Bushcraft Skills: 1000 Year Old Traditional Technique | Axe, Saw, Billhook
Join me in the woods as I show. you a one thousand year old bushcraft skill and the traditional skill of hedgelaying. Where you cut put a cut into a tree, fold it over, but leave enough bark and cambium layer for nutrients and water to pass up and down the tree. And in a few years time new shoots will grow up in vertical stems and you can create a living hedge! Great for creating wildlife habitats, and for making natural stock fencing to keep in animals. This technique is an ancient british skill and still used to this day to break up fields with hedgerows. I wanted to do this to the border of my woodland as the boundary had a lot of overhanging trees that needed trimming back.
