Thanks as always! It's gone from being even wet than usual here to colder than usual this Autumn. The whole year of weather has been really strange!

Hey there man! This was really nice! Calming, serene and a nice easy vibe! I loved that bit about aspen! I worked a lot of college summers for the US Forest Service in New Mexico. We had a ton of aspen in The Gila as well as all over the mountains of the southwest. As a Forestry major, it was one of my favorite species as well! Love the sound, the brightness it brings to the forest and the smell. They use poplar also for pencils here. You’re right though….. it aint useful for much anything else.😁. I can really appreciate your knowledge about trees for sure. I’m a resident of Massachusetts now and as such I’m a Massachusetts certified arborist so we periodically need to take continuing education classes either in person or on zoom and the knowledge you possess about trees would classify your info bits as continuing education content for points towards our recommended number of ceu’s. Continuing education units. I think the aspen groves do really well in the American southwest because there’s a lot of folks who hunt deer and elk in those areas so the trees stand a chance. As far as the hammock dealio, have you looked into the ddhammocks underblanket? I’m gonna ask santa for that and we’ll see what happens!😉. We’ve gotta get ya out this way so you can check out tbe cool trees over here on the other side of the pool😁. You take care sir snd see ya in the next one. NQU Take care and thanks again.

Thanks so much for watching as always and for the feedback, I really appreciate it. For someone to consider my videos as continuing education, that's really something! I do actually have the DD underblanket. I was lucky to be sent some gear by DD before but I found the underblanket very small and didn't really wrap around enough especially with the dog. I have another one coming from OneWind so I'm interested to see how that performs. I would love to come across and visit across the pond again one day! All the best!

Another great video mate excellent content, keep up the good work. Atb Wullie ✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sam, good to see you back. I mentioned you to another organisation called Mossy Earth. Their latest video on YT was about finding ancient trees in Scotland. Liked the Forest Thoughts. Love to see more aspen about. You camp looked great and please keep the content coming as it is a breath of fresh air on KZread.

Somehow missed this, but the short did its stuff, not least through the teaser for those spectacular aerial shots. Apart from the aesthetics, drones are great for contextualising the 'action' (no sarcasm intended!) Despite your ongoing reservations, a landscape even the Norwegians wouldn't be overly ashamed of ... Particularly enjoyed the lesson at the end (getting quite teacherly now!) - dense with useful info, and a very long way from the 'rambling' you modestly call it when you sign off. One personal query: we've got 3 or 4 aspen we planted as bought-in saplings about five years ago, and this year for the first time they've sent up suckers (30 - 60 cm tall). I was thinking of transplanting them (or potting them up) this winter, but have you any idea how much root length from the trunk they'll need to survive, after a quick & painless amputation with a sharp spade?

Thanks as always for watching and the quality comment Robert! I definitely enjoy using the drone to add some perspective to where I am actually located when I'm camping, allowing me to 'zoom out'. I'll be honest I'm not expert on the horticultural side of things but from my own experience the main tree shouldn't suffer much at all when removing the suckers - here's a useful link from TFL on growing Aspen - treesforlife.org.uk/docs/079_485__growyourownaspenfinalpdfwebsize_1520856688.pdf

@@HighlandWoodsmanThx v much for this - I'd never heard of the Pando grove in Utah, where 40,000 'trees' are (allegedly) just branches of the one parent tree that has spread underground to cover 100+ acres ... making it (allegedly, again) the largest living organism on Earth. The humble aspen gains a whole new level of reverence!

Good to see you both back out again! Loving the drone footage … looks incredible with the inversion. Is there anywhere other than Scotland in aspen’s range that has such rare flowering events?

@HighlandWoodsman

8 ай бұрын

No it appears to be a unique problem to Scotland and the rest of the UK. I think the genetics and age of these stands are a big part of it. Or maybe the climate here is on the edge of their range now. Aspen was actually one of the first species to colonise Scotland after the ice age, before birch or pine.

Good to see you back, you're looking well. What a beautiful world we live in, thank you for sharing those gorgeous views with everyone. Just as a matter of interest, how far can you fly the drone without losing the signal? looks quite a way to me! Really interesting to hear about the Aspens. I've lived in the country most of my life and are familiar with a few trees, but sadly don't know them all. keep up the good work 😊

@HighlandWoodsman

Thanks so much for watching! The actual limits on the drone are a distance of 10000 metres and a height of 2000 metres 😂 but I'm very sceptical. So far I have not flown above 250 metres or further than 1 km away. You can get booster aerials to attach to the controller which probably makes a big difference. I've started to lose signal after 500 metres if there are a lot of trees around. 👍
