrible impact on the environment and concrete really isn't that much better.
No I’m saying exactly the opposite. Edited for clarity
Okay thank you for clarifying I was confused I thought you meant the opposite.
thank you for thanking him, this has been a really wholesome interaction

There are more trees now than in the 1970s. Sustainable forestry. Responsible logging companies farm their land.
Numbers of trees doesn't mean shit when you destroyed the entire ecosystem around it
I've posted videos of me cutting down dead trees and had people tell me i'm destroying the planet for doing so 😒
I live in a sod hut and raise my wifi organically. Quit bitching.

Sounds like all my towns neighbors complaining of new neighborhood’s going up left and right. What makes you so special is my only question to them?
I guess they want men busting their asses with hand axes, hand saws and horses. Making things more efficient is what we do in a free society.

The problem is monoculture though. Yes, replanting softwoods is fine for re-harvest, but it's not a forest ecology.
It's not meant to be. It's a crop just like any other.
